I commented this elsewhere:

Shep Smith has often stood out as the closest thing FOX news has to a decent human being. I often ask how it is that he hasn’t been let go by the network, and the answer I always get is that he knows where a significant number of bodies are buried.

She said something to the effect of, “the president is defending our flag and our anthem.”

A fellow dev of mine works on a really popular (read: top 10 on steam) game, and is on Twitter a lot. Even when he tweets really benign things, the first comments are some variation of “fuck you, fix ur game” or “why are you talking about xyz when you could be doing abc in the game bitch.”

What, Trump? Care about brown people in need? Come on now.

Why are they so ignorant though?

For real, how much do you have to suck at your job to lose it to an immigrant? Someone who not only had to be better than you at your job, but also had to overcome racial and cultural barriers along the way.

When you look at these polls, you have to remember that when they ask “is he uniting the country,” “the country” to them is “them, their friends, and everyone they know personally,” which is white people. Using that metric, he is absolutely uniting his base—against everything that is actually America.

I have been asking people for a few weeks now a hypothetical question:

Yup. Our fearless leader is, by nature of the candidacy he ran, the things he chooses to say now, and the life he has lived, basically a walking threat to global security.

Shitheel NK does not terrify me.

“The absurd reality that the person like Trump, a mentally deranged person full of megalomania and complacence, the person who is chastised even by American people as ‘commander in grief,’ ‘Lying King,’ ‘president evil,’ is holding the seat of the U.S. presidency, and the dangerous reality that the gambler who grew…

Well, it was nice while it lasted Splinter! Would have loved to have gotten out of the grays before the U.S. was destroyed through nuclear war, but no worries. Some things just don’t happen, which is fine.

Which is weird because there’s heavy trans subtext to the Matrix what with both of the directors later coming out as transgender and the book Fight Club was based on was written by a gay man who was mocking toxic masculinity. Something I bet the “fans” you’re describing would blow a gasket over.

I agree with you, though. I think one of the sides of the Internet is people feeling like they own shows or people because they can openly comment on what they want and what is/isn’t working. Or that they can force a show’s hand by sheer SM protest. It doesn’t help that there have been some things that have been…

One of the primary criticisms leveled against Rick And Morty fans is that they mistakenly valorize Rick as a sort of uber-nerd, a shit-talking asshole who’s too smart to abide by normal social rules. Rick is always right, and when he isn’t, he still comes out on top, probably with a catchphrase and an episode-ending…

Don’t miss our special: Colin Kaepernick & Chelsea Manning: why the firing squad is too kind.

Precisely. Last time I got too confident I woke up and Trump was president.

Will John McCain live to see the vote? Will Rand Paul once again lose his spine?
