Tricking people works the same as it always has: gullible people will believe anything that's preceded by "Hey, here's something the government/lying media/your teachers won't tell you…"

Isn't that pretty much how crying works though? How long before someone starts crying do you expect to be able to tell that they're going to? It's not like it's something you take a run-up and build up to.

If that whole (sigh) Harambe thing taught me anything (which is debatable), it was that a frankly shocking number of people get behind the idea of allowing children to die to teach their parents a lesson.

So… Alex Jones doesn't broadcast an unhinged, rabid show? I'm kind of interested to know which part of the story you reckon you can cast doubt on. Go on, see if you can.

Sick burn, bro! I oughta give you a high five for that!

… stays there.

"Black President Steals Hat From Child. Film at 11."

Must… nitpick… stuff… about… fair use… sorry…
Titles do come under copyright, but just the title on its own is almost always fair use. Making it the title of your own work is one of the few times it isn't. (It's also probably a trademark violation, I dunno.)

The hats were giveaways? Well isn't that just typical millennial entitlement. Imagine the cheek of that kid asking the President to sign a hat for free, when he already OWED him a goddamn hat?

"Hey, everybody, he loves that I threw his hat away! Isn't that great? That's great. We love that throw - it was a good throw too, did you see that? Great throw. Your hat got a real good throw there, kid. That was special. Well folks, we've had fun. Get this kid off the stage now."

[EXT. Roof of Trump Tower. A massive box of MAGA hats lies on its side, gently spilling hats as Kellyanne Conway furiously shovels them over the edge.]

Yeah, but that kid will also probably have to see the shit-eating grin on the face of the guy who caught it when he sells it to Martin Shkreli and Buzzfeed does a story about it.

Having trouble securing loose items in the house? Squeaky door hinges driving you up the wall? Want a snack with the puritan appeal of trail mix? Wedding Cake™ has got you covered! Wedding Cake™ is a revolutionary foodstuff that also doubles as a doorstop, bookend, paperweight, and a thousand other uses around the…

So what, you just sit there when Total Eclipse of the Heart comes on?

I think the flag for Americans is a bit like the Queen for Brits. People think we're all obsessed with them, which isn't true. Most of us are vaguely fond of them but don't really care. But there's a small minority who care hard enough for the rest of us, and those people are kinda scary.

Isn't it also ironic that the motto "In God We Trust" (also added in the '50s) has the exact opposite sentiment behind it as "E pluribus unum," the one it replaced?

Nice disingenuous use of the same word "expectations" to describe two completely different things as though they're the same. Would you say that the civil rights movement was about black people getting pissy because white people "didn't conform to their expectations"?

Exactly. They're used interchangeably because one of them doesn't have a meaning of its own.

Given that DNA reassignment surgery doesn't exist, what would "transsexual" mean, if not the same as "transgender"?

When it comes to gender identity, we distinguish between sex, which is a socially neutral biological observation, and gender, which is a social construct. One is entirely empirical; the other entirely metaphysical. Race makes no such distinction, and I'm not quite sure how it could. So to say that people should be…
