I feel dirty saying good things about Sarah Palin, but she was brought on to fire up the base and did just that. Vance has managed to alienate the base. I don’t think the incels even like him at this point.
-
Yeah people forget how long people looked favorably at Palin. The response to Vance meanwhile was an immediate and visceral "no thank you"
-
Of course the incels don't like him. He argues that childless people should pay higher taxes. How did anyone think that would go over with the "never even had sex" constituency?
-
I think the incel crowd generally want to strip women of their rights because they see women's liberty as a main reason they can't get laid.
So, I'd imagine the childless cat women thing could hit with them because they'd be like "yeah, women should stop being so up-tight and have my babies!"
Or something like that.
-
The dumb thing is: they already do. I get a deduction for my kid.
I am sure the calculus had nothing to do with what the incels want - it's not like they are going to change their vote.
-
Incels would agree to pay more money if it harms women. All incels hate each other, men who aren't incels, themselves, and women. That's in ascending order. They are full of hate.

Brilliant response!

"I can see Russia from my couch!" - JD Vance

He just needs parody porn about him and they are one in the same.

or just high as fuck. cocaine is a hell of a drug

Sarah Palin was like a dog that peed on themselves because they're an idiot. Vance is like a dog that bites their owner because they're an idiot. Sure, Palin was dumb, but Vance is a real threat to all Americans.
-
Don't tell Kristi Noem. I bet she still keeps her favorite gravel pit in great condition, just in case.
-
-
Palin was a joke because John McCain was at the top of the ticket.
If it was she was second to Trump and being groomed by the Heritage Foundation and their Project 2025, she would be scary too.
-
-
But since then, he has faced a rash of bad headlines about his past comments calling Harris a "childless cat lady," his past support for a national abortion ban and even a baseless internet rumor about having sex with a couch.
It may be baseless, but it's quite plausible because he is just so...uh...the way he is. Trump, Vance, and RFK are all kinda weird. Hugging and kissing the flag, playing with dead things, etc etc.
-
Baseless? I thought "people are saying" was an acceptable level of fact checking. Donald certainly agrees with me.
-
I think it has to be "all the best people".
-
-
"a baseless internet rumor" that the Associated Press had to retract an article, "No, JD Vance did not have sex with a couch" because they could not indeed confirm that he hadn't had sex with a couch.

Never forget that Pence was maybe even considering going along with Trump on J6, but Dan Quayle the potatoe man talked him out of it.
Quayle was adamant, according to the authors. “Mike, you have no flexibility on this. None. Zero. Forget it. Put it away,” he said.
But Pence pressed him, the authors write, asking if there were any grounds to pause the certification because of ongoing legal challenges. Quayle was unmoved, and Pence ultimately agreed, according to the book.

In the name of Murphy Brown I never thought I'd say this: Thank God for fucking Dan Quayle, of all people. once MAGA is in the dustbin of history that doofus should run for office on the platform of actually having saved democracy.
-
Dan Quayle helped save democracy? What the fuck timeline are we living in?

-
Considering that Vance's biggest accomplishment so far is writing a best-selling book, in which he cosplays as a poor person while trashing rural Americans, this about checks out.
-
Do you think he wrote that book though?
-
-
Palin was at-least somewhat entertaining in her madness.
-
She also came across as ditzy, not creepily malicious.
-
Vance 100% knows what he’s doing. He accepted that he had to sell his soul to become a successful politician.
-
I don't know about that... but then I made sure to read about her past as mayor of Wasilla and before that. She is incredibly malicious and petty and vindictive.
-
-
Palin at least gave grist for porn (nalin' Palin). Furniture porn was hilarious before Vance, is still funnier without humans.
-
-
Palin alienated anyone vaguely in the middle, but on the other hand she had at least some particular support that she brought distinct from McCain (basically Tea Party folks that were not particularly excited by establishment republican nor McCain).
Vance doesn't have any particular support, he only gets indirect support for people who are "republican no matter what" or "MAGA all the way", but those people were already covered by Trump. Even in his own state his margin of victory was much slimmer than the other republicans that swept Ohio in 2022, and Ohio's not even a state considered to be a risk to Trump's campaign.
He was just a tremendously bad choice with no strategic benefit. The VP pick should somehow provide some coverage for demographics not hit by the presidential candidate, and Trump instead went with someone with very limited popularity that is a strict subset of people already supporting Trump.
-
After seeing what the cultists were going to do to Pence, and that Trump was going to allow it, no one else was interested in being his VP. The only option was a bootlicker.
-
While the list was certainly constrained, he did have a line of boot lickers. Perhaps none more ardent than Tim Scott.
Given how they keep want to accuse Harris of 'not being really black', maybe they would have wanted to have Tim Scott, so it's still terrible but at least it's not as completely insane as two white guys trying to gatekeep being black.
-
-
I forgot about the Tea Party, ahhh...simpler times...
-
She also brought in the evangelicals because she was one of them. And she had the same false piety the other evangelical darlings have.
-
True, he only brings the few techno autocrats. Though that does bring money (though some of that money, like Elon's, would have gone there anyway).
But he was picked because he'd do what Vance wouldn't and overthrow the election.
-
he'd do what Vance wouldn't and overthrow the election
Pence, Vance, shitty Underpants...
same, same but different...
-
-
-
And there's not going to be any porn parody about couchfucker
-
Have you tried JD Revanced? It’s much better than the original.
-
Made me chuckle, thx
-
So many patches needed to make it palatable.

not going to be any porn parody
I'm surprised it hasn't been made already.
-
Decades past relevance as a setup for a joke, but I just keep hearing Yakov Smirnoff in my mind.
In Soviet Russia, couch fucks you!
-
-
He's so spineless it's baffling that they thought this would be a good choice?
-
Trump thought that he'd appeal to hillbillies and poor Midwesterners. Clearly he didn't read Hilbilly Elegy beyond the title.
If he did, he would have learned that, much like Clarence Thomas with black people, Vance paints all poor people in Ohio and Kentucky as lazy welfare recipients who should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps* and work harder 🙄
*which was originally an expression for doing something literally impossible, as pulling on your own bootstraps would make you fall down.
-
It's not that it makes you fall, it's just a non-lever. If you sit on your ass plant your feet flat, then try and pull on your ankles to help yourself up, you'll get the same effect where it's actively a hindrance to getting up.
-
-
That was a feature not a bug.
Trump thought he was going to win and he wanted someone at VP who would throw the electoral college count into chaos and give him a third term.
-
TFG wanted someone who won't outshine him.
-
-
More unpopular or less popular?
-
I think there's a fun bit of linguistics there. If you say more unpopular it implies that both are unpopular and one is even more so. If you say less popular, it implies that they are both popular, but one is to a lesser degree.
-
For me, less popular would also include people who are indifferent about them, just less people exited. Doesn't necessarily mean that people really dislike them.
More unpopular seems to me there are more people who are actively against them, dislike them.
I can be not popular, without being unpopular at all.
But english isn't my native or main language, so...
-
That's why i ask!
-
-
-
His greatest accomplishment.
It was not an easy feat, but he prevailed.
-
Indeed. This is a real achievement.
-
-
So you're saying he's less non-unpopular

Tech Oligarchs Test Tube Hillbilly
Common guys! It's funny!
-
fyi it's "come on", but that's a common mistake.
-
Thank you.
-
-
-
I mean, yeah, I would be fine with leaving Palin alone in a room with my furniture.
-
Imagine fucking a couch and then being popular…
-
That's gotta sting.
-
And their nominee for president is older than McCain was.
-
But Palin had a pretty great pair of tits. That probably floated her up a few points.

The Walt Disney Company is an American multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate headquartered in Florida. ABC News is a brand of Disney Advertising, whose primary product is propaganda to buy automobiles and prescription pharmaceuticals.
MBFC is a right-leaning credibility gatekeeper that classifies this advertising vehicle as left of center, but it should be remembered that ABC is a neoliberal tool of billionaire Bob Iger, who rescinded his membership in the Democratic Party in 2016 when Trump came to power, and now identifies as an independent voter. He has donated to both Democrat and Republican politicians and PACs, but has been a enemy to unionization and working people. His only allegiance is to the billionaire class.
If you want to understand bias, follow the money. David Van Zandt's site MBFC has a terrible track record of properly vetting sites for bias, and should not be featured here as an authority. Any journalism that is 'left-leaning' coming from ABC News exists in spite of its fundamental right-wing bias.

Most impressive.
JD-Wan has taught you well.
