So basically he's fucked unless some Trumpist judge gets a hold of the case. That's good to hear.

What worries me more is the outright glee with which his actions are being defended by the "mainstreamers" of Neo-Nazi bullshit into acceptable rightwing discourse. Most notably Tucker Carlson, of course, but also a whole host of lesser known, if no less influential, online pundits. Once they're able to justify straight-up travelling to murder protestors...well, we know where that leads.

Well, we'll see what happens to that attitude when the next obvious thing happens and some boogs get assassinated.

The way I see it going, there are two likely next bits of escalation. The first is this happens again, only this time an adjacent idiot also starts shooting in the same direction. First follower thinking kicks in and you're looking at a firing squad.

The second, is this happens again, only the initial shooter is also shot. Now you've got your own martyr. Idiocy ensues.

Tony Abbott being touted as trade thing.

I'm betting heavily that raab lost an onion eating contest with him and this was the stake. Either that or he just ate an onion in front of Johnson until he broke down and offered him a job to just go away.

Yeah apparently her kid can't handle it anymore...melting down on TikTok.

Trump's Koch Brothers handler is out...so...maybe we'll be in for a pleasant surprise at the RNC. They can't even PROP trump up anymore he's shat the bed so bad.

I've asked a dozen people to explain tiktok to me and I still don't get it. I'm assuming that's a sign of old age and I should probably buy shares in it.

Conway gone. I really never expected her to last this long. She's probably the only 2016 face still hanging around.

It seems to me that this is pretty much the same as the last set, with added plauge protocols. Now consider the recession as a force multiplier and full on riots are surely coming by January.

I don't think I've ever seen a disaster planned to happen quite like this. Either that, or there have been remotely competent people handling it so it didn't escalate so much. The latter is unlikely, while the former indicates a true transition to the horrible times. Because none of this is really new. Its just the stunning lack of progress from anyone, on anything is increasingly difficult to just ignore.

Are leftist and liberal distinct terms, now?  I must have missed the memo.

In real terms?

Liberals are still liberals.

Lefties are mostly populists.  Like a slightly smarter version of MAGA freaks.

One will also be unable to understand ideas like "maximum wage" and the other will be rather offended about it.

Apple Talk / Re: Who keeps making me an admin at the PD.com facebook page?

« on: August 11, 2020, 08:14:30 am »

Weird. I can admin. Then I would have admin priv on Holy Nonsense, PD.com, and my own little side project Blasphememes. Then I can cross post all kinds of stuff and bomb shitty FB groups relentlessly with real content. The far right trolls are slowly spreading into even the niche groups spreading their bullshit tryna "retake Discordia" or whatever. I think maybe I can do better.

Look, the fucking thing has taken over my FB feed.  Every 30 seconds I get machine gunned by stupid ass fucking notifications and FB bot messages about "increasing my views", and I wish to God I'd never had anything to do with it.

And there's no un-admin myself or fucking blocking it.

Share the pain and cause unlimited fun by making everyone else an admin. What could go wrong?

No Roger, you see, you should be his therapist for free.

I can do that.  YMMV.

You know, if you set up a patreon, cameo and whatever else the kids use to make Internet cash now, you could probably make a small fortune. At least 15% or so of the stalkers are far gone enough to pay for the privilege.

Take your standard rp/rwhn/dk, they'd throw you a fiver a week just to tell you WHAT and not even realise what's happening.

Standard 10% cut when implemented.

Man alive that interview with axios should be a campaign killer. I've not laughed that hard for a while. "we're lower than.... The world". Simple follow ups like "who says that?" and "what books?" with the dumbstruck gimp gazing into the distance should be the basis for every attack ad from Biden. I don't know who set this up but they must be quitting within the week.

Should be.  You have to remember that we have 63,000,000 low grade moron Nazi wannabes.

Certainly. In any other era, any of his "interviews" would kill your chances Stone dead. Such is the joy and sadness of the horrible times that it does not.

Saw a graph with a 75% approval rating for the handling of the virus. 75% of republicans, obviously. When your fuck ups eclispe the toll of multiple wars, combined, and you still poll like that it really does say something about a population.

Did the Microsoft rep laugh loudly or quietly?

I guess at this point it's try anything to distract from the 150k+ dead.
