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!

"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 months 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 months 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 months ago

Or "okay..."

"Then it's cash only..."

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

The "Please Clap" energy was intense nostalgic.

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

"What are your intentions with my donuts?"

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

I literally laughed

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 54 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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 months 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 months 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 months ago (1 children)

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

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

My fantasy:,

"Not under Trump, right?"

"Actually..."

"Ewwww"
