Jeb's please clap makes SOME sense: he was prompting he was done speaking and it was fine to clap.

Its still bad (either have a hype guy, one of those APPLAUSE signs, or trust the audience). But this is waaaaaaaay worse. jeb

Jeb's please clap was dunked on so hard because he said it in such a beleaguered way

[-] neo@hexbear.net 30 points 2 days ago

I think you can tell he was being tongue in cheek about it, and I am willing to bet the next few seconds after the clip would've been the audience of graduates laughing. The framing made it seem like he said this while getting booed.

It reminds me of when Obama joked about drone striking teenagers at a White House Corespondent's Dinner. This is admittedly less ghoulish.

Specifically he did the weird possessive dad thing about his daughters warning any boys that think of dating them that he commands the drone program. So double gross.

Oh! I remember! Such a classy president

[-] christian@hexbear.net 10 points 2 days ago

Yeah this was a real letdown.

[-] EveningCicada@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

It's RT, they're obviously gonna spin it uncharitably

[-] segfault11@hexbear.net 51 points 2 days ago

maybe it also happened in the past couple years and i just didn't notice, but why does it look like this year every graduation speaker decided now is the time to talk about AI

[-] buttwater@hexbear.net 61 points 2 days ago

Every commencement speaker went to their ai of choice and asked it to write a commencement speech

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 44 points 2 days ago

The best part is that he’s cunning enough to try to use humor to act like he’s above it but because he is a charisma vacuum and he looks like a baby with a beard nobody will take the performance seriously.

clown-to-clown-communication “why is nobody taking me seriously”

"Hahahaha I own you!" was the vibe I got there

Sometimes, the boos are not enough

One of these kids could have spared a shoe or vape to throw at him

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 31 points 2 days ago

Didn't they just do some law that lets military members carry guns, or does the air force academy not count because it's not a military base

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 32 points 2 days ago

Yes and yes

I looked it up and they don't even let the cadets have missiles

That's a fuckin rip

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 27 points 2 days ago

They make you wait a long time to get to blow your arm off with a gernade and get that camaro

game of thrones ass bit

edit: unfortunately but also highly expectedly it seems that the Air Force academy cadets were not cool enough to actually boo the vice president and he was saying this as a joke

"In the land of the booed, the man with no claps is king!"

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

I love how it took MAGA only a decade to become even more openly pathetic than Jeb!

They fucking speedran that shit

[-] plinky@hexbear.net 32 points 2 days ago

ai will be putting kid killers out of a job, of course they would be annoyed

[-] Athena5898@hexbear.net 34 points 2 days ago

Boo this man

"And any man who must say 'I am the ~~king~~ vice president' is no true ~~king~~ vice president at all"

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago

Gotta say it like Donald Lannister: "And any man, I'm a man, JD Vance, well I guess he's also a man, that's certainly what his wife tells me (chuckle), well if he's, if he's gotta say he's the vice president, I mean, he's told me, everyone's told me he's the vice president, I got him that job you know, being the vice president, but if he's, you know if he's gotta say he's the vice president, then, well I don't know, but a vice president shouldn't have to say he's the vice president"

[-] buttwater@hexbear.net 31 points 2 days ago

Can only get away with a line like that while giving a speech at the war crime academy to all the aspiring war criminals

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

Critical support to JD Vance if he'd only said "At least I don't kill kids"

[-] 9to5@hexbear.net 20 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Vice President ? More like Scheiß President. It rhymes

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 23 points 2 days ago

i wish i could hear the booing in the video

[-] Tabitha@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago

dennis-stare I'll have you know JD Vance is a 5-star man!

[-] The_Filthy_Commie@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 2 days ago

''Sir, a second Jeb has please clapped the building''

[-] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago
