I suspect he didn’t remember what it was and took a gamble on the reporter’s qualification that Johnson had voted against it and Trump opposed it, rather than sounding uninformed. Otherwise it’s just an extraordinarily stupid thing to admit in this situation.
Thank you! I don’t know wth happened but that line was the whole reason I took that quote and apparently failed to get her response into my clipboard.
Decided to check in on things. She got a chuckle out of me from some of the quotes attributed.
Necheles asked her about the number of porn films she’s written and directed, and said, “You have a lot of experience making phony stories about sex.”
“Wow. That’s not how I would put it," Daniels replied. "The sex in the films is very much real, just like what happened to me in that room” with Trump. She added, "If that story was untrue, I would’ve written it to be a lot better.”
Asked if she’d promised people she’d be instrumental in putting Trump in jail, Daniels said, “No.” Necheles then asked her about a social media post where someone had called her a human toilet, and Daniels responded, “Exactly! Making me the best person to flush the orange turd down.” Necheles asked if that meant she’d be instrumental in getting rid of him. Daniels said it was “hyperbole.” “I’m also not a toilet,” she said.
@MrVilliam@lemmy.world called it saying it would get cringey and gross. The “phony stories about sex” line from Necheles is awful stuff.
There is some absolutely hilarious material in here, were it instead fictional.
First-term state Rep. Roger Wilder, R-Denham Springs, who sponsored the child labor measure and owns Smoothie King franchises across the Deep South, said he filed the bill in part because children want to work without having to take lunch breaks.
“I keep trying to give them lunch breaks but they insist on doing what’s in the best interest my pocket lining!”
And my favorite, also from Roger Wilder:
“The wording is ‘We’re here to harm children.’ Give me a break," he said. "These are young adults.”
Could you imagine the delivery of this line, with just the right amount of pause after “give me a break” and the right expression to the camera if this were said on something like Parks and Rec?
A Republican hoping to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate suffered a setback to his campaign this week after facing allegations that he lives in Florida.
Would that all candidates for public office suffered such setbacks if they were accused of living in Florida.
I’m not convinced that cameras and Nextdoor are having a material impact on the vague idea of “trust between neighbors,” but I admit it’s hard to gauge because I only have my own experience, which exists on a potentially wide spectrum.
I’m barely on Nextdoor and was surprised to hear there’s apparently a pretty common use of it for public shaming. The potential for petty community conflict does seem heightened by some of these technologies.
The childishness on display is surreal. This is a whole-ass nation acting like an unimaginatively smug 10 year old.
Is that a Trump “Tim Apple” reference? I wouldn’t have even noticed if you hadn’t called it out.
