If that’s your only talent in life, I imagine you’re at the head of the welfare line down at the grocery store, cuz I can’t imagine any employer would want you on their staff.

Quite a day for you, mark the calendar so you can celebrate every year. /Troll Off Even in the pit, it seems like a bad idea to _admit_ to trolling, whether or not you later claim to be joking. ---

Neither Facebook nor Twitter banned anyone who “disagrees with their politics”. They banned people for inciting violence, sedition, and for planning and carrying out an insurrection. That you think that is just political disagreement is not something that reflects well on you or your views of conservative/Republican political thought. ---

Violence, sedition and insurrection are valid political views. ---

I’ve had just about enough of “Trump’s furious.” I’d much prefer “Trump’s stroked out.” ---

> [@songsearch](#): > > Hey, if Facebook can do it to anyone who disagrees with their politics, why not here? It would bother me for say, about, 1 second if I never read another liberal mob post. You don’t seem happy here. May I suggest the simple expedient of just leaving? I assure you that you won’t be missed. You’ve never posted anything worth reading and you never will, because you’re an imbecile. Even your trolling is tedious. So just go. Do not turn around, do not look back, do not let the door hit your ass on the way out. Just kindly fuck off and be gone. ---
