JD's mom was masterbating on her favorite couch, not realizing that JD's dad had recently done the same.. and thus she become pregnant with JD despite the sexless loveless marriage. Nobody told JD about it, but he was always drawn to the place of origin like a salmon.

Quick, someone make a website on par with https://brettkavanaugh.beer

Which is sadly a 404 right now :(

But that link from the internet archives is only from a couple months ago. Hopefully it's not a permanent 404.

‘Worst Vice Presidential Pick of My Lifetime’

So… that guy is famous enough to have a Wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_Dodson

Which I just found because you reminded me that he existed

CNN’s Bakari Sellers responded by saying, “I think that J.D. Vance is kind of the Sarah Palin of Dan Quayles.”

Hmm, that’s going to cause someone to need some aloe

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

To help others.

On Quayle:

Press coverage of the convention was dominated by questions about "the three Quayle problems".[23] The questions involved his military service, a golf holiday in Florida where he and several other politicians shared a house with lobbyist Paula Parkinson,[24][12] and whether he had enough experience to be vice president. Quayle seemed at times rattled and at other times uncertain or evasive as he responded to questions. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Quayle

And then:

John McCain probably lost whatever chance he had to become president on August 28, the day he invited Sarah Palin to be his running mate. https://origins.osu.edu/history-news/why-sarah-palin-gamble-didn-t-pay

Thus, the burn.

Edit: JD Vance probably had to look this up, too.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Holy shitballs, that scalding is gonna require debridement and skin grafts.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That burn is so sick I need a thesaurus to understand the damage.

Hi!👋 me again, don’t forget to:

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

https://www.vance.senate.gov/office-locations/

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

And, remember kids, drink your Ovaltine!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The couches I understand, but what is the porpoise of the dolphins?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Dude I’ll keep it a stack with you. When I first saw you I thought you were an amusing bot. However seeing your message evolve over time, and the consistency with which you keep it up, I’m only left with a profound respect for the sheer effort involved if nothing else.

Who knew that Americans were so protective of their childless cat lady community. I feel so loved!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

Aren't you busy running the country?

Us Catmen feel left out in the cold

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Just the cats. The lady kinda gets a free pass.

Well not really free.

There is a cat tax.

Some of the nicest people I’ve ever met honestly and usually very intelligent.

[–] [email protected] 71 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Not to mention our living room furniture

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago

We should probably leave the damn dolphins alone as well.
