It’s not _my_ fault I beat my wife. She pushed me to do it when she threatened to take my toys away. Ok, she didn’t actually say she was going to, but I knew she was gonna. And for good measure, I alienated all our friends.

If you are not responsible for how you vote, why don’t you stay the fuck home on Election Day and let us adults handle it, okey dokey?

Really? “You made me”

That’s it? That’s all you have at this point?

Good lord. I imagine even you are a little embarrassed by this.

Jeebus, the Russian trolls are getting desperate, because their favorite stooge lost the Elections…  
Surely, you understand that there’s nothing in this correction that contradicts in any way, shape or form the fact reported by WaPo earlier, namely that Clinton campaign and DNC colluded with Russia, by funneling millions of dollars to Russian operatives to dig up dirt on their political opposition?

The right wing desperation is quite funny.

Reality and Truth are both foreign languages to you, aren’t they? What the hey, you’ll be gone soon, though, so I guess that really doesn’t matter.

I was not in the voting booth with you. You voted for him all based on your own desire to have him president. That’s what it means when you vote for someone.

I voted for Ms. Clinton. And I did so with an absentee ballot posted from China. It costs me money, time, energy, and more effort than you had to expend to cast my vote in a state that is overwhelmingly republican. But nobody forced me to vote in the way I did.

And nobody forced you to vote the way you did. You wanted Trump as president and you got what you wanted. Happy now?

Hurt feelings, snowflake? “Fuck your feelings.” Sound familiar?
