OT: American Politics

I predict that as the inevitability of Trump being wiped out in the election starts to hit home, Republicans are going to align into 2 camps:

1. Replace Trump at the convention with someone who isn’t a convicted felon
2. All-hands-on-deck to corrupt and steal the election, democracy officially over

Most likely they won’t be able to coalesce around anything, Biden will win in a landslide, and Trump will grievance screech his way to the 2028 nomination (possibly from jail).
Something tells me Trump will have shuffled off this mortal coil by 2028. He may not even last until the election in November the way he's looking lately.
 
I don't think people quite understand trump still.

In his mind, only suckers and dummies do things by the books.

Following the law means he's a sucker.

Paul Manafort said only losers pay of their debts. So he’s a enthusiastic deadbeat. It got complicated, however, when he owed money to Russian gangsters with a propensity to leave people in shallow graves.

As for Trump, he has an iron clad zero sum mentality. If you are gaining, I must be losing. Mutually beneficial exchange doesn’t exist.
 
I am just now dealing with the bullshit Canadian system for the first time and being gaslit by Porter about it. I intend to exhaust every avenue available to me to get the compensation to which I am entitled, but fuck is it gonna be a damn chore.
Good luck, godspeed. Make us all proud. I certainly got outlasted when I tried to deal with an issue in the early Covid days.

after 30 minutes on hold I was able to speak with someone who fixed the issue with my VIPorter account and at least gave me an email address I could reach out with my concern.

the previous rep told me that their online complaint system was down and I should just wait for it to be fixed to submit my claim. she had no timeline for when it would be fixed, and no way of notifying me once it is. and of course when you're online and trying to submit a claim, there is no indication that the system is not working. they're just deliberately wasting their customers' time with a system that does not allow you to submit a claim.

but if you want to complain to the tribunal about it, you need proof of written communications with the airline. and with their online system not working, there was no way for me to communicate with them in writing.

anyways, I just emailed a pdf of the complaint form to their customer service email. if I don't hear anything in 30 days, off to the Tribunal I go. and once they delay me exorbitantly, off to small claims court I go. likely to be a saga. but I am stubborn.
