Zeteo reports from the GOP convention in Dallas, where Trump offered Americans a fake bribe while dismissing the real pain he’s causing them. Some Republicans already have a ‘flight to catch.’

      ahh, can identify him in a meme, but now it’s time to play dumb

      Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

      Is your non-reply to my explanation of your homophobia a tacit admission then? Jumping straight to stalking and personal attacks kinda confirms it.

        I haven’t identified anyone in a meme. My comment got removed because I asked why males get so offended by the word consent. As a non-incel homosexual I personally don’t feel oppressed by my comment. Why are you suddenly bringing anti-Semitism into this are you a Zionist

          It’s a quote about bad faith actors, you like. Like accusing me of Zionism because I called you out on your homophobic remarks.

                I’m not sure if you know this, but Grindr really did crash in that area, in unison with this MAGAthering. I’m not implying that homophobes are all gay, I’m literally pointing out the correlation of Grindr being down and then a large number of them leaving, and you somehow drew homophobic and anti-Semitic remarks from that. You need help when you have that bad of a victim complex

                  Grindr really did crash in that area

                  Source other than the same website cited every time which is based on user submissions? Because it’s a meme and people are incentivized to file fake ones because it’s funny.

                  I’m literally pointing out the correlation of Grindr being down and then a large number of them leaving

                  Is the correlation real, or does it just confirm the narrative you already believe because you are homophobic?

                  and you somehow drew homophobic and anti-Semitic

                  boy you really must have reading comprehension issues if you think that was what the quote meant. Please make sure your source for Grindr outages actually says what you think, you’re priming me to believe that you’re just gonna link the first result that confirms your biases.

                  You need help when you have that bad of a victim complex

                  Ahh yes, everyone calling out bigotry just has a victim complex, classic. Prove Grindr has actually gone down or be silent, troll.
