It doesn’t really screw up the rally, because the “tickets” are just for show. If some pasty-ass dude covered in MAGA gear turns up at the rally sobbing to get let in because he just heard about it, they’re not going to turn him away. The “tickets” are just a data farm.

The no-shows didn’t matter. They did not run out of tickets and they let people in without tickets. The ticketing/registration is just a data mining attempt, as Parscale admitted - that, not attendance, is the real thing the youths borked up. The GOP operation is now going to have to try and manage a signup list…

Remember they have to come up with some excuse to soothe the Large Adult Toddler’s ego. First it was that the rally was too full of people, now the excuse will be that the terror of ANTIFA is the only reason enormous, adoring crowds didn’t show up.

We’re glad you came.

Notice how quickly the argument went from “but rational debate!!!!” to “but she’s right!!!’

I would like to gently push back on the idea that the writer’s friend was necessarily all that progressive. Some “liberals” are people who are more enamored with an inner narrative where they are persecuted, brave truth-tellers who stand against the idiot mob, than they are of really walking the talk of progressive…

This is the game they always play. On the air, they’re hard-hitting truth tellers reporting the facts the liberal MSM doesn’t want to tell you. When it might cost them money, like in court, suddenly they’re just joshin’ and no reasonable person could take a word they say seriously.

There are a lot of bots upvoting her nonsense.

You know she said that because a lot of restaurants “offer” cops free or discounted food and she’s smart enough to want to try and head that off in her Poor Us video.

I think you’re right! My fuzzy recollection of weird-ass synthetic pancake toppings is in error.

I think you meant this comment for someone else?

I haven’t seen the brand in years, but they used to sell it in a bottle actually shaped like Aunt Jemima.

“Law and order” means protecting their rights and their property, not yours.

One person in this discussion is being a snowflake and throwing a hissy fit. You’ll get farther in life if you don’t take every polite disagreement as a personal attack.

They’re taught a really toxic mixture of guilt and hatred about sex, and that the only proper way to have sexual feelings is within a very rigid sex of heteronormative roles where boys and girls are “complementary opposites”. Hating LGBTQ folks is a way for them to wallow in their fascination and guilt about sex in an…

It’s not even about bigotry so much for the evangelical leadership; it’s about having a reliable wedge issue for fundraising, now that same-sex marriage is a done deal and their base is tired of picketing abortion clinics.

His hyperbole is what prevents engagement with his point, as he no doubt intended. It’s a tedious derailing tactic.

Put it back on your friend: how do you keep bad people out of the police department when they get all those benefits?

No, doctors would absolutely cover for him. They cover for each other all the time.

Likely this is not the first time at the rodeo for these fools.
