That opening music was really cringy

I feel like I could do a better job than this guy and I am not a public speaker.
It really is kind of inspirational, It makes me feel better about how normal I am in comparison
Step up to the mic, wave and say hello, get off the stage. There, better speech.
Oof. Homeboy has the presence of a used blood boy.
From urban dictionary:
blood boy
A young man who is a healthy specimen (no drinking, smoking, drugs, possibly vegan) and is hired by an tech billionaire to be a source of youthful, healthy blood for him, via regular transfusions.
I had to look it up, but it’s wonderfully accurate. Thank you for teaching me a new term.
Is this a real thing? I thought it was just a joke from the show Silicon Valley.
It is indeed real.
Public speaking is hard, even for people who aren’t massively awkward lickspittle cretins.
lickspittle
I’m so glad this term is coming back into modern usage. It showed up twice in one episode of HOTD (and a few others) and I was happy to hear it.
Also, how tf has JDV been a politician for this long without the ability to be likeable and/or know his audience for a public speaking event? Holy shit.
If it matters, I didn’t hear it recently at all, and it’s not a word I use often - it’s just that when I went deep into my lexicon for the best word for him, that’s what I came up with. Maybe the lickspittles are the ones bringing it back.
How dare you make excuses for this asshole!
The cover photo they used makes it look like he haasaged 10 years in the last few weeks. Stumbling from embarassing screw up to screw up on the world stage when most people are already against you will really wreck your youthful demeanor.
Good. He deserves this shit.
Couch fucker.
Our VP choices are friendly coach or couch fucker
I enjoy friendly coach, he’s adorable.
Do you mean JD Vance as in, “JD Vance, the fake hillbilly yokel?”
Stolen Squalor.
To the moon with this coment, LOL.
Sadly I didn’t think of it, but I’m determined to spread it around because it’s so frigging brilliant.
Thank you.
Hahaha
There really needs to be a chefs kiss emoji
Let’s go Apple!
(Edit: yes, I know Lemmy hates Apple, but they’ve been the only one of the five companies - the others are Samsung, Google, Meta, and Microsoft - on the UNICODE board overseeing emojis that have actually bothered to make any new emoji for the past 15 years.)
stop, I need to convince myself that emoji are still new.
Lmao, shit no. They’re not even remotely American, either. They were a big deal in Japan in, like, the 90s while we primitives were still using emoticons like simpletons ;)
And even they, with their kanji, could write superior emoticons thusly ツ
I’m no weeb, but give some credit to Apple for dragging us turds into the 21st century and keeping our texts fresh 😉👍
And Apple gave us the rainbow flag emoji, my personal fav 🏳️🌈 to celebrate marriage quality in the United States.
#🤌
Some folk’ll never fuck a couch,
But then again some folk’ll.
Like JD the fake hillbilly yokel
Fuckin savage caption writing.
[clapping] would have been sufficient but they really wanted to let the hearing impaired feel the awkwardness of the moment.He’s beating Jeb! but not in any realistic fashion.
He was speaking to a union in Boston. What did he expect?
The man has sex with furniture, thinking will never be his strong suit.
Well he is basically in a union with his couch, just with less working and more… Working
Hello, Dale! I see that you are a man of culture as well.

Well yeah he’s a fuckin weirdo
Worst place to try and start a dumpster fire.
It might be time to swap JD for Bobby Brainworm.
You mean ole Whaley McChainsaw?
You can’t use that, it’s not even close to the weirdest thing he has done.
Wicked fucking righteous.
J.D. Vance might be on a generational run for the worst VP pick of all time.
Remember when being unable to spell “potato” was enough to derail a political career?
Howard Dean says “yeeeaaaahhhhh!”
At least Gary Hart got some Monkey Business to torpedo his career.
This was the weirdest thing. That dude had energy, and it tanked his run. One time he did a weird thing and it ruined his chances, now we’re counting the weird things people do daily and it has no effect.
We’re only 16 years off Palin, that’s impressive.
I mean, generations are only ~15ish years apart - so it tracks…
