Obligatory "fuck Vance," but his comment was made in the context of other commencement speakers' getting boo'd for their AI comments, and in that sense it actually was an amusing joke (given Vance's proclivity for gaffes, I suspect credit goes to his speech writer).

it's a typical wrasslin heel move to respond to boos by commanding the booers to not boo, which is how people are taking it. headline is not story

Of all the people who have been a fall guy, JD is a fall guy the most amount.

I've been watching him with that in mind, it becomes hard not to see. Doing corny villain lines is just laughably transparent though.

Wish the headlines mentioned he was joking (I understand the desperation for any traffic)

In fact, it is my constitutional right and duty to boo and heckle you

Back when the American constitution was actually being oppheld that might've been the case

JD Vance is the one thing that gives me hope for America.

When Trump dies, nobody is dedicating their life to this fucking chud.

[–] YoureHotCupCake@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Please if they will dedicate their lives to an absolute piece of shit like Trump they will find another piece of shit to worship.

I think you underestimate the stupidity and servile nature of conservatives.

Conservatives were given the choice between the wellbeing of their nation or a felon rapist pedophile. They went with the felon rapist pedophile because there was a neon "R" hovering above his head.

Party over country EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Even if that party is being represented by a couch fucking wimp whose face you'd just as soon dunk in a toilet than look at.

I don't think so. I think Trump is their god, and no one else will be able to unite the anti-tax whiners with the Christian nationalists and MAHA weirdos. My prediction is that they will fragment, but I could be wrong.

It's unlikely, but do not underestimate the far right's ability to be hoodwinked and hateful, and the oligarchs' relentlessness when it comes to making sure the world continues to go to shits...

“One of the things that makes Americans unique, that makes you as war fighters unique, is that we wage war justly.”

[–] ClownStatue@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

Best joke in the whole speech.

Imposter syndrome.

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 4 points 1 week ago

You see, I don’t know how to couch such statement. It’s probably his most embarrassing attempt at being cool sofa-r.

If I hear that this dickhead ever visits Stockholm/Sweden, I WILL go to the American Embassy and boom him as he arrives.
