Huh. Maybe it was just the one I went to in SoCal. I called ahead and was told it would be fine, only to be stopped at the door and told I needed to buy a membership to access the food court. Guy made a big deal out of it. Like dude, I just want to buy a slice of pizza and a Pepsi, chill.
Food court rules have depended on the location for years now. Where I live the rule is typically, if the food court is outside you’re good, but if it’s inside you need a membership. Never knew about the booze rules.
I don’t think Biden having dementia and spewing nonsense is news to anyone. Yes it hurts him and will draw more attention in audio than in text, which is one of the reasons they aren’t releasing it.
“But be better than republicans. Hold your “team” to higher standards than just the letter by someone’s name.”
No. Fuck that. We tried that and ended up with a conservative majority on SCOTUS. Don’t do anything to give Republicans or Trump an advantage. I’m just as disappointed as anyone that Biden is the best candidate the Dems can produce, and that his campaign slogan is effectively “better than Trump”. But I don’t agree with making it easier for Republicans to hurt your campaign just for the sake of taking the moral high ground. Save that conversation for when your opponent isn’t a literal fascist. Make the Republicans work for it. If the transcript doesn’t titillate your Fox News braindead audience then too bad.
“The only reason to hide the tapes, is they make Biden look bad. If he had his shit together, they’d be trying to release them to show people the report was biased.”
But they already released the transcripts. They are just refusing to release the audio. There isn’t new information to be gained. Just an opportunity for Republicans to splice and dice the audio for partisan purposes.
Synesthesia. That or prosopagnosia.
