    Another great zinger in the article and one I laughed doubly at, given that at this moment I am in Westchester CO. NY. Having overnighted here countless times over the years (and flown as customers many examples of that statement), I know first hand how true it can be. :lol:

    Stopped reading there.

    I already know it's bullshit.

    Not because some of you jackasses have branded me a "leftist" (I'm not) but because any article or opinion piece that starts with that kind of BS isn't worth reading.

    That entire rant reeks of small dick energy. It's becoming Marso's calling card lately. :(

    OK, I have totally scrolled past everything in this thread and am going to respond and see if I am right about it.

    1. Marso is bringing some bullshit from a right wing blog that is making shit up.

    2. It is so stupid only a true member of cult 45 would believe it.

    3. @Federal Farmer is going to agree with it.

    Now I will go and look at the stinking pile of crap marso found and wonder how he does not drown on his own snot.

    ?! what is this establishment? How do I join?

    baiting trump? How? and what does he mean by "go kinetic"?

    "lil' red guards"? again, who are these people?

    So ... you ARE in favor of using the military against the people. Tell me again why you have guns.

    I don't even know what this means. But ... is "Kent Stating" a person? is this a reference to Kent State? did he mash his thoughts together? what does that even mean?

    :lmao:

    Well, if anyone knew what it was or how to join, we might get some people in there smart enough to carry out ... whatever "kent stating" is ...

    hyperbolic? again, why do you own guns?

    ok. so, "kinetic" has something to do with tear gassing US citizens, which ... is 'gentle and restrained'?

    "everyone I hate is literally Hitler" Let's all sing along!

    So ... this establishment has generals?

    This is something you want? again, why do you have guns?

    So ..., you're anti military? I thought ... wait. Let me think this though. You only want right wing (pretending to be neutral and nonpartisan) ... no ... I'm at a loss. I've no idea what this means.

    So, you ARE anti military.

    trump has been in office 3 years. Why hasn't he put an end to this? Could it be that its not about national security? rather about how much money Lockheed Martin and other military weapons manufacturers can squeeze out of the American people?

    Are we back to trump?

    I've lost track. who was supposed to do this? Mattis and Milley or the leftist establishment?

    Uhm, pretty sure it's really only this guy.

    All the above?

    Shouldn't you be hanging with all the other trumpsters who left wordforge to hang out on facebook and reject all things non-trump?[/quote]

    like, right wing punditry has become nothing but a string of dog whistles and cliched epithets.

    I must say, not a single one of the replies has surprised me in the slightest. Sadly, y'all aren't even a hundredth as entertaining as the piece itself. :(

    What were you expecting? That we'd all start seeing the world through your tunnel vision? Maybe you should find a board where you'll be celebrated for your wisdom instead of derided for your gullibility.

    People don't really want to hear the truth. They just want you to believe that what they believe is the truth. Real truth scares the shit out of people.

    How ironic. :lol:

    The way it denigrated and poked fun at the mentally ill liberal class. Figured it would be a big hit with you fucking monkeys here in the echo chamber- not.

    Because unlike your side, we don't think mental illness is laughable. And we don't label those who disagree with us as mentally ill. It's the coward's inability to defend his POV with actual thoughouts. Coward.

    Do you have any data linking mental illness to voting preference? There might be something out there but in my experience most acutely ill people don't vote.

    Still, who is a liberal?

    The people who swear "the left" is offended by everything have been throwing absolute pants-shitting temper tantrums for weeks over Lego, NASCAR and maple syrup. Just like they did over a fucking Gillette commercial.

    The "only libtards vote Democrat" trope has been a standard go-to in the RR for anyone incapable of having a discussion without going ballistic. Q.v. @Marso.

    But I admire your attempt to reason with him. :evilpop:

    Constantly? No. Just a little chat when you water them. :)
