"President Trump is acting in accordance with his competence"
--Vladimir Putin

Yet silence from the flag waving GOP.

They're still trying to parse whether it's an insult or a compliment. :P

The Fox News scandal seems to potentially have a wider effect, impacting a candidate in the NYC mayoral race f. ex.

Free-floating nihilism cloaked in insult, mockery, and bombast? The internet really is the downfall of society.



I laughed.

I also need the LIBERUL TEARS mug.

I have a couple extras leftover from Christmas.

Fascinating story about how aides try to slip Trump various news articles in order to advance their agendas (and what happened when "fake news" gets slipped to Trump).

White Nationalist Leads Torch-Bearing Protesters Against Removal of Confederate Statue:

QuoteChanting "All White Lives Matter," and "No More Brother Wars," the crowd, which said they were protecting their "white heritage" from the Charlottesville City Council's decision to remove a statue in the Virginia town's park.

They also chanted "You will not replace us" and "Russia is our friend." Dozens of protesters also brought bamboo tiki torches to a second rally once it became dark out.

Is this real or another 'for the LOLZ' type deal? The 'Russia is our friend' thing is hard to take seriously.

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

You need to stop thinking these people are trolling. If you are a neo-nazi for the Lolz, guess what? you are still a neo-nazi.

It just seems reactionary. Do they really like Russia or do they just hate the liberals so very much?

I know what you mean. It just seems childish, and not in a good way - like they are getting off on how very, very *bad* they are being, how much the "liberals" will be offended. It is as if these folks have created a sort or ersatz collective parental figure, the "liberal", who is an authority to be undermined by mockery in the form of saying things calculated to upset. 

The question is how far they will go to offend-for-kicks. The implication of "well, they are just trolling" is that there are limits to how far they will go.

I don't think there's any such implication. IMO "we're just trolling" is purely a play to avoid consequence and/ or claim victory from outcomes that previously would've been considered a defeat.

I've only skimmed the news on and off since the election.  With the firing of Comey I went back to CNN and while there are a number of articles concerning what late night talk show hosts said about Comey's firing, I also discovered that:

Trump gets 2 scoops of ice cream, others get 1

Of course you can't just run one article on such an important topic:

Trump gets 2 scoops of ice cream, everyone else gets 1 -- and other top lines from his Time interview

And Ice Cream Gate was used as the basis for Michael D'Antonio' thought provoking opinion piece:

The little boy president

I see that I've missed a lot in the past seven months.
:lol:

When reality becomes a meme.

I wonder how ourselves are doing in the Hillary timeline.
