Really loving the "Just enough to be deniable" couch attacks on Vance.

[-] cybervseas@lemmy.world 77 points 2 months ago

As Stephen Colbert gleefully said of the couch story last week, "It's not true, and nobody cares."

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

The best part is that it really is kind of thing he might be into. It means that any attempt to deny it either makes him look much worse, or much more guilty.

[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 14 points 2 months ago

Do you think anyone out there is trying it, American Pie-like? With a greasy rubber glove stuck to their junk?

Because that would be pretty great, too.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

Horny teenagers probably did it within minutes.

Hell.

Vance probably tried it after a day or two. Probably the first time he hasn’t had any complaints after.

"You know what? I can't believe some lib thought of this first, because this is great."

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

I loved Seth Meyers' first joke about it when he came back off break (which is when Trump picked Vance):

"It's NOT TRUE that JD Vance had sex with a couch. It is JUST A RUMOR!"

...

...

"It was just hand stuff."

[-] Tja@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

However a lot of people are saying. Strong people, tough people. And they are saying very strongly. Lots of people. I don't know, but a lot of people are saying it.

[-] CeruleanRuin 1 points 2 months ago

The best thing about it is that nobody actually believes it's a real story. But it's a great joke, because it just fits him so well. And the joke isn't just that he would romance a loveseat, but that he might write about it without an ounce of self-awareness. The dude is not just awkward as fuck, but in a sinister sort of way. You could easily believe that if you left him alone with your own sofa, he might do unspeakable things.

I dunno man, I believe it's true.

A couch is too risky. A love seat is right the fuck out. Maybe a recliner or kitchen chair is safe.

[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 23 points 2 months ago

A fucking recliner? To reduce risk? You want to stick your dick into this thing? That's a hard pass from me, friend.

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Yeah, but there's this thing...

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Oh, you mean the handle for the penis guillotine? Or are you thinking someone is going to... back onto it? 😳 I guess that could work.

[-] Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Is he into extreme sounding?

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I think they’re saying recliners were safe from Vance.

I think they’re underestimating his stupid

[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

That makes way more sense. I should not comment in the middle of the night when I'm half awake.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 6 points 2 months ago

No, not a fucking recliner, a fucking recliner.

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 3 points 2 months ago

oh sweety. thats not where you stick it at all.

[-] CeruleanRuin 2 points 2 months ago

Not where you stick it.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

YOU LEAVE MY RECLINER ALONE!!!

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago
[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Well, alright. Just checkin'

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

and I'm checkin out the rest of your living room set.

[-] kamenoko@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

La-z-boy recliners are ambush predators, I hope one manages to get him.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

He doesn't want love from his fuck toys. Just cushioning.

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

More cushioning for the pushioning

[-] BertramDitore@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

There was at least one “JD Vance did not have sex with a couch” headline that had to be changed, because how could anyone possibly know whether or not someone has fucked a couch? Journalistic integrity dictates that you only make statements like that if they can be backed up by facts. I could be fucking my couch right now and no one would ever know.

[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 6 points 2 months ago

OF link? I'm asking for my friend, JD uh.... Pants?

[-] BertramDitore@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago
[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 6 points 2 months ago

I was trying to make a funny.

You had said:

I could be fucking my couch right now and no one would ever know.

To which I asked for an OnlyFans link so my buddy JD Pants could watch. But apparently I laid it on a little thick and obscured the joke. Everything always makes more sense in our own minds.

[-] BertramDitore@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Ahahahaha now I feel dumb. I didn’t translate OF to OnlyFans, I just assumed it was some new-fangled internet slang used by the youngsters.

[-] CeruleanRuin 4 points 2 months ago

I snorted my beer at that line. It was extra hilarious coming from someone so typically buttoned up and above the fray like Senator Warren. Gods I do like that woman.

[-] tetranomos@awful.systems 4 points 2 months ago

elizabeth warren lampoons trump and vance

[-] leftzero@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 months ago

Wise. One would steal and sell it, the other would fuck it.
