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!

JD Vance puts his cast iron in the dishwasher pass it on

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago (2 children)

You think he cooks at all?

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's his wifes and she has yelled at him about it weekly for their entire marriage.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That’s grounds for divorce right there

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

He's not even doing it on purpose. He always forgets because the couch is visible from the kitchen and it pushes everything else out of his mind.

Internal monologue recreation:

man there’s a lot of dishes tonight. Better check if I missed anything in the living ro-

Couch:

exists

Vance:

meth perhaps

JD Vance doesn't wash his hands after pooping pass it on

Hey, let's try to keep it civil, ok?

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 3 months ago

That monster!

[–] RunningInRVA@lemmy.world 34 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I read a comment from some article somewhere and the quote was that “JD is the Dan Quayle of Sarah Palin’s”.

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

(There's no apostrophe in a non-possessive plural noun)

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

This is my favorite take on him.

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

This reads like a SAT practice question

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 27 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Well yeah, Palin at least has the MILF thing going for her. What does Jorkin Depeanus Vance bring to the table?

In all seriousness though, Vance is the scapegoat for how abysmally inadequate the nominee is. Never before has a candidate been so horribly inept and disappointing, so supporters were hoping for a perfect running-mate to pick up the slack.

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I really hope your F in MILF stands for forget, because I sure as hell won't even think about the other one.

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I dunno man, she seemed pretty nice in that documentary about nailing things.

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't know that, but I guess it might be porn?

I liked her in Iron Sky. What a great movie.

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Iron Sky is such a guilty pleasure!

[–] DocMcStuffin@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Let me tell you about a little film, ahem an adult film, called Who's Nailin' Paylin?.

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh God it includes a porn version of Bill O'Reilly... WHO ASKED FOR THAT???

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 4 points 3 months ago

My head canon is that Bill did when he wrote the check to have it filmed.

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That explains that other reply 😅

[–] yemmly@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Based on the pic, has he started dipping into the bronzer?

Trump: “JD the reason people don’t like you is you’re too pale. Try this.”

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

Yeah I think he has. It kind of clashes with his eyeliner

[–] Sir_packsalot2@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 3 months ago

He's not allowed within 100ft of a furniture store. Has anyone checked the no fly list? Does that include schools?

"I would, but I'm not sure it's dirty enough" -JD Vance

It voted for Dukakis...

[–] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

To be fair, that's an extremely fuckable couch

[–] EarthShipTechIntern@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago

Reagan, Bush, Trump

Quayle, Palin, Vance

The GOP is vanguard in the race to the bottom
