I feel like I’m 12 years old again at a busy public pool, and just watched the lifeguards clear everybody out.

Anyone want to walk to Sev with me and buy a cyclone ice cream stick?

    A sound is audible, yeah. I can’t believe I’m using this argument but anyone in that room full of people could have farted, and it feels like the people really championing this have never watched another one of his pressers - he ends them abruptly like this all the time, the body language of the people behind him is always weird (they’re big enough freaks that they’re willing to be filmed standing behind trump), there’s really nothing abnormal (for trump) happening here.

    If you want to believe trump shit his pants sure, you can do that - but the willingness of people to latch onto this and insist that it’s true (in the face of so many reasons to be skeptical), even presenting red-string-on-board evidence like in that youtube screenshot, should worry you. If they’re willing to accept this with no evidence, what else are they accepting with a similar degree of scrutiny just because it’s something you want to be true?

        I think you’re dismissing my well founded concern over the eager acceptance of misinformation because you don’t want to see it as a problem to make fun of your enemies - sure, it’s fine to make fun of trump, but even in this thread people are going well beyond just making fun of him and are acting like this is clearly established fact.
