The AP was correct to pull the article. Nobody can definitively say “J.D. Vance did not have sex with a couch” just that “J.D. Vance did not write about having sex with a couch in his memoir, ‘Hillbilly Elegy’.”

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

We don’t even know he didn’t write about it. All we can definitively say is that the story about J.D. Vance fucking a couch did not appear in the published edition of Hillbilly Elegy.

Did he fuck a couch? Did he write about fucking a couch? Only Vance can tell us for sure and he’s probably too busy fucking a couch.

todd_bonzalez ,

My mother read the book, and tells me that the couch fucking part is absolutely in there.

She also said he’s a bad writer and his book is mostly fiction, so the couch fucking is probably as true as him being from Appalachia.

Not to kink shame you, Jesse, but maybe keep what titillates you to yourself.

Anyway, by now there’s bound to be porn with a Vance lookalike fucking a couch, so you’ll get what you need for the most part.

Such a video is the job AI was created to do.

Maybe not the Hero we want, but the Hero we deserve.

Yeah no.

No yeah.

Why do people care?

How did we come to the culture where personal life of politicians outside their direct political convictions matters?

Not only is it a manipulation that has no relation to somebody’s political performance, it also makes opposition dependent on criticizing a person - something that recently fucked up Republicans themselves as Biden stepped down.

todd_bonzalez ,

Why do people care?

Because the right is constantly being self-righteous while attacking people for being queer. If those same puritan-minded people who want to criminalize LGBTQ+ people also fuck couches for fun, everyone deserves to know about it. They don’t stay out of our personal lives, why the fuck should I afford them any privacy? They don’t respect our humanity, why should I respect their dignity just because couch-fucking is victimless?

They’re the party of “family values”, let’s put their party position under the microscope.

it also makes opposition dependent on criticizing a person - something that recently fucked up Republicans themselves as Biden stepped down.

The mistake Republicans made wasn’t in standing against Biden, it was in failing to stand for anything else. If J.D. Vance drops out of the election, I am not going to be out of political ammunition. In fact, J.D. Vance should and probably will drop out and I’m not worried about if he does, because Trump isn’t going to choose a good running mate no matter what.

In fact, changing the running mate after the RNC destroys their argument that it is somehow improper for Democrats to change their nominee before the DNC, so while they play checkers, we’re playing chess.

Etterra ,

That sure is a weird-ass thing to ask for.

I’ve had it up to here with people saying JD Vance had sex with a couch. How many times do I have to say there’s no evidence JD Vance had sex with a couch before people stop saying JD Vance had sex with a couch? Liberals must be pretty desperate to make up that JD Vance had sex with a couch. The story that on March 17, 2011 JD Vance was banned from a Cleveland area IKEA after so thoroughly deflowering a KIVIK Sofa Chaise that it had to be removed as a biohazard due to the various fluids in and around it, causing the night manager to not only quit but need intensive therapy is beyond the pale. Who would believe this? There is sworn. court. testimony. that JD Vance has not made bare skin contact with a couch within the past 5 years. That’s a fact. Look it up. The idea that this is because JD Vance cannot contain his overwhelming sexual urges in the presence of soft furniture is reckless conjecture. Calling JD Vance a couchfucker is slander and you need to take it back.

The Left™ will do anything to avoid talking about the real issues in this campaign, like the fact that Kamala Harris laughs sometimes.

iamjackflack ,

It’s funny you say that. However it’s a Fox News person that’s asking for this.

cogman ,

Harris also has the skull shape of a Marxist! And the fact that she’s a girl will make all the other manly nations call us Sissies!

schnurrito ,

You know, until recently I thought that the golden days of Internet activism were over and we were mostly living in times where it was ridiculously easy to get things censored on the Internet.

Then something as stupid as this gets this amount of attention because of Internet users having way too much time and energy to spread it. WTF

androogee ,

Oh fuck yeah spread it

schnurrito ,

Are there no actually serious issues in the world that it is worth spreading information about? I think there are.

cheddar ,
@cheddar@programming.dev avatar

There is no problem with the lack of information though. It’s the opposite, the internet is oversaturated.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

More serious issues than a fascist trying to take over one of the world’s most powerful nations? Not really. If saying his VP candidate fucks couches is bothering them this much, please keep spreading that information.

androogee ,

Shit I forgot that we’re only allowed to talk about one thing at a time, and if someone makes a joke then all the other information dies.

ours ,

Spread it like JD Vance’s couch cushions.

@cheddar@programming.dev avatar

I think that only proves your thoughts. This thing blew up uncontrollably. Now try repeating this with some truly important point.

Why are they not releasing the couch sex tape? What are they hiding? Was there a loveseat involved?

disguy_ovahea ,

It was a…convertible sofa.😱

I like the idea of this bot but could you make the text a bit smaller? It’s pretty obnoxious ATM.

This is what I see:

Maybe the summary tags aren’t working on your app? But I guess the “Thanks to…” section could be moved to the footer, too.

Mlem shows the full thing with giant header text. https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/8f13b167-5af9-4236-9ab1-875577b7de71.png

GregorGizeh ,

Does mlem show other formatting like strikethrough or ^superscript^ ?

catloaf ,

Most app clients don’t fully support formatting yet. I’m on Boost and neither spoilers nor superscript work.

I don’t know the numbers on each app vs web clients, but I suspect apps are a significant portion. Ignoring their limitations is ignoring a good portion of your users.

It is particularly obnoxious on Sync for Lemmy…

It seems to be you should contact the app’s developer since the problem is with the app.

Viking_Hippie ,

What is it with conservative hosts demanding porn?

First there was Rush Limbaugh pretending not to know what birth control is and now this.

Probably plenty of other examples in the meantime, but that’s the especially heinous one that immediately came to mind.

Gradually_Adjusting ,
@Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world avatar

They want to see the couch’s outfit for themselves, of course. Perhaps it was asking for it.

No wonder JD wants to make porn illegal. I’m almost with him if it means me not getting Rickrolled with a gif of him fucking a loveseat

“It’s not a loveseat, okay?! It’s a couch! I don’t fuck loveseats!” - Vance, probably?

@sarcasticsunrise@lemmy.world avatar

“It’s called making love when it’s a loveseat! It’s in the name!!! Also, ban porn NOW!”

Hi!👋 me again, don’t forget to:

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

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!
