Answer 1

Something like this?

.padd10_m {
  font-size: 0px;
}
.padd10_m > * {
  font-size: 14px;
  /* Apply normal font again */
}

<div class="padd10_m">
  <a href="http://www.caviarandfriends.com/job_board/user-profile/admin/" class="grid_view_url_thing1">admin</a> US
  <img src="http://www.caviarandfriends.com/job_board/wp-content/themes/PricerrTheme/images/flags/us.png">
</div>

Working fiddle

Or

If you want to go with JavaScript (I don't see why though), Here is the solution:

var pad = document.querySelector('.padd10_m');
Array.prototype.forEach.call(pad.childNodes, function(el) {
  if (el.nodeType === 3) {   // check if it is text node
    pad.removeChild(el);     // remove the text node
  }
});

<div class="padd10_m">
  <a href="http://www.caviarandfriends.com/job_board/user-profile/admin/" class="grid_view_url_thing1">admin</a> US
  <img src="http://www.caviarandfriends.com/job_board/wp-content/themes/PricerrTheme/images/flags/us.png">
