*in another country *if he loses the election

That's fleeing.

"If something happens with this election, which would be a horror show, we'll meet the next time in Venezuela, because it'll be a far safer place to meet than our country," Trump said to Musk.

#"OK, so we'll go. You and I will go, and we'll have a meeting and dinner in Venezuela."

Cut this shit out, dude. He said it.

Where do you think Venezuela is?

He said that during a conference call that he could do from anywhere, but suggests the next meeting take place in another country instead of calling from his house again?

You already admit he's lying constantly, so why draw the line that he didn't say the words 'flee the country because he loses' specifically and only mentioned a plan to leave the country if he loses? Seems weird.

Except everyone is a sinner by default, so what's the downside? That's the problem with these "temptation" parables. Nothing Johnny could do himself would ever avoid that fate, so why act like it?

If you haven't used any of the benefits since its renewal, you can call to get a full refund. It did the same to me, and I was able to get the newest renewal fee back.

I think it's awesome that the silent vibes were an accident. He just didn't want to have to explain everything while he was doing it and found it easier to summarize in the closed captions afterward. People fell in love with the vibe, so he kept it up.

It took me way too long to realize this was supposed to be a joke because Hg is the chemical symbol for Mercury. Such an easy thing to mishear.

Since I had to look it up:

Since the 2004 election, the term [Swiftboating] has come to commonly refer to a political attack that is dishonest, personal, and unfair.

If your vote can be taken away, people in power have an incentive to criminalize their political rivals.

Unfortunately, in a lot of these cases, they're treating people poorly because they either expect to be or think they deserve to be treated like that too. They justify their self-hatred by projecting it onto other people.

The answer you'll hear is, "Well, no, but SOMEONE has to tell them the truth."

I was more commenting on how even the "normal" part of the story was weird. He didn't even get a few sentences in before it felt wonky, and went off the rails from there.

E: If this random woman hit the bear, talked to him, let him load it up, and then saw the exact same bear show up in Central Park, wouldn't she have reported that? If she wasn't there, how did he know her gender? Neither of those stories make sense to me.
