lol This is almost as good as getting him to say out loud that he’s never had sexual relations with any living room furniture.
He came a little closer to that saying a bit ago that his campaign is not “going to talk about couches”
Less talk, more cushion
Gotta have that cushion for the pushin’!
Yeah this is basically the same as when a pushy dude tells a woman “I’m a nice guy”

“I really do think that whatever Tim Walz calls me, I mean, talk about, talk about weird with Tim Walz,” he added.
Did…did Vance just “I know you are but what am I” Tim Walz?
You do not want to get into a normal-off with Walz, but I sure hope Mr Vance keeps trying.
Oh shit, a normal-off!
Normal-off! cups hands over mouth NORMAL-OFF!!! Weewoo weewoo!
Most boring event at the Minnesota state fair iirc
And the most authentic
Please, let it happen. Nothing says “I’m weird” like doing a normal off with someone who doesn’t care.
I saw a snippet of an interview he was in. The interviewer asked him “What was the last thing you did out in public by yourself?”.
Walz thought for a moment and said “I went to Menards and bought an air filter for my furnace.”
“I’m rubber, you’re glue” as an election strategy is… Well, it’s weird.
No u
-JD Vance
Pretty much everyone I’ve ever met is weirder than Tim Walz. And Trump/Vance is weirder still! Lol They will not win this one (election)…
Vance must be practicing stringing words together in a stroke-inducing order, a very important skill for a GOP ticket member, no doubt.
It’s the harold and kumar scene
Yup. Perfectly normal to joke about molesting a woman in a department store.
… You do realize who that “woman” is, right?
Spoiler
“Donald Trump motor-boating Rudy Giuliani in full drag,” wrote the Twitter user who shared the video. “Meanwhile, these people keep a straight face while they tell us how awful drag is.”
Of course.
That’s what makes it even worse though: the joke is that Rudy isn’t really “molestable”, but the old freak goes for it anyway.
And the pièce de résistance is, of course, that he was found to have sexually assaulted at least one woman in a department store.
That doesn’t change anything.
It makes it weirder.
I mean, who hasn’t done that or owned their own country club?
“we’re very normal guys”
definitely something that “normal guys” need to clarify.
We totally believe you.
Hello yes, I am normal man, do you like skateboards?

Nothing more normal than urgently trying to prove you’re normal
frantic browser history erasing noises
JD is probably also having some discussion with his wife like
Honey! Why’d you sign up for all these gawd damned furniture magazines! Don’t you know people are talking! How do we get rid of these! THE LIBERALS ARE GOING TO DESTROY ME! STOP LAUGHING!
Hahahahahaha! This is what’s making me laugh so hard about this whole weird campaign.
“NO NO We’re not weird! See?”
Does something weird anyway.
It’s great that this very simple campaign about calling them something as basic as “weird” is shaming them so fucking much.
It’s because it gets at a core aspect of their identity. They want so badly to turn back the clock to an imaginary perfect 1950’s (or 1850’s), and since that’s how they think the world ought to be, they behave and live like it is that way. They want doing that to be normal, and it is… but only within the context of their imaginary reality.
Calling out how weird they are makes that reality fall apart. It makes them see actual reality, with all its complications and messiness, and in that context… they’re fucking grade-A weirdos.
That’s an excellent explanation.
There was research done on people who tend to support authoritarians, and one of the big commonalities was the need to see their authoritarianism as normal, as something that most people support and that it’s only a vocal minority that oppose it. This “weird” narrative is proving to be so effective, I think, because it’s shattering that image.
There are, I think 2 ways to counter being called weird:
- Lean into it
- Be normal and mock those calling you weird
They can’t do number 1 because so much of their rhetoric depends on people believing their positions are popular.
They can’t do 2 because they’ve fallen into the same media silo as their constituents, and are so insular that they’ve detached from what most people see as normal.
So instead, they’ve chosen to stand there and say “no, I’m not weird, I’m normal” which is not something someone normal does.
In the same way that publicly announcing “No, I did not fuck that couch” doesn’t lead people to think “oh, this guy doesn’t fuck couches”
Yeah whatever Couch Fucker.
That’s Vladimir Futon to you, sir.
Ooooh that’s nice. Did you make this? Can i have this?
Username checks out
FWIW I’m definitely stealing this without asking.
I just want someone to slow shout that at one of his rallies.
He’s just talking all you hear is “COOOOUUUUCCCCHHHH FUUUUUCCKKKKKKEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR”
“Weird” would have been such a nothing insult if they didn’t get so weirdly upset by it
It’s very telling about the republican party. Being truthfully called authoritarian, against democracy, etc. doesn’t bother them, but being called “weird” does. It shows how much more they value conformity more than anything else
Thank you for that insight!
Obviously this isn’t even the gloves-off, no-holds bar attack line that some pundits want Dems to use and that others think it is. It’s just a true statement. That’s why they are flipping out, because they can’t shake it.
They’re also learning real quick that they’re the minority.
You can’t disparage fascists by telling them they are racist or misogynist. They like it.
But when you call the weird? It hurts, why?
Because they think they are the norm, “everyone” thinks like them. Saying they’re weird - as they are - reinforces the fact that they are outside the norm.
“We’re normal guys!” says two of the least-normal weirdos in the country
Super. normal.
We’re just normal everyday billionaire fascists. I don’t get it… We’re just your run of the mill, woman and minority oppressing, gender obsessed, ownership class regular joes!
You’d find us on line with you to get seated at Atelier Crenn, or Masa. We’re just like you!
Wacky demented grandpa vibes.
Ah… I well… normal for Maga…
Vance faulted Walz for not kissing his wife at a recent rally.
In the meantime, Melania hasn’t shown up for months, and almost none of his family could be bothered to show up at his trial. Meanwhile, Mr Emhoff and Mrs Walz are right there with their spouses the entire way. [Also, I don’t recall seeing anything with Vance and his wife on the campaign trail, but I wish cba to even try to look.]
I don’t recall seeing anything with Vance and his wife on the campaign trail
Maybe she’s upset about the couch and all
Rumor has it that every hotel room that Vance has used on the campaign trail has had a couch in it. Coincidence or “hoes in every area code”?
When she’s upset with him, she makes him sleep with her.
She’s been there at least a couple of times that I’ve seen. I know this because there were articles about how Republicans immediately started being racist toward her and their kids.
Stalking someone around the country and trying to enter her personal vehicle to confront her about her behavior - totally normal. Women everywhere find that entirely not creepy and aren’t at all worried around that guy.
I’m not familiar with this story. Who’s involved?
Vance is doing a tour where he follows Harris around to the same cities where she has rallies. Most recently he was doing a press stunt on the tarmac trying to approach her plane. (Presumably so he could sniff her panties)
Weirdo.
Thanks!
Maybe he was hoping to make love to some airplane seats? That’s a totally normal thing to do if you are JD Vance and it’s not weird at all. Not one bit.
But I wouldn’t put it past him to be a panty sniffer either.
Never mind for the moment that she’s the Presidential candidate and he’s Trump’s lapdog, so he should be chasing Walz around if it wasn’t an outright sexist ploy.
I thought JD was into his sister? He is also into his daughter? What a weird guy.
Trump’s the one who said he wanted to fuck his daughter.
Still weird to want to fuck your sister.
This doesn’t look normal to me: https://imgur.com/gallery/trump-making-fun-of-disabled-reporter-oT41FYI
These two weirdos are the farthest thing from normal I have ever seen running for president and vice president.
Couch fucking weirdo, and there’s no way Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies isn’t a really weird guy. I mean look at him, he’s orange and that hair!?!?!?!?! Those comments about his own daughter? Weird.
Bit weird he has to specify that…
It reminds me of all the posts making fun of Ted Cruz saying things like “I too and a regular earth human who consumes the flesh of animals.”
