Twice apparently - in March in Eau Claire WI (I really hate how much this NYT article is painting this as a negative but I'm having trouble finding another one - every video I can find of the town hall he did there is only partial) and "skipping around like a dipshit" back in October
There's still some edge cases floating around. Some laundromats, parking meters, using a shopping cart at Aldi, older vending machines, bottle deposits, probably a few more but that's off the top of my head.
I mean, I was in high school when the cell phones were largely flip phones and that one nokia brick that could probably survive being run over by a tank and at that point the rule was "nobody gives a shit if it's in your pocket/in your bag and on silent, but if I see it or if it's making loud disruptive noises from wherever you've got it it's going in my desk until the bell rings". That still seems a reasonable middle ground in my opinion. That way, it's still accessible enough in the event of an actual emergency but not usable otherwise.
Honestly I've been wondering since the debates if he had a bad UTI when he crashed and burned. It's not uncommon for them to cause confusion or even delirium in that age group and I seem to recall a lot of vague comments from his team saying he'd been 'sick'.
I'm not trying to disincentivize that, I'm being honest about it in a forum where it's highly unlikely they're gonna read it. How many regretful Trump voters who voted that way because they don't pay attention do you think hang out in politics threads on lemmy? I'm not gonna turn any away if I run into one in real life but if I'm being sincere, I'm also never gonna be able to fully trust them.
The reality is, most people don’t make educated decisions at the polls. It’s knee jerk reaction to the economy
Yes, and that's childish and fucking moronic. Do better. I'm admittedly one to over-prepare in general, but I genuinely cannot comprehend why anyone would CHOOSE to not know anything about what they're voting for. "Oh, I don't like following politics". Well, tough shit dumbass; I don't like feeling like I'm stuck in the geopolitical equivalent of a high school group project with the asshole jock who can't be arsed to do his portion of the fucking presentation but here we fucking are.
The situation is dire enough that no, I'm not saying we should turn these folks away. We need all the help we can get. But I'll be lying to them when I tell them I forgive them. I don't think I ever truly will.
Hey mother nature, this octogenarian asshat who has lived on McDonald's for so long that he probably bleeds movie theater popcorn butter pretty much just called you a pussy. You gonna take that?
Lookin so much like an old leather sofa that Vance is probably gonna start trying to chat him up soon.
