This whole couch thing never ceases to produce new pieces of art:

  Art as it was intended

  Is this the fabled Gen Alpha humor I have heard so much about?
  
  2
- ...a faction of the internet believing Vance actually had sectional relations...
  
  Look ma, I'm part of a faction!

You mean to tell me that Republicans are upset about a false story about someone they like?

Tell me more about Obama's birth certificate.

61
- Is it false though? I don't think you can prove that.

  Release the long-form LaZBoy receipt!

- Or the amusing assertion that Michelle was a guy.
  
  People actually spent time photoshopping and uploading crotch bulges on the First Lady. Wild...

  They STILL go on about this. Just saw some chud that's an associate (not a friend) of the family talking about "Michael". I swear most of them have a thing for trans and that's what the obsession really boils down to...

Facts have never been a problem for Republicans so J.D. Vance is a couch fucker regardless of what any fact checking says.

- Folks could show up to rallies with a couch cushion bungee corded to their crotch just like the ear bandage thing.

- Now I'm not saying JD is a couchfucker, it's just really concerning that he HASN'T come forward to prove to us that he has fucked no couches.

Let’s not spread the rumor that JD Vance raped and killed a couch in 1990

35
- And then tried to pin the murder on the Zodiac Killer, Ted Cruz.

sectional relations

Phenomenal

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

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

29
- Makes me wish Lovesac sent out mailers instead of infinite emails.

I mean, I'm not aware that JD Vance has denied having sex with a couch.

28
So a guy on twitter made up a story about Vance admitting to fucking a couch in Hillbilly Elegy, which is verifiably false.

AP posts an article which says as much, but it's titled 'No, JDVance did not have sex with a couch', which is a slightly different claim. Since they can't affirmatively prove that Vance hasn't ever fucked a couch, they took the article down.

And people took that and ran with it.

23
- It's funny and he can't prove otherwise. I'm OK with it. It's a stupid bullshit meme that doesn't mean anything, but that's fine.

We're still in the worst timeline, but at least it's occasionally hilarious.

Couch fucker.

This meme with Donald Trump’s VP candidate has gotten out of hand.

Well if a couch was involved then it would be out of hand. I'll believe* him when he comes out publicly with a statement saying that he have never had sex with a couch.

as much as I would believe what any republican has said over the last 8 years

- He would never go sofar as to publicly refute such an allegation. That might make his base question his sectionality, or up holster and figuratively shoot up his burgeoning political career.

- Man, how long until the gloves cum off?

  I think it depends on the couch. Some couches you'd want to leave the glove on, safety first.

This is all just fucking stupid.

- It’s pretty great judo. The hard right spews neverending bullshit as a weapon to erode the concept of truth and it’s ineffective to try to debunk or fact-check that noise. Ridicule lands well against fascism though.
  
  23
- I would say being blatantly racist is stupid. This is just funny.
  
  7
- It’s pretty fucking funny if you ask me

I heard he fucked it raw, no glove. Probably gave it Syphilis.

JD Vance most definitely did not fuck a couch.

The couch fucked HIM

I recently saw a meme of JD Vance and a couch.

8
- He likes the big black couch the most.
  
  There’s always a camera, and they’re so nice to him there.

So listen I know this is disproven like Biden sniffing children but jd Vance fucks couches because I still have to explain the Biden rumor is false all the time.

Jd Vance. He fucks couches. Literally. He does it. Dead ass.

- I'm disappointed nobody has made this yet.

  Where's John Oliver when you need him.

Why they ruin all the fun?

I got a glance at Reddit and it was like 70% of the political memes and unlike here, the fact checkers were buried in the comments.

Didn't get me wrong, I love the meme and will continue to use it but I don't want people to get the idea it's not satire. We don't want a new Birds Aren't Real type situation where a meme gets out of hand!

One of the funniest segments I've ever seen was John Oliver's most recent show when he talks about this and then slams into a "now this" segment about furniture. Hilarious.
