    No, that’s weird and wrong. All of those tweets are the kind I’ve started to make and then shook my head and said what the fuck am I doing?

    I’m not saying it was a great thing to do, just not a dealbreaker.

    Heheh, yeah, well I knew that, it’s more the media people hailing him as being “presidential” that I’m wondering about...

    I just had this conversation with my 4-year-0ld son yesterday - in trying to get him to work on a bad habit, I promised him a gift. He’s doing great with it and I was telling him how proud I was and that he was getting the gift today and that he’d have to do something really bad like, say, kick the cat to not get it.

    Fucking Google/Youtube, Facebook and Twitter will eventually (we’re already well on the way) be the downfall of America (probably first) and eventually modern society as a whole. The algorithm-driven INDIVIDUAL bubbles they’re creating aren’t just killing discourse, they’re eroding our ability to feel empathy for each

    Um, no, they’re all ours (Canada).

    Okay, rich Democrats, you want to make a real difference in American politics? Get together and pay off these debts!

    I’m not a defender of Franken in light of the other accusations; however, we still need to have a good faith discussion about the whole thing, and to suggest that SHE was the butt of the joke is not honest. He was making fun of fucking soldiers taking awful pictures with their captives.

    This is a no-brainer. Sure, maybe the standards for indicting a sitting president might differ slightly from a regular Joe - I get the idea that the POTUS can’t be tied up in lawsuits, but there can’t just be a blanket immunity.

    Shit, where’d you get the idea that dickhead = grown up? You’re the dickhead in the room, dude!

    Not terrified of that, dumbass - terrified that so many of my fellow humans are so stupid as to think that the obvious “always-changing climate” concept hasn’t been completely dismissed by thousands of scientists WHO ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT, unlike, say, YOU (or even me, for that matter, but

    This is the dumbest fucking take on climate change. STOP. There are people spending thousands and thousands of hours of their lives analyzing data that would melt your fucking brain. THEY KNOW the climate has changed throughout Earth’s history. You nitwits seem to think that this is a radical concept that has somehow e

    Where’s Stanley Kubrick (Ku-BRICK haha) and his film crew? :P

    The citizens voted for these fucks. They can go to hell too.

    I guess I was “lucky” but it was still terrifying.

    lol

    No. Reality TV is small time in the dumbing down of (and polarization of and destruction of empathy in) America - Google, Facebook and Twitter are the Unholy Trinity taking behaviour modification to a whole new level that television could only dream of.

    “Euron, for example. He could have been completely excised with no effect on the story.”

    I’ve met one: my great aunt, a Jesuit nun who not only took a vow of poverty and lived by it, but was also one of the kindest, most non-judgmental people I’ve ever known. But yeah, other than her, they’re all garbage monsters in my experience.

    Bullshit coward take. When your president is a criminal flouting both the law and common decency you fucking impeach him. End of story.
