No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid," JD Vance. We checked.

By scanning public records and media reports, Mother Jones determined the ages of eight of the 11 participants in the abhorrent leaked texts from young Republicans that Politico covered on Tuesday: They appear to range from 24 to 35.

NEW @motherjones.com: Nobody in that GOP group chat praising Hitler or making racist comments was a “kid,” as JD Vance claimed today

I tracked down their ages. (Weirdly, it seems nobody else did.)

Eight of the 11 in the group chat range from 24 to 35. Ages of others are unclear.

But… no “kids”!

Excellent distillation of the phenomenon: "The contradiction resolves . . . if you understand that tradwives are submitting to traditional patriarchal norms in order to reap the entitlements of whiteness. Slaveholding women in the antebellum South . . . received sweeping power over Black people."

Capitol Police are literally protecting the same scumbag assholes who refuse to pay them but are still fighting to give money to January 6 terrorists. That’s another level of evil.

In unanimous decision, Australia’s highest court is not having Candace Owens. They're denying her a visa, claiming she failed a “character test” according to that nation’s standards.

Just remember all supplements are regulated by the FDA as food not drugs. GOP members of Congress for years have objected to any regulation of this industry so it truly is buyer beware and there is little to no scientific evidence for any of these supplements and of course little to no testing.
