    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.

    Facts have never been a problem for Republicans so J.D. Vance is a couch fucker regardless of what any fact checking says.

      Folks could show up to rallies with a couch cushion bungee corded to their crotch just like the ear bandage thing.

      Now I’m not saying JD is a couchfucker, it’s just really concerning that he HASN’T come forward to prove to us that he has fucked no couches.

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

    So a guy on twitter made up a story about Vance admitting to fucking a couch in Hillbilly Elegy, which is verifiably false.

    AP posts an article which says as much, but it’s titled ‘No, JDVance did not have sex with a couch’, which is a slightly different claim. Since they can’t affirmatively prove that Vance hasn’t ever fucked a couch, they took the article down.

    And people took that and ran with it.

      It’s funny and he can’t prove otherwise. I’m OK with it. It’s a stupid bullshit meme that doesn’t mean anything, but that’s fine.

      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.

    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.
