lol This is almost as good as getting him to say out loud that he's never had sexual relations with any living room furniture.

He came a little closer to that saying a bit ago that his campaign is not "going to talk about couches"

"I really do think that whatever Tim Walz calls me, I mean, talk about, talk about weird with Tim Walz," he added.

Did...did Vance just "I know you are but what am I" Tim Walz?

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 92 points 3 months ago

You do not want to get into a normal-off with Walz, but I sure hope Mr Vance keeps trying.

Please, let it happen. Nothing says "I'm weird" like doing a normal off with someone who doesn't care.

Yup. Perfectly normal to joke about molesting a woman in a department store.

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 49 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

... You do realize who that "woman" is, right?

Spoiler“Donald Trump motor-boating Rudy Giuliani in full drag,” wrote the Twitter user who shared the video. “Meanwhile, these people keep a straight face while they tell us how awful drag is.”

[-] LookBehindYouNowAndThen@lemmy.world 36 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Of course.

That's what makes it even worse though: the joke is that Rudy isn't really "molestable", but the old freak goes for it anyway.

And the pièce de résistance is, of course, that he was found to have sexually assaulted at least one woman in a department store.

"we're very normal guys"

Hahahahahaha! This is what's making me laugh so hard about this whole weird campaign.

"NO NO We're not weird! See?"

Does something weird anyway.

It's great that this very simple campaign about calling them something as basic as "weird" is shaming them so fucking much.

[-] kescusay@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago

It's because it gets at a core aspect of their identity. They want so badly to turn back the clock to an imaginary perfect 1950's (or 1850's), and since that's how they think the world ought to be, they behave and live like it is that way. They want doing that to be normal, and it is... but only within the context of their imaginary reality.

Calling out how weird they are makes that reality fall apart. It makes them see actual reality, with all its complications and messiness, and in that context... they're fucking grade-A weirdos.

"Weird" would have been such a nothing insult if they didn't get so weirdly upset by it

[-] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 35 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It's very telling about the republican party. Being truthfully called authoritarian, against democracy, etc. doesn't bother them, but being called "weird" does. It shows how much more they value conformity more than anything else

Vance faulted Walz for not kissing his wife at a recent rally.

In the meantime, Melania hasn't shown up for months, and almost none of his family could be bothered to show up at his trial. Meanwhile, Mr Emhoff and Mrs Walz are right there with their spouses the entire way. [Also, I don't recall seeing anything with Vance and his wife on the campaign trail, but I wish cba to even try to look.]

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 19 points 3 months ago

I don’t recall seeing anything with Vance and his wife on the campaign trail

Maybe she's upset about the couch and all

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Rumor has it that every hotel room that Vance has used on the campaign trail has had a couch in it. Coincidence or "hoes in every area code"?

Stalking someone around the country and trying to enter her personal vehicle to confront her about her behavior - totally normal. Women everywhere find that entirely not creepy and aren't at all worried around that guy.

These two weirdos are the farthest thing from normal I have ever seen running for president and vice president.

Couch fucking weirdo, and there's no way Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies isn't a really weird guy. I mean look at him, he's orange and that hair!?!?!?!?! Those comments about his own daughter? Weird.

Nothing says 'normal' more than having to constantly tell people you're normal...

[-] BlucifersVeinyAnus@sh.itjust.works 23 points 3 months ago

Ah yes, “We’re totally normal!”

The rallying cry of totally normal dudes everywhere because everyone knows how hard normal dudes have to work to prove they’re normal dudes…

Fucken weirdos 🤣

[-] Spitzspot@lemmings.world 22 points 3 months ago

Sounds like something a weirdo would say.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 22 points 3 months ago

Interesting how much Vance seems to be in charge of the messaging right now. I don't remember Pence being this outspoken on the trail. Maybe I'm misremembering. Most VP candidates let the person at the head of the ticket take charge, which only makes sense. Normally, that'd be doubly the case when your boss is Trump; it's hard to get that guy to shut the fuck up.

At a guess, Trump is still stewing about not running against the person he planned to run against and doesn't know what to do. Meanwhile, Vance can do as he wants. What Vance wants is a bunch of stupid shit that's only dragging the campaign down, but he does it nonetheless.

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Trump's handlers still have him in no-talking-timeout after the black journalists thing.

All normal guys talk about sucking dicks with Mamaw. If only he had actually listened to her

"I'll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I'm going to hell."

When he brought up the issue with his grandmother — known to Vance as "Mamaw" — she replied bluntly: "Don't be a fucking idiot, how would you know that you're gay?"

When Vance explained his reasoning, she laughed.

"JD, do you want to suck dicks?" she said, according to the book.

The young Vance, apparently "flabbergasted," said: "Of course not!"

"Then you're not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay," she replied. "God would still love you."
