Vice President JD Vance’s waistline may have gotten a digital nip and tuck courtesy of the GOP.

To mark his 41st birthday on Saturday, the party’s official X account posted a photo of Vance overlaid with the message: “Happy Birthday Vice President J.D. Vance.”

Release the Epstien Files.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

As if that's not going to be photoshopped

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You're right, but can't let them forget it.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

We don't need those files. We already know he's a kiddy fiddler, a rapist, a convicted felon, a scam artist, a crook. And president for the second time.

But it's sure nice to bug him continuesly with it haha!

But the ones who voted for him also voted for a pedophile and a criminal (as this was already known) so they are just as bad as trump himself.

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

We DO need those files. I fucking hate traitor trump, but I also want every single rapist on that list to rot in prison beside him.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Fair. I agree we need those files, but not for Trump. Because we already know he's in there, we probably will never see his name in there. And other most influential people too, they probably will be wiped from there before publication.

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I expect a hand written sharpie "list"

I swear to god if he writes Bidens dog Major in on the new list I'll riot.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Hell use that list to name all his opponents. Political opponents, journalists, people bad for his business, anyone who says he's on that list, judges, etc.

After a meal at The Cheesecake Factory, he got the green light to visit a furniture showroom warehouse. Sofas of all textures, colors & styles.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

he prefers couches, because of the smoothness.

[–] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Sofas are on the higher end, they tend to require a bit more courting first.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

"Sofa, so good!"

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago

Trump is a child rapist

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

Even all those arrows can’t hide the flag.

[–] iamdefinitelyoverthirteen@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's so weird seeing his actual face.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 2 weeks ago

he has a baby,butterface, plus the well manicured eyebrows, eyelids, and eyliner.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

He could have just worn a suit that was the right size

[–] Zier@fedia.io 12 points 2 weeks ago

He was eating a cat at the time of the photo and they had to AI it out.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He's standing straight up and still about to "The Incredible Bulk" out of those buttons‽ Does he not have a mirror, or abdominal nerves‽

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

Or access to even a bad tailor?

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

The GOP really likes editing pictures of Vance to stroke his ego. I think they are sucking up because they expect him to be in the Oval Office long before Trump's term is up.

He denied taking weight-loss medications like Ozempic. “I haven’t taken any drugs. Obviously, you eat a little bit less, but it’s also just eating better,” he said.

Sure, James Donald Bowman you gigantic cyst full of puss and phlegm, I don't believe you and I will continue to deadname you in every thread I can.

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Epstien List has Trump's name on it.

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nothing like the classic photoshop warps. Smells like ai

[–] SaltySalamander@fedia.io 4 points 2 weeks ago

"Photoshop" is a verb too. Doesn't mean Photoshop was used, just means the photo was edited.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Ah yes, even after Photoshop he still has got that sausage link effect you get when your grow too fat for your suit.

[–] notsure@fedia.io 4 points 2 weeks ago

...does he look 14, no?, then it's photoshopped..

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

three waffles and scrambled eggs and bacon

That is a shit ton of food for a regularly occurring breakfast.

The slopper party

They removed the couch between his legs.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

His nips. They come right off now.
