Precisely. Imagine someone doing something to you that you do not want, something that takes away your sense of autonomy, something that humiliates you. You know if you say something, some people will accuse YOU of doing something wrong, instead of your attacker. Now imagine that person has tons of money, and through that money tons of power. You know if you say anything about being attacked, it could hurt that person, and that person will use their money and power to make your life harder. You also know that even if everything goes best case scenario, it will be terribly hard, humiliating, and your personal life (and maybe some of your own behavior) will be out there for everyone to see. Then, think of all the ways it could be a worse outcome. I don’t fault anyone for not coming forward. If I were a target for this behavior, I’d like to think that I would fight, but who knows what I would actually do. I hope I never have to find out.

But he wouldn’t because he has class, honor, integrity, and a sense of decorum. All things of which Trump is devoid.

Does he have a couch? I heard there’s a backroom somewhere that might find it useful.

Is it a record player needle?

We want Dogma back! Let him die and maybe the asshole to whom it goes to will sell to Kevin Smith and we can have it back.

Isn’t that what I said?

You’d think they’d opt for it after the cheaper test popped positive before people lost their jobs or children.

I know anonymous elections are incredibly important, but I’d happily voice my votes in this case to shut down this bullshit.

Year old account, very few controversial opinions posted, a few negative point comments, but we all have them. I don’t think they were trying to troll. Perhaps they were trying to make sense of the situation and just improperly applied the term as an experiment to see if it fit. I didn’t block this one, like I do most people who are trolling.

Not in every state.

It’s a contest and they are required to have terms and conditions–look it up. It’s a technicality and Trump thinks he’s better than us poors, but it makes it legal, not the right thing to do. If there was evidence he never intended to have dinner with them, that would be illegal.

In the article it said that the terms of the contest said that if it did not happen, a substitute prize would be chosen. Then, it said that it was reported a couple (from Mississippi) won it. Those details weren’t confirmed independently, but they probably wriggled enough to be off the hook.

Yes, or embrace being a basement dweller. Or even not care if he called them that because they “are still better than whatever Democrats are.”

Yes, but that kind of rebellion is even more dangerous there.

I get your point, but if anyone goes over there, they’re bringing their underage children, and those children will likely suffer. So, I’d rather them stay and be safe than be right and have them suffer. I don’t wish ill on those hateful people, for the most part, I wish them a clear view of the social, political, and economic landscapes.

Now, the people who intentionally hatemonger for profit, like Alex Jones, I would not be sad if they met an untimely fate.

Yes, Daniel Shaver. It was horrible to watch. I hadn’t heard about the medical retirement or pension. I generally don’t advocate for violence, but if he came to a violent end, I would not shed any tears.

I’m with you. I watched the video of the man who was trying to comply with orders from the police and the officer warned him if he did anything other than what he was being ordered, he would be shot. Then, he was given confusing orders, and was shot when he did the wrong thing. He was on his knees with his hands in plain view when the threat came. There were multiple officers with weapons drawn. The man was sobbing and begging before he was shot. I can’t unsee it. I think it’s important that people see it so others can be held accountable, but not EVERYONE has to see it.

For now.

He can sue, but he won’t win in any sane court.

We still love you. Just keep being you.
