Quote from: Tamas on Today at 07:02:42 AMI am not sure but also we cannot just ignore such an insult. If you react the worst outcome is that needle doesn't move. If you don't react then the non-movement of the needle is the best possible outcome.

You are right this means this demented fucker gets to live rent fee in our head, but that's a given now until he dies in about 20 years.

Sure but I've been trying to suggest that the size of the reaction is disproprtionate to the triggering event.

I don't see why the BBC needed to run Harry's reaction as the top new story, nor a top section on multiple articles discussing the reactions to his comments.

Why are we drowning ourselves in Trump? And the very minimum time that could be spent productively is not spent in that manner. It also feels like it just reinforces more Trump content being pushed at us.
