I don’t know if everyone can tell the difference between a hot steaming pile of shit being stuffed down their throats deliberately and a hot steaming pile of shit being shoved down their throats by a crazy person.

Thank God for this thread.

I also Pitt every single one of you pieces of shit Americans. You are all racist misogynists. You are all assholes. You have doomed the entire planet to civil war and global warming. The entire planet is now fucked. Nuclear war is going to break out any second now and all life on Earth will be obliterated.

Good job Americans. You just murdered the galaxy. Fuck your mothers and your dogs you RACIST MISOGYNIST motherfuckers.

You took away my Safe Space.

Oh, so this is entirely YOUR fault … you, and **Idle Thoughts** , our special snowflake of a Moderator who disdains all politics, who would rather sit at home playing video games than give a fuck about the world.

Trump got elected by roughly half of the half of the voting eligible population. Don’t bin the rest of us in with them, please.

Well, the sane person can at least try to rationalize with you why you have to eat the pile of shit. It’s certainly a better proposition than eating a big pile of shit because it’s the BEST shit and THE MUSLIMS ARE COMING IF YOU DON’T EAT THE SHIT !

I don’t want him impeached. I want him to have a full term, completely unfettered and out of control. I want to see just how bigly he can fuck all those that voted for him.

I can retire any time, so my income is pretty safe. I have health insurance, through work that I can continue upon retirement. I can sit on the sidelines, if I choose and watch you all get exactly what you asked for.

Drunky, in his inimitable way, is attempting the subtle art of sarcasm in the post you replied to.

It is unsurprising that you missed that; he’s not so good at subtlety. But be aware: when you see a post by Drunky that is out of character; he’s probably attempting sarcasm, irony, metaphysics or similar higher level intellectual pursuits.

I can’t believe people think that Drunky Smurf meant a word of what he said. He’s gloating, really.

Although in the moment, I can understand not checking his posting history…

ETA: ninja’ed.

I wondered this, too, when I saw a comment on a Washington Post article saying something about “taking this country back from the elite,” and I was like, “Elite?? Taking back??? _From_???”

Then I realized “elite” could only mean “educated”.

Ah yes. Much better to have the country run by the mediocre, or the downright dim. Solid thinking, that.
