Can we rise above the locker room humor: KILL THE COUCH MEME! [View all]

Come on folks. Many of us fell for the Twitter joke concerning Vance and a couch.

IT DID NOT HAPPEN!

If we want politics to be a more honorable and humane endeavor, WE must stop passing along lies too. Our credibility suffers the longer this continues

There is certainly enough fodder to exploit whenever J.D. Vance opens his mouth.
