is there a couch fucker thread yet? feels like this needs a thread.

Hey you, over there
On the chaise longue in your underwear
What are you doing sitting down?
You should be horizontal now
On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue, on the chaise longue

You know, I'm not gonna be picky on what finally kills Trump's political career but if this does him in over all the other bullshit, I genuinely don't know whether I'll laugh or cry.

Guess who likes to watch!

JD Vance pauses the video at this moment...

The only difference between this and all the "Obama is a Secret Muslim from Kenya" stuff is:

1: Racism/Islamophobia is probably considerably worse than mere kink shaming.

2: This was actually funny for about ten minutes.

Still, focusing on made up bullshit is dumb when there's plenty of real shit to talk about.

Like the fact that Vance's grandma asked him if he wanted to suck dick when he was only eight years old?

Looks like we have another couch fucker here

If that happened, sounds like abuse to me. Mocking people for having been abused doesn't sound very fun to me.

That is entirely beside the point!

The real shit, however, hasn’t exactly moved the needle. People are fine with voting for a traitorous rapist, but appear to be willing to draw the line at couch fucking.

I'll mock him for being abused because he's a piece of shit and deserves all the misery he's tried to force onto others.

we could discuss Vance's dolphin pron (prawn?) addiction instead?

No.

Mocking fascists is good actually.

Guess I'm never running for office then.

Not that I've ever fucked a couch myself. Nothing I've said constitutes an admission.

Or in addition to. I just think fixating on the couch fucking is dumb; I didn't say anyone should stop.

True.

However, mocking people for made-up things is some Federal Farmer shit and all of you know it!

To reiterate: "this is dumb" does not mean the same thing as "you should stop."

Mocking anyone for being abused as a child is a shitty thing to do. Someone being a piece of shit does not justify being a piece of shit oneself. All shitty people say shit like this to justify their own shit behavior.

I agree with all of this except I don't run with fake things on Twitter like a lot of other people here do. Don't put me in that category.

Um...did FF just out Kommander as a dual of himself?

That was more about how you're perceived than if you actually fit said perception or not.

As to whether or not I think the perceptions are accurate... I'll keep my thoughts to myself.

I hope I'm not his dual. Although, it would explain a few things.

If I am, this simulated reality he created for me sucks and I demand upgrades.

Honestly, the time for "when they follow, we go high" has been over for a long time.

I really wish people did care about the important issues but at this point, I want Trump stopped by any means necessary and if it takes the running mate being cringe enough to make Sarah Palin seem like a MENSA member to do it, then so be it. Like you said, this is actually funny, at least.

Or an assassination, right?

If your sanity is going to unravel, can you at least make it funny?
The repetition is like watching a computer slowly lock up.
That's boring.

used to be they'd hang seditionists...

Again, no.

The mocking isn’t because people believe he actually fucked a couch.

That is just a rhetorical vehicle to deliver the point: He is a really weird and creepy guy.

This isn’t a disinformation campaign because no one is actually trying to convince another of the falsehood that JD Vance wrote in his memoir that he fucked a couch.

There is no need. He doesn’t need to have written that he fucked a couch or even to have fucked a couch to be instantly recognizable as a guy that would fuck a couch.

You don’t need to actually believe he stuck his penis in between some cushions to look at him and go ‘Oh yeah, that dude fucked some couches.’

Now mocking of fascists is just generally good. They want to be feared and hated. To them and their followers it is affirmation of their power. No one fears a weakling. So laughing at them denies them this affirmation. It drops them down to just a normal politician and not some kind of demagogue.

But this kind of mocking is especially important because there is nothing that can be done to counter it. Because whether or not his penis penetrated furniture is irrelevant there is no way to disprove it.

He is impotent. And there is no such thing as an impotent fascist. At that point you are just a loser being left in the dust as the party moves on to new strongman.

"Dumb on purpose" is still dumb, and I don't have to like it.

But yeah, "dumb," may be the only thing that works at this point, and I definitely don't like that.

And for the third god damn time: I didn't say stop.

You have to nip the bud in the nick of time.
The German cabarets did fuck all to stop Hitler.

Your words, not mine, pal

remember back around '08 when the righties and libertarians were shouting to "vote from the rooftops"?

That was interesting right up until the talking head showed up, at which point, I stopped watching.
