“We are going to do something that I will say is slightly controversial but it shouldn’t be. We are going to indemnify policemen and precincts and states and cities from being sued. We want them to do their job. Our police and law enforcement has to come back and they want to come back and they want to do their job. And we are going to indemnify them so they don’t lose their wife, their family, their pension, and their job. We are going to indemnify policemen and law enforcement. We are going to tell them to get out, we love you, do your job.” – Trump, speaking last night at the New York Young Republicans Club gala.

And yet millions of people still want to vote for him! It's baffling!

That's because they think it'll only apply to "those other people" that they don't like. For example, with police brutality, the white, straight, Christian right thinks the police will only beat "black thugs" so it's perfectly fine in their book.

Cite your sources!

SOURCE: 01/06

Academia notwithstanding, common knowledge doesn't generally need to be cited unless it includes statistics. Asking the guy to cite his source for that statement would be like me asking you to cite a source when you claim that water is wet. It's just kind of obvious, you know?

Guess my joke wasn't "kind of obvious"? Crud.

I did eventually get it, but you might have been better off saying "Jan 6" instead of MM/DD format.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah, makes better sense that way. 01/06 means something to me though. Got the PTSD merit badge and all. And that's not a facetious comment. Can't watch the videos, can barely glance at a pic, can't even think about it except in terms that abstract away the reality.

When my Pilipino wife asked me about it (she wasn't here at the time), I cried and yelled and cursed. Babbling like a madman trying to explain that day.

And that's all I can talk about ATM.

Also,

"I thought he was going to do good things. He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.”

[-] F_Haxhausen@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

They want to vote for him because they agree with him.

It is not baffling in the least.

They think they'll be the one with their boot in someone's face.

Not the one being "put in their proper place"
