After a week of raging at childless women, looks like Vance will skip a vote on expanding the child tax credit.

Even Schumer admits it's a show vote.

Politics.

Vance will fail to show anyway.

He was at the border today. Something that what's-her-name still hasn't done since June of 2021.

Nothing weird about politicians whoring for a photo op. That it accomplishes sweet FA is beside the point.

"Weird" is the least liberal sort of word to use to paint an oppositional political tribe. What exactly are the blue haired girls self-identifying as in high school? They want to be weird, so they have some sort of identity, or some sort of an excuse for being unattractive. Now they're all in lockstep calling their opposition "weird". Just more evidence that the cultural left is the new conservatism, appealing to the same people as conservatism has always appealed to.

What a weird thing to say.

Apparently this was outside a Reno venue where he was to speak.

He had a nice turn of phrase today, referring to the market as the Kamala Krash.

He must have had a team of crack writers to come up with that rib tickler.

Doesn't matter. It's catchy and if things get worse, could stick.

[George K]

LOL.

[Jolly]

That's weird!

[George K]

And, of course.

Is that real?

How would the Vances score Biblical Jesus using this matrix, “actively chosen not to have kids” or “tried but were unsuccessful”?

THat's the headline.

She no doubt only mentioned that he didn’t mean to insult childless people who were trying to have kids.

I doubt she reiterated his intention to insult childless women who weren’t trying. What would be the point? She was sent to clean up, after all.

I doubt she reiterated his position that step parents aren’t real parents either, for the same reason.
