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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

"I'm JD Vance I'm running for vice president," Vance said. "Good to see you."

The employee sounds unmoved and replies with "okay" and waits for him to begin his order.

Does he expect people to get down on their knees after he tells them that?

"okay..."

silence

"I'm sorry but we don't have any couch shaped donuts"

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

"Oh we're prepared for this! One moment please!"

Call to the back: "Guys, we need the plastic cover for the couch, it's a code V!"

[–] Please_Do_Not@lemm.ee 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"I'm sorry, our couch donuts aren't glazed."

JD Vance, tugging on his suddenly sweaty shirt collar: "Oh I think I can help out there."

"I'm sorry, our couch donuts aren't glazed."

That's ok. He prefers to do that part himself.

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 years ago

Or "okay..."

"Then it's cash only..."

[–] ATDA@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

The "Please Clap" energy was intense nostalgic.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

"What are your intentions with my donuts?"

[–] polle@feddit.org 1 points 2 years ago

I literally laughed

The "OK" crushed him. He was expecting any reaction and she could give 2 shits about him. Order your donuts and get the fuck out, ain't nobody got time for your ass.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Imagine if she had a zinger loaded. "Yeah, you're the running mate for 'America's Hitler.'"

Actually they probably got a bunch of reactions like that and "ok" was the one person that put him in the best light.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 years ago

Simplicity is better in most cases. When someone has to tell you who they are and you respond "ok". That is brutal. You are literally saying I don't give a fuck

[–] raynethackery@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Kind of wish she had said, "That's weird."

[–] dudinax@programming.dev 14 points 2 years ago

My fantasy:,

"Not under Trump, right?"

"Actually..."

"Ewwww"
