That’s what it sounded like. A similar situation to what happens on the 405 here.
But absolutely insane people do it when traffic is actually moving. I understand the “my exit is 300 ft away and we’re all stuck”. Understand it, but would still not be that guy.
Absolutely mind boggling people do this when traffic is moving.
This reminds me “nice” cars that do stupid shit because they see a biker. I just want cars to be predictable. I don’t want them to be nice.
I can’t stand the “oh I’ll stop for you when I’m not supposed to at this 2 way stop” cars.
Like, dude. This doesn’t help me. I have to wait and make sure the the car coming up behind you also stops and doesn’t just pass you because you’re being stupid.
And then now there is a car coming the other way and they aren’t stopping (because they don’t actually have a stop sign).
Can you just drive safe and predictable? I literally WANT to wait here until there are NO cars. Not 3-4 cars I now have to hope stop and don’t kill me.
When people do this I literally just get off my bike now to make it obvious I don’t want their “help”. I’ve had too many times where people doing this have put me in danger. I have eyes. I want to wait until it’s clear.
I want to believe that Houston allows shoulder driving during certain hours. I believe you. But I don’t actually want to believe that many people did that.
On a part of 405 in Seattle we have a “shoulder” that opens for traffic during rush hour simply for the fact that people would use it anyway to get to the exit ahead. So they just made it allowed.
I want believe that’s what happened. But probably not.
Trump is a shit stain. But I don’t get why people don’t see that he’s not the only shit stain. These companies aren’t afraid of him. They are supporting the shift to fascism that they chose. So even the most milk toast liberal criticism won’t have a place in that world. This isn’t done out of fear.
Please remember this. Because fascism won’t die with Trump. The capitalist class has chosen it. And they will support it as long as it serves their interests.
Really? I thought it was weak for Trump. He usually is a lot better at forming a bit of a narrative around his lie. He seems a little scared and off to be honest.
I don’t think it’s a turn. I think it’s like you said. They have hard evidence and even Murdock knows it’s better to keep that shit in house. Whoever the source is would have gone elsewhere. That’s not something that gets pushed under the rug.
The source for this clearly can’t be paid off to stay quiet. Going to the WSJ first is absolutely on purpose.
If I had to make a wild guess. Maxwell. Only person that would have a bombshell like this with hard evidence. I think it’s a warning shot too. I really doubt there isn’t more.
Anyone that already hates Trump isn’t distracted by this. If anything it’s only making people that voted for him become more suspicious of him and take criticism of him more seriously.
This isn’t a distraction. This is Trump absolutely failing to control the narrative with his base for the first real time.
Because even MAGA voters are ok with burning down the government if it’s true that our two party system and the billionaires they work for are literally protecting pedophiles. Which I don’t think many people doubt at this point.
MAGA just had the delusions that somehow the sex pest billionaire was on their side.
More likely let it stay in the media and give them boring shit until something else catches peoples attention.
While I agree and understand what you’re saying. I think you might need to understand that that does not matter. The illusion of law and order is being destroyed.
They control the monopoly on violence. The pen is not mightier than the sword. The pen is only mightier than the sword when the pen results in a bigger sword being built.
There is no bigger sword. The fascist control our police, military, and federal agents. And unless the people of this country suddenly gain class consciousness we won’t have anything to fight back with.
You will not win against fascist by trying to appeal to “rights” and trying to get others to “bring back what we had”.
What we had lead us to this point in the first place. We had an illusion of a democracy and justice that was only ever going to last until it’s contradictions could no longer be ignored.
You will not defeat fascist by pointing to their hypocrisy. They thrive because they are here to defend the very systems of oppression that were already filled with hypocrisy and contradictions in the first place.
Yeah. We give the guy who owns 2-3 duplexes the chance to work and return the years of labor he stole from others. His sins can be still be repaid.
But if he resist. Well…
Yeah but I think if we’re gonna give credit we gotta give it to the man that put it into action.
I mean the comment they replied to is literally downplaying the involvement of other pedophiles just as involved as Trump was. It doesn’t matter if it’s using sarcasm to do it or not. That’s the intention.
The entire point people should get out of this is that defending rich pedophiles (much like defending Israel) is a bipartisan issue that both parties will always agree on. Do they spin it differently. Sure. But come the fuck on.
The person doing “whataboutism” is the person that made the initial sarcastic comment. Literally bringing up other sex pests for the exact same reason their comment is making fun of. To compare the sex pests between parties and downplay their involvement by comparison.
You can’t say “whataboutism” when the literal comment your replying to was responding to and criticizing a “whataboutism” in the first place.
