    This is so fucking gross and please don’t think it’s what I think but:

    An Asian wife is great if you’re a VC in silicon valley but what if you want to be president?

      Except that she’s getting pushed to convert now as the result of this. So, typical GOP tactic, make an insane comparison and then use the halfway point to force others to move the direction you want.

        I think Vance is publicly making the push so that when she doesn’t convert, he can say that their religious differences became incompatible. He gets to marry Ms. Arizona, she gets to be the second lady, and Usha somehow gets the blame for not being faithful to her husband.

        Is this conversion thing real? I mean, they have two kids, right? Isn’t this something you would typically talk about before having children? Or at least when kid 1 is baking.

          No, no! That’s how normal people think through things! These people are power-hungry walking piles of shit. Vance went from calling Cheetoman Hitler to running on the same ticket as him. He’s willing to sell out any way possible, and they only know how to use other people and throw them away.

      I dunno if her being Asian is that much of a liability. Melania is Russian Slovenian.

        That JD might marry her - a “white” woman - because it looks better when he wants to run for pres.

        Gross, but as soon as he & Usha divorce I will remember this.

          Divorce? No, no, divorce is bad, they’ll soon be making that illegal.

          No, he’ll just have the marriage annulled, and deport her to El Salvador or Rwanda or somewhere like that.

          Or she’ll just disappear from some detention centre and all official records.
