Democrats continue to joke about false JD Vance rumor after years of criticizing Trump for spreading misinformation
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz referred to the rumor during his first speech as Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate.
These fucking losers just can't but help themselves to illustrating how un-human they fucking are at every possible opportunity.
After years of condemning former President Donald Trump for spreading disinformation and conspiracy theories, Democrats are now poking fun at his running mate using a false, vulgar rumor.
Fucking insufferable. Back in the good old days of American electioneering, we'd see presidents accusing each other of being cannibals or Tsarist pimps (Jackeon vs. Adams). Nowadays these absolute losers faint at the very thought of calling a fucking weirdo a fucking weirdo.
The rumor, first posted on X last month, involves a fake passage about a sex act and a couch supposedly in Sen. JD Vance's 2016 book, "Hillbilly Elegy."
Incredibly funny bit though.
The lie spread like wildfire, spawning jokes and memes even as the original joke's author clarified that it wasn't real and later made his account private. Several news outlets published fact-checks of the claim.
Imagine what other gold is hidden on that account
The fervor reached a peak in Philadelphia, the day Vice President Kamala Harris named Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. Walz told an arena filled with thousands of excited supporters: “I got to tell you, I can’t wait to debate [Vance]. That is if — if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.”
Literally the most mildest midwest dad joke that waltzing Tim can make and these fucking lizards clutch at their pearls
As the crowd roared and Harris smirked behind him, Walz, who just weeks earlier started a trend of calling Republicans “weird,” quipped, “You see what I did there?”
The Republicans aren't the only fucking weirdos you absolute dorks
The Harris campaign's TikTok account, named Kamala HQ, posted a video of the moment that has been viewed over 5.3 million times.
Tik tok dance your way into the voting booth
Republicans online were quick to chastise Walz for referring to the false story. Jonathan Turley, a conservative legal scholar, attacked “the couch story” on X as having been “debunked repeatedly.”
YOU HAVE YOUR ENEMIES FUCKING WASTING PRECIOUS TIME AND ENERGY ON WHETHER OR NOT JACKASS VANCE IS A COUCH FUCKER AND NOT BUILDING PUBLIC AWARENESS OF THEIR POLITICAL POLICIES OR RUNNING THEIR OWN ATTACKS! THIS IS LITERALLY A FUCKING STRATEGIC WIN
“We are not even in the post-convention period and our leading candidates are already 'in the mud rolling around' with trolls,” he wrote.
I guess you dont like it when the shoe's on the other door, Johnny Turkey, legal scoffed extraordinare!
The content and rapid spread of the false rumor seems made for the social media age, when information that is real, false and sometimes a blend of both is presented and disseminated in similar ways — and when fact-checks often never have the same reach as the bad information.
Dawg you know nobody has historical literacy anymore. Yet again, Jackson vs Adams, coffin handbills section.
The incident has also caused rival political camps to argue over which pieces of false information are worse than others and the fuzzy line between what is harmful or just mockery.
BRING BACK DUELING
Walz wasn't the first to joke about the viral falsehood. On July 27, nearly two weeks after the original false tweet was posted and a week after it was hidden by the author, the Harris campaign account posted a screenshot on X of a 2021 tweet from Vance deriding "cat ladies."
The post was captioned "JD Vance does not couch his hatred for women."
Lol okay this sort of humors more up my alley, I'll admit.
On July 26, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee sent around a news release blasting Vance. The opening sentence read, "House Republicans are couching their public praise of Donald Trump’s vice presidential nominee with private criticism."
I'd normally make a "one joke" quip but I'm a fan of puns.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, who at the time was considered to be on the short list to be Harris' running mate, leaned into the joke twice in the following days.
On the July 28 episode of ABC News' "This Week," Pritzker condemned Trump, saying, "He talks about all kinds of crazy stuff," before adding, "You know, his running mate, as you probably have heard, is, you know, getting known for his obsession with couches."
Thank God this fucking prickzer didn't become the VP candidate because he has the humor of a fucking bag of rocks.
On the July 29 "White Dudes for Harris" Zoom fundraiser, Pritzker told attendees: "I’ll keep my remarks short. I know that we have a lot of speakers. And afterward, of course, there’s another Zoom that I invite you all to called 'Couches Against Trump.'"
metaphorical dead horses beaten so much they turn into ivermectin paste have a better sense of humor than this prick from Illinois.
After Walz's speech, some Democrats continued to embrace the joke.
One fucking joke
Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., quoted a tweet from Vance criticizing Harris for not taking questions from the media, with Moskowitz telling him: "I’ve been on Air Force 2 JD, there is a great couch on it."
At least Jared musky-twit has fragments of a humor bone to make the joke not as cringe as prickzer from earlier.
And at a rally in Las Vegas on Saturday, Rep. Dina Titus, who spoke before Walz and Harris, addressed Vance with the line, "You better hide behind that sofa, because we’re coming for you."
Tinnitus Dina better stick to letting people with senses of humor make the couch joke because Jesus christ that fucking sucks
Asked for a statement on Titus' comments, a spokesperson said, "I think we’ll just go with what’s on the tape."
Here's where a stick in the mud lib could make a "there's a pee tape?" Quip.
As the quips have gone mainstream, Republicans have blasted Democrats for helping spread the lie — even as Trump and his allies continue to share falsehoods about Harris and Walz.
You're blasting your own side with the hogs you shitlibs shut the fuck up
Democrats are defending their jokes as harmless fun, pointing to harmful past conspiracies spread by Trump and other Republicans about Democrats' running secret sex trafficking rings, being pedophiles or changing their identities for political purposes as far worse than a meme about a couch.
LET THE FUCKING POINDEXTERS HAVE THEIR FUN YOU FUCKING LIZARDS! it's their once ina lifetime opportunity to have fun in the sun so shut the fuck up
"For 2 years we had to hear that Joe Biden was an international super criminal mastermind from Despicable Me 3. You will listen to couch story," Moskowitz tweeted last week in response to Turley's complaints.
Holy shit you can make references to something other than fucking Harry Potter?
Also I'd take a criminal mastermind from a cartoon over the genocidal monster that is Joe Biden.
Representatives for the Trump and Harris campaigns, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Pritzker and Moskowitz did not return requests for comment.
"For 2 years we had to hear that Joe Biden was an international super criminal mastermind from Despicable Me 3. You will listen to couch story," Moskowitz tweeted last week in response to Turley's complaints.
Why Despicable Me 3? I’d forgive a reference to 4 since that’s the new one and this guy probably owns a couple of movie theaters, but aren’t all of these movies about international super criminals? Is this person just adding nonsense in a desperate [failed] attempt to create a Twitter banger?
[Probably Karl Rove in 2004] said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' [...] 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do'.
Trying to fight the hogs with facts and logic has been obsolete for at least two decades.
Electoral politics in lib countries is such a fucking joke lmao
Democrats continue to joke about false JD Vance rumor after years of criticizing Trump for spreading misinformation
tbh I've been laughing about this for weeks
I mean look call me a lib but I find it extremely depressing that electoral politics in this country is just a bunch of grown adults seeing who can most epicly own their competitors while life gets worse for the rest of us. What do I expect though, the policies of both candidates are to make life harder anyway, all these people have is playground insults.
I mean that's what it is. If they were to talk about policy and the material conditions around those policies, people would recognize the two parties are identical in their platforms. Dems know this, too. They do not actually support things like trans rights. If they did, they would pass laws protecting trans people. And it's not like Trump is going to bring it up because he's the one doing the dirty work of actually repealing existing protections.
So insults is all they do and it creates a lively circus of "slamming" the other side. Or whatever buzzwords.
"Major blow dealt" "Trashed" "Condemn" "Mud slinging" "Hit hard"
...it's always something in normal conversation would describe violence or serious action. But in political discourse by the media, it's language used to describe the most tepid rhetoric and no actual actions being taken.
tl;dr-- inventing reality/manufacturing consent.
Well that's what Vance is probably saying so he doesn't look completely bonkers
Fucking insufferable. Back in the good old days of American electioneering, we'd see presidents accusing each other of being cannibals or Tsarist pimps (Jackeon vs. Adams). Nowadays these absolute losers faint at the very thought of calling a fucking weirdo a fucking weirdo.
Dawg you know nobody has historical literacy anymore. Yet again, Jackson vs Adams, coffin handbills section.
BRING BACK DUELING
It's like when people say "I miss when politics wasn't so nasty." Motherfucker, a sitting vice president literally shot our first treasurer in the stomach.
