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

Can someone explain what a Pokémon “phase” is?

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

🤔

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?

You just know that guy sneaky sniffs his own fingers a lot. There is just something about the way he stands; like he’s always a bit tensed for the opportunity to sneak a quick sniff.

Is there something wrong with sniffing your fingers? I unconsciously sniff my fingers all the time. It’s a behavior I picked up from my dad, who picked it up from his dad. It’s part of the way I interact with the world, I guess. Helps me know how things I’ve touched smell.

God he has the political instincts of a tree stump. Why would he think this story makes him look good?

After reading the title, I thought that his son was talking to Trump about Pokémon.

Turns out, it was Vance talking to Trump on the phone and his kid wanted to talk to his father about Pikachu.

”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.

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.

Makes sense. Only JD is allowed to talk Pokemon to Trump

Family Values!

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

Dude, you threw your wife and your kids in front of the bus because of Trump?
You're never gonna recover from this, ever.
