Silver Lining is so incredibly stupid he rivals Clothy, octopus and doorhinge combined. I cannot decide if he’s a troll or just legitimately stupid. He doesn’t seem to be even bright enough to be a troll. I think he’s just a total moron. Funny as hell though. ---

Silver lining is the poster I would consider most likely to actually be on the Kremlin payroll. He posts cut and paste crap from RW websites like it’s his job, and his command of English seems shaky at best. ---

> [@Thing\_Fish](#): > > Silver lining is the poster I would consider most likely to actually be on the Kremlin payroll. He posts cut and paste crap from RW websites like it’s his job, and his command of English seems shaky at best. He participates too much in non-relevant threads for that to be likely. It would be too much effort for a Russian troll I think. They would want maximum effect for minimum cost. Stir up trouble and then disappear for awhile, come back and stir up trouble, etc. etc. But he’s always here being a doofus. I do find it remarkable that he’s enough of an ignorant troll to be mistaken for a Russian stooge. ---

That is literally a textbook example of threadshitting. It hits every technical criterion, including the often-overlooked use of the rhetorical question\* “who gives a shit?”. You couldn’t construct a more archetypal threadshit. \*Clearly rhetorical; we already know the answer if taken non-figuratively. Textual Assault gives the shit, because he is completely full of it. ---

I find dumb statements by our President to be funny. Getting overly agitated by the mere words of a habitual liar is also funny to me. ---
