So boring. Look, dipshit, we’re in the Pit, which is designated for name-calling.

That it’s a jungle [out there](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrAru0xcHW0)? And that you really don’t care, do U? [/quote] If all it takes is to don Viking horns and carry a spear to carry out a coup on our government, we have bigger problems than Donald Trump. ---

> [@songsearch](#): > > If all it takes is to don Viking horns and carry a spear to carry out a coup on our government, we have bigger problems than Donald Trump. Donald as such is not a big problem\*, but that so many people support him is. Do you wish to be one of them? Well, [to each his own](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jedem_das_Seine)… BTW: Have you noticed that the coup did not succeed? Who said it was a coup anyway? It was a coup attempt by particularly incompetent people, their stupidity bordering on slapstick, but that they even tried is worrying. And maybe, just maybe, the next attempt will be competently orchestrated, perhaps from abroad, and the [useful idiots](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot) in charge of the operation will even understand what is expected from them. ``` * At least I hope he will no longer be a problem come tomorrow noon, but I am not sure yet. ``` ---

And your “intelligent argument” was saying the guy in the viking horns was no threat, while evidently being OK with the cop-killers, Nazis, white supremacists, and other avowed terrorists in the mob. If that was a planned attempted coup, then you can call me a dip-shit. It was a mob with a few over-the-top idiots who thought it was ok to break into a building because they saw it happen during last summer’s riots with little consequences to the perpetrators. These were not the brightest bulbs in the lighting store. If it were a real coup, they would have had real weapons, not fire extinguishers and spears. ---

At this point, you’re clearly just trolling, and don’t deserve any further response. ---

Another typical liberal response that I’ve seen over and over for the last four years. No counter-response, so call ‘troll’, and refuse to participate. So predictable. ---

@songsearch, you are dumb. Dumber than rock, dumber than dirt, way dumber than a bag of hammers. I apologize to hammers for even implying that they are close to being as dumb as you are, because even though they are simple they are effective and serve a purpose. Unlike you. In another thread -one about whether it would be mean for a liberal to refuse to hire your worthless dumb ass, you claimed, on Jan 8th, that you were not aware of any deaths or injuries from the January 6th insurrection attempt, which was, BTW, a convention of people as dumb as you. I replied that I would not hire your dumb worthless ass because I expect people that work for me to be good at “knowing things”. I’m not going to say that you are too dumb to exist, although I do wish the hollow-brained cretins that spawned you were smart enough to figure out where babies come from. You would possibly not be too dumb to exist in some pre-industrial society. While you might be too dumb to figure out a hammer, a tool that is way smarter than the tool that is you, the worse you could do would be to hit yourself in the head repeatedly. But to allow anyone as dumb as you access to the technology of a post-industrial society would be sheer madness, an insanity starkly visible to the 80 million or so people in this country that are smarter than you and your dumbass ilk. People as dumb as you were able to handle news on a pre-industrial scale, back when we could hand you a sheet of paper with one thing on it, and you would say…duh, that’s the news even if I don’t like it. But then dumbasses like you got hold of the internet, and found it they didn’t like the news on the single pre-industrial sheet of paper, they could find news that they like. So if a dumbass like you sees a story that says cows shit chocolate milkshakes - you, think YAY! I have cows and I like chocolate milkshakes and you trip over your feet in the race to clamp your mouth on a cow butthole so you can drink up! You never stop to ask, every other animal on earth spews shit out of their butthole, why do cows dispense dessert beverages? You never stop to ask - Why does this chocolate milkshake I’m slurping taste and smell just like shit? No, because that’s called “critical thinking” and it’s one of the evils of liberalism, amirite? You found the news you like and it’s true! It has pretty graphics just like the other news. It may have video clips with a newscaster in a suit sitting at a real looking news desk. It has an real sounding name, maybe The American Patriot CowButt Gazette. And you believe any fucking thing it says, no matter how ridiculous it seems to a person that’s not dumber than dirt. So you go on sucking down shit, thinking it’s a chocolate milkshake even though it tastes like shit and smells like shit and you’re walking around with shit breath and shit smeared all over your face babbling about how they don’t make milkshakes the way they used to, and you wonder why no one wants to hire you or be your friend or engage with you in any way. So just go away, Shitwhistle, and leave us smart and civilized people alone. We have a technological society to run, and you are too dumb to be anywhere near it. Go away. Note: “Shitwhistle” is showing up as an auto-suggestion when I type! Yay! ---
