Is that the guy that fucks couches?

[–] [email protected] 80 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Associated Press did a fact check and concluded that there was no evidence that he didn't fuck a couch.

[–] ChexMax 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But then they removed the article, so honestly, jury's out

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

They removed the fact check that said he HADN'T made sweet love to a couch because their editorial standards require them to be absolutely sure, and there's no way to be certain. After all, who amongst us has not been tempted by a sexy sofa or a charming Chesterfield.

I don't pick his side. #BelieveCouches

[–] FlyingSquid 44 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Many people are saying so.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 months ago

Good people. The best ones really. They’re all saying it.

[–] distantsounds 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It’s Al Borland with de-aging and eyeliner filters added

[–] PlasticExistence 11 points 2 months ago

I don't think so, Tim

[–] dogsnest 50 points 2 months ago (1 children)

When asked if he was being catty, JD was couchy with his reply.

[–] ccunning 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You know he did it on porpoise

Should be expected when you choose a flipper flopper as a running mate…

[–] dogsnest 8 points 2 months ago

Should have been sofa king obvious.

[–] breadsmasher 48 points 2 months ago

Has anyone published a report to confirm JDVance does not eat used kitty litter? Why is he silent on whether he consumes used kitty litter?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 months ago (1 children)

OK, but like, actually don't do this, it's a biohazard, you will actually get charged with a federal crime.

[–] FlyingSquid 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

So you're saying that if you were to do this, WHICH YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT DO, you shouldn't use a return address.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Jokes aside, it's not the most difficult thing in the world for the police to track down a sender in the absence of a return address. There can be some security through obscurity but these days it's not nearly as easy to do this as it was 20 years ago, thanks to a number of new factors. Doing this to a nobody and getting away with it is one thing but doing to to a VP candidate is going to have LEOs pulling all the stops to ID you. There's no shortage of people who don't understand this and are shocked when their door gets banged on or kicked in at 3am.

[–] werefreeatlast 1 points 2 months ago

Not your return address. Or mine.

It's not worth it unless you're already in trouble anyway I guess.

[–] nifty 23 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I feel like this guy is just getting bullied, whereas people should be deriding his regressive way of thinking instead

[–] Jiggle_Physics 40 points 2 months ago (1 children)

People like JD Vance only respond to might making right. You can talk shit, and kill his ideas, logically until you die. he won't be swayed, even in the slightest. Fascists respond to fascism because it is an inherently violent ideology that they believe will allow them to enforce violence on people they don't like. That is is their language, violence, including shows of "strength" that show you can enact, and enforce, said violence. Things that truly call this into question, being bullied, being on the losing end of violence, and otherwise being made to look "weak" publicly, actually do damage their position within their fascist group because they show that the outsiders are stronger than this person.

[–] nifty 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I guess that’s a fair point, sometimes ridicule hits better than reasoned debate

[–] Jiggle_Physics 4 points 2 months ago

Yes, it is sad, but we are beyond being able to reason with the GOP. They know they are, in the long run, the loser if things stay as they are. They realized they need to take the government, take it, if they want to have a real future. They have been orchestrating this for decades. This is coming to a head. It is beyond being able to show them the error of their ways, and that the majority do not like that. They do not care. I will not be surprised if they, at least try, violence. Like real violence, if they lose big in the next ten years, or less.

[–] ladicius 16 points 2 months ago

Why not both?

[–] cm0002 15 points 2 months ago

Oh yea, because the "They go low, we go high" has been really working the past decade /s

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

He is a bully. This is exactly what he deserves.

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Can someone invent a litter robot that drops the turds into an envelope instead of a garbage bag?

[–] expatriado 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

we're gonna need a bigger envelope

[–] FuglyDuck 5 points 2 months ago

I’m sure we can find a few zoo keepers that work with tigers and lions. It sure if they use liter though…

[–] FlyingSquid 7 points 2 months ago

You can just put the garbage bag in a box and mail the box! That would normally be inside-the-box thinking, but I'm sure it's okay in this case.

If you were to do the thing you should definitely NOT do and send that cat litter to J.D. Vance.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Aside from getting your ass in jail (Still amazing that someone can take part in an attempted coup and not only not serve time, but actually run for office despite how clear The Constitution is about the subject, while mailing cat litter has a real chance of causing you larger legal problems. But I digress), you are just kind of fucking up the work day for the poor slobs who have to go through his mail.

[–] Crowfiend 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I know this is a meme, but considering he is a VP nominee, I'm sure the FBI is gonna be keeping tabs on him, and unfortunately mailing someone used kitty litter is an act that falls legally under "domestic bioterorism". It's the same reason that if (you can prove) a worker spit in your food at a restaurant, they get a cushy room in a federal prison.

I support every bit of sentiment from this post, but don't make yourself a felon (both adding to the workforce of legal slavery, and denying yourself the chance to vote against this turd).

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago

I say you should make yourself a felon 34 times

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What the fuck am I reading

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Literal shitposting

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Jokes on you guys, he's into that shit. (literally)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I'm going to need a fork lift. I'm a single old cat guy with a fucking herd of cats that have output to share with him.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I missed what he has to do with used cat litter. Can someone enlighten those of us that aren't caught up?

Also, at the risk of being a killjoy, wouldn't the package have to be marked as a biohazard? I'm not sure it would make it through screening to get to him. A lot of loose pet hair from shedding would be cheaper to ship and get everywhere.
