JD Vance didn't mention Tim Scott or Lindsey Graham, they don't have any kids. It's all about the Democrats.
-
"I dont have anything against cats." That makes it so much better, thanks for clearing that up.
-
Cant even afford a house or livable wage to raise kids, and not everyone is confident of raising kids with all these childhood traumas and abuse!
-
It's none of the government's business whether anyone has children or not. Why is this even being discussed by any politician?
-
Someone needs to inform JD Vance that people without children ALREADY PAY MORE TAXES. We get no child tax credits, no subsidies for child care, no housing or food assistance (WIC), and no tax deductions. In addition, 65% of our property taxes go directly to the local public school district so we are paying to educate our neighbors' children even though we have none. That gives me the right to have a say in how children in my neighborhood are educated. Unless you want to refund my money...

The last person I want to see raising a kid is a person who does not want to raise a kid.
-
For the record, I'm a childless man who lives with a cat. I'm not miserable and I have no regrets about the choices that I've made.

This man needs to go to therapy and get over his anger at his own mother before he starts telling other women about their lives.
-
''Childless cat lady woman'' is kinda ironic considering J.D.Vance's mother was unfit to raise him, and he needed to be raised by his grandmother.

Childless by choice. Also; -retired healthcare professional after forty years -USN veteran -proud great aunt to four great nephews and one feisty princess -lifelong cat rescuer and friend, currently living with three conservative You just can't bundle people into neat little categories, otherwise he would eternally be "that poor hillbilly".
-
Ok, so childless people shouldn't be making policy for the country, but men should be making policy for women? And he literally cannot see how ridiculous he is.
-
Excuse me! Jesus had no children. Having children or not is none of your business JD.
-
People who don't want children shouldn't have children. Duh.
-
I had a terrible life changing trauma of a miscarriage. Do I get credit for trying or am I still "worthless," JD?
-
He still apologized to cats and dogs, not to women he insulted.
-
Tiffany Trump is around the age now that AOC was when Vance made those remarks and Tiffany Trump doesn’t have any kids.
-
The Democrats are not anti-family. Where the hell did the Republican get this idea from?
-
So he doesn't like nuns?.....
-
I'm a childless Black man I guess that makes me a "childless cat lady paying taxes whith his 'Black job'"🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
-
Not everyone wants kids and that is ok.
