Wow JD Vance is weird for saying childless military men don’t have a physical commitment to our country. You’re an idiot if you think he meant people out of high school in the military. Pete is just reminding you that he’s a useful idiot that was in the military - where he was recruited as a CIA plant - Obama’s CIA.

Wow JD Vance is weird for saying childless military men don’t have a physical commitment to our country. His campaign was asked. How hard is it to answer no he didn’t have sex with a couch. Im just asking the questions here. As we dig deeper into him not denying it or his campaign denying it, it gets odder and odder. There is nothing for him to deny. It's a fake story that doesn't deserve to be acknowledged. That's called feeding the trolls. You clearly don't seem to be accepting or grasping the fact that it's fake. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K D Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 25 minutes ago, The Frankish Reich said: No. It was a really good joke tweet! Knowing the old rule that it is impossible to analyze comedy ... 1. JD Vance is kind of stiff and awkward on the national stage, and he's trying too hard to be Joe Sixpack, if the Sixpack is Diet Mountain Dew. He's also trying way too hard to be a Trump insult comic. Instead, as one commenter said, he's the Great Lakes Ron DeSantis. 2. Somehow the "sex with a couch" works against that backdrop. 3. The tweet itself was simple yet specific. It involve a rubber glove and a couch. And it gave a reference in standard citation form (Vance, p. 179-81). Far enough into the book, knowing that most people never made it that far. Simple. Elegant. Beautifully done. Dare I say "edgy" which a lot of old fogeys here just don't get. So making up fake stories about him makes him weird? I think it's a narrative on this entire election. The Dems can't run on their record because they screwed up the entire country so all they can do is name call and make stuff up. Pretty sad that some of you would vote for this. Most of us care about actually fixing this country that is going down the tubes right in front of our eyes. It's very sad 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a complete joke and people are laughing at the Left for yet another failed tactic. Anyone that thinks the non-Left is in a state of fear is simply deluding themselves. The Left's tactics aren't working and haven't been effective for some time now. But, of course, the Left will try their best with the feeble tactics to turn the table and wag the dog by deflecting and say the non-Left tactics aren't working. And the only reason they will say that is because they are working. Ah, the Left is so weird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're tired of the games and word play (from both sides). We all deserve better and we're getting tired of it. The word games are ineffective for the majority at this point and when one side is really trying to run with it (the Left at this point), it's laughable and is no longer working. In fact, it's backfiring in a big way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Of all the attacks Kamala Harris's team could have launched against Donald Trump's VP pick, J.D. Vance, calling him "weird," was probably the worst choice. If Vance has a quirk, it's his millennial bluntness, but anyone who has any experience hanging out with millennials — particularly millennials on the right — it's a pretty common trait that I would argue is a necessary counter to the multi-generational penchant for political correctness on the left. I'm struggling to see anything weird about Vance, and I'm not just saying that because I plan to vote for Trump, but I have no doubt that leftists absolutely do find him weird, and I can confidently say that this actually reveals more about the left's mentality than it does the right's. According to The Hill, Vance's "weirdness" comes from his purported views about women . The Hill gets quotes from other Democrats using the word over and over again. It's your typical Democrat tactic of "repeat a word until it becomes synonymous with the subject" tactic. I have a tip for the left. If you're dressed up in an elaborate costume, flailing your arms around in some form of interpretive dance while decrying capitalism and describing yourself as "non-binary," and you're doing this in a room filled with people who are dressed normally, converse normally, and have no confusion about who they are or what their identity is...then you're the weird one. Democrats have spent the last few years dragging America further and further down a path it clearly didn't want to go out of some misguided delusion that radicalism should be the new normal, but if you have to subversively introduce your ideas through pre-established avenues or even force them into businesses and schools through politically based programs because they aren't catching on by themselves, then perhaps the ideas you're pushing are just too weird to begin with. Vance's ideas aren't weird. Many of them are adopted naturally. Moreover, if you're having to rely on the media to carry your water and force a lie on the people repeatedly in order to get them to believe it, then maybe your ideas aren't very good. In fact, they're probably too weird for people, and maybe this artificial normalization you're attempting is just as weird seeing as how it's right out of "1984," which warned of a weird future where the government had to force its weirdness through everyone via brainwashing. https://redstate.com/brandon_morse/2024/07/30/weird-the-harris-campaigns-line-of-attack-against-jd-vance-isnt-going-well-n2177535 .

We will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country. And we will immediately stop all of the pillaging and theft. Very simply, if you rob a store, you can fully expect to be shot as you are leaving that store. (APPLAUSE) Shot! You're not going to be a dictator, are you? I said no, other than day one. In 2016, I declared, I am your voice. Today, I add, I am your warrior. I am your justice. And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution. I am your retribution. If seen this. In regular people language this means he'll declare a series of executive orders on day one to shut the border, reverse Biden administration energy policy, and other disastrous initiatives. What's weird is Biden appointing a bald guy with red lipstick wearing a women's dress stealing people's luggage at the airport.
