J.D. Vance says he gets bad press because most journalists are “childless adults”
The GOP veep candidate has a thing about people who are not parents.
Most of us are childless adults because of republican policies.
Every time a new story about Vance comes out, I become more and more certain that Trump regrets choosing him.
Vance can go fuck himself. And a couch. And a dolphin. And whatever else he gets off on. What a douchbag.
When he’s not fucking furniture, I guess.
All this thread gave me is the question:
What the fuck did I miss that JD Vance is now meme'd as a couch fucker?
An Internet User made up that he wrote in his book that he put a latex glove between couch cussions and fucked it. The Internet spread it fast.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/jd-vance-couch-cushions/
And then this happened: https://knowyourmeme.com/news/ap-retracts-its-jd-vance-couch-cushion-story-fact-check-leading-some-to-jokingly-conclude-the-lewd-tale-must-be-true
And this:
Vance made a statement clearly saying he has never had sexual relations with a couch ‘to completion’.
This qualifier means, to me, that he did indeed do the thing.
The wealthy want more people in the world so that they can pay employees less. More people, more competition for jobs. Also, more consumption, more sales.
Infinite growth requires an increase in one of two things - workers in the pool, or wages.
Corporate sees one option.
I've been saying this for a while now that this anger and resentment over childfree people has become increasingly pervasive and dangerous and it really feels like we are going to be one of the first against the wall.
Even among otherwise reasonable people I know there is a shocking amount of resentment towards people who choose to live their lives for something besides children.
I haven't really seen that honestly, it's pretty much a non-event. I have a kid, some of my circle don't plan on it. No one really cares.
I've seen childfree people on the internet complaining about people with kids plenty enough, but I always assumed they were a vocal minority.
The only time I've ever seen this topic as an actual point of contention in real life is people who insist on no kids at weddings. Which I do think is kind of a dick move, but also people's preogerative.
Or maybe the wedding they want to make wouldn't be appropriate for kids?
I've seen kids at weddings. Hell, I've been a kid at weddings. It was generally a bad experience for everyone.
Bored. Hungry. Thirsty. Where's the toilet? I wanna play over there. Not allowed to touch this and that. Don't run around. Don't yell. Stop doing rude things. Don't cry. Barf. Sleepy. Who gave them alcohol? I wanna go home! Stop crying. Etc and so on.
Kids and weddings rarely mix well, often making it a burdensome experience for everyone, mostly for the kids.
Even if that's true, being able to navigate the media environment is a job requirement for politicians.
He sucks so bad at this.
Obsession with childless adults? Hmm, I think I know which major Republican donor recommended him to Trump...
Someone who actually cared about his own children wouldn't be capable of saying this shit with so much confidence because they'd capable of seeing other adults and kids as "their own" too, a kind of empathy you can kinda only develop by being a parent.
The fact he uses them more like status quo trophies shows a really disgusting and inhumane side of him. He probably only had children to accomodate a social quota, not because he actually loves them. He doesn't value human life as human, but more like a transaction, a holy duty or even monetary. It's just gross and hard to explain how it feels to hear this dumb motherfucker
Some folks may need to become a parent to develop this form of empathy, but it isn’t by any means required. A ton of the childfree folks I’ve met are extremely empathetic and forward about wanting to better things.
Vance probably wanted a couch for a wife over a person, but had to settle /shitpost
I'm a childless adult. I'm such a terrible person. I worship the devil and I kill people. What are you gonna do about it? My cats are literally tiny Satans.
Actually, they fucking rock. Best kitties in the world.
Fellow childless adult here. Partner and I want kids, but we can't bear to bring a person into this world where the climate is fucked, reaganomics has ruined the middle class, and restrictive reproductive healthcare laws make pregnancy a huge risk.
JD Vance wants to bitch about childless adults, but he and his ilk are causing us to abstain from having kids.
This couch fucker needs to resign.
No no, he needs to stay in. He needs to keep saying this shit and driving everyone away from voting Trump. Since JD Vance is a narcissistic, power hungry couch fucker, he won't leave Trump's campaign willingly which is exactly what we need.
He's really proud that he found a woman who will let him raw dog
Vance faced an onslaught of bad press, as many commentators—including Harris’ step-daughter, Taylor Swift fans, Democratic officials, actor Jennifer Aniston, and several conservative women pundits—decried his comment.
My reading comprehension must be pretty bad because for a second it sounded like Taylor Swift was Kamala Harris' step daughter.
That is pretty funny, actually. It's such an old-timey insult. He is basically calling them spinsters. I can't imagine this will catch on.
What is wrong with the MAGA goobers? Is this really the hill they want to die on?
They want Gileon
Wow, he really wants to go with the "childless" thing, huh? Should go over swimmingly with Millenials and Gen Z that can't afford to have children anymore.
Why on Earth does he think this is a good strategy?
What a neckbeard
If that's actually true, maybe don't attack the people who will be reporting on what you say?
I'm not an expert in PR training, but this seems like it would be pretty early in the lessons.
Living in sin.... No attachments, just these journalists and their sexy spouses - their Lazy Boys and their Ashleys.
“Why do these sexy couches keep seducing me??” - Jumbo Douche Vance
And since it's republicans, we haven't even acknowledged that these are all underaged couches, still well within their warranties with a lot of life and promise ahead of them... That is until old "Just Do (it with couches) Vance shows up...
Unlike him and his wife, Couchela.
I interpret this as "he wants even more bad press, this time from pissed-off journalists".
Hell yeah JD!!! That's my boy! Keep giving us this motivational locker room talk, you're the gift that keeps on giving! Keep cooking (yourself) King. You're kinda mainlining the LGBTQ stuff to the point that it's stale, maybe alienate some minorities next go round, that'd be SICK
You know what else is childless? All the couches he's been humping. What a hypocrite. Sheesh.
I dunno, I've seen some chairs and loveseats that look too much like their couches to be a coincidence. We might need to get Maury involved here.
With all his focus of who does and doesn’t have kids, I feel like there’s a good “precious bodily fluids” joke to be made here.
🎶 every sperm is sacred, every sperm is good. Every sperm is needed, in your neighborhood. 🎶
I hear he left a lot of precious bodily fluids in his couch.
He's really just got that one "accomplishment" he's proud of, huh?
This guy is hilarious! He's gonna drop a solid gaffe bomb soon enough and Drumph won't know what to do.
I'm trying to imagine what would even register as a gaffe at this point, discernable from the cosmic background dumpster-fire of Trump's campaign
Also Appalachians are rising up to shit in his face
He may get dropped, I think.
We're in move, counter-move territory after Biden dropped out and everything coalesced behind Harris.
If the world didn't have so many J.D. Vances in it, I would reconsider having children.
Maybe tax the rich, so normal people can afford children.
Print photos of different couches and mail them to any or all of these locations:

Don’t forget to add little love notes. e.g., “Thinking of you 💋”
Okay I’m super out of the loop, where did the couchfucker thing come from?
There was a Twitter post claiming he wrote in his book that he fucked couch cushions as a younger lad. It is (as far as we know) not true, however it caught like wildfire and is now a certified dank meme
And that right there is some fascism talking points.
The Bronze Age belief system makes these guys really fucking weird.
This isn’t even bronze age bruh some primitive societies had women who specialised into certain tasks not have children for various reasons. Or even for paganist (religious) reasons.
it's not a random thing to demonize people for the simple choice to not have kids. corporate greedlords have been shitting their pants over the declining birthrate because less kids means less money for them. no matter who's paying to raise a kid--parents or taxpayers--that money isn't spent on kids that don't exist, and every industry suffers for it: food, medical, gas, clothing--everything
so if you already felt bad about not having kids, the goal is to make you hate yourself even more, and make having kids an even higher priority in your life. it seems like it should be about more than money, but for republicans it's absolutely not.

Imma need a source on that one. But yeah, a shrinking tax base and aging population is bad mojo.
i don't know about "scientific" studies about coporate panic, but there's plenty of ink spilt

But with stable or falling populations, economic stagnation, such as that which afflicted Japan for a decade, limits opportunities to profit. And establishment think tanks worry about how to fund Social Security without taxing the rich.
LOL

they use words like crisis, panic, catastrophe, etc. -- it's all to scare people into thinking the world is going to implode unless everyone starts furiously having babies. the world isn't going to implode from fewer babies. profits will go down. that's it.
edit: also-- "shrinking tax base"--fuck that. tax the fucking rich
This really smacks of "bloodlines."
Oh, the poor little fascist doesn't like being shat on like he rightly deserves. ROFL, he should go back to couch-san for some more one on one time.
Large part of the electorate. Maybe that should matter to him.
The only people against circular reasoning are those it doesn't work for.
nottheonion material
Yeah, THAT'S THE REASON
