Rick does not work in politics. He has a desk job. He’s on the political left and said he viewed Vance from “a place of irreverence if not outright disrespect,” in part because he shares an upbringing not dissimilar to the hard-knock childhood Vance describes in “Hillbilly Elegy.” The political conclusions he drew from those experiences, though, differ markedly from Vance’s, he said.

“I have really enjoyed thinking about his team and all of the idiots associated with him having to grapple with this,” Rick said. “I think by the time the AP thing came out, I was talking to one of my sisters and saying, ‘Oh, yeah, Trump is already calling him a couch-fucker.’”

    I hope this one never dies. I want it to last so long that in the care home the workers will refer to vance as the couch fucker. when he’s gone someone will chisel couch fucker into his tombstone, if it doesn’t say it right from the get go.

    Ever notice how it’s always the Democrats that seem to act so immature all the time? You just don’t see Republicans act this way most of the time. And it’s not just this story either. If you read through the comments on just about any post, you can point out the Democrats just by how childish the comments are. Just an observation
