It’s really hard to tell with the cult these days.

This afternoon in northwestern Missouri:

Still there.

Maybe they all forgot about January 6, 2021.

“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.

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.

Why do they bother? Are they somehow convinced that their random talking points are going to persuade anyone else? Or, are they just afraid that if they don’t regurgite anything that they’ll confirm their lack of gravitas with their silence?

Once again. In response to this and its accompanying traffic spike.

As always, this is too easy.

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

Here we are.

We try not to engage right wingnuts directly. By any definition of their thought processes and ideology, it’s a colossal waste of time. [….]

Unless we’re bored or it amuses us.

We are slightly amused.

Once again.

The first comment:

I agree it should not have been certified. Too many laws were broken in the name of Covid. Rules were broken, extended mail in days assigned improperly and so on.

No certification on the ballot? All of the races on the ballots you’re considering shouldn’t have been certified then? That’s the only way you could attempt to make this work. Have you ever bothered to vote? Did you sleep through your civics classes in elementary school? Did you ever attend elementary school? You appear to be really new to the concept of how elections actually work.

Laziness is a personal choice. It doesn’t ever serve the quality of public discourse. And so on.

The next comment:

Hardly a cult in any language. They simply did what the left has been doing every time they lose an election in any category.

Again with the laziness. Tu quoque.

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

Yes, it is a cult. In any language.

cult, Donald Trump, GOP, platform, right wingnuts, Texas

From the 2022 Texas GOP State Convention:

Report of the Permanent 2022 Platform & Resolutions Committee [pdf]

[….]
1581 1. 2020 Election: We believe that the 2020 election violated Article 1 and 2 of the US Constitution, that
1582 various secretaries of state illegally circumvented their state legislatures in conducting their elections in
1583 multiple ways, including by allowing ballots to be received after November 3, 2020.We believe that
1584 substantial election fraud in key metropolitan areas significantly affected the results in five key states in
1585 favor of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.
1586 We reject the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph
1587 Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States. [….]

[line number emphasis added]

“…We reject the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States….”

Curiously, there’s no mention of the multitude of those other race results certified on the very same ballots.

“No Labels” was saying what?

cult, cult of the lost cause, dumbasses, Fascist pigs, meta, right wingnuts, Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, self-righteous

As always, this is too easy.

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

Here we are.

We try not to engage right wingnuts directly. By any definition of their thought processes and ideology, it’s a colossal waste of time. There’s an old music adage: “You can’t teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and it annoys the pig.” So, we tend to delete trolling comments and ignore them.

Unless we’re bored or it amuses us.

We are slightly amused.

We previouly posted a short portion of Representative Liz Cheney’s (r) opening remarks at last night’s public hearing of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.

We then got comments:

It’s been reported Trump called down his people to the capital because he wanted his people who believed him to know the truth and to be sure that if there came a time in the future where this may need to be done to protect ourselves from government over stepping our rights and he stands firm on this belief. He wasn’t in the wrong to have his supporters check to see if everything was alright but some abused this privilege and everyone is to each thier own actions. If ever a president feels that his team at the capital is not doing thier jobs or anything needs checked out the people of this country are there to make sure they are. Well I would like to know what you all have to say to that. Shame on you. And taking our freedom of speech is a dead give away. Tech allowing hackers to sabatage and not do anything about it is also slander and sabatage. Get ALL the FACTS before making a judgment because you better be sure before acting and or looking stupid. Don’t make us supporters take it to court and show everyone the truth of everything wrong with this country. We will. Amen.

“…some abused this privilege…” So that’s what it’s called when you smear your shit on the walls of the capitol building.

“…If ever a president feels that his team at the capital is not doing thier jobs or anything needs checked out the people of this country are there to make sure they are…” Their.

So, you’re saying the former guy, his children, and his hacks were incompetent? Okay.

“…Well I would like to know what you all have to say to that…” You’re a dumbass. You asked.

“…Shame on you…” Read the post title.

“…And taking our freedom of speech is a dead give away…” Wait, wingnuts only believe in one true and good amendment, and it ain’t the first.

Sabotage.

“…looking stupid…” You’re doing fine on your own. See above.

“…Don’t make us supporters take it to court and show everyone the truth of everything wrong with this country. We will…” Oooh. Wait, that’s already been done. Your cult leader lost every election court case.

Bless your heart.

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

And another:

I guess I’m a right wing nut. I loved the Abraham accords promoted by Donald Trump. I loved our strong position with China North Korea, Russia, Iran, etc. I loved our energy independence and low gas prices. I loved our prosperity, smaller government, and lower taxes. I also loved the much lower inflation. I loved all this and more about Donald Trump’s policies. I will absolutely vote for him again. If all this makes me a right wing nut, so be it!!

Maroon

You’re a dumbass, too.

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

Stupidity may be inherited. Ignorance is a personal choice.

And another:

Everyone should stop this right now and quit wasting our money. And they should be doing something else and help the people. And earn some of the money we pay you. I have never in my life seen crap like this. And it is crap. Your sore loosers and running […] scared now of losing get a life and get over it. You all know you are history when Trump gets back in and you wont be able to get richer off our money. You all need a reality check and it will be soon. Iam praying you all go to jail. Remember one thing the truth always comes out. Jail is to good for you all should be shot.

Oh, by the way, when someone submits a comment here your email address and I.P. address are linked to the comment. You’re obviously too stupid to remember to breathe. And you’re a Fascist pig.
