Watched a sickening drama unfold at a local grocery store the other evening.
I was in the check-out line waiting my turn when a young woman walked in carrying a 12 pack of soda pop. She was crying and she came up to the checker.

She was in a panic because she had been in the store earlier and accidently picked up the wrong flavor of soda for her husband. She asked the checker if she could return the soda she had and exchange it for the right one. She explained that she would simply buy the right one, but her husband goes over the receipts of everything she buys and she will be in "big trouble" if he finds out she mistakenly wasted money. She was shaking and really in a panic.

The young checker seemed not to know what to do, but fortunately a manager saw what was going on and came over. She walked her over to the soda aisle and let her put the 12-pack back and take the "right" one. The young woman was still crying and shaking and emotionally thanked the manager.

I've seen this kind of thing before; a woman living in fear of her husband.

Merely witnessing this made my stomach sink, made my skin crawl.

This is the kind of control MAGA men want over their wives, their children, their neighbors, their country. They want people to be so afraid to cross them that they will kowtow to their every whim. That is not manly, that is not patriotic, that is not Godly. It is simple Might Makes Right bullying, and it is disgusting.

500 for this never happened. Plus bonus points for throwing in "MAGA MEN"

What a sickening person to waste time to post such outrageous obvious nonsense. And the rest of the retards over there believe it and eat it up.

Are we sure the 'husband' wasn't a former "Command Sergeant Major" in the Wisconsin National Guard?

I see encounters at grocery stores are now back in vogue at the DUmp bouncy factory.

I pick up the wrong item lots of times. I go back and ask to exchange with no fake sob story and the checker says sure go get it.

This. Never. Happened.

Did any DU-member notice the canyon Midnight Writer leaped in this ? Taking it at face value - DU-fiction is legendary, but abusive spouses, male and female, do exist - Midnight Writer ASSumed (or so crafted the fiction) that the abusive husband had to be MAGA, without supportive evidence. In the real world outside of the Prog-iverse, spousal abuse is not peculiar to any political POV or religion.

Borders went under over a decade ago and B & N has closed a lot of its brick-and-mortar stores, so turning-books-around and moved-conservative-books-to-Fantasy-fiction-section :bouncies: have lost their arena.

I'm so near-perfect that I seldom grab the wrong item, but yeah. Go up to the customer service counter or cashier, say "I got the wrong ______," and they let you get the correct item, no explanation needed, no everybody-within-10-yards-sees/hears-it production. Midnight Writer's has several hints that it may be midnight-fiction-writing.

Midnight Writer needs to study what is culturally acceptable among many Indian and Middle Eastern cultures as far as how men treat wives, daughters and women goes.  No need to make up horror stories, just a need to realize that not all bad people are "MAGA". 

Wonder if MW happened to miss the hijab or other head-covering scarf the crying woman was wearing.

None of this bouncy is true, and much of it is projection.  In fact, cancel culture is almost entirely a weapon of the modern left, and is a textbook example of 'perceived might' makes right. Again, none of this bouncy is true.

 But you know what IS true?

Modern day leftists, particularly feminists, insist and demand that responsibility, accountability, and consequences are for those other people, and not for them.

     Odd timing, given that we now know that Kamala's husband is a woman beater.

     In any case, as usual, this did not occur.

Made the observation many years ago that "bouncy tales" are far more prevalent when the libs know they are losing. They largely dissipated during the Barack Hussein 0. years but occasionally reared their ugly heads. Of course, their origin was with the Bouncy Ball herself (link to follow) during the President George W. Bush presidency. DUmmies were constantly grasping at straws that any positive sign for their side they'd rush to the DUmp and post their most recent supposed encounter.

And just because some folks may have forgotten, may I present again:

Bouncy Ball's Greatest Hits

Note: some of the original DUmp links may no longer be available and I don't have the time to check the current validity of all.

Okay, it's been awhile since I've tried any creative writing so this isn't the best, but I've gotten tired of the poor effort put into the current Bouncy Tales. Here's my RE-fabrication of the DUmmie's fabrication...

So a sickening drama unfolded before my very eyes at a local union staffed grocery store the other evening. As I was waiting in line to scan my EBT card a young lady came in cry while carrying a 12 pack of soda. She told the checker that she’d accidentally gotten the wrong soda for her husband. She said that she’d just buy the correct one but her husband checks receipts. She said she’d be in big trouble if he found out she’d wasted his money. She was terrified. You could tell by her fear that her husband was MAGA and was prone to hit her. And not with an open hand like Madam VP’s husband.

I could tell the young checker wasn’t sure how to handle it so I started chanting: Let her exchange! Let her exchange! Soon other’s in the line had joined my chant. Finally, a manager appeared and helped her exchange the soda.

As she walked back toward the door with the correct soda I decided that I had to speak up. I said, “Excuse me young lady, I can tell that you’re living a sad life under the dominance of an orange cultist. Only joy can free you, and only joy is what Kamala Harris stands for. It’s her only policy. On Election Day, I hope you remember to vote for the joy that only Kamala can bring.”

With that, the young lady began crying again, but these were tears of joy instead of fear. Tears shed because someone finally had recognized her tribulations and offered a solution, but she wasn’t the only one that I had touched. Apparently, others in the grocery store had been listening, and one by one they came to the front of the store to toss their MAGA hats and shirts into a pile on the floor. As the last one threw the last hat on the pile, the former MAGAts turned toward me and actually began applauding me. Even a cop jumped out of a potted plant and clapped. One older fellow even came up to me and said that he wanted to shake my hand because I had finally shown him the way. Yes, MAGA does disgust me, but I actually converted some to the light that day.

Cool story, bro!

“They had dinner. She said Doug was very charming, and it was lovely. Then I believe it was between 2-3am, it was still raging, but she was wearing four-inch heels and a floor-length gown, so it was time to depart,” the lawyer said.

“She said there’d been no fight before he hit her. You would have thought it was this fairytale trip.”

She was “completely caught off guard” by Emhoff’s sudden attack, the woman alleged.

“He hauled up and slapped her so hard she spun around. She said she was in utter shock,” she told the Daily Mail. “She was so furious, she slapped him on one side, and then on the other cheek with the other hand.”

All three friends said that the woman tried to leave following the assault, but that Emhoff forced his way into the cab with her, according to the Daily Mail.

“She said she wanted to go back to the hotel without him. But while she was shutting the door, he forced himself into the car, which she did not want.

Are any of these negative reports about the 2nd Gentleman even being reported on media other than conservative outlets? Hell, he knocked up a nanny and now beating up women. Sounds classy and what I'd expect from a liberal.

All that I've seen out of the MSM is them bragging about how he is an example of the new masculinity. Personally, I don't associate masculinity (new or old) with slapping a woman sideways, but I'm an evil rightwinger so what do I know.

He's just following in the footsteps of new masculinity trailblazer, Creepy Joe Biden.

In interviews with NPR, Reade, now 56 and living in California, said the alleged assault happened when she was asked by her then-supervisor to deliver a duffel bag to Biden as he was heading to the Capitol.

When Reade met up with the senator, she said, he pinned her up against a wall and penetrated her vagina with his fingers.

"His hands went underneath my clothing and he was touching me in my private areas and without my consent," Reade told NPR. She said Biden asked her whether she wanted to go somewhere else.

Reade said that she pulled away and that Biden pointed his finger at her and said, "You're nothing to me, nothing."

I brought up Reade in a discussion on facebook in which a "friend" accused me of supporting a rapist. Naturally, Reade was "different and not the same". I told him that it seems like nothing ever is with the left. If hypocrisy was money these people would people would be richer than stock scammer Nancy.
