Is that image real?
My ai sense is tingling, but this admin has been a part of so many supremely bizarre things that I can’t rule it out completely
It's REALLY sus ~~coming from Twitter~~. Notably, the couch and her clothing have the exact same pattern. So presumably if this was real someone would have had to reupholster the couch.
Edit: threads
someone would have had to reupholster the couch.
They already do that a few times a week at Number One Observatory Circle ever since they Vances moved in 🤷
Also, I don’t know why the Second Lady (that’s a thing, right?) would ever pose for a photo shoot in pajamas
The fist lady posed nude, so…
Fist lady
Lmao
Freudian slip
I saw her nudes a while back, must have missed that photo shoot.
Given the context of the supposed interview... Pajamas would totally be something they use to try and add authenticity with the common man.
For plaids, thats not really that crazy to find a shirt and matching upholstered couch. (Although now that I think about it I dont think ive ever seen a plaid couch irl, but google has plenty they want to sell me...)
but because all the patterns (tartans) represent families (like a coat of arms) youll see them reused for a lot of different items.
Like at one point, I had a shirt, a throw blanket, and a jacket with a plaid liner, all with the same exact blue green black patern... which i later found out was clan Mckay, and was one of my friend's clan colors.
I think this is one of the Stewart variants? Which would kind of be ironically appropriate forna wannabe kings wife?

It is more complicated than that. There are Scottish Clan tartans, Irish Clan tartans, military tartans, generic tartans, then other plaids and check patterns. You're technically not supposed to use the clan or military tartans for anything other than their intended purpose, but the generics are open game.
Also doesn't help that the Scottish and Irish diaspora in North America is fucking massive even if you are just going by self identification let alone genetics. It's kinda inevitable that clan and military tartans would get misused eventually.
Also as someone who self identified as California-Scots let me tell you the fucken breadth and width of folks who identify as some variety of Scots and/or Irish is downright mind numbing, I've met fellow pals bastards like myself, Native Americans who integrated it into their families identity, and at least one black dude who's grandfather was adopted by a McNulty and who carried that name still. All of them are valid and I will disembowel and feed to the ravens any who disagree.
She's 40 and doesn't even look like this, plus the fingers are weird and the clothing exactly matches the couch.
You can look up pictures of Usha Vance. That ain't her at all.
No, this is AI. Look at the middle finger on her right hand. It's phasing through half a finger under it.
Edit: the top two buttons on her shirt are also placed weird too.
It's also AI because of common sense. People don't wear clothes with their couch pattern, even less so for an official picture when sitting on said couch. The couchfuckers' wife doesn't mimic a couch, the same way trump doesn't drive a taco shaped car
I mean yeah on its face the picture looked incredibly fake, or at best, staged. But some folks don't use common sense anymore. I see boomers sharing AI videos of wild foxes warning a trucker of a rock slide, proclaiming "This proves that god's creatures sense these disasters before they happen!" and they don't even stop to think, "hey, who's filming this, and why does that truck have an amorphous model badge?"
Common sense is an endangered species.
Initial tweet(“”) is dumb too right?
Nobody asked her about making babies no?

I really love that you're trying to analyze little details here as if the picture just clearly isn't her. Like you don't have to work that hard on this one buddy.
Some folks in this thread seemed genuinely not sure if this picture was real. Just trying to help.
It also feels like a somewhat important skill to have, especially now that AI is getting better at making realistic looking pictures. Those gradeschool "find the mistake in this picture" exercises are finally paying off, lol.
I didn’t see anything strange when I glanced over her hands the first time, but usually when I feel the need to check in the first place it’s because my subconscious noticed it was AI right away.
No that doesn't even look like her.
The fact that she looks more like Freida Pinto than Usha Vance makes me think it's AI.
Maybe 🤷

I really hope he starts fucking Erikkka and his marriage ends in disaster.
And maybe someone in the Vance family gets polio since they're trying to infect the rest of us with their anti vaccine bullshit. And then Usha gets deported. And maybe one of the kids is shot at school by a disgruntled exstudent. Nothing will change until the people in charge start living in the America the rest of us have the misfortune to live and die in.
He's gay, so I don't think there will be any vag penetration just sectional.
I don't get it. Is there another comment further down that explains the joke even further that was maybe cropped out?
Sounds like you're one of today's 10,000!
You see, JD Vance is very fond of furniture. Don't let anyone or anything (including the article I just linked) tell you that it isn't true!
"I can't wait to debate the guy... that is, if he's willing to get off the couch and show up."
'Getting off the couch' sounds like more sexual courtesy than id have expected from him. Totally had him pegged (not litterally) for a cum n go go kinda guy.
He doesn't get off of the couch, he either gets out of the couch or gets off with the couch.
Actually, I’m just bad at making jokes 😅. I was trying to call out including the reply in the screenshot that explains the joke.
Nah, I got it with your first comment :)
JD Vance likes fucking couches. If his wife wants some, she needs to get upholstered.
she wants to get nailed, but all hes giving are upholstery tacks.
Couchfucker
If trump dies in office and he becomes president, can we refer to him as Sofa King?
I am usually against AI slop memes (clock the fingers), especially when they are used to cyberbully someone.
But also it is Usha Vance, so I will not be so strict.
Uh huh.
Jesus Christ she's 40?
I'm 40 and take terrible care of myself and I think I look far better than her.
I get it though, if I were married to JD Vance, I couldn't look at myself in the mirror either.
Yeah no kidding; I'm the same age and she looks 20 years older than me.
It's easy to think of a clever comeback when you can just have AI generate the thing you're responding to.
And this is how I learned that Usha Vance is pregnant
It's so funny watching JD dodge the fact that MAGA hates his wife and kids, and will demand that he replaces them if he wants the presidency nomination post Trump.
Is he dodging? Last I heard, he was openly, if obliquely, trashing them. But that was second-hand.
Wow
I mean, even if the follow up comment was authentic, the picture is clearly AI and her matching the couch was an intentional thing...
It's an "alley oop" post, you intentionally miss the obvious joke, and set up the next person to get the punchline.
Reddit it was really easy back in the day, but on here 99% of the time no one makes the obvious punchline.
