Oh, you have no idea. Robinson actually filed the lawsuit he threatened and it is a joy to behold. Can you say “Streisand Effect”? Sure! I knew you could!
Reading Dom's article gave me a hypothesis. These "Town Halls" are just excuses for TFG to have indoor rallies that are small and not have the press point out the lack of butts in the seats. Cause it is a town hall! Not a rally! Never mind that the only people there are Trump fans! it is a Town Hall, really!
Meh. I dont believe this is close at all, I just dont. Abortion ballot questions, early voting numbers, that lump of rancid lard losing his mind. Its not close, but maintaining the fiction of a close race serves msm, and his campaign, since he can claim fraud later.
idk about that. Not doubting the Dems who tend to not take things for granted, but I wonder if the GOP would be cheating so very hard right now if their internals showed them with a shot.
And they are. Even Trumpkin tried to pull a last minute purge.
One thing is for sure: With all the rampant voter suppression, including but not limited to Dan Patrick raiding latino homes, Georgia tossing out results it does not like, and multiple states "purging" their voter rolls, ya know, out right cheating, should the GOP win, it will be all the Democrat's fault.
I've seen them [customer-accessible panic button], but they were not the kind that would shut off a single pump. They basically shut down the whole station.
Customer-accessible shut-off or not, the definite prudent course of action would be to let the attendant know so that they could shut down that pump. They definitely have the capability to do that [from the central control console].
If you're feeling brave, walk up to the pump and put your hand up in the slot that the nozzle sits in when it's waiting for the next customer. That stops the gas flow to that one pump, but it also puts you closer to the Idiot.
In this instance, shutting down the whole system would not be an overreaction. This guy was endangering everyone in close proximity to the open-storage fuel in the back of his truck.
Are you talking about the accessible safety cut-off? Even if they shut down every pump, as Lawyers, Guns 'n' Money said earlier, that would not be overreaction here.
At the central operator console, they can turn on a specific pump for a predefined dollar or gallon amount, and they can turn it on such that I can pump an undefined amount* and pay afterwards, so I assume they can turn any pump off at will as well.
* (or perhaps a defined amount clearly exceeding the capacity of the vehicle and/or any portable vessels it might transporting)
The lady informed the attendant, who called the cops but did not immediately shut down the pump. Fail.
Now, oddly enough, you CAN toss a lit match into a pool of petrol and it won't ignite, not that I would advocate demonstrating that in this scenario. The gas spilling on the ground was a major hazard, I don't need to say.
Of all the fan boys fanning Trump's grundle and fanny his fanny, I would imagine Mike Johnson and Lindsey Graham would be among the first to get Robespierre'd during Trump's authoritarian regime, should that ever come to pass.
Lindsey especially. Trump holds grudges and well, we all saw him on 1/6 get up there and be almost a normal human for a hot minute. Which was mean at Trump.
They wouldn't be the only ones. A lot of the adjacent nazis who are helping the FELON today would be Robespierre'd because they could get the FELON "disposed". I suspect JD Vance might be one of them.
A reference to "Nuremberg 2.0" by one of the party leaders became a bit of (but not big enough) thing in the British Columbia election. As I speak, we are still in a dead heat awaiting recounts, absent ballots etcetera.

I kinda figure anyone actually working a service job like McDonald’s fry cook would find the bizarre Drumpf stunt a bit of an insult at best even if it weren’t so gratuitously staged. You really can’t put some old asshole like him backed by the greedy and wealthy and defended by a high calibre private security service and cameras on him 24/7 and film him playacting doing that job and have it be anything remotely like their experience. Drumpf and his people are shameless manipulators and grifters and embarrassingly out of touch, and seem to have piled on additional absurdities, but it would be at least a bit of a farce pretty much however you do it. There’s just all kinds of problems with it. And in the real conditions of economic inequity that prevail, the power employers have versus low wage service workers, and given who Drumpf actually is, it becomes something like the employment equivalent of wearing blackface.
But, then, look at why he obviously actually did it. It’s not because he or his sleazeball backers give a shit about service workers. It’s because Harris actually did do that job he’s aping once. And he personally fears that people will see this, get intuitively that she is actually more likely to be on their side (and of course, she actually is, for this and for so many other reasons), and he’s petty and resentful, and he wants to profane this. So he sticks his flaccid dick in the deep fryer yet again.
I’m really mystified what the actual point of this whole issue is. It seems an awful lot of effort just to add in another generic “shes lying” talking point. So why is this such a big deal to him - and to others, like random trolls and Don jr? Plus, it’s so easily rebutted by common sense - everybody had menial summer jobs, and nobody puts it on their resume. What if she’d said she’d cleaned houses over the summer? Or worked at Target? Why are they going so all in? Is there something I’m missing? Plus the whole point of this elaborate staged performance is so he can say “she’s lying” - which he’s already said jillion times.
I feel like I kinda get it. It’s a huge tell, I think.
The whole Trump schtick is I’m a victim too, just another commoner with you against the ‘elites’. Sure I made good but I’m still just one of you.
It’s complete bullshit of course. It’s a gross inversion of reality even. He was born rich and serves the wealthy. While she and her party really are much more traditional center left make government serve everyone.
And the fact that Harris really does have working class experiences and they don’t undermines them, frightens them. They fear and hate her for a host of reasons. Woman. Black. Really did make good working hard. Really did work at McDonald’s. She’s real. They’re a bizarre, poorly written fiction.
So this is any liar fearing their veil is slipping. This why they are so weirdly obsessive about this. If people see clearly how full of it they are on this, see the actual reality, they fear an enormous impact.
Yup, that and not caring about how the actual workers view it. Which is of course a common theme in privilege, the ability to not care, and not spare even the slightest thought to what others may feel.
All of which I concur. None of yesterdays or todays or tomorrow's idiocy will make one iota of difference, however. His base loves this shit. Just like the crowd standing behind him as he was yukking it up and having a grand old time going on about Palmer's package. They cannot be embarrassed or shamed. Everyone else couldn't possibly loath the fuck more so we're back where we started. It's MAGA amusement and the more decent America moans and bitches the happier they are.
My recipe!
I boil 4 c water with 1c sugar to make hummingbird nectar.
Hummingbirds migrate South, c'ya!.
I make the ice tea with an ice tea bag in a 12c drip coffee maker (strong!).
I add a cup of bottled lemon juice to the hummingbird nectar (strong!).
Pour both over lots of ice 50/50.
Still too strong? Splash of water!

Oof, that fucking guy! Apparently he thinks sticking to his "I did none of it" story is wise
Oh, you have no idea. Robinson actually filed the lawsuit he threatened and it is a joy to behold. Can you say “Streisand Effect”? Sure! I knew you could!
I was going to Google that, not familiar, but it sounds just like buttah

Trump voters: “he’s going to protect us from all those gay homos.”
Also Trump voters: “there’s nothing gay about him telling the crowd about Arnold Palmer’s huge cock at a MAGA rally.”
“Trump’s Pennsylvania
Closing Argument Is Literal Junk,” Harris’ campaign said in a statement.

I wonder where they hides the busses that bring all those supporters to these town halls?
Coachella apparently
Meh. I dont believe this is close at all, I just dont. Abortion ballot questions, early voting numbers, that lump of rancid lard losing his mind. Its not close, but maintaining the fiction of a close race serves msm, and his campaign, since he can claim fraud later.
The internal polling from both campaigns show it as a very tight race.
idk about that. Not doubting the Dems who tend to not take things for granted, but I wonder if the GOP would be cheating so very hard right now if their internals showed them with a shot.
And they are. Even Trumpkin tried to pull a last minute purge.
I dont think they get shared widely but maybe.
One thing is for sure: With all the rampant voter suppression, including but not limited to Dan Patrick raiding latino homes, Georgia tossing out results it does not like, and multiple states "purging" their voter rolls, ya know, out right cheating, should the GOP win, it will be all the Democrat's fault.
new registrations and donations have also been more Dem heavy

I find the veracity of this video suspect for a number of reasons.
In the end, Dude lost a significant fraction of the petrol he dumped into that thing. Economic anxiety my asscrack.
Honestly, the most likely explanation is that this dude had a mental breakdown.
Everybody knows that you use a rubber boat when you have to contain so much fuel.
Does nobody know that gas stations have emergency switches?
I've seen them [customer-accessible panic button], but they were not the kind that would shut off a single pump. They basically shut down the whole station.

That’s a very good point. Risking a catastrophe, clearly.
I saw comments on that tweet asking for that, and I am like: "never seen those in Europe, and also not in the US".
(I would assume though that the cashier inside should have such a switch, they should be able to stop a pump, like immediately, right?)
I'm pretty sure, yes, they do.
Yeah, one can find a lot of photos of such devices. Never noticed them before though ;-(

They don't particularly care for her either.

I like that analogy. Not even the equivalent of the Undercover Boss "reality" show.
