I forget, do we have a general HurricaneDitka Pit thread?

Then, I suppose, those who engage in hyperbolic emotional rhetoric are doing so knowingly. Which is their right of course. But don’t be surprised when people tire of hyperbolic emotional rhetoric.

Pro-tip: Your accountant does not count.

Seems like that’d be a requirement.

There are three types of accountants. Those who can count, and those who can’t.

Drawing key historic analogies is not the same as equating Trump with Hitler. It’s a cautionary tale meant to remind people who are at risk of repeating mistakes of the past.

Now, what were you saying earlier about being glad for the opportunity of having a nuanced discussion? Still think you’re up to it?

Well, thank you for the clarification. And as long as the nuance doesn’t attract sealions or the hive then of course.

I just find it very interesting that the party that thinks that the state is the natural provider of things becomes very concerned with state power whenever they lose an election.

Aside: Do you know the difference between counting and accounting?

As far as I know, the Communist Party has never won an election in the United States, so what you say here makes no sense.

Do I have to un-ignore Hurricane Ditka to set this thread straight? All of you octopus feeding mother fuckers can fuck off.

Wait a goddamn minute. You have HD on ignore presumably because you want to avoid his nonsense, but you regularly follow a thread about him in the pit - a thread in which he does not participate - so that you can keep up on the play-by-paly of what HD’s been up to lately. And then you get irritated when people engage with someone who has assumed the role of HD’s personal attorney/white night. I think you need to take a beat and consider the possibility that you’re in no position to dictate who’s feeding who on a subject that is ostensibly on your ignore list. Motherfucker.

One of them is cooler because it has AC?

Not bad. No. Counting is “one, two, three”. Accounting is “a-one, a-two, a-three”.

I’m warning you, if this thread breaks into a musical number I’m flipping this table and leaving.

OOOH OOOH, what about a rousing chorus of “one eight seven seven Kars four Kids”?

Eight hundred five eight eight, two three hundred, Empire! (Today!)

Bastards!

Go ahead. Click on the smiley.

You’re on the list.

I need you to review this video and tell me what you think.
