Customers tend to view quality more holistically than that, though. Not a lot of people are going to flip their conception of product quality on a single change, but will after a long series of changes. Once a company gets that reputation for poor quality, it's not as simple as reversing the last corner they cut. It's a hole that takes a lot of changes to dig out of. More than most companies are willing to reverse.

I'd call them weird like you would the ultra fundamentalist Christian old guys that go to college campuses and yell at people. It's not weird in a good way. It's just fucking strange. Like something is legitimately wrong with them.

Bud, you're literally parroting Trump's faux-naive explanation on what his words meant. But ok.

Feel free to address anything in my post with substance. Tell me that it's a lie that Trump said he'd be a dictator "for just a day." Or that he actually didn't try in multiple illegal ways to overturn the election. Or that he didn't spend hours doing nothing while his colleagues begged him to stop the assault on the Capitol.

If I'm repeating lies, go on. Show me.

Why do you believe Trump when he keeps lying to you? The eagerness to trust the explanation given to you by a literal convicted felon fraudster is astounding.

Probably because he has literally claimed he will be a dictator (for one day only, wink wink). And probably because he actually attempted, in a number of illegal ways, to not count the last election so he could remain in power. You know, like a dictator.

Look, if this was literally anybody else I'd be willing to use a more charitable interpretation. Call it a gaffe at least. But Trump should have burned every last ounce of benefit of the doubt that anybody has for him the moment he abandoned his colleagues in the Capitol so he could see what the violent mob would do.

We spent the entire 2020 election going "Oh Trump doesn't really mean it like that." Until he did exactly what he fucking said he would do. Why are we doing this again?

To be fair, they haven't stopped using hard language either. They released a statement after his "you won't have to vote ever again" rambling with very direct warnings about how dangerous he is and has been. "Weird" is just another line of attack, hoping to cut in a way that might resonate with some more than the (imo rightful) high stakes talk.

My understanding of the ruling is that, no, a law cannot do this. The ruling is mostly a separation of powers argument. Basically, if the president is not above the law then that means that Congress can override the Constitution by writing a law that, for example, makes the President's constitutional duties illegal. Therefore, the president is allowed to officially do anything he wants limited only by the Constitution.

Obligatory: this is not an endorsement of the ruling and IANAL. It's an awful ruling and terrible for the present and future of our country. It's a violation of primary ideals of democracy and it needs to be overturned ASAP.

Knowing how Trump has played up his assassination attempt at every opportunity.... He absolutely would want to bring attention to any damage to his ear.

I don't really care one way or another about whatever drama is going on about his ear. I'm just saying, I don't think he'd choose to use makeup to cover up any scars on his ear.

That's so gross. Which websites though?

To be fair, for all we know you're 19.

That's true BUT casual/subconscious racism and sexism is extremely common in American culture. The fact is that there is a double standard for women and minorities that most people hold to at least some extent. It's been studied time and time again that there are things that white men can do that are viewed negatively when done by a woman/minority. And that's going to affect this election.
