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.

Wow if that’s how upset he is over a potential minor emotional trauma for his child I wonder how he would feel about her living in Ukraine under bombings?

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.

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

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago

Using his own kids as a political prop, of course.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 14 points 16 hours ago

Imagine you and your family being confronted by a Russian conscript who shoots anything that moves.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

He hasn't even gotten to the stupid prizes part yet and he's already whining. Being asked questions on the street about awful things you've said and done - seems like the most mild of experiences and a critical part of democracy.

It's not like he's facing prison or anything.

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemm.ee 2 points 13 hours ago

I hope we see that

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 9 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Not as catchy as Taylor Swift's version.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 13 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I hope they were armed to the teeth and you piss your bed from nightmares for the rest of your pathetic life.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

You can see the video. It seems like an extremely mild bunch of people asking him questions he was uncomfortable about.

He's just whining. I'm remembering how the qons were acting like it was 9/11 2.0 when Huckabee was....checks notes....denied a fucking cheese plate at a restaurant that didn't want to be seen endorsing these monsters.

I also remember something in the first little d term where some con was joined on the sidewalk, and people around him walked along with him, asking questions he didn't like. He acted like he was this close to be abducted by terrorists. I can't remember if that was Tucker or what, but it was some right wing douche clutching their pearls over a big fucking nothing.

Sucks to suck

[–] ours@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

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

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

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 2 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours 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 13 hours 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.

[–] uberdroog@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, get used to it maybe

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Never before have I wished I were back in Cincinnati.
