Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

JD Vance claimed pro-Ukraine protesters harassed him and his daughter in Cincinnati, but demonstrators say they merely passed him en route to a protest.

Video shows a civil exchange where Vance defended U.S. withdrawal from Ukraine aid, contradicting Trump’s stance on Russia’s invasion.

Critics accused Vance of using his child to deflect backlash over his role in a heated Oval Office meeting with Zelensky.

Protests against his Ukraine policy continue as Russia escalates attacks, with demonstrations held in Washington, D.C., and Europe.

This is even lamer than his usual couch theatrics about feigning being "diSrEspeCtEd!!!1!!!". This comes off as Vance being this soft and weak couch potato who feels threatened even by the sight of signs. Considering how little concern he showed about Ukrainian children being "confronted" by russian missiles, he is now eligible for my prayers. He still have to work for my thoughts though.

Glad someone's confronting republicans on Ukraine. No one we elected will.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

And it should happen every time he leaves his house or goes outside.

If he uses his 3 y/o as a sheild that's just more pathetic

douches gonna douche. douche. douche. and cocksuckers gonna suck. suck. suck.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Not as catchy as Taylor Swift's version.

[–] ATDA@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I really don't need to know how old his couch cushion is tbh...

[–] sloppychops@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 days ago

Boys' night out at the local strip club, he turns up at Ikea wondering where everyone is.

[–] TylerBourbon@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

This is the price of being a politician and being a complete P.O.S. one at that.

[–] LonstedBrowryBased@lemm.ee 6 points 4 days ago

Aw poor baby. You cannot convince me that this chubby man child doesn’t wear eyeliner

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

If I was this guy I would have moved my family like they were in witness protection. The chance of them being collateral damage is just too high.

Though he referred to walking his daughter like walking a dog. So he probably doesn't care much.

[–] painfulasterisk1@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I could be wrong but I don't think that they are as unhinged as MAGA storming the capitol.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

See the video. All I see are some elderly people shuffling around him asking questions. With what looks like security at the ready....

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

not a good enough protest if he can talk about it

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Guess daddy should watch his mouth a little better then

[–] Aliktren@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (2 children)

No he knows just a little how ukrainian parents feel every day

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

No, he really does not, not in any way. Or if he does, he doesn't care. He's a soulless, power-mad sociopath, with no more human feeling than a cockroach has.

[–] Nightwingdragon@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Wrong. Ukranian parents have to worry about literal bombs falling on them every single day. I cannot suggest what would have to be done to JD Vance and his family for him to feel what Ukranian parents feel every day without getting a visit from the Secret Service myself.

[–] parody@lemmings.world 1 points 4 days ago

Hey does anybody know whose kid is in the stroller and how old they are? Guessing between maybe 2-4 years old, and prob with a father who wasn’t exactly leading his best life as protestors impugned his integrity (not simply debated genuine views), but who knows

https://youtu.be/_FRXD7aG3XU

I’ll watch again and try to use context clues to figure this out… maybe someone mentions the age

[–] ours@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Who the hell is that guy in the thumbnail? That's certainly not JD "say thank you plwease" Vance.

[–] uberdroog@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Yeah, get used to it maybe

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Just Fucking Dumb should think about the 3-year old Ukrainian children dealing with the shit from Russia.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Never before have I wished I were back in Cincinnati.

[–] 800XL@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

he is such a try hard. What a douchy loser.

[–] Curmudge_john@lazysoci.al 1 points 4 days ago

"Don't hit him he got kids with him my apologies"
