The internet is full of hoaxes. But I think the fact that he is being seen as a weirdo or a joke, spells trouble for trump.

Therefore, his couch and other furnishings more than likely retain their virginity.

My father, who was raised in West Virginia and lovingly refers to himself as a hillbilly (albeit a college educated one) would not be pleased with your insinuation. To be honest, neither am I.

Albeit fiction, it illustrated a certain subset of what is commonly referred to as "hillbillies" to be profoundly ignorant and evil. MAGA appeals to this particular mindset. Unfortunately, given a blitzkrieg of RW proaganga, many in West Virginia and elsewhere have succumbed to it. Your father sounds like a wonderful person. I try not to paint with an overly broad brush, although it does get perceived that way on occasion.

He called it derogatory names and wanted nothing to with it. But as time went by, his associates expressed admiration and affection for his sofa. It had some sort of power to attract people to it. Since it had such a following, Vance felt obligated to change his mind. Now he wanted to be with his sofa. He wanted to become one with it.

Also afoot are allegations that JD Vance is a Chesterfield Molester and a Canapé Copulater.

...when they were talking about it after the presidential address. I think Joy brought up the topic of the couch and Vance, but didn't say anything more about it. So I googled it and found a hilarious article about it. We were laughing so hard, we were crying.
