As someone who teaches 22+ year olds, I can assure you, nothing connects with them more than a 34 year old reference to a movie they never watched or even heard of.
Also, remakes of 'The Amazing Colostal Man' and "War of the Colostal Beast', because those '50s Bert I. Gordon sci-fi classics never get old, and a great head full of sunburned flesh like that should never go to waste.
(Poor ol' JD only rates a remake of 'Attack of the 50-Million Childless Cat Ladies')
I saw "Amazing Colossal Man" on MST3K and was hooked for life when Glen was bemoaning his fate and Joel said "The first step is admitting that you have a problem." Then because of rights issues I never saw that episode again for decades, but did see "War of the Colossal Beast" and was confused because it wasn't like what I remembered and in particular didn't contain the riff my memory was specific about: made me question myself.
So now the threshold parameter for sending a long-serving -beloved even- but tattered couch to the landfill will be "too unfuckable even for JD Vance."
I once read advice that, if you can add "by zombies" to a sentence end and it it still made sense, it was Passive voice. Maybe we should swap out "JD Vance" for "zombies".
"The couch was fucked". (..by JD Vance) is definitely passive voice. Instead, choose "JD Vance fucked the couch". Much stronger and more informative statement.
has been fun seeing people finally GET IT about the asylum confusion. it was obvious from day one that is where the Hannibal Lector nonsense was coming from. he is just that dumb.
President Trump is an inspiring and gifted storyteller and referencing pop culture is one of many reasons why he can successfully connect with the audience and voters. Whereas, [Vice President Kamala Harris] is as relatable as a worn-out couch.
I knew the difference between insane asylum (thanks Batman cartoons!) to asylum seekers (Thanks, Mom & Dad, for watching the evening news during dinner!) in the mid-to-late 80s. I was a child.
At his press conference, I hope Trump shows up wearing white running shoes, high-waisted Levi 501s with ripped knees, leg warmers, a shiny shirt made from unidentified synthetic fibers, a neon pink unconstructed jacket, and, of course, a ten-foot-long red “power” tie.
My god, that's Steven Cheung? That guy looks like he's in his mid-60s and is a retired Bond villain's henchman. It turns out he's only 42. His parents? Yup, immigrants.

Simply one more reason Kamala Harris should never be left alone in a room with JD Vance.

Is a couch on the front porch of a college off-campus rental too unfuckable for JD?

Seriously, intentionally bringing up a couch to diss Kamala? OMFG!
Give his campaign staff some credit. They did talk him out of claiming he's been black longer than Kamala.
Steven Cheung reminds me of the Vogons from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
I do not want to hear his poetry.
Just a reminder to always employ Trump's Razor when trying to explain anything he does.
Goes like this: “ascertain the stupidest possible scenario that can be reconciled with the available facts”.
And never forget Fran Lebowitz' observation: "You don't know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump. You just don't."
Random factoid that I just learned today: Apparently, in 2023, there was a movie released called “Mother, Couch.” Seriously:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother,_Couch
I’m assuming it is a documentary about how TFG selects his VP running mates, based on the respective loves of their lives.

No way!
WAYY!!!

Hoser!
As if!
Party on, Don!
Steven Cheung looks like a rotten egg made up for Halloween instead of Easter.

He already has the big hair and too-much makeup.
w/a big ball cap turned jauntily to the side.
Maybe a gold tooth for cred
And says, "How do you do, fellow kids."

Oddjob libelz
Jumba from Lilo & Stitch 😅
Omg he’s 42?!
42 what?
😂
Kinda weird too because who doesn't have/hasn't had a worn-out couch? Regular people have couches until they are worn out and long after.
