Why are they not talking about couches? What have they got to hide? Seems kinda suspicious.

I agree. It seems like something you’d deny outright. It raises questions about whether or not Trump is a couch-fucker, or if MAGA republicans endorse couch-fucking. Is this their political agenda? To fuck my couch? Or your couch? Are they recruiting my furniture into their couch-fucking culture? There are a lot of questions here.

Given how they taped maxi pads to their ears or wore diapers, id absolutely believe they’d fuck couches to prove their dedication to the GOP. Republicans are nothing if not performative.

I’d rather him fuck couches than be a rapist, but here we are.

Any day when the Epstein videos get released we will all have some videos of Vance properly using a couch.

This was just a silly joke that got WAY out of hand. The author isn’t even trying to claim it’s real. Getting defensive and angry is the worst possible way to respond - therefore, I hope they keep doing it.

It would be something to see a headline about JD Vance denying having relations with a couch

Wonder if it’ll happen

Apparently, the only way to get under their skin is to sink down to their level a bit. It’s funny how much attention some of this stuff actually got. They are just so weird!

It’s not even close to sinking to their level. This shit is harmless. That makes it especially hilarious to see them blow a gasket over something so lame. Trump wants to take his ball and go home.

That reminds me of a story of some business man who was playing at one of Trumps golf courses with his 12 year old son. Trump was right behind them and because he went with a golf cart he caught up with them. Now they had seen Trumps shot go in the bushes somewhere. You mark your golf balls so you know whose ball it is. Trump, undeterred, drove up with his golf cart, decided the best placed ball, the 12 yo kids, was his and continued playing with it to the absolute bafflement of the father and son.

Now this story is from way before he decided to go into politics, but already showed exactly what kind of person he is.

It looks kind of pathetic. These dudes have real policy positions and behavior to attack and instead of anything substantive we get couches and weird.

If you’re trying to reach voters already with you, then it’ll be effective for that maybe, but it only tells other voters you think they’re imbeciles. Which is prolly accurate.

The talk about them being weird wasn’t devorced from policy. It was first brought up when talking about how republican leaders are weird for wanting book bans and abortion related policies

The media latched on to the word “weird” because it was unusual, but if you look at when Walz using it, it’s still largely being used in discussions of their horrible plans and actions

They’re trying to reach republican voters, of course they’re going to assume their target audience is a bunch of imbeciles who don’t care about policy. Because we have decades of evidence that they are a bunch of imbeciles who don’t care about policy.

You gotta meet your audience where they are, and we already know where the republican electorate is.
