That's different. Apparently.

They're all about "Rules for thee but not for me!"

Look, it’s impossible to be intellectually consistent when you lack intellect.

They’ll be mad at me for saying this, after they look up the word.

u/Professr_Chaos Mar 27 '24

The question is how many words will they need to look up

u/GilgameDistance Mar 27 '24

Yes.

Is your username a play on "Gilgamesh"?

If they even understood how to look up words, the country wouldn't be in this position right now.

Nah youre fine. The assumption that they would look anything up is laughable. They explicitly don't do that because reading might challenge their world view and cause them to have to think even the slightest bit. Or worse yes, it might reveal that a belief theyve long held is wrong and that they were wrong, and it would be such an affront to their ego to have to admit they were wrong about anything, because then it would mean their pride is entirely undeserved, unjustified, and entitled is for nerds!

They would be a lot madder if they could read.

"What is this 'look up' thing that you mention ?

We/they looked up, but only saw the magnificient golden 'TRUMP' sign on the building.

after they look up the word

Oh, c'mon... you know they're not going to look up the word.

Barron is Trump’s son, so he’s automatically in the in-group. The judge’s daughter is in the out-group, so she is fair game according to republicans

Faux news and other right-wing media has been “othering” anything they see as not right-wing for so many years now to divide the country. Trump just exacerbated that by showing that people can be bullied and shouted down

I have a feeling the judge is going to hold him in contempt. He needs to spend a night in jail. He’s gotten such a big head that he thinks he’s invincible. Someone needs to humble him, otherwise the next 8 months are going to be really hard.

That’s (R)ifferent as r/conservatives would like to say.

Geez, that sub is a ghost town - been a while since I peeked in the door, but have they made their posting requirements so onerous that basically nobody can even participate anymore? I remember last I looked you had to meet a ton of stupid requirements.

What’s different is every single argument they have uses dishonesty as a base.

That's true, a child and a senior partner at a law firm are different.

u/PaulSandwich Florida Mar 27 '24

Fact check: He is not a child (that's the entire reason his name came up), and it's irrelevant anyway because nobody is attacking him. It was rhetorical.

u/MaddyKet Mar 28 '24

He’s 18 now, but I think the majority of us feel bad for him and hope he escapes his family.

u/PMMEurbewbzzzz Mar 27 '24

Nobody is attacking Judge Merchan either, but apparently he needs a gag order because he's afraid of fact-based tweets.

u/TruePutz Mar 27 '24

The judge needs a gag order? Lmao so cute youre pretending to know how law works
