Dude, the OP is a smurf and he is _drunky_. he’s doing well if he can reach the keyboard. :dubious:

meanwhile, Vinyl Turnip has made me laugh OUT LOUD. not recently, but I think we are all a little worn down what with election and all.

Agreed. **Vinyl Turnip** amuses me to the point of madness. **DS** , no.

That 20 year old woman shouting things about protecting the environment from 12 feet away was terrifying. Had this been in Florida, I’m sure the Trump campaigners would have acted in self-defense and shot her in accordance with the “stand your ground” laws that prohibit annoying disagreement in public spaces.

Those horrid, violent liberals! Much worse than [burning a black church](http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/11/03/500496061/fbi-investigating-burning-of-black-church-painted-with-vote-trump) and painting “vote Trump” on the wall.

I think Smurfs live in mushrooms, not caves.  
He usually comes back to defend himself though. Weird.

I am staying far away from Hillary and her violent crowd. I’ll be much better off with Trump, where 69-year-old women get punched, but at least the banners are safe. :dubious:

**Drunky** only follows up on one of his posts when he thinks someone is worthy of reply. And _no one_ is ever worthy.

Meanwhile, I wish someone had told me there was going to be some pro-Hillary violence. I had my best brown shirt cleaned and pressed for the occasion.

Hilariously\*, people are actually claiming this is Hillary’s doing.

To be ruthlessly fair, I also get a faint whiff of fake about this. I can’t put my finger on it perzackly, but my intuition bell is clanging. Don’t rely on intuition, but I listen. Its the wording, like a couple of other incidents lately. The wording has the wrong tone, somehow, like an out of tune cowbell.

You guys must be pretty gullible not to have noticed that the “Vote Trump” graffiti was obviously a diversionary tactic:

That’s our **Clothy**! Hiding out from a diverse city & county that went strongly for Clinton–with downballot victories for Democrats. In his solitude, he soaks up a lot of Right Wing media.

I ought to post this in the germane thread–but here’s where he got [his latest epithet](https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/nov/28/snowflake-insult-disdain-young-people):

> [@](#):
>
> Between the immediate aftermath of Brexit and the US presidential election, one insult began to seem inescapable, mostly lobbed from the right to the left: “ **snowflake.** ” Independent MEP Janice Atkinson, who was expelled from Ukip over allegations of expenses fraud, wrote a piece for the Huffington Post decrying the “wet, teary and quite frankly ludicrous outpouring of grief emails” she had received post-referendum as “snowflake nonsense”. The far-right news site Breitbart, whose executive chairman Stephen Bannon is now Donald Trump’s chief strategist, threw it around with abandon, using it as a scattershot insult against journalists, celebrities and millennials who objected to Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric; its UK site used it last week to criticise a proposed “class liberation officer” at an Oxford college who would provide more support for working-class students.

The article traces the history of “snowflake” from over-sensitive students to anyone the writer disdains.

> [@](#):
>
> I called Jim Dale, senior meteorologist at British Weather Services, to see if it was ever an effective analogy in the first place. He says he can see why it was chosen. “On their own, snowflakes are lightweight. Whichever way the wind blows, they will just be taken with it. Collectively, though, it’s a different story. A lot of snowflakes together can make for a blizzard, or they can make for a very big dump of snow. In which case, people will start to look up.”

We’re going to have a warm holiday weekend–the weather deities compensating for our Hellish summers. Get outside, **Clothy**! See what today’s Houstonians look like! Eat at some of our really great restaurants!

Or sit inside & stew…
