Never got around to that one, worth it?

I don't think it's at his expense? The idea is that the deceased and his widow were in love and would value each other more than money:

‘This is so nice, and I appreciate it, but I’d much rather have my husband.’

whereas he claims that some people in the audience would be thrilled to trade their spouses for money.

Hate trump but I think RawStory is misrepresenting this as they do much else.

Here is the reporting for the Guardian, a mpre legitimate source of news:

Then, recalling a meeting with Comperatore’s widow, Helen, he made a risky attempt to find humour in the tragedy. “So they’re going to get millions of dollars but the woman, the wife, this beautiful woman, I handed her the cheque – we handed her the cheque – and she said, ‘This is so nice, and I appreciate it, but I’d much rather have my husband.’ Now, I know some of the women in this room wouldn’t say the same.”

As dinner guests erupted in laughter, Trump quipped: “I know at least four couples. There are four couples, Governor [Abbott], that I know and you’re not one of them. At least four couples here would have been thrilled, actually.”

I absolutely agree. Almost every RawStory piece I see is pretty garbage and the exact type of nonsense and same wanton disregard for fact that infuriates me about the Right's media ecosphere.

My regular stream site started having issues tonight, so this was kind of miraculous timing! Hopefully one of these works!

I think it's some 3 million dollars they're going to spend on these? At least it's nice to know they will certainly be spending a similar amount on Qurans and whatnot /s

Awesome, much appreciated!

Fair enough! Thanks!

So say I'm dumb and don't know how to find a fork like that...

Therapy.

Your analysis of your own interactions seems wildly off. I would talk to a professional. You seem fairly young so if your parents have extended benefits, they may still cover you.

I haven't tagged you. Sorry!

Yup! I'm using connect and if I click the three dots at the bottom right of a comment, one of the options is "add user note." I find it super helpful!

Thanks!

Admittedly, it helped that I already had OP tagged as "worrying incel."

Your last post is a TIL once you have peed yourself, public transit has all sorts of unspoken rules.

I cancelled prime when they first introduced ads. But the delivery fees without prime, damn. I think I'd pirate shows if I got prime but I'm pretty sure that just makes them think they should invest in fewer shows. And damned if, pre ads, prime didn't have a lot of my favourites (boys, invincible, end of the expanse etc.)

What a ramble. I'm just torn.

Okay, just so I don't get annoyed and be boomery about it, what is the new incorrect usage?

You don't have 48 lats?!? Hit the gym bro.

It's more that our reacting to everything is exactly what he wants.

An independent or swing voter (the kind whom the Left needs in order to win the election) is not going to read this headline and think trump is actually going to institute the Purge. Instead, they'll take this as "the media blowing trump out of proportion again. Pro ably can't trust them, better do my own research." Which plays directly into donald's hands.

It's like, did you ever bug a younger sibling? The easiest thing to do would be something minor that would make them over react and mom and dad would get pissed about the over reaction and forget the original issue. In this case, donald is poking the media so they over react and announce donald echoes fascist rhetoric or whatever else, putting off independent voters.

Very little as I disagree with the things continuing on.

We made it through the Cold War, but as any student of history will note, barely.

This has, I think, given us a false sense of confidence and it's like the drunk driver who claims that because they survived last night they will do so again tonight.

I don't 100% know things will go wrong but I do know that many different countries are A) pursuing nuclear weapons B) entering very politically unstable times and C) are just about to start hitting serious consequences as a result of climate change.

America went from the richest country in the world to the richest country in the world, freaked out and elected trump. How crazy will other, nuclear armed, countries get when food and water become serious issues?

There's of course a good chance we pull through, drunk drivers tend to survive or the issue would've self corrected long ago. But I dislike being forced to participate in a global game of Russian roulette.
