Yes it's nice, good product and quality food. The prices are pretty high on even basic things like veggies/meat/bacon etc. I mean they want $4 for celery stalks. That's just....

The store in insanely unorganized. The water is in the opposite area of the soda/tea/water/juice. Ok? The chips are in the regular section, organic, ends of isles, random displays , in the deli, throughout the store. The key point here (they do this with MANY prodcuts) is you can't find that particular size/product in any part of the store.

For example. Large bag of simply pop. In the chip/popcorn section? Nope. In the organic chip/popcorn section? The small bag, yes. Try going by the coffee section to find the display. (Scumbag Wegmans meme?)

Low calorie/carb wraps . In the wrap section? Nope. In the "healthy" wrap section with dozens of other similar like products? Nope. Secretly hidden by the authentic food refrigerated section in a small, unassuming cubbie? Yup.

Don't even TRY finding wine by region or name. Just forget it and ask. I don't "hate" Wegman's, but it can be brutal for a get in and get out type of guy like me.

I can't believe I just put that much effort in. I keep going back so that says something. FYI, this is the one in Princeton. Others may not suffer the same fate.

So the wind sweeping trump’s hair video pretty much confirmed the description Ivanka was said to have given in Wolff's book, right?

If 40% of society supports Trump it’s time to get off a sinking ship

At this point I'm beyond trying to guess what will/won't stick and what will actually penetrate through the hierarchy up to Trump.
This. The whole post, but particularly this. And I wish the media and other influential voices had a better understanding of this phenomena and stopped playing right into their hands. With every new scandal they keep pounding away and try to assassinate his character on a daily basis like this will finally be the one that tips the scales where everybody recognizes what a dbag racist incompetent president we have. You either realized this from day 1 or you never will and his base doesn't care! It just emboldens them and makes this pos stronger! This is totally an us vs. them that can only be won by a thorough crushing at the polls in 2018 and then again in 2020. We just gotta hope he doesn't nuke the planet first.

You answered your own question, imo. Doing nothing wrong makes it easier to approve.

That was an "I confirmed it by thinking about it" situation, the video's just fun evidence.

This is the quote from the book:

Quote:
“She often described the mechanics behind it to friends: an absolutely clean pate—a contained island after scalp-reduction *surgery—surrounded by a furry circle of hair around the sides and front, from which all ends are drawn up to meet in the center and then swept back and secured by a stiffening spray.”
Sounds like it's more or less describing what is in the video.

So the story is "We had consensual sex and he paid me $130k." Or is there some bomb shell that hasn't been said about it already?
02-14-2018 , 03:13 PM
It is really amazing that Trump has to pay anyone to not disclose sex info about him. Christ, If I had sex with Trump you wouldn't get any details if my parents lives depended on it. Mortifying.

If you look at the polling, this isn't just volatility within the margin of error, he's been trending up since mid-December. Look at all the things that we think should move the needle negatively with a huge segment of the population: ****hole, "very fine people", hiring wife beaters... His approval ticks up or stays the same after each.

His biggest negative downturns occurred when the GOP went after Obamacare and during the public discourse about the tax plan. Most people are selfish, don't pay much attention and have short memories. When the headlines are about stuff that would negatively affect them, they react. Otherwise, they don't. Trump gets a boost from his deplorable base when he says crazy racist/sexist stuff, but most people don't care unless they are IN that group.

It's depressing, but I think that we've seen this play out enough in the approval ratings to make it a pretty sound theory. As long as Trump and the GOP don't actually DO anything politically that impacts most people, his approvals are going to keep creeping up as long as the economy does well. His ceiling is probably around 50%. (He peaked at about 48% shortly after inauguration with about 10% unsure.)

Remember that Trump managed to get elected without having to resort to appearing in blackface or speaking in an exaggerated Chinese accent at any point on the campaign trail. So he still has some arrows left in his quiver.

My guess is his semen has a mysterious pea-green color.

How much would a confirmed golden shower from a porn star ding his approval ratings, 1-2 percent or so? At least until people see that extra 16 bucks in their paycheck, then the ratings go right back up!
02-14-2018 , 03:49 PM
stormy daniels could announce that she and the president both have AIDS and republicans would still open-mouth kiss his ass
02-14-2018 , 03:51 PM
honestly how is she not in a presidential parody porn yet? you don't even have to parody it, just recreate the scene with sharks on the tv and forbes magazine; then full-on banging a big fat old guy with a yellow wig
