It’s starting to sound like PAB is having buyer’s remorse about JD Vance and now wants to “You’re Fired!” him. Didn’t the RWNJs just threaten to file suit against someone, whoever?, to force the Dems to keep Biden on the ticket because too late, he’s your nominee, no take-backs allowed! Except without the formality of the convention process, Joe wasn’t actually the nominee, whereas JDV already was the convention-certified VP nominee, so they’re stuck with him, although you know Donnie will somehow slither out of it anyway if he wants to?

Sorry, I’m a mite bit confused today. It’s probably from the whiplash traumas and panic of the last couple of weeks that have seemingly screeched to a sudden halt, and now we’re blanketed in so much schadenfreude we don’t know what to do with it. I’ll take it, though!

'Let’s give votes to all children in this country, but let’s give control over those votes to the parents of those children.'

Which is another conservative thing: absolute control of your family. You are not allowed to be your own person with thoughts, ideas and desires, you are property of your husband/father and will do everything they command, to the point of them making choices for you.

In this example, it's just stupid vote-stacking wish fulfillment, but it is the basis for estrangement and a lot of pain when children discover they have different ideas about what they want and end up having to sever ties with parents who refuse to acknowledge that they have created a person, not property.
