    Except he didn’t call Vance a couch fucker.

    He just said if he could get off the couch, he’d debate be happy to debate him.

    Don’t strip walz of the glorious subtleties.

    He wouldn’t have to if his opponents weren’t a self confessed couch molester and an ex President who is a 34 times convicted felon?! Now only one of these is literally true, but which one?? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    EDIT: re-attached missing limb

    EDIT: what’s going on?! I have my forearm back but I’ve lost BOTH upper arms?!

    EDIT: I have succesfully re-attached all limbs but now I’m trapped in this grey box?!

    EDIT: I was actually nervous to make one more edit, but I’m pleased to announce that the procedure was a complete success! All limbs have been restored and the patient is recovering well!

    I caught the “if he can get off the couch” joke, but did he actually use the words “couch fucker”?

      No, and I kind of hate these recent memes for that reason. His joke was a lot more subtle and could as easily be about the fact that the original meme caught on because these guys are so weird, but it wasn’t an outright accusation, and this meme has “couch fucker” in actual quotes, like he actually said that. It would be moronic of Walz to outright call Vance a couch fucker and now there is this meme floating around making it look like he did.

      I hate to be a downer but this is toxic.

      Edit: to the point where I would seriously question the true intent of the meme.

        I’m with you on this one. This sort of thing robs him of the wholesomeness of his persona with a genuine untruth. It’s a big turnoff for some people.

          I’m not sure who you think is going to be turned off. He mentioned the couch meme in somewhat distant language, so that if you didn’t know what it was then you wouldn’t know what he was talking about. The prudish folk who would be upset at such a meme’s existence didn’t look it up.

          And everyone else recognizes that while the man looks to be wholesome in general, he’s not Mother Teresa and no one wants him to be. He’s supposed to be the vice president, not Santa Claus. He’s not allowed to tell a joke? Come on now. You can find something better to worry about than this.

            They’re talking about the meme. Walz’s comment was an “if you know, you know” kind of joke. Totally fine and funny. The meme, however, distilled it down to a “direct” quote that he didn’t even say, calling Vance a “couch fucker”–you don’t need to look that up to take issue with it.

            I’m not sure I have an issue with the meme, but I see their point.

        The Harris/Walz ticket deserves better memes. How come so many that I’ve seen look like they were pulled off of ICANHASCHEESBURGER network??

    Now we just need to see ads with this same energy

    I’m already seeing a “border czar” one and it gets my piss to a boil because it’s absolutely not true

    Except with trumps and vances track record, there is facts; not lies and blatant conjecture.

    The time for going high when they go low is over with

    “You know why Trump and Vance are…weird? Well…” The shit writes itself
