falling asleep in Trumps defense wasnt as bad as Hillary passing out at the 9-11 ceremony in 2016.
I was waiting in line to checkout as I was grabbing a breakfast sandwich, the news was on the TV when he udder his opinion and I just couldnt hold my tongue! I responded when you fall asleep in a trial for your freedom? I am sure you should be awake & aware of what is going on? Then I told that person Hillary had been sick and was wearing a flack jacket and Im sure in Trumps situation, if he was not up all night on Truth Social complaining about everything there was to complain about then he could have stayed awake since it was only the first day of the trial, plus isnt funny how the past is always brought up to defend Trump?
Of course that person didnt respond to the common sense of the situation.

(1,497 posts)how correct barbtries' comment is.
As in, right you are, buy that man/woman
a beer, etc.
Hillary appeared faint and a diagnosis of pneumonia was later revealed by her doctor.
I could be wrong of course.

(2,191 posts)I recognize that look. The man had a HUGE crying jag prior to going to court. You are right, reality is sinking in for him. He is no longer the author of his fate and he is now grasping just what that means.

(11,428 posts)waiting for takeout just minding their own business and some repuge will have to spew some racist or "let's go Brandon" shit out LOUD. And before they can finish their sentence you know who these people are.
Story;
About a year ago I was waiting for takeout at our local Mexican takeout. Must have been about a dozen of us, a mix of skin colors and everyone minding their own business and such and all you can hear is the cooks, when this lady standing next to me speaks up and says, "isn't it great we can all just get along.", people just turned and looked. And right away I had the feeling there was going to be something bigoted coming next. Without missing a beat I replied,"I know, racism is an ugly disease and people need to get a handle on it." And after that all you could hear again was the cooks.

(47,517 posts)Hey, maybe if they hear the truth often enough, a small part of it just might stick. I've seen it happen. Rarely, but it does happen.

(16,428 posts)Who knows how this landed on everyone else there? The OP says there was a variety of skin colors represented in that line. I'd be willing to bet some of those people really appreciated that remark from imanamerican63, and others were given something to think about.
And imanamerican63's comment might have stopped that woman from saying something really awful. That's definitely worthwhile, whether the woman learned anything herself or not. Everything we do affects others, often in ways we know nothing about. I don't believe moments like this one are ever a waste of time.
PatSeg
(47,517 posts)Very good point. If we are speaking the truth and are not harming anyone, then the words are not wasted. For any likeminded bystanders, it is nice for them to know they're not alone and perhaps it may encourage them to be a bit more outspoken as well.
