Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Couch-fucking dolphin porn seeking VP pick is an out-of-control trainwreck.

Who'd a thunk the GOP could score history's greatest own-goal mere days after Kamala caused them to shit their pants?

Didn't they choose this fucker before Kamala became the presumptive nominee? Didn't they consider Vance a victory lap on Biden?

So they chose the chud who called Trump Hitler and heroin and then publicly fellated him harder than the others?

They thought they had it already in their pockets with Trump alone so they went with the Thiel puppet to appeal to silicone valley fratboys (which, judging by Musk, worked).

Now they have two candidates that alienate everybody who's female and/or non-white. Whoopsie!

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

https://www.vance.senate.gov/office-locations/

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

I love seeing this in every Vance thread.

I appreciate the encouragement. It’s my attempt at organizing a peaceful protest against Vance.

(I’m sure that’s more than he can say.)

Why is the background of that website dirty? It looks like a smudgy piece of paper.

He fucks couches, not designs websites.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Using an online mail fulfillment service and an AI image generator, you could establish an autonomous pipeline of fresh horny sofas directly to every J.D. Vance office daily.

At this point I'm getting a little suspicious with how obsessed with children he is

I’m out of the loop on the couches, cats and all that. TBH I (naively) thought they’d walk back his nomination after they realized he hated Trump’s guts.

Vance is ideologically flexible. He'll do whatever benefits Thiel, who has paid his bills for years.
