cat ladies rise up

Pussy hats are back, dawg

Couch fucker and dolphin lover JD Vance sure is creepy and weird.

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.

I’ll repeat, there is no evidence to believe JD Vance had sex with a couch.

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

You can’t really prove a negative

Though you can within a timeframe, right?

That's why he can say he never fucked a couch in the last five years

of course he'd hang with dolphins. They're rapey bastards.

Oh no, I haven't heard about the dolphin yet. This man is getting ripped to shreds.

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

And then the show worked it into the script. Wooha mofos.

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.

Of course, I guess the intent was that she was supposed to marry whoever got her pregnant

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

an emmy-nominated episode, at that. (for directing, peter bonerz)

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.

JD Vance’s 4chan tripcode will be discovered one day, and we’ll find out exactly how far down the rabbit hole goes.

Feels like the type to have joined after moot left.

Speaking of, what's Poole doing these days?

Worked for google for a few years, then left. There's nothing about what he's been up to since 2021, so maybe retired or changed careers and wants to be private.

The dude literally said Harris opposed one of the major achievements of the Biden-Harris administration, the child tax credit. They will lie about literally fucking anything

You literally cannot be a peasant voting Repub without turning off your brain. The lies are so obvious.

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.

Lmao, I might be a childless cat lady, but at least I'm not a miserable bigot with an insatiable lust for upholstered furniture.

Don't forget eye makeup.

Yeah whats the deal with that? Are republiQans just going all in on the trump aesthetic? Thick makeup, wigs, false teeth, lifts, girdles?

Keep going, Vance. Pissing off America's women worked out really well for Dan Quayle.

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.

What about childless cat men?

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!

I see he's working overtime to convince Daddy not to drop him.

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.

I really hope they keep this up. Harris has really mindfucked these idiots.

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).

I don't know what to do with this information but 'couches' is diapers in French.

🤷🏻

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.

This feels misleading.

Vance made it clear, said Aaron Fritschner, deputy chief of staff for Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.), "that he meant no disrespect to cats, but he did mean to demean women and still holds the view in 2024 that they should be punished for not having children."

So the actual quote here is from a chief of staff of a Democratic representative, not from dolphin-loving couch-loving JD Vance. So it’s an accusation that interprets for us. And the tweet the article cites heavily edits the text it quotes:

"Obviously it was a sarcastic comment. I’ve got nothing against cats. ... People are focusing so much on the sarcasm and not on the substance … and the substance of what I said, Megyn — I’m sorry, it is true."

Heres a video of the clip without the editing: https://therecount.com/watch/obviously-it-was-a-sarcastic/2645895762

Ok, so the edits here at least aren’t misleading..

Then based on the 9 minute clip of her show in the original article, it seems like he’s claiming the substance is not about the cat lady comment, but some lies about what Democrats believe about families (democrats think kids are for the economy, republicans want to make it easier for women to stay in the workforce (I mean, is there a more blatant lie than that? They’re the ones who fight against extending COVID-era childcare credits!), etc). That’s what says he’s doubling down on. And given the context that does truly seem to be the lies he’s doubling down on.

Let’s try to stick to sincere, defensible attacks against people for whom there are many valid attacks, and not spread misleading claims that JD is doubling down on “crazy cat ladies”. He’s shit and we can demonstrate that in good faith, or we can lie like he does.

Right. Saying JD Vance is a couch lover may be an out right lie. It's more important that we state what we know; we cannot prove he never had sex with a couch.

I just think it's funny that JD Vance knows better than to anger the cats.

What a sh*t title. He did not double down on the attack. He regretted getting cat-keeping involved in his bigoted view on women with no children

Maybe we should get a betting pool going as to who is the least charismatic Republican ghoul. Vance seems to have a good chance to overshoot Ted Cruz, seeing as Cruz at least managed to convince somebody to marry him at some point, and have sex enough to produce offspring.

seeing as Cruz at least managed to convince somebody to marry him at some point, and have sex enough to produce offspring

This assumes that conservative Christian women actually want to be married to men like this.

It's either a lifetime of brainwashing to be subservient to your piece of shit husband, or it's all about wealth and nothing else.

Regarding the plan to give parents more voting power by assigning them an extra vote for each of their children, which parent gets to cast those extra votes? If I have three kids, do I get to cast four votes, or do they get split between me and my wife? Somehow I doubt he is suggesting that mothers get all this extra voting power, right? I’m sure the couch fucker believes that it’s a husband’s duty to officiate these extra votes for his family. Actually, I’m sure he thinks a husband should preside over his wife’s vote as well.

I wonder whether that demo swings right or left?

Feels hard to stereotype properly.

I think it would lean more left, seeing as they are, childless (so probably favor birthcontrol, pro-choice) and ladies.

This chucklefuck wants to give me more voting power for creampieing (creamping?) my wife? Sure, I'll vote even harder against this idiot.
