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!

I think Vance's problem is that he has no defense for anyone's claims. You can claim ANYTHING about Vance, true or not, and people are like, "Yeah, I see it."

My mom had JD Vance as a student in Ohio. He kept 3 of his pet frogs in his underwear during the day and no one knew why.

See?

did you enjoy the visualization?

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 60 points 3 months ago (1 children)

AP can't prove he didn't keep pet frogs in his underwear.

[–] DScratch@sh.itjust.works 19 points 3 months ago (2 children)

And they were unable to find the frogs for comment.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

They probably croaked at this point.

[–] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Have they checked in the couch?

[–] ByteOnBikes 56 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

His own party made racist jokes about his wife being Indian and this guy is like, "Yeah she's not white."

Wtf.

I would have taken any other answer, even the Will Smith slap. Jeez this fucking guy.

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 35 points 3 months ago

I think Vance’s problem is he’s super weird

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Where'd he keep the rest of them?

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

In the couch to keep them moist.

[–] Late2TheParty@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

You had to use the "m" word, huh? 😝

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 months ago

I ate the onion on that statement, good on ya

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That makes total sense. I just hope he took them out when he had carnal relations with the settee.

[–] don@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

No, he wanted to be able to claim he’d been in “orgies”.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

How many pet frogs did he had?

[–] modus@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Normal amount.

[–] don@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Well, enough to keep three in his underwear.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

I heard they were tadpoles but came out frogs. So they were in there for a while.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Just look at the guy y'know

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 months ago

I heard he liked the extra couch friction gained from the frog warts.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Technically, ladies underwear, but I don't judge.
