Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I think Vance's problem is that he has no defense for anyone's claims. You can claim ANYTHING about Vance, true or not, and people are like, "Yeah, I see it."

My mom had JD Vance as a student in Ohio. He kept 3 of his pet frogs in his underwear during the day and no one knew why.

See?

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 60 points 1 year ago (1 children)

AP can't prove he didn't keep pet frogs in his underwear.

[–] DScratch@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And they were unable to find the frogs for comment.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

They probably croaked at this point.

[–] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Have they checked in the couch?

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 56 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

His own party made racist jokes about his wife being Indian and this guy is like, "Yeah she's not white."

Wtf.

I would have taken any other answer, even the Will Smith slap. Jeez this fucking guy.

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 35 points 1 year ago

I think Vance’s problem is he’s super weird

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where'd he keep the rest of them?

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In the couch to keep them moist.

I ate the onion on that statement, good on ya

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That makes total sense. I just hope he took them out when he had carnal relations with the settee.

[–] don@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

No, he wanted to be able to claim he’d been in “orgies”.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How many pet frogs did he had?

[–] modus@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Normal amount.

[–] don@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Well, enough to keep three in his underwear.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I heard they were tadpoles but came out frogs. So they were in there for a while.

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

I heard he liked the extra couch friction gained from the frog warts.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Just look at the guy y'know

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Technically, ladies underwear, but I don't judge.

[–] Minarble@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

James David (formerly ~~Duncan~~ Donald) Vance requests that he be referred to as JD. Makes fun of woman requesting to be referred to as "she."

That's weird.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 40 points 1 year ago

Hey, have some respect - the female anatomy terrifies him so much that he can't even stand to think about a period every time he looks at his own name.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 64 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well, so far there are already unsettling rumors about his sexual attraction towards couch cushions and dolphins... That is pretty weird

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

The singed monkey nuts stuff was above board, tho'.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Maybe he's the one that was inviting Cawthorne to all those orgies.

Lmao even Devin Nunes’ Cow got in on the trolling 😂

[–] N0body@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Guy running for VP: "JD Vance may have sex with couches, dolphins, and even more disturbing things the electorate will learn about soon enough, but JD Vance will be damned if JD Vance ever uses the devil's pronouns."

I want em to be roasted but it's a bit lame to see weirdness alone being condemned.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I agree that being weird isn't a bad thing, but to someone with a complex like "Couch Fucker ~~JD~~ KY Jelly Vance" calling him weird is like poison. I'd like to think most of us that have weird tendencies or are socially nontypical can see the difference between weird and weird. Vance is weird.

[–] LovingHippieCat@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Fuck Chris Cuomo in this clip, dudes reaction to a simple thing of Harris stating her pronouns are she/her at a town hall responds by saying "Mine too"

What a piece of shit. But hey, at least we know how to refer to Chris now, she's "so brave."

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago

The "No weird, no weird, you're the weird" defense isn't going to work this time.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

JD Vance may be the absolute best running mate Trump could have chosen.
I Applaud Trump's courage on this decision!

/s

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I think we are going to have to swap out the famous phrase "keep fucking that chicken" with "keep fucking that couch", at least when it comes to JD.

Ernie Anastos... That's an 81 year old I'd vote for.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Good. He should be.
