Thank you for this, it will make a fine addition to the "response to the groupchat yapper" folder.

He looks confused about what the sound was

It's funny to me that the Trump ticket is pushing this they are for the everyman and against elites...they are the elites. You can't get more elite than a billionaire and silicon valley VC guy.

"You childless losers probably spend all your time rescuing cats from trees!" Vance reportedly yelled as he ran off stage, mascara streaming down his face.

I was saying boo-urns

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago

I just boo him in general, but glad to see others doing it as well.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago

I was saying "boo vans".

This makes total sense. Couches are often the item that catches fire which then causes these fire fighters to risk their lives.

This man walks in and everyone knows all the friction he has applied to god knows how many couches. He's a fire hazard.

I genuinely thought that Vance was the one booing firefighters based on my first impression of the title lol. That would have been especially delightful
