Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Art as it was intended
It loses a lot of its effectiveness since we’re already talking about the couch. It is better just posted in some random place, so that “COUCH” can burst into the scene unexpected, as was intended.
Is this the fabled Gen Alpha humor I have heard so much about?
...a faction of the internet believing Vance actually had sectional relations...
Look ma, I'm part of a faction!
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.
Is it false though? I don't think you can prove that.
Release the long-form LaZBoy receipt!
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.
Let’s not spread the rumor that JD Vance raped and killed a couch in 1990
And then tried to pin the murder on the Zodiac Killer, Ted Cruz.
sectional relations
Phenomenal
Print photos of different couches and mail them to any or all of these locations:
https://www.vance.senate.gov/office-locations/
Don’t forget to add little love notes. e.g., “Thinking of you 💋”
Makes me wish Lovesac sent out mailers instead of infinite emails.
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.
We're still in the worst timeline, but at least it's occasionally hilarious.
Couch fucker.
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.
Man, how long until the gloves cum off?
I think it depends on the couch. Some couches you'd want to leave the glove on, safety first.
This is all just fucking stupid.
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.
I would say being blatantly racist is stupid. This is just funny.
It’s pretty fucking funny if you ask me
I heard he fucked it raw, no glove. Probably gave it Syphilis.
JD Vance most definitely did not fuck a couch.
The couch fucked HIM
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.
I recently saw a meme of JD Vance and a couch.
He likes the big black couch the most.
There’s always a camera, and they’re so nice to him there.
!fuckablesofas@lemmy.world
I'm disappointed nobody has made this yet.
Where's John Oliver when you need him.
Why they ruin all the fun?
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!
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.
