“You know, this is the only commencement speech that I’m giving this year and so I’ve watched a few highlights of graduation speeches where this or that corporate leader will discuss artificial intelligence, AI, and be met with literal boos,” Vance said as he wrapped up his remarks.
“Now, you can’t boo me. I’m the vice president of the United States,” he added, drawing laughs.
that’s pretty cringe
This is big-time ‘Please Clap’ energy.
It’s going to be very satisfying in November, for about five minutes, when I watch this batch of Republicans get creamed in the elections. Then my brain’s going to kick in to remind me that it doesn’t matter, because all Democrats do when we give them power is make excuses about why they can’t do anything, and then the hopelessness is going to kick right back in.
I don’t have hope that the world will see this administration “get creamed” in November. They are trying really hard to fuck up the elections, delegitimize results they don’t like or commit voting fraud. Pick one or all. These people don’t ever want to leave office.
Those bastards know they could be ousted at anytime, that’s why they’re going to insane lengths to increase GOP presence and wreck the elections like no more different as elections in couple dozen of impoverished countries.
“Please clap” was a joke
“You can’t boo me” was also supposed to be a joke… both are pretty sad jokes I will say.
I find self deprecating humour to be better than pretending to have an ego.
