Tweet saying JD Vance fucks couches

So this seems to be the original now deleted post:

I don’t think there is any further origin beyond just “teenage boys do weird things for stimulation” and “JD Vance seems weird enough that some exaggerated story about him would stick.“

What the JD Vance couch jokes say about social media this election season Political jokes and rumors are going viral in a busy presidential campaign season, making it even harder to tell truth from falsehood.

Yeah: www.npr.org/2024/07/31/n...

Also looks like my original post was wrong. The first tweet was just a text summary. The fake book pages came later.

I think this is not quite true. I think what happened is they issued a fact check of it, and then retracted the fact check, and everyone joked that must mean it was true.

There is one original post where someone photoshopped what looked like a page from hillbilly elegy but the text was him telling the story of fucking a couch.

Friday night, so it’s Picture Fight! time in our house. I normally lose pretty badly, but this Teenage Grogu‘s First Starfighter turned out pretty good.

The answer was right there in front of us the whole time: "stop paying consultant and just talk to the people who are persuadable and live near you"

Not totally visible here, but the sidewalk is quite wide and perfectly accessible to, say, a human being in a wheelchair. But the robot is stuck in a staring contest with the fire hydrant.

Become unnavigable.

I was once a young, very Catholic man, so I know with absolute certainty that JD Vance has already picked out a Latin reign-name that he intends to use.

And I wouldn't be shocked it it was "Constantine".

My take: the current crop of MAGA anti-Trump media is the start of both the Russia- and tech-aligned subgroups of the coalition preparing for the transition to Vance.

There will be a moment that feels like a step forward because Trump is out, but will actually be the start of the real conflict.

Oh, you're offering to extend ACA subsidies?

That was my pre-election price.

Price just went up.

There, my friends, is an urban-suburban-rural, multiracial coalition.

No but damn I bet that place is fun tonight.

“Join Charlemagne the God and Ben Shapiro for an exclusive conversation about Election Day.”

There is nothing I want less, CNN.

I’m sitting at a progressive “election watch party for introverts” here in Atlanta and vibes are so good people are actually introducing themselves to each other.

A group of people stand in the middle of the street as a part of a local parade. Crowds gather on either side. The two people in front ride an inflatable unicorn and an inflatable peacock; they carry a banner that reads, “Indivisible ATL.” Behind them stands an inflatable angler fish, a boy riding shark, and a man in an inflatable swimming ring holding up a “Rohit for City Council President” sign. Rohit Malhotra, a thirty-something Indian American man with a beard, stands in the foreground and cheers with his right hand in the air. To his left stand two teens in costumes from The Princess Bride— a girl dressed as Inego Montoya and a boy dressed as Westley carrying a “No Kings”sign. Other marchers stand farther back.

Our marchers in the Little Five Points Parade got a surprise visit from Rohit Malhotra, Indivisible ATL’s choice Atlanta City Council President.

Polls open again Monday to vote @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social!

bsky.app/profile/asol... Strong game here at #Atlanta #NoKings.

Next up is Congressman @hankjohnson.house.gov, who represents much of Atlanta. He says Atlanta is “the city too busy to hate”. He invokes Dr King’s “Beloved Community” of the city’s residents and asks why our leaders aren’t interested in building it.

Now hearing from Play Fair ATL (www.playfairatl.com/about) about their work to make sure the World Cup games in Atlanta have equitable economic impact on the city.

At the #Atlanta #NoKings, @staceyabrams.com lays out ten steps to regain a pluralistic democracy and achieve democracy. Asks everyone to do more than vote and protest and gives specific requests.

This was the strongest speech and the loudest applause so far.

A crowd rallies in front of a stage where a speaker is talking.

Now @staceyabrams.com is addressing the crowd. She says this is now a fight against authoritarianism rather than over policy. She is listing the steps of autogolpe.

Photo of Senator Ralph Warnock speaking to a crowd at the No Kings rally, with a sign visible in front of him “Fuck ICE”.

The crowd asks him to and he says he supports Palestinian rights.

@warnock.senate.gov is addressing the Atlanta #NoKings crowd. He’s talking about Donald Trump as a fascist dictator, he is committing to not voting to reopen the government without extending ACA credits, and he is asking everyone to get involved outside of just protests and voting. Lets go.
