sock spends four and a half years dormant then decides to self immolate one day.

Maybe there needs to be a purge of these accounts. This is a common tactic on here.

Ana,  glad you're here.  I've been running circles around these guys for a couple of hours.  How do I know?  The personal insults, d--k jokes, spelling / grammar and hyperbole laced responses came flooding in.  Heck, I had 1 guy tell me the Corporations didn't pull the strings of the Bush Administration on the Iraq War, another say Halliburton didn't profit because they were an energy company and not a defense contractor and Elon's conduct (while silly, theatrical, and sometimes counter productive) the last 6 weeks is worse than lying to start a war, killing AT least 200,000 Iraqis, 4,000 US Troops and costing the American Tax Payer over $1.1T.  There are no words for folks who see the world through that lens. (thought about misspelling it lense just to get the spell check police riled up).

I know one thing Ana, these folks (irrationally) hate Donald Trump.  Just like he said Tuesday, there is nothing he can do to make the crew here happy. 

Rest easy, son.  The cavalry has arrived.  Ana is here.

You can take a well earned break as you have charged up the Cemetery Ridge and San Juan Hill and Mount Suribachi of internet websites.  When word gets out, there will be the Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony at the White House waiting for you, as presented by The Orange One himself (don't get too excited, though, they pretty much give them out to anyone these days).

One of the things that low-key amuses me is that the white-supremacist types like to crow about western civilization and judeo-christian ethics and whatnot.

And that, the whole Enlightenment, was led by the western Europe they're now trying so hard to distance themselves from while aligning with conspicuously anti-Enlightenment cultures/countries like Russia and Hungary.

Dark Enlightenment, indeed.

It doesn’t amuse me really. It is just the same salad bar tactic used by the right to justify whatever stupid or horrible shit they want. See clearance Thomas.

Curtis Yarvin explicitly wrote that Europe should all be under Russian domination, complete with masturbatory prose about Cossack cavalry hooves on Parisian cobblestones. 
 

Very typical of Russophilic lightweights whose entire experience is reading some Dostoevsky and Lermontov and maybe a couple weeks of Moscow and St. Petersburg.  Just a complete disconnect from the Russian world as it exists. They’re like Weeaboos except they control our government.

I by no means speak fluent Dotard, but I think what he's saying is that he won in spite of a rigged election? 

Edit: We are so numb to him. However he meant it, a sitting president talking about a rigged presidential election from the Oval Office would have been the biggest story of the week/month not that long ago.

I might be dumb, but my point is things aren't as cut and dry as the creator of that map / post would want you to believe.

Anyone with a half functioning brain who's even remotely paid attention to elections for the past two decades can easily parse the minutia of the map while still understanding the central thesis. And it may well be that the mapmaker understands this, and that your assumptions of what they "want you to believe" is just your own defensiveness rapidly bubbling to the surface.

That's what's so bizarre about this.  Only in internet world could Yarvin be considered anything but a bizarre crank.

If his intent was to say that he won due to a rigged election, we're in a much worse place than I thought.

Defend.  These. Tariffs.

No one contends that corporations don't have outsized influence in American politics.

But name the last time a bullshit government agency was created then headed up by SoROS!, er, a wealthy private citizen and outsized donor who is also a massive government beneficiary.  And is also wholly unqualified for the position.

Show me a DOJ that is dismissing prosecutions for political reasons, all the while bleating about "weaponization of government."

Show me the last time a president signed an executive order singling out a law firm that represented a political enemy, er opponent, a decade ago for adverse action by the federal government.

You are certainly living up to Rockwall's reputation.

Great post. 
I’d add, show me the president who wholesale fired knowledgeable non-partisan civil service federal employees, presumably to replace with partisan hacks, and also fired a large swath of military leadership.

I'll consider myself warned.   I've learned you can always tell when a person has nothing of consequence to add to the discussion if they do 1 of 3 things.. 1. grammar police, 2. swear, 3. ad hominem attacks.    Pardon the pun, but the 2025 trump card is when they label somebody a Nazi.  When they use that, it's because they have nothing more convincing to add.   

Or it could be that there are very obvious similarities between Trumpism and Nazism.

The problem is he's so fucking stupid that it's difficult to understand what the fuck he is saying.

That shit was like the Battle of the Alamo.  And by Alamo, I mean the 2001 Texas Tech-aTm game, where Mike McKinney had to fend off Gap Kid and Harry Potter.

I know I've seen this before somewhere, but I don't think it's been posted here. A Brit's take on why Brits don't like Trump. nsiap.

Quote

At the end of Trump's last term Nate White, an articulate and astute writer from England wrote the following response: -

“A few things spring to mind.

Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.
So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Spoiler

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.

But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.

And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface.

Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul.

And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that.
He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat.

He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully.
That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.

There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of ****. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.
God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid.

He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish:
‘My God… what… have… I… created?”
