Today, for instance, [Bush] emerged from 11 years in Washington’s choicest executive mansions to confront the modern supermarket.Visiting the exhibition hall of the National Grocers Association convention here, Mr. Bush lingered at the mock-up of a checkout lane. He signed his name on an electronic pad used to detect check forgeries.
“If some guy came in and spelled George Bush differently, could you catch it?” the President asked. “Yes,” he was told, and he shook his head in wonder.
Then he grabbed a quart of milk, a light bulb and a bag of candy and ran them over an electronic scanner. The look of wonder flickered across his face again as he saw the item and price registered on the cash register screen.
“This is for checking out?” asked Mr. Bush. “I just took a tour through the exhibits here,” he told the grocers later. “Amazed by some of the technology.”
Marlin Fitzwater, the White House spokesman, assured reporters that he had seen the President in a grocery store. A year or so ago. In Kennebunkport.
Some grocery stores began using electronic scanners as early as 1976, and the devices have been in general use in American supermarkets for a decade.
Way. Bigly. Watch football, it’s bizarrely depressing.
Well, yeah. I mean. We’ve done this before. It was fucking taking crazy pills every goddamned day. It finally slid into a global pandemic where people passed around an invisible mystery disease that suffocated people to death horribly and we still don’t know how it fucking works.
We knew it was going to be a fucking shitshow THEN, I have no idea how anyone can sit here today and be anything close to surprised or shocked. Referring here to the corporate news sewers.
Demented fucker. Goddamned corporate sewer news, can you just fucking say it repeatedly before the goddamned world burns to a fucking crisp?
But but but - money is free speech! The crooked bastards who decided Dredd Scott told me so!

It’s not the people with morals that are a problem
Right. That’s a perennially popular justification.

“Mind yahr own bizness!”
Who could have foreseen such a demented, corrupt, shitshow?
Chicken Trump Always Chickens Out
Can’t wait for his “press corps” to lob that one at him.
If people outside the US could vote, we wouldn’t have this problem.
If people inside the US had voted we wouldn’t have this problem.
Right, lefties?
“during his days as a pundit” is so unnecessary.
151·1 day agoOh definitely always. Most of the “women” referred to here learned it from their parents who learned it from their parents etc. and so on.
And probably all of them have a “crazy” aunt who ran off to California with some guy and they haven’t talked to her in years.
Nothing new under the sun. These women will either not learn anything or will not do anything differently. Except for the ~10% who do. And those will be fought over by the various factions of the left to ensure the omnipotence of the republiQan fascist agenda remains firmly in place.
Oh that! Ha, no he lied.
