      It’s crazy that people think JD Vance had sex with a couch. There’s no evidence JD Vance had sex with a couch. It’s liberals that are perpetuating the idea that JD Vance had sex with a couch. JD Vance has specifically denied that he has had bare skin contact with a couch within a 5 year period. It’s ludicrous that JD Vance was banned from a Cleveland area IKEA after having intercourse with a KIVIK Sofa Chaise.

      I’ll repeat, there is no evidence to believe JD Vance had sex with a couch. JD Vance is not a couchfucker.

        You misunderstand the game here.

        That’s true

        JD Vance is not a couchfucker.

        No amount of fact checking can ever prove that conclusively. You can’t really prove a negative.

        So… JD VANCE, COUCHFUCKER EXTRAORDINAIRE

    On May 19, 1992, during a crucial part of the presidential campaign, Vice President Dan Quayle delivered a speech on family values that came to define him nearly as much as his famous “potato” gaffe. During the speech, he criticized Murphy Brown a fictional 40-something, divorced news anchor on a popular situation comedy   for her choice to have a child outside of marriage. Quayle argued: “Bearing babies irresponsibly is simply wrong.

    Same Shit Different Decade

        So I just went and revisited that whole thing. I remember it vaguely, but not any details.

        The gist was that Murphy was deciding whether to have the baby or abort it and the Republican vice president says she’s terrible for having it because she’s not married.

        Of course, I guess the intent was that she was supposed to marry whoever got her pregnant, but it presents as she should have aborted it. Interesting in today’s forced birth environment.

          I think it’s worse with some of these nutjobs. They’d say you shouldn’t be sleeping with someone you aren’t married to, it’s the extra level of “irresponsibility” they want to slander you with as well. Unmarried and promiscuous…

            If Republicans had their way, executing unmarried pregnant women for having sex outside of marriage would be some sort of exception to a fetus’ right to life…

            Yeah he wasn’t pandering to 1992 republicans, he was pandering to 1960s republicans.

            And he was VP only because Bush the I should have gone to jail for Iran Contra. The more things change amirite

      Ew.

      Taken out of context, the phrase almost sounds like it could be used to argue for education, contraception, and healthcare access, not whatever grossness he’s actually meaning in context.

      I agree it should only be done responsibly, which is why I’m in favor of people have the information and tools to ensure it only happens when they’re prepared and able to do so.

    Hear that, mothers and fathers of America? JD Vance says that you were worthless until you had children. JD Vance says that your children who aren’t parents are worthless.

        It’s worse than that. They’re being told “the liberals” can’t vote Democratic without turning off our brains. Our lies are so obvious.

        It’s a propagandized fear of propaganda baked into the propaganda.

    You could have tried to explain your way out of the 2021 comment. But nope he just goes head long into it.

    I hope we get Mark Kelly as VP now, a fucking astronaut against this clown would be the greatest juxtaposition ever.

      Men are allowed to innocently sit on their couch, at home, possibly naked, doing absolutely nothing disgusting with the aforementioned piece of furniture, while they are waiting for women to throw themselves upon them. If they do not, well, why would you blame the men and not the women?! SAD!

    Even if you raise taxes on people without kids, it will still be cheaper than having kids. Saying that childless people have no stake in the country and maybe their voice should be worth less is wild. But can’t say I am surprised since shit is always flowing out of their mouths.

      Taxes are already higher for people without kids. That’s literally the point of the child tax credit.

    Keep it Republicans. Can’t wait for Republican men to complain to their wives about the possibility of a woman becoming President, especially a black woman. Their hate will turn into their spouses rebelling against them.

      Doubtful. Keep in mind, a woman who marries a guy likely has the same (or very similar) beliefs.

      And there are women out there who believe what people like Vance are preaching - I’ve seen them on dating apps. They’re looking for strong alphas who can dominate them (and I don’t mean like how Vance dominates his couches).

          Someone made up a rumor that Vance wrote about fucking a couch in his memoir and it took off as a thing and now people are repeating it as if it’s true and I’m fine with that for once.
