Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the main stage, Anita Cushion.

So, now I'm getting ads for couches on JD Vance posts? So that's a thing...

It looks like the Sync app, which is what I use. It does have ads but my VPN blocks them so I never see them unless I turn it off.

Sync. I don't pay for premium or ultra or whatever. I don't mind the ads in the app here as they are pretty small banners and they support a dev I like.

To be fair, it looks like a joke costume he put on for some occasion. But I find it ironic that the laws being pushed by his political group would still make it illegal.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's definitely a joke costume, but did we let that stop us with the couch?

Let's start putting out the word that we support JD Vance having access to all the gender-affirming care he needs.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

The eyeliner in TV interviews didnt seem to help him at all, so he really needs more support I agree

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago (2 children)

So he's dressing like a woman for fun? Isn't that she many drag queens do it?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Dressing for fun, or dressing to mock people?

Either way, that $5 Spirit Halloween wig is gatekeeping itself from drag.

I remember some college dudes infiltrating an 'old boys' club that had a lot of conservative high office politicians. The camera caught Rude-y Ghouliani doing a little drag performance for some people at a table with this big grin on his face then he sees the camera and it's MAGNIFICENT to see his face drop and turn to stone.

This was early in the days of youtube.

I mean, look anyone can wear what they want as long as it covers the naughty bits when they are in public, but to actively work to make life hell for trans people while privately crossdressing for friends as a joke is just disgusting beyond words.

For real, me and a friend went to a costume party as Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton back in college. It was hilarious, we even acted the parts. I'll admit I was a little nervous walking into a frat house dressed like that, but the cheers we got made it all worthwhile.

This is normal human behavior that the people he's with want to criminalize.

$20 says Vance gets fired by the end of August

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 month ago (6 children)

I don't really think so, because that would be admitting Trump made a mistake...

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I mean, his previous administration was a constant revolving door, alluding that he made many mistakes

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

I think there is too much of Peter Thiels money behind JD Vance for Trump to fire him

His catchphrase is literally "you're fired". He'll do it by tweet at 2am.

he fired a lot of his own appointees wouldn't those also be error admissions? Not to mention that he'll happily gaslight news anchors etc.

My guess is he picked Vance to secure financial support from silicon valley billionaires and he needs that money more than anything

I'm going for a trifecta: $50 says that...

  • JD Vance is fired by the end of August
  • Trump suffers a heart attack or stroke from the stress of bad ~~ratings~~ polling and dies shortly afterwards
  • Republican party, totally clueless as to what to do tries to put forward a Mike Johnson/JD Vance ticket after loads of completely idiotic infighting that will have everyone scratching their heads, saying, "WTF?"

Bonus: Ron DeSantis and Marco Rubio will both be pissed beyond belief and still in complete denial that nobody really likes them.

Shut your mouth, I just came a little visualizing that utopia.

JD Vance seems like the type of guy that would upper-deck a national park toilet.
