I don’t have anything fancy going on with the tablet. Like it’s not tracking the bike or my workout or anything like that. I just use my watch for fitness tracking and put up either exercise videos or a stream or something to watch on the tablet.

To each their own, but I think that’s giving him too much of a break. My saying “he generated it” was perhaps a poor choice of words so I’ll clarify; I think he 100% knew that this was a fake image, knows who generated it, and was complicit in spreading disinformation.

What I don’t believe is that some random person he doesn’t know said “hey look at this”, and then he got excited and started sharing the image. He wrote something to the effect of “I accept!”, and as dumb as the man is, I believe that he knows damn well that endorsements don’t happen like that.

Fair enough, someone probably helped him. What I don’t believe is that he wasn’t involved at all and the pictures just landed in his lap.

Why the fuck would a Kennedy need to sell drugs?

Ever been around trust fund babies on a university campus? Plenty of them like recreational drugs, and sure as shit aren’t meeting up in a seedy bar bathroom to buy a baggie of dubious quality powder from a local dealer. I don’t think it was so much a need as it was a market opportunity.

FTA:

“I don’t know anything about them, other than somebody else generated them,” Trump told Fox Business correspondent Gary Trimble after his campaign event in Asheboro, North Carolina, on Wednesday. “I didn’t generate them.”

Hmm.. why do I get the feeling that he generated them?

Yep. I’ve been doing this for a while now with a cheap old no-name bike and an ipad. Poor man’s peloton ftw.

Certainly not, but it does result in hilarious headlines like this one, and you just KNOW that he’s seeing them and it’s got him fuming.

For sure. The other charges against this particular person include: a DUI, a skipped court date, a hit and run, and failing to register as a sex offender. Everyone is entitled to a fair trial, but if I’m speculating, this guy doesn’t have the best record of character and I don’t think it’s far-fetched to believe he made credible death threats on social media.

Putting aside my opinions of trump and fox, I do believe that threat was legitimate. I was watching a few different news channels last night and while idr which one mentioned it, they did say that the secret service had cut his Arizona presser short due to a credible violent threat. Some non-fox new outlets are also reporting on the arrest of the suspect:

Yeah, it turns out civility, like tolerance, is a social contract.

If you don’t give it, you sure as hell don’t deserve to get it.

• the urinal shitter (exactly what it sounds like, he was never caught)
• a notable/well-liked student athlete was suffering from depression and sadly took his own life
• the cool young teacher ended up being a pedo and his victim was a 15 y/o girl he was tutoring
• someone called in violent threats to interfere with notable school events (sports games, tests, etc.); this happened multiple times and then we never heard about it again, nobody in my circle ever heard anything about who it was

They could have also shut the fuck up at any point previous, but we’ll accept “now” as well.
