Fixed that for you.
No. It's clearly a stupid thing to do. Being detached from the complex truth of things is 90% of the problem with mankind, as far as politics go. I thought there was substance behind these jokes but it's all made up.
I'm sure there's plenty of real things to underscore what a massive duche Trump VP is. Making things up about him, or anybody else, should be illegal (and it is) for good reasons.
And you call others stupid... lol
I didn't mean to generalyze. You are clearly stupid, since you can't imagine a world where, I don't know, Jordan Peterson has hidden in Russia to go on a drug induced coma to fix his drug addiction and there's some tangential validity to one VP potential pansexual urges.
You are clearly stupid since you don't understand what a joke is, and since you don't know how to write the word "generalize".
You are mixing ignorance with stupidity. I'm ignorant.
You know who else gets accused of not getting jokes? Lefties liberal snowflakes. Rings any bell?
This isn't Truth Social.
You just fixed my ignorance, thanks.
So what up with Obama birth cert and the elections Biden stole?
I don't know, you tell me. It looks like we are considering those fair game to gain the upper hand on our opposition...
EDIT: oh you meant the legality? Well, it's America so the law doesn't really apply the way one would expect.
The difference is satire vs disinformation; nobody with any brains actually believes Vance fucked a couch, and every time I've seen it queried anywhere it's always stated as a completely fake dumb joke.
It's just fucking funny because fascists are creepy snowflakes, and it gets under their skin.
Satire is supposed to be thought provoking. This is pathetic.
Cry us a river
"I don't care" is always a legitimate answer. I just think you guys are wrong and engaging in the same shitty behaviours we are trying to grow out of as a society.
It's great to see what tiny issues resonate with their massive self doubt though, tiny hands or fucking couches
It's not at all that. It's to reflect what the republicans have done for years now. But this story is funny and obviously fake so it's even more funny when you can see it actually getting under the skin of vance and other republicans. That's why it gets repeated so often. I understand this and I'm not even America
Edit: too -> to (autocorrect)
To* reflect?
So it's not that it's wrong it was all about envying them and finally we can engage in the same behaviour too?
Glenn Beck raped and killed a girl in 1984. JD Vance raped and killed a couch in 2004. When will Americans wake up and stop them?
I'm concerned that there was a live couch to kill. Did he at least take the leather and uh, upholster a couch with it?
Couch herds were a sight to see, roaming the Great Plains, many decades ago. Alas
Someone's mad that Trump has lost the mandate of heaven (shitposters)
Trump never had a mandate from heaven, primarily because heaven does not exists and if it did exist it wouldn't grant any kind of mandate since the point is to let stuff go any which way and then judge souls after death.
The joke couldn't have gone further over your head if it had a 3 stage rocket system.
That's entirely possible.
Props for being self-aware.
The couch is a metaphor for American political discourse. JD, the crude white “Everyman” that has been rawdogging it a la Gingrich for the past several decades. This went over your head?
I am humbled. Thank you.
People would want to have a beer with me because I really like beer.
