This couch fucker really is a dumbass isn’t he?
With conservatives you really only have two choices: they're idiots or psychopaths (and that isn't an exclusive "or")
If the “or” is inclusive you shouldn’t use “either”

Shit, true! I'll just edit that away and we can pretend it never happened. WHO CONTROLS THE PAST CONTROLS THE FUTURE
Here, have some nerds arguing extensively over whether that's necessarily the case.
Nerds argue all the time about the darnedest things, like the Oxford comma. Which is abhorrent.
wooosh
Nah, nerd and proud.
He didn't get where he is today by being smart or talented. He got where he is today by bending over and letting Peter Thiel use him as a sock puppet.
Just gonna keep posting this since we shouldn't be perpetuating lies: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/jd-vance-couch-cushions/.
We all know it isn't true. That's what makes it even funnier because Vance is exactly the kind of person who looks like he would do it and he's doing a very poor job at making anyone think otherwise.
No all we really know is he didn’t write about it in his book. We really have no idea whether or not he ACTUALLY did or not. I know I’ve done things I would never admit publicly.
