No kidding, first thing I see:

Seeing an animated thumbnail of that is giving me flashbacks of the first time I watched Ring.

Can we all give a huge shout out to Always Sunny in Philadelphia for being great and being the one inspiration for so many memes?

Ok so this is great, but where does the whole JD being a couch fucker thing come from? Is there some sort of evidence he did this or is it just some shit someone made up thats kind of funny?

Made up thing as a little joke -> fact checkers did not realize it was a joke -> AP writes article saying "No, JD Vance did not have sex with a couch" -> people spread funny article -> people start widely talking about it

(Also didn't help that the AP ended up taking down their fact checking article because it bypassed their typical editing process, and people just saw that the article was taken down. Leading to even more spread of it)

Despite having read about the JD Vance dolphin stuff, some part of me instinctually does not trust that link with the text around it lol

(The link itself is fine, to be clear)

"No, JD Vance did not have sex with a couch"

Did they provide any evidence? Or are we just supposed to take James David at his lack of word?

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

The headline should have read that he didn't write about it in his book. It's likely another reason why the AP News article was taken down because technically you can't prove he never did

Neither you nor AP news can prove he hasn't fucked a couch

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

But ap are sHiTlIbs tho

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

One thing is currently very true - a lot of important people are asking questions about Vance and his couch. And the AP pulled down an article denying his sectional intercourse.

Print photos of different couches and mail them to any or all of these locations:

Don’t forget to add little love notes. e.g., “Thinking of you 💋”

Sign up the offices for couch catalogs, too, c/o James Donald Bowman (JD Vance)

Jesus, can I please unsee that? A naked, oiled up Danny deVito needs a NSFL warning.

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sorry, you're gonna have to be like the rest of us, turned on for the rest of your life

Flaccid, erect. Flaccid, erect.

Not too hard… not too soft.

You watch your mouth

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Sorry, what has been seen can’t be unseen.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Can't tell if this is a joke.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

So how's about that Kamala Harris for president? 🔵 🔵 🔵

[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What did I miss. I’m just seeing couch memes everywhere
