Hey look! It's Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies that can't complete a coherent sentence, and his weirdo side kick, couch fucker. You may better know him as the guy that talked shit about Dementia Don, referring to him as Hitler for one fine example.

[-] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 29 points 4 months ago

Don’t forget pedophile!

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Trump needs a legit supervillain name, so his side kick couch fucker doesn't feel left out.

[-] InternetUser2012@midwest.social 12 points 4 months ago

Fanta Menace?

[-] lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 4 months ago

Pageant Predator?

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

He's a villain, all right, just not a super one.

LOL. At first, I was like "ugh, please don't editorialize the post title" but then I clicked the link.

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 53 points 4 months ago

biasbot rates it a HIGH credibility source too LOL

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 53 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Just goes to show you can be spicy and credible at the same time.

Also, I don't think the headlines are typically factored into credibility ratings (I could be wrong on that, though). Otherwise, no media outlet would have a shred of it. I guess that's just being realistic to the click-bait world we live in.

A lot of people are saying they’re banging each other

[-] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 63 points 4 months ago

They definitely had a threesome with a couch.

[-] MermaidsGarden@lemmy.world 46 points 4 months ago

Are people still talking about JD Vance having sex with a couch? We need to put to bed the idea of JD Vance having sex with a couch. It’s not appropriate for people to think of Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance having sex with a couch. JD Vance has gone on record to deny that he has had bare skin contact with a couch within the last 5 years. It’s absurd that JD Vance was banned from a Cleveland area IKEA after making sweet, passionate love to a KIVIK Sofa Chaise.

Once again, there is no evidence of JD Vance having sex with a couch. You need to stop calling JD Vance a couchfucker.

☝️ This, but unironically.

Because the bigger issue is the dolphin fetish!

[-] memfree@lemmy.ml 17 points 4 months ago

Look, I don't know if JD Vance had sex with a couch. I don't even know if JD Vance had sex with couch cushions. But yes, I've heard that JD Vance did not WRITE that he had sex with a couch in his book. I don't know if JD Vance wrote he had sex with a couch somewhere else, though.

John Oliver called Vance's staff to ask and they hung up on Oliver, which was reported as 'not a "no"', so I had been thinking, 'ya know? maybe that JD Vance guy really is a couchfucker, who knows?' But here you're saying he's denied it? Or partially denied it? Well I don't know what to think now, but I guess it is safer to presume JD Vance having sex with a couch is probably more legend than fact. Certainly, JD Vance having sex with a couch isn't something you'd want to discuss in polite society or political debate because we've no proof and a possible denial.

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago

I want to take a moment to talk about the idiocy of hanging up on Jon Oliver.

If Jon Oliver calls you to ask a question, you need to answer. Hanging up on Jon Oliver asking if you've fucked a couch makes me think you actually have fucked a couch.

Before, I was in it for the memes, but that really does make me think he's fucked a couch.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

I love how repeating that JD Vance is a couch fucker over and over, makes it that much more likely that it'll be picked up by AI search, and repeated as fact. Especially in articles like this.

Not just a couch, probably some weird sectional with a chaise on one side and maybe a recliner on the other meant for a more “cinematic” experience.

[-] TipRing@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago

They're saying Vance was....

In it for the chaise.

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

One's not a child or pornstar and the other isn't a couch. Probably not happening.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been the foremost practitioner of the "call them weird" campaign strategy, but Harris has deployed it as well. It resonates with normal people, who just want to live their lives and keep the government out of their underwear and have Thanksgiving dinner without their weird uncle starting some weird fight about some weird Fox News talking head who is still obsessed about finishing fifth in a college swim meet many years ago.

Nailed it

Maybe soon Trump's ear will be potty trained and won't have to wear diapers.

[-] Timii@biglemmowski.win 21 points 4 months ago

I was gonna say: Haven't there been photos of him no longer wearing the ear diaper? Has his brain infection resumed seeping?

An old pitiful weird man with his couch loving friend. What a bunch of weirdos

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 28 points 4 months ago

Donnie Poopypants and JD Couchfucker. Name a more iconic duo.

[-] davidagain@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

That was a great and well written article. Amusing and informative. You should read it if you haven't.

And no, I would absolutely not want Trump at the dinner table, it would be exhausting, and I wouldn't want Vance at the dinner table, he's just too unhinged. If Kamala Harris came to dinner I think we'd all have a good time. I think she'd be good company.

[-] moon@lemmy.cafe 19 points 4 months ago

I'm really liking this strategy of calling them weird as hell

Gross rape advocates.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago

I have no problem spreading fake rumours about JD Vance the couch fucker.

[-] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

The new guy at the factory put too much stuffing in the couch Vance bought; made it too thiccc. The factory guy wasn't experienced yet at his job unlike that couch once Vance bought it.

(It's been awhile since I have seen such a positive thread on Lemmy.)

[-] thisbenzingring 17 points 4 months ago

That was a good editorial. Worth more than an up vote. Thanks for sharing

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 17 points 4 months ago

"i'm thrilled to have vance as my VP" LOL

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

I hate that these guys are giving weirdos a bad name. There's nothing wrong with being weird, it's HOW you're weird that matters, and they are for all the wrong reasons.

[-] TheKMAP@lemmynsfw.com 21 points 4 months ago

The article covers this

[-] boogetyboo@aussie.zone 11 points 4 months ago

It's so funny how upset it makes the free speech absolutist, 'lol triggering leftist snowflakes, fuck your feelings' types.

It's the online equivalent of going to sit next to someone on the bus and then pausing to look them up and down, grimace and side eye someone else like 'are you seeing this shit?' and sitting somewhere else.

It genuinely seems to hurt their feelings and that makes me happier than it should. I think it's the schadenfreude for those who spend their lives saying horrible, hurtful things about minorities and the vulnerable actually experiencing even 5% of the feeling.

Really warms the cockles.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 4 months ago

Ew no. Looking at things like that could damage your eyesight.

I'm ootl about where the 'weird' phenomenon started last week

[-] silence7@slrpnk.net 36 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Basically, Minnesota governor Tim Walz started using it a while back, and people loosely affiliated with the Harris campaign realized how powerful it was after the couch memes took off.

[-] classic@fedia.io 8 points 4 months ago

Thanks. I appreciate the extra context!

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
