    I got a glance at Reddit and it was like 70% of the political memes and unlike here, the fact checkers were buried in the comments.

    Didn’t get me wrong, I love the meme and will continue to use it but I don’t want people to get the idea it’s not satire. We don’t want a new Birds Aren’t Real type situation where a meme gets out of hand!

    So listen I know this is disproven like Biden sniffing children but jd Vance fucks couches because I still have to explain the Biden rumor is false all the time.

    Jd Vance. He fucks couches. Literally. He does it. Dead ass.

    This meme with Donald Trump’s VP candidate has gotten out of hand.

    Well if a couch was involved then it would be out of hand. I’ll believe* him when he comes out publicly with a statement saying that he have never had sex with a couch.

    • as much as I would believe what any republican has said over the last 8 years

      He would never go sofar as to publicly refute such an allegation. That might make his base question his sectionality, or up holster and figuratively shoot up his burgeoning political career.

    I mean, I’m not aware that JD Vance has denied having sex with a couch.

    One of the funniest segments I’ve ever seen was John Oliver’s most recent show when he talks about this and then slams into a “now this” segment about furniture. Hilarious.

      It’s pretty great judo. The hard right spews neverending bullshit as a weapon to erode the concept of truth and it’s ineffective to try to debunk or fact-check that noise. Ridicule lands well against fascism though.

    You mean to tell me that Republicans are upset about a false story about someone they like?

    Tell me more about Obama’s birth certificate.

      Or the amusing assertion that Michelle was a guy.

      People actually spent time photoshopping and uploading crotch bulges on the First Lady. Wild…

        They STILL go on about this. Just saw some chud that’s an associate (not a friend) of the family talking about “Michael”. I swear most of them have a thing for trans and that’s what the obsession really boils down to…

          I wonder how much hate over the last 100 years has been from closeted conservatives turned self-hating from a lifetime of strict moral browbeating from their peers, parents, and pastors.
