At the movies.

It would appear that UA theaters solution to falling revenue is to not pay someone to check/scan tickets. Sooooooo why am I paying for a ticket if not one penny is going towards some local kids paycheck? They really don't expect me to be on the honor system do they? And at $11 for a bucket of popcorn, its free movie night. Stickin it to the man since 66 y’all.

Why I’ll never be a government official #358. If I were Jake Sullivan my statement would have been “It isn’t NSA policy to respond to every weird old guy on the internet that thinks he’s the President.”

That actually makes sense, thank you. I wish they could have used something else but i guess “extreme” wasn’t really working! I hope we can reclaim that word for the truly weird.

Not really loving that the word "weird" is becoming synonymous with "unstable mis-educated transphobe racist white male supremacist"

I used to like that word. Why can't we just call them shit heads?

@JolieSaboteuse
Loving that “golftits” is a thing.

And some yob was on fox saying “russia made the deal because they know golftits is gonna be president and they dont want to have to deal with him…”

@peeppeepcircus
Greatly appreciate you saying this - I said pretty much the same last night and was told "can't happen...illegal..." There are people who still think the GOP is playing by the rules. I maintain they've had 4 years to plan, and they aren't going to go down quietly.

Happiest of birthdays! My brothers are both Gen Jones, and I grew up around those exact experiences.

@Tacitus_Kilgore
Wouldn’t that be a hoot?

@mcfate
Just because i remind you of past history, thats not condescension. (You have GOT to start giving people some slack, buddy - you’re the most condescending person I know on here that I haven’t blocked yet). This is their plan. Who steps in as president while this is all being fought out in court after jan 20? Sorry if you think i’m being over the top but this is very much the plan to take control of the government.

@mcfate
These are the same people who signed fake electoral certificates knowing it was illegal. They don't care. And they've had 4 years to get their ducks in a row.

@mcfate
I direct you to the period between november 8 2020 and jan 20 2021. SCOTUS heard a trump election fraud case in feb of 21. Also the bush/gore election, which was decided by the SCOTUS only 6 weeks after the election. You think THIS supreme court wont rule in favor of trump regardless of how ridiculous the case is? Also- MAGA clearly is not concerned with the DOJ or the will of the people. They aren't playing by the rules.

@TheAbbotTrithemius
No. I mean not certify specific districts where election deniers run the election boards and kamala wins. There are enough of those on swing states to cause mass chaos.

We have to assume that the GOP has already pivoted to plan b: not certifying the vote in key red districts and forcing a supreme court decision. Theres no way this mega-schmuck win the election after today.

I'm actually bored. He is boring and tedious. He's a weird old man on a park bench talking to nobody in particular.

#politics #trump #NABJ
This is fucking ridiculous and infuriating. He's just repeating the same things over and over again about immigrants and black jobs.

#politics #trump #NABJ
He just said that Kamala "was indian and then turned black."

Now he's kissing Faulkner Harris' ass. And she asks "why did you come here today?"

He goes right into his bullshit about immigrants taking "black jobs" and he defines that as "anyone that has a job."

He is self-immolating right in front of my eyes.

#politics #trump
First question was about his inappropriate comments about blacks. He went on attack immediately, telling the panelist she is "rude" for asking the question. "You invited me under false pretenses and you were half an hour late". It's combative out of the box. A shit show that will get progressively worse.

@carmen
NABJ has partnered with Politifact to do real time fact checking (that announcement brought cheers from the audience). Shithead just walked on stage.

If I had oven baked fried chicken at 1120 - you can have a bacon-cheeb at 1045. I highly endorse these indulgences.
