He's really just got that one "accomplishment" he's proud of, huh?
You guys! I did it! Like, with an actual woman! And, wait for it, no condom! You guys, I wennt in raw! And I totally came inside! Is your mind blown yet?
Sure thing, JD, whatever you say. What was her name? Lemme guess, Broyhill?
If the world didn't have so many J.D. Vances in it, I would reconsider having children.
Wow, he really wants to go with the "childless" thing, huh? Should go over swimmingly with Millenials and Gen Z that can't afford to have children anymore.
He just wants Millennials to be the happy and proud parent Trump is of his children- Ivanka, Don Jr., Derek, Barron, and he doesn't have any other daughters.
While he's just an adultless child
He wants to ensure that all children have children. His type is couches, dolphins, and little girls.
And that right there is some fascism talking points.
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 💋”
I've been saying this for a while now that this anger and resentment over childfree people has become increasingly pervasive and dangerous and it really feels like we are going to be one of the first against the wall.
Even among otherwise reasonable people I know there is a shocking amount of resentment towards people who choose to live their lives for something besides children.
The wealthy want more people in the world so that they can pay employees less. More people, more competition for jobs. Also, more consumption, more sales.
That is pretty funny, actually. It's such an old-timey insult. He is basically calling them spinsters. I can't imagine this will catch on.
Hell yeah JD!!! That's my boy! Keep giving us this motivational locker room talk, you're the gift that keeps on giving! Keep cooking (yourself) King. You're kinda mainlining the LGBTQ stuff to the point that it's stale, maybe alienate some minorities next go round, that'd be SICK
With all his focus of who does and doesn’t have kids, I feel like there’s a good “precious bodily fluids” joke to be made here.
🎶 every sperm is sacred, every sperm is good. Every sperm is needed, in your neighborhood. 🎶
Unlike him and his wife, Couchela.
I'm a childless adult. I'm such a terrible person. I worship the devil and I kill people. What are you gonna do about it? My cats are literally tiny Satans.
Actually, they fucking rock. Best kitties in the world.
Fellow childless adult here. Partner and I want kids, but we can't bear to bring a person into this world where the climate is fucked, reaganomics has ruined the middle class, and restrictive reproductive healthcare laws make pregnancy a huge risk.
JD Vance wants to bitch about childless adults, but he and his ilk are causing us to abstain from having kids.
You know what else is childless? All the couches he's been humping. What a hypocrite. Sheesh.
This couch fucker needs to resign.
No no, he needs to stay in. He needs to keep saying this shit and driving everyone away from voting Trump. Since JD Vance is a narcissistic, power hungry couch fucker, he won't leave Trump's campaign willingly which is exactly what we need.
Vance can go fuck himself. And a couch. And a dolphin. And whatever else he gets off on. What a douchbag.
Why do Republicans hate children so much? I have kids and fail to understand why the party supporters want children born unwanted. Do they secretly relish the idea that these unwanted kids will grow up in misery? Neglected, abused, worse? WTAF?
Unironically, they absolutely do. Children are the punishment for having sex out of wedlock, and not only must the woman suffer for having this child, but the child must suffer because they're the product of sin.
I knew a number of people at my old church who ABSOLUTELY thought this way.
This guy is hilarious! He's gonna drop a solid gaffe bomb soon enough and Drumph won't know what to do.
I'm trying to imagine what would even register as a gaffe at this point, discernable from the cosmic background dumpster-fire of Trump's campaign
He may get dropped, I think.
We're in move, counter-move territory after Biden dropped out and everything coalesced behind Harris.
Living in sin.... No attachments, just these journalists and their sexy spouses - their Lazy Boys and their Ashleys.
What a neckbeard
Why on Earth does he think this is a good strategy?
Every time a new story about Vance comes out, I become more and more certain that Trump regrets choosing him.
it's not a random thing to demonize people for the simple choice to not have kids. corporate greedlords have been shitting their pants over the declining birthrate because less kids means less money for them. no matter who's paying to raise a kid--parents or taxpayers--that money isn't spent on kids that don't exist, and every industry suffers for it: food, medical, gas, clothing--everything
so if you already felt bad about not having kids, the goal is to make you hate yourself even more, and make having kids an even higher priority in your life. it seems like it should be about more than money, but for republicans it's absolutely not.
Large part of the electorate. Maybe that should matter to him.
What’s the tactic here to win voters? Alienate them? Are the republicans trying to neg women into voting for them?
I don’t think lack of self esteem is going to win them any votes, how will Republicans raising taxes on the poor and giving corporations tax cuts help the childless cat ladies have babies?
No tactic, he's just an asshole. Just because Trump was stupid enough to pick him doesn't mean that Vance has a single clue about what he's fucking doing.
He's really proud that he found a woman who will let him raw dog
Oh, the poor little fascist doesn't like being shat on like he rightly deserves. ROFL, he should go back to couch-san for some more one on one time.
Obsession with childless adults? Hmm, I think I know which major Republican donor recommended him to Trump...
This really smacks of "bloodlines."
All this thread gave me is the question:
What the fuck did I miss that JD Vance is now meme'd as a couch fucker?
What is wrong with the MAGA goobers? Is this really the hill they want to die on?
I interpret this as "he wants even more bad press, this time from pissed-off journalists".
Vance faced an onslaught of bad press, as many commentators—including Harris’ step-daughter, Taylor Swift fans, Democratic officials, actor Jennifer Aniston, and several conservative women pundits—decried his comment.
My reading comprehension must be pretty bad because for a second it sounded like Taylor Swift was Kamala Harris' step daughter.
