The worst part of this timeline is that I can't possibly know if this is real or not

JD Vance? I thought you said he was dead?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Naw I said he was sleeping with the fishes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

yes! you made my day.

It's starting to feel like bullying. Not that it doesn't feel deserved, but why is JD such a target? Does he just have such a punchable face?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He's a piece of shit who belongs to a fascist party and who might be the President of the United States when their Orange Turd in Chief gets flushed down the toilet.

Isn't that a good enough reason?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but that's true of most of the GoP but the best memes we ever got out of, say, McConnell were turtle references.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

You may have missed the others, then. I’m just a Canadian who keeps up with things and saw plenty of deserved jabs at MTG, Gaetz, Boebert, etc.. There will also just be less of a huge wave of these memes because they aren’t needed nearly as much as they are on the rught. We absolutely have them but you’ll generally see real articles using direct quotes that serve the purpose of making the (terrifying) joke for us.

Either way, that’s no reason not to do it now. This dude’s in a HUGE spotlight and is a MASSIVE piece of shit so I really don’t care if there’s precedent or not. Fuck that guy, he sucks mega big time.

Have you read any of his book? He constantly refers to rural people as dumb idiots who couldn't "get out" of their hometown because they were too lazy. Why he's the Republican candidate, I have no idea.

His whole book is about how successful people move to cities and dumb losers stay in rural areas.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I didn't know about the book, so thanks.

At a glance, its just another, "I made it, so can you" fairy tale written for political cred.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Now with extra condescendion and contempt!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ugh, I don't plan on reading the book anytime soon so no. But my point is mostly why aren't we making these jokes about all the other GOP assholes; most of them seem to have similarly terrible books.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Pick one and get something started! Be the change you want to see!

[–] [email protected] 52 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Had me in the first half.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Had me until the last 2 lines, lmao.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Porpoise pimp didn't do it for you?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Huh. Somehow I skipped over that one.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago

So it's basically The Deep for Veep.

Print photos of different dolphins and mail them to any or all of these locations:

Don’t forget to add little love notes. e.g., “Thinking of you 💋”

Whut?

What the hell did I miss‽

[–] [email protected] 36 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Stuff and nonsense, as usual

I hope Trump keeps him through election day. I don't think there's been a bigger buffoon VP candidate since Quayle.

Palin

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

The maverick? Haha, so hard to choose...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

The joke

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago

Vance likely deviated from the tour to make love to his dolphin girlfriend (boyfriend?) and plot an escape, The Deep style. I just hope those star-crossed lovers’ journey doesn’t end in a similar tragedy.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago

Beautiful. 🤌
