So, if your security staff won't let people leave the room, does that mean you anticipated people wanting to leave the room?

[goaded]

Yes.

No.

I don't understand the concept of a yes/no question

[Ill_made_Knight]

The creature is made entirely of ego. He must be grasping for every thread of credibility in sight right now, having been abandoned by Murdoch, multiple Republican mega donors, and even Ivanka. We will see if it now trumpets the size of the crowd... tsk tsk tsk... would be sad if the creature weren't so despicable. But it is.

[goaded]

The scary part is that some people can't see what's in front of their eyes.

[Ill_made_Knight]

something like a third of Americans unfortunately

[goaded]

Fortunately they're finding out that 1/3 < 1/2.

[Ill_made_Knight]

I hope we can keep enough focus to really push these people down... there is reasonable hope that they will damage themselves further with their internal party power struggles.

@goaded The scary part is that you’re a goddamn foreigner who spends his time opining on the politics and people of a country you don’t even live in.

[goaded]

Or DeSantis will take over the reins for the next 30 years.

[Ill_made_Knight]

Garbage like the #45 led Republican party has effects all oer the world. Why do you suppose the Brits would bother to create this...

[Ill_made_Knight]

He is apparently the next hurdle... we will see... They probably go Abbott if DeSantis fails

[Friendlybro79]

1/3 of the time that's right every time lol.

[goaded]

@Friendlybro79 They're really not.

@Ill_made_Knight Then Costello?

[Ill_made_Knight]

@goaded nah... this asshole... R's always pick assholes

[Friendlybro79]

@goaded I was making a joke. It's a line in a movie. Ha

[goaded]

@Friendlybro79 Sorry. It went over about as well as my Abott and Costello joke.

[Ill_made_Knight]

Yeah sometimes sarcasm etc. can be pretty slippery in places like this... frame of mind I think

[Ill_made_Knight]

Thank you kindly sir

[Friendlybro79]

Hahaha all good.

[goaded]

@Friendlybro79 What was the movie?

[Friendlybro79]

Anchorman

[goaded]

@Friendlybro79 Ah. I've never seen it.

[Anonymous]

It means they don't trust you not to leave a something behind you'd rather not be near.

[goaded]

They were all invited guests, and probably screened on their way in.

[goaded]

'They're Not Here to Hurt Me'

[purplepoppy]

Surely they can't prevent you from leaving without a valid legal reason. I doubt forcing you to listen to a boring speech.

[Sasahara]

Well that depends on the reason why the security staff won't let the people leave the said room.

[goaded]

Worries about fires? Stopping people leaving a room is akin to kidnapping.

[msc545]

Of course, it implies that.

[goaded]

I can imagine Trump: People are going to want to leave, but that would make me look bad. Stop them.

It's like Hitler's Nazi membership number being 555, because they started at 500 and 55 would look sad.

[msc545]

Yes. LOL!
