Yeah, that's not really what's going on here, but it's worked for a few conservatives I work with who were bitching about this whole thing yesterday afternoon.

This is exactly how I explain why Tom Brady absolutely had footballs deflated to Pats fans, Brady and other QBs wanted the rules changed to let teams handle the balls. They hate when I say it and have no comebacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only get in trouble for it if you're especially egregious or opposing teams don't like you enough and complain about it. Unfortunately for the Pats, they were egregious AND nobody likes them.

Chairslinger Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 1 hour ago, CitizenVectron said: This was always going to happen, that's why I never bought the idea of Trump slowly fading away and DeSantis sliding right into place. It was a fantasy predicated on a false impression due to Trump's relatively low visibility right now(due to his social media bans and it not being election season). It presumed that Trump would just go down without a fight. Which, again, was never going to happen. The funny thing is a week ago the GOP was terrified that Trump announcing a run before the Nov. election would hurt them due to bringing out the anti-Trump vote in the midterms. Now they are convinced fricking pipebombing FBI headquarters is their path to electoral success. It's a weird turn, but I think the reason is pretty obvious. They are a party addicted to rage, grievance, and a persecution complex. Counter punching used to be their strategy, now it's a reflex. They just can't help themselves, just like Trump.

SaysWho? Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 10 minutes ago, skillzdadirecta said: This is true. Republicans have basically decided Trump is above the law. I saw a take that Republicans view criminals as a class of people, not in an action of breaking the law that makes you a criminal. That’s why they’re all about “just comply” until it’s one of them. Then it’s victimization because they’re not really criminals. I’ve argued with several Trump supporters who have big beautiful mugshots and they whine about criminals. 1 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
