After Biden drops out, Trump lashes out

He's too old. He should drop out. I'm hearing more and more people say that recently.

Right now trump is almost 20 years older than Kamala Harris. We have never elected someone as old as trump to the office of the presidency. The man can't drink a glass of water.

Can he walk down a ramp unaided? Can he hear out of his right ear? Can we really entrust the government to someone that decrepit?

Biden says it’s ‘time to outlaw’ AR-15 after Trump assassination attempt

Biden is doing this to drive a wedge into Republicans. The gun nuts and the ones that don't care about guns will have differing opinions because now gun violence affects them directly. It's really smart.

Biden looks presidential. Trump has three choices:

  1. Come out against AR-15s, for obvious reasons. This makes gun nuts less likely to vote for him.

  2. Come out in favor of AR-15s. He looks insane to Republicans who don't care about guns.

  3. Trump ignores the issue or waffles and looks unpresidential.

Number 3 is most likely. Of course the correct answer is number 4: propose a competing policy that is nuanced. But that's impossible for trump.

"Pro-life" woman seeks abortion and gets denied

These are people who don't want rights, they want privileges. They don't want equality, they want hierarchy. They can't say "gimme gimme", they say "take America back".

From who? Americans. They want to take what you have. Now that Republicans control the Federal Government they will start to take from each other.

This literally happened during the first Trump administration. Does no Trump supporter remember how they all fought for attention and sucked so badly?

Biden-Harris Administration Launches New Effort to Crack Down on Everyday Headaches and Hassles That Waste Americans’ Time and Money.

DOT’s rule also puts an end to airline runarounds by requiring refunds to be automatic, prompt, in the original form of payment, and for the full amount paid.

This is perfect. I just had to chase a few travel companies for refunds they owed me. The cancellations were the fault of the companies, not mine.

Every single one of them requires you to call some hidden phone number who tells you to download an app, and part of your refund is always disputed. It literally takes hours just to figure out how to complain.

They take your money in 5 seconds, but give it back in "5 to 7 business days".

TIL personal credit scores only started in 1989

Or an immigrant. Or a woman (especially if you're pregnant). Or if you lived near black people or immigrants. Or if you had long hair. Or maybe the local bank manager just didn't like you. These were all acceptable reasons to deny your loan application prior to credit scores.

They literally made decisions based on things you can't control. Banks are now legally prohibited from even asking these things. If you notice, people working at a bank will never ask "where are you from?"
