It’s crazy that people think JD Vance had sex with a couch. There’s no evidence JD Vance had sex with a couch. It’s liberals that are perpetuating the idea that JD Vance had sex with a couch. JD Vance has specifically denied that he has had bare skin contact with a couch within a 5 year period. It’s ludicrous that JD Vance was banned from a Cleveland area IKEA after having intercourse with a KIVIK Sofa Chaise.
I’ll repeat, there is no evidence to believe JD Vance had sex with a couch. JD Vance is not a couchfucker.
You misunderstand the game here.
That’s true
No amount of fact checking can ever prove that conclusively. You can’t really prove a negative.
So… JD VANCE, COUCHFUCKER EXTRAORDINAIRE
Their comment is extremely sarcastic. I think they understand that game.
How the hell do you know? It's 100% impossible to recognise saracasm in text.

What's sar-cas-um?
Oh. Right.
Many such cases
Though you can within a timeframe, right?
That's why he can say he never fucked a couch in the last five years
