Dude is a scumbag, but I think it’s pretty easy to understand that what he says on a podcast, where he’s promoting himself, and what he said to his child are probably not verbatim. We use hyperbole all the time. I might describe to a coworker a conversation with a client where I say, “And I was like, what the fuck do you expect?!” I obviously didn’t use profanity in that exchange and I obviously wasn’t super sarcastic to the client.

This one is a clickbait headline framing something that has poor optics as though it is literal fact when it’s almost certainly paraphrasing. He probably said something more like, “Son, please be quiet,” and the “shut the hell up” bit is describing the intensity of his emotion (and not in a hostile way, even).

Fuck JD, but this is a bullshit story.

Sounds like someone who absolutely hates being a parent and is bad at it.

I don’t know, maybe he was just nervous meeting Palpatine and overreacted out of fear?

Calling Trump Palpatine is giving him waaay too much credit lol

This doesn’t read as a literal quote to me. I’m feeling 50/50 that was what he was thinking and said something more appropriate vs actually saying that. He was on a podcast, presumably in a storytelling/jokey frame of mind.

Bristlecone ,

Yeah, I absolutely hate this guy but that does kind of sound like what he was saying. Articles like this that make conservatives think that liberals freak out about every joke. I’m as far left as it gets but even I can see this should not have been an article, basically. Still a giant piece of shit person regardless.

Grabthar ,

Huh. I always wondered what happened to the guy who played Sock from Reaper.

Shut up about your pocket monster, I’m on the phone with a real one.

Can I adopt JD Vance’s kid? Not because I particularly want to raise a child, but because that early enthusiasm shouldn’t be snuffed out by Vance, especially not when he’s talking to someone about whom he says:

  • “I’m a Never Trump guy.”
  • “My god, what an idiot.”
  • “America’s Hitler”
  • “Mr. Trump is unfit for our nation’s highest office.”
  • “I can’t stomach Trump.”

I agree with J. D. Vance’s factual quotes, but not his political ambition, which apparently caused him to reverse-course on all that and bend the knee. My personal conspiracy theory is Trump chose him as VP Nominee because that enables Trump to humiliate Vance with his past comments and current subservience. He’s just that petty. I hope he loses the election because of it…

Nice try but his adrenachrome is already paid for by Musk.

JD Vance is a disgusting excuse for a human.

”And he is really into Pokemon cards right now, he’s going through a Pokemon phase… I mean he’s really into it, so he is trying to talk to me about Pikachu and I am on the phone with Donald Trump, I’m like ‘son, shut the hell up for 30 seconds about Pikachu,’” Vance told the podcast.

Wow. Maybe Vance should have gotten some stability in his career before he had kids. Maybe figured himself out a little better and grown as a person until he was ready.

Children are a life-altering obligation, after all. Maybe Vance would have been happier if he focused on his career first. Of course, that’s a deeply personal matter, and I would never assume that I know better than someone else what is best for their life.

But it’s his wife’s job to raise the kids! Idk why she even let them near him when he was expecting a very important phone call anyway!

Leviathan ,

Looks like things are getting pretty stressful in the MAGA/Couch-Fucker party.

eestileib ,

Can someone explain what a Pokémon “phase” is?

Is he implying that you become less interested in Pokémon at some point?

My 14-year-old who had an Evee plushie and used to call our dog Charlie “Charmander” rolls her eyes when she sees Pokemon stuff now that she’s a “I’m too cool for this kids stuff” teenager.

Then she asks if I can get her some Hello Kitty stickers for her to put on her phone case.

inclementimmigrant ,

I bet if his son was talking about this pokemon he wouldn’t have yelled at his kid.

Having sex with a chair is not natural, it is against god.

Willy ,

This is a bs story. This was just a recounting of him getting the call for VP. It’s not a direct quote. Just how he felt, and if you’ve had kids, there are plenty of times you want to tell them to shut the hell up like that but don’t say it that way. There are reasons to not like this guy but we can be better than this rage bait bs.

CHOPSTEEQ ,

For real, friends in discord were aghast at this, and I’m thinking “bro I’ve heard you tell your kids to shut the fuck up.”

Fondots ,

I don’t know anything about the full send podcast, if it’s meant to be a serious interview, I think that’s kind of a bad look on him that he’d choose to recount it with a mild profanity like hell. I curse like a sailor on my own time, but in any situation where I’m acting as a representative of my job or acting in any sort of official capacity for any organization I’m a part of, or just trying to make a good, professional impression, my speech is squeaky clean and fit to be aired on PBS kids.

Even if it’s meant to be a more light-hearted and humorous podcast, there’s a fine line to walk for people in the public eye and they need to be mindful of what sort of soundbites they’re making that could be taken out of context. That kind of shows a little lack of forethought about what he’s going to say and how it might be received by his audience, which isn’t exactly a desirable quality in a politician.

Yeah… relatable internal thoughts aren’t the way to take down this idiot who is taking himself down.

Later that night he punched his wife in the face

@hohoho@lemmy.world avatar

Did he sleep on the couch, or with it?

carl_dungeon ,

Yes

taiyang ,

Pokemon isn’t a phase, I’ll talk Pokemon with his kid while he goes and loses an election.

Snapz ,

What a weird thing to say to your kid. That’s not normal. What happen to protect the kids? “Shut the hell up so I can talk to the rapist, convicted felon and credibly accused pedophile!”

Are these the family values?
