… what a unique sentence.
I just hate the fact that this absolute fucker has ruined the name JD. I love Scrubs.
That and the good name of Vance Refrigeration
What kinda business you in Bob?
He’s not an absolute fucker unless absolute is a brand of couch.
It comes with shot-glass-sized cup holders in the armrest.
There’s absolutely no proof that J.D. Vance uses burnt monkey testicles as anal beads while making love to his chaiselongue. Reports of him heating them up in a red Le Creuset cast iron skillet before insertion are pure speculation.
There’s also no proof he doesn’t though so we can’t say for sure
Probably rug burn from the couch cushions.
Sadly, this one involves burning the testicles of actual living monkeys, and not merely engaging in private pleasures
I love the memes that this rumor has brought about, but i think for integrity’s sake we should make sure people know that we haven’t verifiably found it to be true. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/jd-vance-hillbilly-elegy-first-edition-couch-erotica/
I do however think its a pretty safe assumption.
I wish I’d contented myself with the headline on this one.
Thank you for the comment. I’ll let my curiousity go unanswered and my imagination take the reins.
Headlines are getting wild.
Dolphins, monkeys, cats, couches, no dead dogs yet.
Watch it turn out he was part of the zoosadist group from awhile back.
CW: animal cruelty

From the article:
The test involved 48 beagles and evaluated an analog of the neurotransmitter creatine. Due to toxicity of the test substance, 15 dogs had to be put down. Two more were found dead in the lab.
yet.
I missed the cat thing. What did Jorkin Dapeanus Vance do to a cat?
google childless cat ladies, it’s legacy.
Preeeeettty sure his name is Jance Dance Vance, and I won’t be convinced otherwise.
That looks like the titular character from Xavier Renegade Angel
“I said I had enough of that at school…” -Lance Vance
(Emphasis mine)
Many of these animals die in the course of toxic testing exposures. Other animals are destroyed at the conclusion of testing. There are also dreadful mistakes: A lab monkey recently died after getting wedged in faulty lab equipment, and technician error left other monkeys with burns on their genitals.
What a weirdly euphemistic way to describe it. “Killed,” “put down,” or even “euthanized” would be far clearer. “Destroyed” isn’t even especially positive, but it’s just strangely vague. I get that it’s probably a term of art in the industry, but I would have put it in quotes to show that and call attention to the fact that they intentionally try to distance themselves from their actual practices.
I’ve heard the same for any animal in the wild that attacks people and must be caught and put down. I don’t know how many years ago it started, but it’s been in use for quite a while now.
I used to work for a preclinical pharmaceutical company and our primary model was monkeys (macaques like rhesus and cynmolgus). We worked on drugs for cancer, Alzheimer’s, lupus, and more.
We had full time 24/7 vets, regular checkups, enrichment programs, and the techs would constantly give the animals treats and were very passionate about the most humane treatment. We got surprise inspected by the FDA and others in order to keep our GLP and AAALAC status and we worked with some major companies who would not work with us if we lost our status.
Euthanasia was a big part of many studies because they need to necropsy the animals so they can see what the drugs to do parts of the body.
This mention of “destroyed” seems much more harsh than what I experienced in the labs. Burning testicles is brutal bullshit - what the hell are they even testing?! This lab sounds like a fucking shit show!!!
Don’t we all though?
Seems like Trump’s people didn’t do any digging to vet Vance, but the MAGA crowd will write it all off as fake news anyway.
Now that’s it’s come out that he got bullied into the JD pick by his failsons, I’m thinking they did do some digging. He just got bullied.
failsons
New word of the day!
Noun
An incompetent, unsuccessful middle-class or upper-class man who is protected from economic duress by his family’s wealth or influence.
Also the fact that Trump only cares about himself and his growing cognitive decline means he probably had zero idea who any of the people on “his short list” even were. So when his offspring offered to make that pick for him I’m sure he was all for it, and being a raging narcissist believed it didn’t even matter against Biden.
It’s sad how old he is. Old and quite weird.
It’s the sequel no one wanted:
Trump term 2
2 old 2 weird
AmplifyBio should rebrand to AmplifyCruelty.
Also, we’re Satan-hybrids now? That’s awesome! Coolest thing they’ve called us yet.
Vance’s investment in Rumble is more on-brand. That company hosts insidious films by anti-vaxxers, who’ve spread the conspiracy theory that Covid is not a respiratory virus, but actually snake venom added to municipal water, and that those pushing mRNA Covid vaccines want to make you “a hybrid of Satan.”
Sign me the fuck up. Do I get demon wings? Pitchfork? It doesn’t matter, I’m in dammit
So do we get to pick which Doom-esque demon hybrid we become or is it assigned for us?
I’m thinking it is assigned, but I put in a request anyways
I see here you’ve requested assignment as a Baron of Hell. Unfortunately, we do not have any of those positions open at this time. I am able to offer you the options of Lost Soul or Generic Zombie. Productive demons will be considered for promotion to Revenant.
I have a lot of experience as a lost soul! 👻
… I just want to stop learning more about this man. Everywhere you look, there’s something even more fucked up than whatever you knew before.
(Jk, everyone needs to learn about him so we can win in November)

Don’t forget to add little love notes. e.g., “Thinking of you 💋”
So what you guys are saying is that if a drug that could save your loved one or you was tested/researched using animals that you don’t want it? Burrnnn monkey burrrnnnnn
More that we ought to treat the animals humanely in the process, and limit animal testing to situations where it’s a medication that really benefits people, and not a cosmetic.
It’s hard to see how an action which results in burned monkey testicles is consistent with that.
Why does it really matter if the animals were bred for that reason? I thought the burned testicles was just an error, not a normal occurrence
No, it doesn’t matter that the animals were bred for the purpose of inhumane testing.

I am a vegan and applaud your moral consistency. News articles like this are full of fake outrage by people who support the animal ag industry that commits worse crimes at massively larger scales every single day. In regards to animal welfare this guy and the puppy killer are only very marginally worse than anyone else.
edit: obligatory downvotes by people who want to be mad at animal abuse while supporting animal abuse.
I’m just trying to stay humble one triple bacon cheeseburger at a time. Spreading the good word of my gluttony to the people.
