    When pressed, he added: “Look, all [Trump] said is that Kamala Harris is a chameleon.”
    “She is everything to everybody, and she pretends to be somebody different depending on which audience she is in front of. I think it’s totally reasonable for the president to call that out, and that’s all he did,”

    Oh! I get it! The racists who make everything about race don’t like it when the races try to celebrate their race.

    I shudder to think how Vance is gonna handle the first time his kids get mixed-race comments. You think he’ll tell them they gotta choose to be Indian or white, but they can’t be both? Ooooh! Bonus points if he fumbles his words and starts trying to backpedal when he says something about “Indians and Americans,” and then has to explain why Columbus was actually an amazing genius and not a failure in every sense of the word.

      You think he’ll give them the choice to be Indian? He’ll tell them that they’re white if he likes them.

      I actually know a South African (with a white wife) who had that same discussion with his kids. He told them something along this line:

      If you marry a white girl, people will see you as white. If you marry a black girl, people will see you as black.

      This guy was unfortunately a die-hard Republican.

    I feel kind of bad for his wife, but she did clerk for Brett Kavanaugh and John Robert’s, and was a lawyer arguing on behalf of big corporations, so…I don’t feel that bad.

      Most of that stuff doesn’t bother me. I don’t think most legal clerks have the luxury of choosing only judges who they’re philosophically aligned with to work for. And everyone, even big companies, deserve legal council. But she married a shit bag, and she’s endorsed his views, so I don’t feel badly for her.

    Vance was gay, and then he wasn’t

    “I’ll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I’m going to hell.”

    When he brought up the issue with his grandmother — known to Vance as “Mamaw” — she replied bluntly: “Don’t be a fucking idiot, how would you know that you’re gay?”

    When Vance explained his reasoning, she laughed.

    “JD, do you want to suck dicks?” she said, according to the book.

    The young Vance, apparently “flabbergasted,” said: “Of course not!”

    “Then you’re not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay,” she replied. “God would still love you.”

    “She is everything to everybody, and she pretends to be somebody different depending on which audience she is in front of. I think it’s totally reasonable for the president to call that out, and that’s all he did,” said Vance, who also accused Harris of putting on a southern accent during a campaign stop in Atlanta on Tuesday.

    You mean like Trump who was a Democrat and now isn’t or Trump was all for project 2025 and now isn’t? Trump has more flipflops than a coastal beach.

    As a half asian/white person, white people call me asian (mostly slurs), and asian people call me a mistake.
