Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Ok, what should we talk about instead? Epstein's lists? Project 2025? Whether "I own the place" is a good reason to waltz in to a room that was supposed to give young girls privacy for changing? How much one should expect to pay to silence a porn star? Why regular Trump supporters should think he gives a single fuck about them when so many of the ones he selected to be a part of his administration ended up in prison when he could have pardoned them? Why he keeps bragging about passing a test that included tough questions like "identify this common object" and "what is your name?"? Whether he thinks his secret service agents gave the shooter some free shots deliberately because they secretly can't stand him either and intend to push the idea of reasonable doubt as far as Trump himself does?
If they're trying to sweep this under the rug, I do not wanna know what JD Vance did to that rug...
WHY ARE YOU DODGING THE QUESTION?
Weird strategy this is the kind of thing you really want to get a head into er ahead of.
Denial, can we ask Matt Gaetz which stage of grief this is?
The best part is everyone except the right wing idiots knows it's just a joke, but they are getting so upset over it.
The pig fucker strategy happened by accident for the Democrats. Thanks goodness for the tik tokr that started that. When Walz cracked that joke in his first speech as VP candidate it clearly upset Vance.
QUICK! Don't think of a couch!
Streisand'd the narrative wonderfully
Sounds like it just did
They could have memed it to hell and back with stuff like "I did not have a sexual relationship with that furniture mr. Clinton" or "only inanimate thing im horny for is democracy" but they had to go full serious damage control mode. Like, if they told us there are no aliens invading and put soldiers in the streets we would look out for ufos. What did they think they were going to gain by that kind of response? Completely detached from the ether, they are.
From the article:
That's spurred criticism from the right that — even if the meme is tongue-in-cheek — Democrats are spreading baseless lies about one of their political opponents.
Because the Republicans would never stoop to such a low!
What happens in the couch, stays in the couch. But hey, loveseats got that name for a reason.
JD Vance’s local furniture store got that standing order for quarterly couch delivery for the very same reason!
Don't worry, we'll talk about it for you
Wow. Their silence on couches is deafening. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO HIDE?!
well it ottoman!
It's nobody's business but the Turks
Who came up person man?
The Little Birdhouse in my soul
It's an older code but it checks out.
A lot of people are talking about couches and other sexy furniture.
They don't kiss and tell! /wink
Yeah, I don't blame them. You don't want Vance to lose his concentration and start fantasizing about couches.
Hmm curious why would Trump campaign hide this info from the voters?? Did Vance really fuck the couches and the internet just guessed right????
i think he's statistically likely to have fucked a couch and is panicked that someone found out somehow
He wrote about it in his own book. With his own words. I'm down with whatever you wanna do man, but you wrote about on a book and then try to hide it? I'm gonna laugh at you
He didn't. Somebody lied and claimed he did. That's where this whole thing started. It has no basis in actual reality.
It's true, it's on pages 179-81
How would you know? Is not like anybody's actually read that book.
Especially coming from the party of "we want to control every aspect of your private life". They want to judge people's sex life? Well, we're going to make fun of theirs.
Otherwise what happens between a man and his couch would otherwise be none of my business (unless I'm offered to sit on said couch, then I would really like to some warning).
Technically, they’re talking about it!
