Trump tin foil hat – from somewhere on the Internets

From time to time right wingnut concern trolls try to leave comments here. Our system defaults to automatic moderation – that is, comments have to be approved. We don’t allow such comments to be linked to the original post, but on occasion, when we see fit, we’ll mock these attempts.

We see fit.

An attempted comment to Spitting into the wind (March 14, 2023):

Do any of you left wingers know that all of the SVB executives got big bonuses before they closed? Also this is all planned. Biden sold us out to the WEF so that they could further their One World digital currency to give them complete control of all of us. Josh Haley is looking out for the American People but the Democrats would rather stick behind a President that can’t even finish a sentence without shuddering or talking complete nonsense. Tell me exactly what has he done that is good for this country?

A libertarian is just a republican who wants to blow dope.

For starters – Joe Biden (D) doesn’t pay porn stars $130,000.00.

By the way, the IP address and email address of all comments are attached to the original comment in our blog operating system.

You miss out on those early basics of critical thinking.

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others

An attempted comment to a post about the priorities of the right wingnut republican controlled Missouri General Assembly:

Why not even the odds…why are you not doing the same on the Democrats? If your really concerned about inflation check on all parties Not just one!

Uh, actual reality:

Republicans maintain supermajority in Missouri Legislature following midterms
by Ryan Pivoney | November 10, 2022 at 4:03 a.m.

Republicans maintained their supermajority in both chambers of the Missouri General Assembly after Tuesday’s election.

Republicans hold 111 of the 163 seats in the Missouri House and 24 of the 34 seats in the state Senate, according to unofficial election results from the Missouri Secretary of State. Democrats have 52 seats in the House and 10 seats in the Senate. A two-thirds majority in both the House and Senate are needed to override governor vetoes.

Republicans have maintained control of both chambers for the past two decades.
[….]

Contemplate the meaning of a “veto proof majority” and how the Missouri General Assembly has operated for the past twenty years. You know, actually pay attention.

“…Even the odds…”

What is that supposed to mean?

Ignoranimus.

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

Whenever we get a traffic spike the right wingnut trolls come out. They attempt to post comments, usually with misspellings and inadequate grammar. It’s like the punchline to the old joke – “You can always tell a New Yorker by the cut of their clothes.”

As usual, we don’t allowing ignorant comments out of moderation to be linked with an original post, but we will present them in subsequent posts for the purpose of public derision and mockery. As we see fit. We see fit.

And so, another crop:

How bout NO…another trash can demorat!

Like you’re convincing anyone around these here parts?

Will not vote for any democrat under the current conditions of our country.

As if you’ve ever voted for a Democrat?

It’s definitely a cult.

When someone posts a comment here their email and IP addresses are part of the record.

Dumbasses.

President Donald J. Trump Announces Intent to Nominate Christopher A. Wray to be Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
Issued on: June 7, 2017

Today, President Donald J. Trump announced his intent to nominate Christopher A. Wray for the position of Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). [….]

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

It’s a cult made up of paranoid stupid people. Unfortunately that makes the supply of potential members close to infinite.

A search warrant has right wingnuts all atwitter. Some of them came here.

As usual, we don’t allowing ignorant comments out of moderation to be linked with an original post, but we will present them in subsequent posts for the purpose of public derision and mockery. As we see fit. We see fit:

Hillary is above the law, James comey is above the law, Christopher Wray is above the law, and all the rest of this swamp is above the law apparently!!

Who was it, again, who nominated Christopher Wray to be the Director of the FBI? Right wingnut media propaganda has permeated our cultural substrata. Welcome to 21st Century America.

Stupidity may be inherited, ignorance is a personal choice.

Ah, right wingnut media propaganda has permeated our cultural substrata. Welcome to 21st Century America.

Eric Schmitt (r) [2021 file photo].

This afternoon:

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
Another reminder — the January 6 committee is a joke and nothing more than a smoke screen for Joe Biden’s failures.
12:13 PM · Jun 28, 2022

Eric Schmitt (r) should have waited an hour and a half. Not that it would have made any difference to him.

Just another member of the cult.
