    Wanted to make a comment that he is not used to clasps as the girls he prefers don’t need a bra yet.

      I’m so confused. What’s the mechanism like? How difficult can it be when Biden was able to do it? Is Trump too stupid or too frail to do it? Damn it, I need answers!

        It’s 3 snaps, like a baby’s onesie.

        To be fair, men don’t use snaps - ever. I think the last time I used snaps was on my son’s onesie, after changing his diaper. He’s 27 now, and hardly ever needs a diaper, lbut I could still handle snaps.

        So do you think Trump ever changed a diaper, and thus learned how to operate snaps? Of course not. Just one more example of his profound ignorance of perfectly normal human behavior.

      I have confidence that Trump has never seen Velcro, and doesn’t know how to use it.

      BTW, years ago, we saw a little presentation at Epcot, sponsored by Velcro, and it became very apparent that the entire objective was to convince people to stop calling it Velcro, and call it a Hook & Loop Fastener. Yeah, right, like that’s going to happen.

      If a corporation allows their trademark to be used as the general name of the item, like Kleenex or Band-Aid, they can lose that trademark protection, and then competing companies can call their products by your company name, so your marketing is also helping your competition.

      So Velcro has to be able to convince a judge that they have made serious efforts to protect their trademark, and paying for advertising space at Epcot to do several presentations a day should help a lot.

        We had an Australian colleague back in the 2010s who asked for a band aid during a staff meeting, and everyone just looked at her and said, “Plaster.”

        I’m trying to think what brand names have become synonymous with their product here (UK). It used to confuse me when I’d read American books and the characters wound talk about “Xeroxing” stuff. It’s a photocopier! All I can think of is Sellotape, Tip Ex and Blu tack. I think I’m in a minority by saying vacuum instead of hoover though. How can anyone call a Henry a hoover! That’s blasphemy!

        I think this is all Velcro has to do to keep they’re trademark. If you think about it, there’s not much ends they can do besides the occasional PSA, what are they going to do, sue someone who says Velcro? Besides, I think they kind of enjoy trying to make “It’s a hook and loop fastener!” their new slogan.

    This is more an idle question but does anyone know if you can refuse to be given an award in the military? Like if someone thought they were undeserving, didn’t earn it, or otherwise was contemptuous could they just refuse. Or is this a mandatory fun day type situation where the military just kinda forces it on folks.

    Mostly just curious since as a person I would sooner murder and disgrace myself than receive a medal.

    If Biden or Obama did it, it’d be run 24/7 on every right-wing propaganda outlet And the orange kid-diddler would have tweeted about it 5 times

    I have a lot of experience with clasps by undoing and doing up my partners bras over the years.

    But let’s be fair, that fat cunt wouldn’t have had that type of experience with clasps due to ‘his’ sexual preferences being for very young girls that don’t wear bras, or just grabbing them by the pussy.

    (Edit: bugger, bra clasps and preteens have already been mentioned. Leaving my comment up though, for posterity.)

    Imagine getting the highest military decoration from pedo the hutt.

    Never mind having to find out what it’s like having him paw at you where you can’t see him.
