Woman pees on floor of Verizon store after refusing to wear mask

The responding officers collared the woman and found several items that had been stolen from a nearby Dick’s Sporting Goods store in her car, according to the outlet.

Stole from Dick's Sporting Goods?!? That's it. I retract my previous enthusiasm and disavow completely.

They banned me cause I'm dyslexic and thought the store was called Sporting Good Dicks.

You know, if Obama was still president, Republicans would probably be even more fervent in not wearing masks as a dumb political statement. Imagine how Republicans would've reacted if Obama said: "We should all be wearing masks to protect each other" - we'd get responses like: "Obama is literally trying to institute sharia law!! He's trying to take away our freedoms!!"

OccultHawk 07-22-2020 07:15 PM

If Obama were still president the American death toll would probably be about 10% of what it is under Trump. His administration did a fantastic job controlling Ebola. There would still be weird outliers refusing to take basic measures but Obama wouldn’t be throwing fuel on the fire. Spreading the virus wouldn’t be a normalized patriotic rite of passage under anyone but Trump.

Yea, the anti mask sentiment during a pandemic is probably the dumbest culture war this country ever engaged in.

Watching that recent Chris Wallace interview with Trump was surreal even though I should be used to it. Just the complete refusal to engage with reality is difficult to imagine in any other president.

Like another president would try to explain away inconvenient yet irrefutable facts where as Trump just denies them.

Not only did he refuse to engage with reality, he refused to accept the softball pitches from Fox ****ing News until even Chris ****ing Wallace was like, "Hey, you know what? **** you."

Yeah, but did you see how fast Trump could tell a lion from an elephant on the cognitive test?

Nobody recognizes elephants faster or better than Donald Trump, nobody.

He is a quotable machine for sure. I liked when he talked about Joe Biden crying for his mommy to take him home.



I'm telling you jwb, if they actually debate, the entertainment value will be through the roof. It would make up entirely for the possibility of no NFL season.

Meh... There's no way it's going to be better than the 2016 Republican primary debates. I still find Trump entertaining from time to time but to me his schtick got old a while ago.

He really peaked in 16. "I like the ones who don't get caught." That was peak Trump.

It’s still pretty mind blowing he got away with that. That was a transitional moment in American history.

I remember in 2008 thinking it was real sort of novelty and source of entertainment to watch Ron Paul go on his old man rants about how America's foreign policy is harmful on the stage of the Republican primary debates and the wild outraged reactions that would draw.

Little did I know in less than a decade we'd have a guy dissing POWs and accusing his opponent's dad of possibly being involved in the Kennedy assassination.

You might be right. Jeb Bush was a much more fun punching bag than Joe Biden though. When Trump would call him "low-energy" or a "complete mess", everyone could laugh.

If he's too much of a bully to Joe, people will likely be sympathetic to Joe.

He got in some good digs at Hillary too.

HRC: "It's an awfully good thing that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country"
DJT: "Because you'd be in jail".

He shouldn't have attacked McCain for being a POW, he should've attacked him for being a war-hawk, an old man perpetually scheming up wars for young men to die in.

Bernie Sanders vs. Ron Paul would actually be a worthwhile debate.

They'd probably just repeat their talking points to each other. They're too far apart economically to have a meaningful exchange imo. A presidential debate is no place to get into the weeds. It's about slogans and theatrics.

I didn't specifically mean a presidential debate - I was thinking something similar to what Sanders/Cruz did. You might be right in that there wouldn't be a meaningful exchange on economics - I suppose it depends how they structure the debate.

But what they agree on might be illuminating.

I think there’s still a lot of denial about this virus even on here. Multiple infections and no vaccine are both very likely. Think ten years ahead about that. How many times do people think they can survive it? We’re only a few months in. Ain’t nobody know, I’ll still admit that but I’ve yet to hear a really honest discussion about the fading immunity and how staggeringly ****ing bad that is. Right now it’s like people are like oh no I might get punched by Mike Tyson when he’s sitting in the other corner. You get in the ring with Tyson he’s going to punch you as many times as it takes. Do I want to be last in line to fight Tyson? You betcha.

That black dude bagging their groceries should be able to tell those Nazis to bag their own ****ing groceries without any consequences.

I respect their commitment to social distancing. Better to let her lay there until the paramedics get there than breathing your death breath all over her.
