So, I’ve been doing this thing with the Trump people on my facebook page. I very rarely argue with their bullshit anymore, I just politely ask them where they got their information. And it has been really eye-opening: not one single time, across dozens of requests, has one of these folks attempted to back up what

They’re not nazis because they want to honor the Confederacy. They want to honor the Confederacy because they’re nazis. All that “Blood and soil” funny business was kind of a tell.

You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into

I honestly can’t believe it’s gone on this long. Where are the patriots in DC defending our freedom, our right not be ruled by a petty maniac who can’t remember where he left the launch codes?

Same with the French and Germans: they were all part of the resistance in World War II.

but he’s not wrong.

What ideas did you draw regarding these questions from 2049? I really want to know what you think. For me, most of those questions were in the original movie, and I don’t feel this movie really furthered the discussion. As far as the most appealing character being AI - how many human characters were there, really? For

Whataboutism: the false logic that any misbehavior makes other misbehavior magically not matter at all.

Basically makes me think of American Psycho. I expect them to have severed body parts in their freezer.

Being forced out of the company that bears your name... That must hurt. Which is good.

That’s fair enough.

And to think all it took was 20 years of a clear pattern of continuous sexual harassment and abuse.

Since when did anyone believe that leftists/liberals can’t be abusive dickbags? You only had to talk to women (especially in 2016) to know better.

I’m going to be completely honest with you. I like you. I’ve always found your commentary to be good, and I really like the U.K. Update. But in a couple of conversations over this weekend, several other jezzies have said that you in particular have a habit of running over other people. I didn’t see what they meant, so

I went to a high school in a really, really wealthy suburb (my family was really, really unwealthy), and there was a type of rich boy, all of them trust fund brats, sort of the Midwestern, North Shore equivalent of Diaper Don. They all had expensive cars and shitty attitudes. When I was young, I hated and feared them.

It’s like this family has a genetic disease where they can’t let anything go. Dude, you’re not going to win Twitter and someone else being a sleaze doesn’t negate your dad being fucking horrible.

So where was he, and the rest of the conservative community when Roger Ailes, and Bill O’reilly were exposed? Oh, that’s right, the were busy painting the women who came forward as money hungry, attention whores. And don’t forget, Trump called Ailes a fine man, and hired him as an advisor.

Like a gallon of spoiled milk that can smell itself.

He looks like a sentient stack of Communion wafers.

He looks like an old white mushroom upset that it rolled into a bin of brown mushrooms.
