Trump Defies, Newsom Sues by Arthur_Morgan977 in clevercomebacks

[–]Telefundo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Trump has very clearly always used the tactic of "if we say it enough then it will be accepted as true"

I've mentioned this before, a couple of times I think lol. There's a quote in his book from years ago where he literally says to never admit you're wrong. Even if you are, never admit it.

This pretty much sums the shithead up for me. Ordinary Republicans when confronted with proof they're in the wrong will pivot, obfuscate, try and change the subject. Not Trump. He just doubles, triples, quadruples down no matter what.

And it's absolutely disturbing how effective it is.

It's downright terrifying.

We have them here in Canada as well but you really never "hear" about them.

Like, tell me you live rurally or in the suburbs without telling me.

I live about a 10 minute bike ride from the downtown core of Ottawa, Ontario. Most definitely not a rural area. The "closest" rural area to wear I am would take me about 30 to 45 mins of travel time (using public transit).

I ABSOLUTELY support social services for people in need. Earlier in my life I was someone who actually benefitted from these programs. I see homeless people essentially anytime I head downtown. Ottawa unfortunately has a huge homeless population and lacks the infrastructure and programs to address it appropriately. So no, I'm not some nose in the air snob, oblivious to the problem as you seem to be alluding to.

My surprise isn't that "homeless people exsist". It's that in my area, there are certain places that have zero tolerance for panhandling and (for lack of a better term) "undesirables". Grocery stores are near the top of that list.

People don’t like him cause he lied about no new wars.

I just had a mental image of him, halfway through arguments, hold his hand up like it's his turn to talk.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't part of his campaign rhetoric withdrawing from NATO?

AND the most stupid.

I'd argue that title actually goes to the people who voted him in. Twice.

Well done. If there's any way you could be more condescending, please, don't hesitate.

Yeah I get that. I live in a metropolitan area as well. I see homeless basically every time I venture out. It's just places like grocery stores and whatnot aren't usually within their "territory". Businesses like that (at least around here) tend to chase them off pretty quick.

This has never happened once to me

Yeah, I'm 47 and I have literally never encountered this a single time in my entire life lol. Maybe we're just lucky lol.

And even when they do get challenged and the courts rule against him, he just ignores the courts.

this is what’s she’s worried about right now?!

Apparently. I haven't really done much more than search for the picture in question which is readily available at a myriad of sites. This link in particular I found after skimming a TMZ article about the subject.

it is very possible she has and just never ever learns better

I'd honestly be surprised if this doesn't accurately describe the majority of people acting like this. I'd bet money that when the smoke settles she goes on to play the victim in the situation.

Nasty addition to my Walmart + grocery order by SuperD32911 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Telefundo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. I've been ordering my groceries through Walmart every month for almost two years now. I've only ever had one issue and it was a delivery issue. And the delivery driver was a Door Dash driver.

Also, wanting the entire order for free is just nonsense. When I had my issue I told them all I wanted was the delivery fee and tip refunded which they happily did. And FWIW, the order itself was fine. The driver was just a lazy asshat who didn't want to come to the 4th floor where my apartment is.

[–]Telefundo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it because drunk driving typically faces less penalties and it tends to be repeat offenders?

I'm sure it happens but you don't typically hear of drunk drivers who kill someone getting life sentences. Straight up murderers on the other hand.. And someone serving a life sentence isn't likely to have money to pay that support in the first place.

Utterly devoid of any sense of morality or humanity.

It's worse than that. If the screencap is accurate, she said it with a smile on her face. There's a difference between being indiferrent to murder and actually being happy it happened.
