Bullshit. You sound remarkably like every right wing pundit out there who can’t wait to grossly exaggerate and lie about everything that Biden does. There was nothing holding you back during the Trump years except your silent support of everything he did. ---

The next time you kiss DumbDonald’s wide flabby ass, make it a “French” kiss, MAGAloser. Most of his fans say he likes that. ---

> [@The\_Other\_Waldo\_Pepper](#): > > I don’t think that follows. I mean, this is just an asinine post. In the abstract, this is a logical, well reasoned point. But in the specific, this is a poster who has gone out of his way to start a thread with absolutely no content in his OP and then repeatedly return to bump the thread with more posts with absolutely no content. So, sure, in theory, it’s possible this is simply a poster that thought maybe Joe Biden was so “obviously” terrible that contentless and contextless posts would suffice while no such posts were necessary for Donald Trump. Or, maybe, just maybe, obvious troll is an obvious troll. An OP consisting entirely of “Well?” should be a dead obvious fucking giveaway. But perhaps I’m being hyperbolic. ---

So, once this thread got moved to the Pit, why did you not start up another one in P&E with something more behind it in the OP than “Well?” I mean, if you’re really wanting discussion of your frustrations with the current president, with - you know - facts and all that, P&E is the place to do it. But trying to do that in the Pit is pretty much inviting what treatment you’ve gotten so far. So if you’re looking for some real discussion, where you can post your uninformed opinions and have people shred them, P&E is the place to do it. If you keep hanging around here in the Pit, you’re going to keep having people shred you and your opinions both. ---

Any chance he was a particularly stupid Bernie Bro all along? That does seem to be the only plausible alternative if, as he claims, he’s not a supporter of the America-hating fuckstick. ---

You have to allow people _some_ fun. If the troll is just misguided, or old, or mentally deficient I can see just ignoring them. But when they are aggressively, actively, vehemently **stupid** , well then that’s another pot of bouillabaisse. ---
