Father of the Year, this guy.
Vance calls it “The most important phone call of my life” but it’s with a twice-impeached, racist, rapist weirdo creep loser with 34 felony convictions.
I’d prefer to hear about Pikachu.
PǏ- KÁ
CHUUUU!!!
Is it, like, cheesy bread? I’d be pretty subdued right now by some cheesy bread.
I’ll cheese your bread you dirty little slut.
Well, im hard AF.
Pikachu should be all of our rocks in these trying times.
The party of family values.
He’s weird and creepy, bit as a father of a 7 year old obsessed with Pokémon, Minecraft, superheroes etc, sometimes they do bang on about it. Telling them to shut up is not appropriate language but asking them to be quiet or to wait is perfectly fine.
Personally, I ask them to be quiet, then tell them I’ve got a song for them to listen to and out on black eyed peas. Then we all laugh together. Then I explain about peoples personal time and appropriate language and how they can sonetimes seem pushy and rude and if they are not careful people will be rude to them, in response.
This is a nothing of a story. He’s dangerous and weird in many ways. Abrasive language to his young family just shows poor character. But its not a story. We knew much worse before already.
The story is that he proudly shared this story. He thinks telling his young child to shut the hell up because Trump is more important paints him in a good light.
This wasn’t a hidden camera capturing a bad moment, this was Vance bragging.
It’s a story because he’s a weirdo monster that cares more about licking Trump’s boots than loving his kids. Even if that’s not the case, he told that story precisely to communicate how much he loves a man he previously described as a modern Hitler.
My 5yo has discovered minecraft. Do I want to listen to 12 straight minutes of wolf variants? No I do not. But I listen politely because he’s sharing something that’s important to him and that bond is precious to me. Vance is shit and my heart hurts for this little who’s learning that’s how people who love you talk to you
Lol, and just wait until they hit the YouTube videos about different characteristics.
Of course as parents we listen to their hobby, even if not interesting to us. However, they also need to learn that they cannot always be the Centre of attention, or they are in for a rude awakening when they aren’t.
I think Vance did it clumsily but its fine to moderate when you spend quality time with your kids, without being an ass, like he was. Being an ass is the least of his crimes though.
then tell them I’ve got a song for them to listen to and out on black eyed peas.
You monster
JD is an outhouse of a human being but this sounds like regular parenting shit that occasionally happens. I have a nephew who has definitely needed to be told to shut the hell up occasionally.
“Shut the hell up” is not an appropriate way to quiet a child, from infancy to adulthood. It’s rude and causes more issues than it solves.
Probably not ideal parenting but this is pretty low on the fucked upness meter. Especially for the couch fucker.
I remember being noisy and loud while was dad was working and he shouted “shut the hell up”
It wasn’t out of anger or hatred, I was just being an annoying kid running around the house.
It’s fine.
I Don’t even tell that to a dog.
How many children do you have?
Is that you JD?
I have a child of my own and work in direct patient care at a pediatric hospital, it’s not appropriate.
Normal amount
How many brain cells do you have?
As a father I often find it difficult not to swear in front of my children. However, I never swear directly at my children. Very inappropriate use of language , that to me signals potential abuse. Can you imagine how a father like that would respond if his child uses the same words at him?
The internet: Fucking shitass swear words lul. They’re just words like any other.
Also the internet: Think of the children when you say naughty bad words! Also show them all the tits and naked europe but never violence or death either!
Turns out context matters. Who would have thought
the Internet is not one person
The internet is 3 of the same people on every site and lurkers lol.
That’s really missing the point. I don’t see the big issue with swearing in front of children. Hugely different dynamic if you swear directly at children.
The question you should ask is: is the type of language I am using with my kid likely to cause a fight if I had targeted at a stranger in a bar. If the answer is yes, then it’s inappropriate.
This is not it.

This is wrong. But it’s good you talked it out and learned better, now.
I posted this over on /c/news and honestly, I don’t think it’s that bad. Dude gets a call saying “hey, wanna be my vice president?” and his 7 year old won’t shut up about Pikachu? “Shut the hell up for 30 seconds, daddy is on the most important phone call of his life” is really not that crazy of a thing to say. We don’t have kids (yet) but I feel like every parent has had that moment in their life, no?
The fact that he was fine sharing this story publicly and didn’t see a problem says a lot about how he treats his kids behind the scenes
IDK, it’s relatable. It’s probably the most non-weird thing about him I’ve heard this week. Or, like, ever.
When you’re a Dad, you need to remember that you’re always leading by example, and so it’s important to rise to the moment, especially in those “most important” moments. You are yur child’s universe, and how you speak & interact sets the tone for this future interactions.
Patience and respect are learned skills. Kids learn by watching.
So, you’re a parent? And you have never once had a bad moment like that with your kid? Like never yelled at them in a high stress moment even once?
Recognizing that it’s a moment of weakness is what’s important, don’t brush it off and pretend it’s perfectly fine. Recognize it as a slip up in a moment of stress.
Right. I don’t think he’s bragging about this? He’s sharing it because it’s a humanizing moment
Oh, don’t misunderstand me. I’m human, there’s no question I was surly to or around the kids in a moment when my mind was elsewhere. When it would happen, I’d try to make it a learning moment for myself and do better, maybe make a teaching moment for the kids too. The point would be to reinforce that what I did wasn’t okay, and not an example how we wanted to talk to each other.
What I certainly wouldn’t do is casually relate that incident to a reporter the way Vance did, suggesting that ‘shut the hell up’ is a normal interaction in my family. That’d be weird.
Ladles & Gentlemen, this is your GOP: the party of Family Values!
A fine upstanding citizen from the " hallar"

You guys can be ridiculous sometimes.
Yeah, you’re right.
Tell us again about Obama’s tan suit.
Noo I wanna talk about his “baggy” jeans. Why won’t he apologize to the American people for losing weight as president!
/s all of it
That was stupid and ridiculous too. Why is shit like this worthy of even writing about?
Even worse, why do you guys gobble it up?
Because every little thing like this only serves to numb the public to actual issues. When you can do nothing but talk about what color someone’s toenails are this week, or this …whatever this shit is…
This is why people are so burnt out on bothering with politics in the first place. Because half of the “politics” are…mindless inane shit like this. This isn’t news…this is tabloid shit.
