Here's a special treat for Xyga, Mischief Maker and friends. I posted previously at neogeo.com, so just will copy/paste my present to you fellas. ENJOY:

(Previously on neogeo.com)
Voted at lunch break.
Since I live in MD, which is obviously going to go to Hillary, I had decided I'd vote Jill Stein/Green Party, so that I could add my vote to the 5% needed so that our oligarchy would recognize the Greens as a major party for 2020.

But then, on my way to the voting place, everywhere I looked were illegal immigrants, either working for some white/black contractor or cutting me off as I drove.
I was also reminded of how many pansy neoliberal fuckers at work that I knew, had voted against Bernie and were Hillbot POS. Those fuckers.
I still hadn't made up my mind, but when I got to the voting booth, everything became clear.
Long story short, VOTED TRUMP. The total Fuck You Vote, felt good for a change instead of feeling once again, like progressive road kill.
Fuck Democrats up the ass. #foreverBernie

22 million people are going to be kicked off health insurance, 24,000 unnecessary deaths expected annually. The success of the 5000 veterans at DAPL has been swept aside, construction is proceeding, and it's already had several leaks. Relatively young SCOTUS lifetime appointee Gorsuch is voting like the kind of right-wing zealot Trump was promising to appoint, and now rumors are swirling that Kennedy's going to retire.

Bush jr. was also an incompetent. Doesn't matter, he just has to sign whatever the nice Republican congress puts on his desk, and Donald Trump loves to sign things then show the cameras "Look what I did, daddy!" We're going to have at least one and a half more years of this shit. While you were tweeting #foreverBernie, the actual flesh and blood Bernie Sanders was desperately stumping for the lesser evil.

Still feel good?

I never in a million years thought I'd be calling Ron fucking Johnson's office to express any kind of support.

But elections have consequences and you take whatever allies (however temporary) you can get.

Reminder: to vote in the upcoming Democratic primary you'll often have to be registered as a Democrat. In certain strongholds where they've worked relentlessly to secure their own jobs, they've made the amount of time you have to be registered ahead of time completely enormous. New York required you to affiliate with democrats by October 9, 2015, for the presidential primary. (The first televised debate coincidentally took place on October 13.)

By this, I mean to say it's best to assume you only have a few months to position yourself to vote in next year's primary. There will be more time than that in practice since they're held later in the year than presidential primaries usually, but dwaddling is the worst idea. It's gonna be cold as shit and no one's going to feel like doing anything by then. Currently, it's warm and sunny. Now is the best time. Register.

That's only if you feel like pushing back against the madness. If you think guys like Pelosi and Schumer are doing great jobs in this modern age, then it's alright to sit another one out. Things should keep getting worse on their own.

Why bother when Clinton is just going to win everything by paying off all lifeforms on the face of the planet, like she obviously did during the 2016 election?

Really, Trump? REALLY???!? Please.

I am laughing but not in a responding-to-humor way. More like derisively.

Unfortunately, it's one riddled with shrill, dismissive ojou-sama laughter.

Don't hate on ojousamas.

Only when they further enrich themselves by taking health care, environmental protections, and countless other social services away from the rest of us, whilst tearfully decrying any and all criticism as "oppression".

oooOOOH-HO-HO-HO-HO!

We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

Wait nevermind gimme that dollar and let's do the easy thing instead. It pays better.

A wild democrat challenges the Vermont senator!





He may be able to do even worse than Clinton's 14%. If you want to flush away your money on smug lanyards, here you are.

Also, this makes Trump's tweets look like Shakespeare. Jesus christ.

Well yeah, you're right. Mike Pence is.

wtf CNN apparently actually took time out of there lives to find who made the clip and are now basically blackmailing them?

http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/04/politics/ ... index.html

CNN is not publishing "HanA**holeSolo's" name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.
CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.

wtf is this world I live in

That guy has expressly called for genocide, among many other horrible things. I wish they actually released his identity. Fuck him with a spiked broom stick.

[BryanM]

It may seem to be unusually petty or vicious since it's against an innocuous individual, but it really shouldn't even lift an eyebrow. Of acts of evil and terrorism, it's not even a drop in the ocean of sins CNN and the media in general are responsible for. At best, these ghouls earn money off of misery; stoking hatred, fear, and distractions. At worst, you can find them culpable of war crimes.

If you pay money for a cable subscription, and that money goes into their pockets, that's the moral equivalent of giving aid to a mass murderer. In a tangible sense, it's not much different than if you yourself went outside with an axe and started chopping people up on your own.

Forget complaining about Trump being president - if you've got a cable TV sub, you paid hundreds of dollars directly in service of getting him elected.

In a world where CNN murdered and raped over a hundred thousand people, what's stalking and bullying some kid on the internet in the grand scheme of things?

So he's on the same page as CNN, then?

Terrorists of a feather.

I'm no fan of CNN, but what on earth are you babbling about?

you missed the part where he made the offensive posts in a subreddit explicitly made for the worst kind of black humor with no restraints (which was conveniently left out of the reports)
hell, I've made jokes about worse things a million times or even said the exact same things and no one cared (by the way, "race war now" and throwing people out of helicopters are basically just memes)
and I don't even really like trump or most of his policies, wouldn't vote for him, I just like inappropriate things

it's weird to single out one guy who didn't do anything particularly bad only because trump tweeted an image he possibly didn't even make
sounds more like CNN got pissed and went through digging through everything while taking everything as seriously as they could

You may not have thought about this yet, but whenever a country gets destroyed by us, a lot of people have a super bad time. Both from the initial destruction, and the chaos of reconstruction that follows from being pushed back into the Tribal warlord phase of development. Iraq and Afghanistan are merely the latest and greatest of their victims.

CNN, as well as their peers, lobbies hard for these kinds of eternal wars of aggression. Makes them perfectly acceptable normal things to do, in the court of public and electoral opinion. Completely pivotal in their execution.

Since you might not be familiar with the Overton Window and propaganda, you might consider perusing something like Manufactured Consent.

Oddly missing for some mysterious reason: photograph of when the missile came down. You know, the whole point of firing a missile in the first place.

If the guy's so horrible and dangerous a person, he should be on an FBI watch list, not some distraction for CNN to waste 5 minutes of everyone's fuckin' time.

But I guess using television to throw rocks at people we don't like is a productive use of our time after all? :shrug:

Sorry, but this is not true. He made the posts in /r/The_Donald. That is not a humor site, but *the* legitimate Trump subreddit. And he said far, far worse, including, ironically, asking that 4chan dox people *he* didn't like. There's a lot of misinformation on this, but when you create a picture of two dozen CNN employees with Stars of David next to them, you're no longer just being humorous. If you actually had read his posts, you'd be appalled, especially since they weren't in "black humor" subreddits.

Unfortunately, Trump's true believers (well, to the extent that any of them actually believe in much of anything) are, in true Limbaugh (or, more appropriately, Alex Jones) style, all about reflexively hiding behind the "it's obviously a joke, you snowflakes just don't get it" excuse every time they (or Trump himself) step over the line, and few if any are willing to openly demand they (and Trump) grow a pair and take actual responsibility for the things they say and do.

[Mischief Maker]

Their hatred of liberals far outweighs the value of any of Trump's broken promises to them.

most of the posts are from iamgoingforhellforthis, which is just black humor
to be honest he does seem to be a complete dumbass I would rather not know but I don't think that a news network should be going after identities of some random people and threatening them because the president tweeted a fairly innocent image he made (compared to some of the posts)

I could easily find you 100 people on the internet in 10 minutes that deserve being exposed 100x more (raidforums kiddies who actively harass people, swatters), yet they go after some garden variety trump fanboy who sounds underage

plus we all just know that after he made that "apology", he'll switch his ISP, get a new name and maybe a VPN if he's smarter than he sounds and continue posting the same shit as before because the chance they catch the same random trumpster twice in a row is basically zero
