Just Dance Vance is so much better than Couch Fucker…

James Donald Bowman should just take the win and dance like no one’s watching!

    You see how thin skinned and dumb conservatives are? We need to continue with the trolling and memes. Begin the civil meme war has…

    Whoever Newsom is paying to troll these idiots this hard…

    Damn, I hope they have reliable body guards.

      Totally unrelated, but is “Spaniard” actually a common/accepted term for Spanish people?

      It’s not a term I encounter often in everyday life, though to be fair I don’t exactly have a lot of people visiting my neck of the woods from Spain either.

      Something about the term feels kind of derogatory to me, or at least old-fashioned, but that might be because the only time I tend to hear it is when I’m watching something like a pirate movie and they’re talking about looting a Spanish ship or something along those lines.

      Or maybe because some other more common English words that end in -ard are insults (like drunkard, bastard, and retard,) so my brain kind of lumps it in with them.

      I remember having this conversation back when I was in high school while we had some Spanish exchange students, but never bothered to look into it further (and never had the opportunity to ask one of the Spanish kids since I took French) so I guess I’m just looking to settle a debate I had with some kids 20 years ago.

          Thank you! I’ll be sure to let my old classmates know I settled an argument that they’ve probably long-since forgotten about if I ever run into them again.

          Or watched The Princess Bride

          Inigo Montoya: I hate waiting. I could give you my word as a Spaniard.

          Man in Black: No good. I’ve known too many Spaniards.

    "Vance responded: "This idea that Gavin Newsom is somehow going to mimic Donald Trump’s style, I think that ignores the fundamental genius of President Trump’s political success, which is that he’s authentic. He just is who he is.

    “You’ve got to be yourself, you’ve got to actually talk to people honestly about the issues. I don’t think it’s that complicated; don’t be a crazy person, be authentic, if the Democrats did that, they’d do a hell of a lot better.”"

    I hate Vance, but has legitimately spoken true and good advice to the Dems here. It’s sad that he knows there’s no harm in doing so.

      Oh please he’s being deceptive. Newsom isn’t trying to emulate Trump. He’s mocking him. He’s arguing a strawman.

        Y’all really celebrating a non progressive making fun of Vance by rhyming it with dance as a victory against fascism?

        For fuck’s sake, the OP says that’s a much better nickname than Couch Fucker.

        One calls out him out for being disgusting and makes you ask questions, and one makes him sound fun at parties.

        Isn’t that Trolling by the classic definition? Forcing a fake argument or idea is kinda the point of fishing under power.

        It’s still good advice. Mocking Trump is… Cool I guess?

        Now actually resisting. Coming up with policies and committing to them, that’s all we’ve been asking for, and the one thing they desperately don’t want to give us
