I read Brietbart every now and then. The essence of humour is unexpected leaps in logic and they are chock full of that. Tying themselves in knots to sustain pre existing biases. They are impossible to satirise because you cannot be more extreme or nonsensical than the commenters already are. Obama’s shadow goverment…

Let he who has not empowered white supremacists, helping them achieve supreme executive power, cast the first stone. 

There’s a line from Blade Runner (97) that’s been stuck in my head for 20 years. Couldn’t tell you why. I don’t even remember the main characters name, let alone the plot, but I know at some point he tells a car dealer named “Crazy Legs Larry” that he’ll take his response as a “yes”. To which the response is:

“the president was not aware of the meeting”

Only if you assume they care about the things they say they care about. Which given that outright lies and abuse of the language are both a core part of the identity, we should probably stop doing.

Well that’s the problem with overthrowing a government. The kinds of people who are good at the overthrowing are generally not the kinds of people you want running a place.

We’re living in a world were Trump looks like the President to very nearly a majority of voting Americans.

‘which include his assertion from last month that health care is “not a basic human right.”’

They’ve had a basic platform of treating the people they represent like expendable fuel for at least 30 years now and if anything they’re more powerful than ever. There’s a pretty good chance you’re going to have more people who aren’t active assholes voting in the midterms, which will certainly help, but thinking you…

“Ted Cruz has a great and workable proposal for who might fund the border wall.”

You’re absolutely right, I can see what I mean there but I’m missing a good sentence or two between qualifiers.

Yep. That’s the worst thing. Being run by immoral self serving buffoons is bad, but it’s basically always been the case and there was always a sense that we were all in the same boat and the system had let us down. Brexit showed us that no, we are in fact surrounded by people who would smash their won windows if it…

Sort of. He gave a probability within a margin of error. In terms of the individual calls for each state and the popular vote, his model was out by 2-4%, which for election polling is incredibly strong. The problem was that the key states were decided by that margin and went in Trumps favor.
