Thank you for this, it will make a fine addition to the "response to the groupchat yapper" folder.

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

He looks confused about what the sound was

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Seriously it sounds like the rest of the applause was edited in.

“Ha” points “I love you ~~guys~~ guy”

Is there a couch over there in the distance?

[-] joekar1990@lemmy.world 122 points 2 months ago

It's funny to me that the Trump ticket is pushing this they are for the everyman and against elites...they are the elites. You can't get more elite than a billionaire and silicon valley VC guy.

There are two Ivy League graduates among the four major candidates on presidential tickets. They are both in the Republican party, the same party that attacks colleges as being out of touch/too liberal and destructive.

[-] FunderPants@lemmy.ca 49 points 2 months ago

They're basically that Seymour Skinner meme. They go to college, don't grow as people at all, then stand around like:

"Did I learn nothing from my time here? No, it's the educated who are wrong"

[-] TheHotze@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Meanwhile there is an actual everyman on the other side in Tim Walz.

[-] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

I love that the GOP has essentially been trying to destroy the Ivy League since the whole Israel thing got going, but so many of them are products of said Ivy League.

Two fellas who are Definitely Smart Enough to make it into a competitive ivy league school.

Who among us hasn't posted dolphin porn to twitter?

"You childless losers probably spend all your time rescuing cats from trees!" Vance reportedly yelled as he ran off stage, mascara streaming down his face.

[-] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 32 points 2 months ago

I was saying boo-urns

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 25 points 2 months ago

I just boo him in general, but glad to see others doing it as well.

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

I was saying "boo vans".

This makes total sense. Couches are often the item that catches fire which then causes these fire fighters to risk their lives.

This man walks in and everyone knows all the friction he has applied to god knows how many couches. He's a fire hazard.

[-] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

I genuinely thought that Vance was the one booing firefighters based on my first impression of the title lol. That would have been especially delightful

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
