The Atlantic is known for being fanatical about fact checking, it's been confirmed by other independent news organizations including the AP and Fox News, we've witnessed Trump say very similar things in public on tape, credible people central to the story have not refuted it, Trump has already demonstrably lied (saying he called Melania back home, she was there with him) in his refutation of the story. If you're convinced that this story is untrue it's because you are stupid and have been fundamentally broken by the Trump GOP.16 points

If that holds as a larger trend across multiple polls, I'm voting Biden even if he continues saying he'll veto universal healthcare.11 points

Fuck you. Fuck you. FUCK YOU! As the grandson and son of veterans, you're lucky you're just a cowardly chickenshit cunt on the internet. One fought through the Pacific, occupied Japan, and spent 3 years in a Korean POW camp. Had an appendectomy done by a fellow POW medic with no anesthesia, a pen knife, and baling wire. My father was KIA in Vietnam while I was still a suckling. He fought and died not because of dirty hippies, but because of cowardly politicians too afraid to stop an unwinnable war. They sacrificed everything so you could be a complete and total shitbag on the internet with zero accountability and no meaningful repercussions. You are like those same politicians, so full of yourself and your supposed intellect that you fail to realize you are the traitor who shits on the Constitution while others did their duty to the Nation. If we ever meet in real life, I'll put my boot so far up your ass you'll be tasting the caiman for years. Blacklab or Immamac can give me a timeout, but you better understand Fozzz that your cunt mouth is writing checks your spineless fucktard weasel dick can't cash.11 points

No kidding. We were at the big box home improvement store yesterday while husband was doing recon for a project and so I wandered around while he was busy. Saw a couple with a very large Trump flag pricing particle/plywood boards presumably to attach it for something more durable. The wife was apparently tasked with holding up the flag while her husband was lifting the sheet of wood to see if it would fit. Her arms weren't long enough to stretch the flag and they seemed frustrated. I considered pointing out the aisle with the tape measures.......but no, it just wasn't worth it.9 points

I am constantly mystified by how few people in a land that prides itself on individualism actually think for themselves (and that goes for both ends of the political spectrum). Jesus, people, if you don't piss off your own side as much as you piss off the other side, you're not an individual, you're a cog.7 points

Such a valuable contributor to the forum. That's exactly it. With BLM, I became increasingly uncomfortable with the posture of "them" demanding things from "us." They are us. If a large segment of us are offended by a statue or a song or whatever, we should get rid of it. If a large part of us want the statue or song or whatever, then revisit later and see if you can build consensus. Something similar is going on with abortion. "We" are deciding if "they" have the right to do something. I've never been comfortable with the notion of the state or me or anyone reaching deeper than the skin to impose its will. I'm not sure that I'm being clear, but I'll press on. The power structure (we white men) are naturally disposed to think that we are the ones who ultimately approve or deny petitions by those who aren't us. It's not my place to do that. It's not my place to determine what keeps black people or women down. It's their place to do so. Religious objectors to abortion are free to make their case and offer alternatives. They're not free to stop a citizen from doing as she pleases. It's been interesting rooting out some of my own assumptions over the past several months. I hope it makes me a better citizen.7 points

I was on 360 earlier passing mopac and an ocean of trumptards were lined up to turn onto north bound mopac. I have a Biden-Harris sticker an MJ sticker and a UT emblem on my bumper along with some anti trump shit. I’ll take it off the second we vote this cocksucker out of office. Anyways, traffic was slow enough to where I was driving by em slowly. So I just rolled my window down, put my arm out the window and just flipped the bird to all of em. I was looking straight ahead the whole time as these Douchebags were screaming at me. Felt like walking around the fair after beating OU. Very therapeutic7 points

This brings back a great memory. Was visiting my brother in AZ and was driving by some MAGA rally BS. They had the honk for Trump signs. I honked and honked even more as the crowd got whipped up in a frenzy - then I threw them the bird and called them dumbasses. They were so fucking braindead they literally had no idea how to react. They just stared back as if someone had shot their dog.6 points

If you are an 18 year old tennis player or gymnast and not good enough to play professionally or compete in the Olympics, I’m quite certain a free education is far more than anything you can get in the open market for you playing the sport. Considering your other market opportunity to get paid to play is, well nothing a scholarship, even though not technically currency is above market value for what you are bringing. For most student athletes, the value proposition is skewed heavily in favor of the student athlete.6 points

My uncle was one of those living skeletons the Marines found in Tokyo. His carrier based bomber was kamikazied out of the sky off Iwo Jima. He survived bailing out into the ocean only to be picked up by the enemy. He survived torture, beri beri, malnutrition. He saw the beheading of randomly selected fellow prisoners, American officers. He returned to Japan after the war to testify on behalf of guards who were kind to prisoners. He was one of the coolest, smartest people I ever knew. I had the honor of attending his inurnment at Arlington a few years ago. Donald Trump is not worthy of speaking his name.6 points

Have you got an old teacher or professor who may be long gone, but they taught you so much that you hear their voice in your memory while you're working today? I sure do. Mr. Richard Brough, my Graphic Design instructor back in the 80s. Mr. Brough was a throw-back to a Woodie-Guthrie America. Sometimes he'd look around, stop the class, and teach us how to make hand-painted signs, so if we hitched across the country we could start on the Atlantic, never miss a meal, and by the time we hit California we'd have money in our pockets. I am pretty sure that's what he did when he was young. In WW2 he painted murals for the troops, and individual watercolor portraits of recuperating wounded for them to send to their moms. "You want to get good at watercolors, RD? It's easy-- paint a thousand of them!" He did a stretch at Disney as an animator, never talked about it much. At that time, computers were just coming in, and students who'd gone off to work at ad agencies (usually in Atlanta, where they'd dress like Robert Smith of The Cure and tear it up on Apple IIEs) would let us current students know that we were not getting the current know-how. I didn't care. Mr. Brough would show us all kinds of basic techniques with brushes and pens, hand-embossing, silkscreens, stencils, all of it done so old-school punk-rock that we could have figured out how to make a living in between hopping trains. Apple IIEs are a distant memory and I still make sales using old techniques. He'd get to know you, and tailor projects to your personality. My friend Tony was patient, so he'd give Tony one thing to work on for a long time. Me, I flitted. "RD, your work is good if you do it in less than 5 minutes. If I give you an hour, you ruin it. So do 10 things, 5 minutes each." How should we price our work? "How much do you need?" "Give them a price, and wait. If they say 'OK', say, well for this much more, I can mat it. If they say 'OK', then you say and for this much more, I can frame it. Keep going until they stop saying 'OK.'" On job interviews: "Don't show an employer anything you didn't enjoy doing. That'll be the one thing they hire you to do." On Art Editors: "An editor is paid to edit. Put one obvious wrong thing that's easy to fix in every illustration. When the editor jumps on it, take it back home, fix it in 15 minutes, wait a couple of days, then take it back." If he knew you needed money, jobs would appear. Maybe they'd be art jobs, maybe they'd be wax-on wax-off clean the dojo, I mean studio, jobs. Last week I was finishing up a little painting that was OK, but lacked something. I remembered in the 80s turning in an illustration that was the same way, B work. Mr. Brough took a heavy marker and jagged it down one side of the person in my illustration. BOOM it looked like a magazine cover. Back in the present, I took a brush and black paint and added the same savage touch to the painting. BOOM again. It sold that day. Thanks Mr. Brough.5 points

Here are my guesses and feeble attempts to make sense of it: It feels good in general to be around people who think the same way you do. More specifically, being around people supporting the same cause you do makes you more optimistic about the outcome of that cause. Those people associate owning a boat with wealth/class, so in their mind they are making the point that people who work hard and do well support Trump. They like antagonizing people. It is their way to protest pandemic-induced restrictions.5 points

My grandfather volunteered to serve in WWII but was denied because of a terrible leg injury. He played football when people wore metal cleats. Someone cleated him so bad in his calf, he wore a brace for the rest of his life, it was a miracle he didn’t lose the leg. He got his pilots license and flew transport planes across the Atlantic the entire war. My uncle was a Scout during the Vietnam War. He was tasked with going behind enemy lines by himself in the middle of the fucking jungle and gathering intelligence. He’s never spoken a word about his experiences in Vietnam, even when pressed. He is such a loyal and good man. I couldn’t begin to describe the honor I feel to have him in my family. These two men are better than I will ever be. Fuck Trump5 points

My father came here from Germany in 1964 with his mother. He was drafted in 1967 and served in Vietnam. As best I know he did not obtain his citizenship fully until he was over in Vietnam. He was awarded the Bronze Star and never once told me why he received that commendation. He passed away in April of 2011 and my mother received an American flag from the honor guard at his burial. My dad was proud as hell of being an American citizen. One of the lasting images I have of him was in May of 2006 and we were at the cemetery in my hometown burying my uncle who was also a Vietnam veteran. My uncle lost a leg in Vietnam due to a mortar round (It was found out to be friendly fire in 1983). My dad, who had his eyesight stolen from him permanently in December 2001 due to a doctor's mistake that caused a stroke and heart attack, stood at attention as they played Taps for my uncle. I stood and watched and shed a few tears watching my dad salute that afternoon. Like the rest of you mentioning parents and relatives my dad wasn't a loser or sucker. He got no deferment nor would he have asked for one. My dad is buried down the hill from my uncle and near his mother, my Oma. There are countless other veterans in that same cemetery who served who did not do what our big, dumb president did which was being a coward. He was not a conscientious objector like Muhammad Ali or John Lewis. He was just a coward. He has been a coward his entire life. It should not have taken his denigrating words about those who served to show people exactly what he is, but here we are. The dam needs to fully break and Kelly, Mattis and other people who heard these words directly come together as one and let the cult know exactly what they are supporting.5 points
