I’m late to the couch thing, but wasn’t it debunked? Not sure teasing him about it if it didn’t actually happen is productive.
They've shown they don't care about the truth, so if falsehoods come end up biting them I'm not exactly sympathetic
No. Personally I'm okay with it. I have to spend time out of my day to debunk all of the conservative lies and propaganda (all of their lies and propaganda are little more than fairy tales to keep the oligarchy going.)the least we can do is make them do the same. So no JD didn't literally fuck a couch... It was a futon. But JD could never admit to sleeping with something "trans" so he's obviously lying.
If only he offered the same respect to others
Eh - I get the urge, but the answer isn’t to be more like him though. There’s plenty of legitimate stuff to attack him on, I think.
I agree.
I think it wasn't supposed to be taken seriously to begin with. But, you know, internet.

The thing that got me was A it was super easy to confirm or debunk with the claim citing the book and page numbers, but B there was no way I was going to buy his book so I just had to find a source online I could trust 😱 (snopes is a good one)
