Nah, just gotta use granny's plastic couch cover.

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Ok, someone needs to sell a brand of this as Couch Condoms and donate the proceeds to voter registration programs.

That's no good, he is used to that texture already.

Vance's eyeliner is so distracting, who convinced him it was a good idea?

I wonder how far back you have to go to find a pic without it.

The beard really was a good fashion decision on his part.

Unlike the eyeliner.

What’s the inset picture of?

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Francis Buxton from Pee Wees Big Adventure

[–] CynicRaven@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

This guy from Peewee's Big Adventure. I figure because of a bit of resemblance to Vance.

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

Oh yeah? Where are they hosing him down?

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He forgot to take it off from his college crossdressing escapades

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah he's definitely wearing it in that pic.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Eyeliner makes you more attractive, it's just a fact and I'm proud of JD for putting his best self forward. Shame on y'all for trying to bully him over it.

Unfortunately, that best still sucks, and not in the way the guyliner would make you think.

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That eyeliner is not making that guy more attractive.

Compare to his beard, which 100% makes him more attractive.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm sorry, but it's well established slut science.

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Vance believes in faith-based sluttery. "Slut science" forsooth!

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Its not a phase mom!

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 33 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I normally can't stand to watch the debates, it's too painful for my depression-saturated brain to endure, usually. Usually.

I might make popcorn for this one though.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 months ago

The Biden Trump debate was one of the most painful things I've ever watched. I'm excited for the debates with Harris and Walz though. I'm expecting them to wipe the floor with their opponents. There's no way they're going to be able to keep up.

[–] fubarx@lemmy.ml 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't it be great if the fly shows up: "Heyyyy, been waiting!"

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Oh I forgot the fly that was crazy lol.

Kind of like a more gross version of when that bird landed on Bernie

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Trump campaign has not agreed yet... maybe they aren't even sure is Vance will make it to October

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I'm glad Tim pulled the same move that Trump tried to pull on "We agreed to debate on Fox" bullshit.

Let's see how they like it.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Heysus. After watching the whole Biden/Trump debacle, and hurting like hell, I'm all in for this one. Even more so for the Harris/Trump debate. Not going to miss a single word those nights. Pay. Back. Time.
