    Couch memes are fine, but I still don’t understand why we’re ignoring his dolphin fetish.

      I mean we’re just asking questions here. It would be very simple for him to unambiguously disavow his couch and dolphin fetish, so by choosing to stay silent it seems as if he is choosing to let us work from our own assumptions.

        From https://www.indy100.com/politics/jd-vance-dolphin-search-history:

        Back in February, long before he was a potential vice president, Vance shared a screengrab from a X/Twitter account called ‘Crazy Clips’ which showed a video of a woman getting attacked by a dolphin. The post read ‘woman gets violated by a dolphin and enjoys it.’

        Now apart from the clip being a bit weird, especially for a notable US politician to be sharing, the big thing that people have picked up on is that the words ‘dolphin’ and ‘woman’ were highlighted in the tweet.

        Given how X/Twitter’s search engine works it is therefore likely that Vance, or someone else, had searched for these specific words in order to find the post.

      The couch one is so much more believable that it sticks better. Like they’re trying to push that Tim walz drinks horse cum but it’s so stupid it hasn’t spread much. Now if they targeted vaush with that rumor…
