This can’t be real. I mean . . it very much can be real, but c’mon. Somebody’s just fucking with us right

For whatever reason that link didn’t work for me. Here’s a NYT version.

“fighting for freedom of speech” my ass

I studied the picture before reading the headline. It helped me to understand what “LABOP” was.

Yeah, but also would be interested in how you put it together.

The event is scheduled to be hosted by the student chapter of Uncensored America, a nonpartisan organization fighting for freedom of speech, on September 18.** Gavin McInnes**, founder of the Proud Boys, and Milo Yiannopoulos, a right-wing media personality, have been named as the event’s “roastmasters.”

London Mayor Randall Weddle said seven people were injured, both by gunfire and in related highway collisions.

“No one was killed from this, thankfully,” he said in a video posted to Facebook. “But we ask that you continue to pray.”

Meth and guns. It’s a winning combination!

Donald Trump’s own presidential campaign has failed to substantiate the former president’s Saturday rally claim about children and schools, according to CNN, which deemed the statement a “lie.”

Trump recently spoke at a Moms for Liberty event where the former president made an eye-popping claim about transgender kids.

“The transgender thing is incredible… your kid goes to school and comes home a few days later with an operation. The school decides what’s going to happen with your child,” Trump said last week.

So he’s been lying non stop for decades, but by the time some corporate news operation actually uses the word “lie” he’s already on to insane rantings.

We say this every time there’s a temporary moment of a vague sense that not everything is going to shit immediately. After Obama won, for example. When Bill Clinton was about to win.

It’s an occasional problem when working in reality. The corporate media will make adjustments soon to ensure rage and fear carry the day as always. It never lasts too long.

Yes but in the face of this:

The most overtly racist, dishonest, incompetent, ignorant, and compromised candidate possible. EVER. And that’s saying something.

This wasn’t “GW Bush and his war on terror”-level bullshit this was light-years beyond that.

Just bog-standard demented sociopathic malignant narcissism.

Hahahaha! That is by far the stupidest embrace of “AI” possible.

I’d say I can’t wait for it to fail, but whenever I say that things tend to become intractably lodged in the culture, so. Great success!

If it weren’t pervasive, ubiquitous, and predictable I’d agree with you. But it’s as close to systemic as we can measure.

Why they do it is debatable, but that they do it is not.

Limbaugh is also the son of a federal court judge and cousin to the late conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh.

Debates since 2016 (hell, 2000) have been anything but. They are tragicomic farces of inane television “news” production and political spectacle.

It’s not possible to have anything good come from them, but if nothing bad comes from them, then, well - go do, I guess.

I’ll be under the couch with my eyes closed and hands over my ears.

Misogynist toadies gotta eat y’know.

That’s not his thing. He has zero interest in communicating anything to her that isn’t broadcast loudly. He’s all about the circus, the was never any substance there.

YES! yes. Do that. Okay MAGA people - on the bus! Let’s go! Keep it movin’ keep it movin! Next Stop! The Glorious Motherland! Just like you’ve always dreamed of! C’mon - you too Gingrich - get in there, you fuck! Ok bye!

Reagan. Talk to Reagan.
