Well, that gave me laugh. And to the point I raised in all those quotes, he called the designation of Bears Ears as a national monument “a grotesque abuse of executive power at odds with the spirit and intention of the Antiquities Act.” Which pretty much is a sterling example of the case I started to make: the law is clear in this case that Obama could make it a monument, but **HD** calls it a “grotesque abuse” because he wants to ride his ATVs where he pleases. ---

Haven’t commented on Horrible Dickface for a while, but yeah, fuck that guy. I seriously hope he dies a painful death. While he’s in the process, I hope has time (while he’s suffering) to look back on all the he loved and realize that he’s about to lose it. Also, fuck that guy. If he really is a Mormon, he is literally the worst Mormon I’ve ever known, and if he’s a Christian…well, I mean he’s probably average if he identifies as Evangelical, but all of them can painfully fuck them selves in the ass with a [concrete vibrator](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4flTTHYdaw) and die as well. ---

I screwed up and initially took his bait in the student loan forgiveness thread in GD–said bait similar to the one in your link. I shan’t make that mistake again. It’s also why I haven’t responded to him again in that thread. ---

Every now and then I find myself inclined to run the **kd99** -ified version of the Lemon test on a poster. Basically, it consists of evaluating the likelihood of three conditionals. _1) Will the poster’s submission be something true? 2) Will the poster’s submission be important for me to know? 3) Will the poster’s submission be unique to the poster, such that no other poster is likely to submit it?_ When I judge the probabilities of these conditionals to be sufficiently low for the poster in question, I deploy my trusty corkscrew and open a nice bottle of plonk (or PLONK!, if you prefer). The practice has had a salutary effect on my blood pressure, and I heartily endorse its adoption by all and sundry. ETA: even though it’s needless to say, for the sake of remaining on-topic I will say that the test has been run on **HD** , with predictable results. ---

His politics are of no interest; I just wonder where all the hatred comes from. Is he an incel? Just a garden-variety troll who posts for shitz and lolz. In all likelihood, he posts on other boards trawling for LIKES on how he pawnd the libtards over on the SDMB. Have you noticed he’s never actually laid claim to what HE believes in? It’s always just a critique of liberalism. Seriously not worth the keystrokes to respond anymore. Fuckers gonna fuck. Let him go masturbate somewhere else. ---

I dunno why anyone lets themselves get het up over Ditka. He and others like him are best viewed as yarnballs or punching-bags; inanimate objects to toy with or practice on, in case you find out a real person in your life like a relative or coworker actually is a Trump supporter or something comparably stupid. Practicing on Ditka et al. helps you find weaknesses to exploit. ---

Practicing on Ditka et al. helps you find weaknesses to exploit. Because he can take a thread where people are discussing a tragedy and turn it into a thread about himself. Does Ditka really think that the shooter was well disposed or at least indifferent to Jews until he saw that cartoon? Is he unaware that there is far worse anti-Semitic propaganda on the web? of course not. He made a post to troll the libs. Honestly since the mods are inexplicably reluctant to moderate him, I would implore dopers to stop responding to him. Stop engaging with him as though he really thought the shooter would be motivated by that cartoon. ---
