The problem is in trying to impose it on everyone else.

It’s always too easy.

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

We see fit.

An attempted trolling comment submitted in response to Addressing Bigotry – Warrensburg, Missouri City Council Meeting – May 8, 2023 (May 9, 2023):

Keep these shows out of Missouri

And, evidently, this, too (a small sample):

In the news:

…In two separate copyright infringement cases concerning the publishing conglomerate Penguin Random House, the high court declined to take up the appeals, with the court saying in 2013 that it wouldn’t hear the first case, and the second case being turned away from the court in 2019 and again in 2020. In both cases, the publisher won at the lower court level, and those decisions stood.

Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who joined the court in 2009 and has been paid millions of dollars from the publisher over the years, declined to recuse herself in all three instances.

Conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch, who joined the court in 2017 and also has received hundreds of thousands of dollars in book deals with the publisher, declined to disqualify himself from the more recent case when it came before the court for consideration…

…the federal law concerning recusal has long been interpreted as applying to stock ownership on the part of the justice or a close family member…

…Breyer, who retired in 2022, likely recused himself from the cases because he owns stock in a company that for a time had a large stake in Penguin…

Roth, whose group has for years kept track of instances in which justices should have recused themselves from a case, said he could not point to other examples where a justice should have disqualified him or herself from a case concerning their book publisher.

Roth noted that Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanji Brown Jackson also have books in the works….

Too easy.

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

We see fit.

We’ve been getting more attempted trolling comments submitted in response to Eric Schmitt (r) has serious concerns about the financial dealings of Clarence Thom…oh, wait (May 5, 2023):

And surprise, surprise now we see Sotomeyer has received millions from Random House and refused to recuse herself in their cases! I say so what these Justices haven’t changed the way they would vote on any of these cases! Now if she suddenly voted conservative I would be like wow!

You left out Neil Gorsuch (r). How convenient.

Book contracts and royalties, reported on disclosure forms, or unreported vacations, travel, school tuition, to name just a few, provided by a billionaire. If you’ve got a concern with the former, you should definitely have a serious problem with the latter.

“…Now if she suddenly voted conservative I would be like wow!” As opposed to making a decision based on the law and the merits of the case.

Too easy.

It’s hard to tell.

You’ve got to be kidding! All of you. Sorry to tell you this but corruption permeates our government at all levels. Democrat, Republican, all skunks – the bassist opportunist to say they’re out to help us but enrich themselves. Go into elected public service and you will come out a millionaire just like Clinton, Obama, and Biden.

Jared got a $2,000.000.000.00 investment deal. Curiously, you didn’t mention that. So much for non-partisan, eh?

If “corruption permeates our government at all levels” as you assert, the subject of the post alone definitely indicates we’re not kidding.

All of who?

Millionaires? Name them. All of them.

Today we got another attempted trolling comment submitted in response to Elect Mark Alford (r), expect a circus (April 26, 2023), ostensibly in support of the congressman. The subject of Mark Alford (r) does bring out their best work:

Is this space only for woke Communists? I noticed that all of the comments were from dumb o crats . Fuck you all.

Communists? That’s seriously old school, like high button shoes. Mixing it with “woke” just doesn’t work from a generational perspective.

Yesterday we got another attempted trolling comment submitted in response to Elect Mark Alford (r), expect a circus (April 26, 2023), ostensibly in support of the congressman. The subject of Mark Alford (r) does bring out their best work:

The writer of this, stupid and dumb article is obvious a partisan writer. This person needs to be put out of the writers circle. It takes more than a good speller and grammar to make a good reporter. It takes ethics

Writer’s circle? Is that like a union, or something?

Curiously, good spelling and grammar are essential elements when it comes to literary criticism, online or not.

Ethics? It’s way past time to convene a blogger ethics panel. [I am aware of all Internet traditions.]

The Dunning-Krueger Effect demonstrated in 3.7 sentences. A new world record.

“…The writer of this, stupid and dumb article is obvious a partisan writer…” Sleeping in class really paid off there. Obviously.

This morning we got an attempted trolling comment submitted in response to Elect Mark Alford (r), expect a circus (April 26, 2023), ostensibly in support of the congressman, or something:

It sounds to me like all of these comments come from democrats, go figure, a group of ungodly, people

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.

A submitted comment:

Wow. Scientology is just guessing. Our native American Brothers an sisters already ready proved what’s going on with the climate. And spending billions of taxpayers dollars isn’t going to fix it. But that’s what democrats do. Biden has run this country into the ground and just about everyone here calls Republicans a cult. He’s done absolutely nothing for this country but sale us out. Atleast we still had a country under Trump. He didn’t kiss the queers ass and wasn’t letting every illegal immigrant in this country for taxpayers to pay for. Democrats have got to be the dumbest people on the planet. To believe all the horse shit Biden is putting out. You should be ashamed. And the democrats are only going after trump so hard because they know what will happen if a republican gets president The Clinton’s an Obamas and don’t forget Biden and the other geriatric fuck. Pelosi. They should be executed for the treason. But you idiots keep blowing off steam. It makes you feel better knowing your part of this countries problem. When the lines are done being made. Then we will fix this problem. An by the way. My sources aren’t fabricated internet bullshit. I worked for this ridiculous government for almost 8 years.

“…Scientology is just guessing….”

Then, it hit us. Our commenting troll was upset about some responses to Eric Schmitt’s (r) social media post which were quoted in Every right wingnut republican accusation is actually a confession, Eric (r). (March 11, 2023):

Did you fail all of your science classes?

[….]

No, it is science. A lot of citizens still believe in science. I wish you did.

[….]

Yeah sure, scientific facts and current extreme weather are just not a problem.

[….]

You’re right Eric, I trust you over the worlds leading scientists on this subject… [….]

[….]

It’s the cultists who cannot differentiate science from the occult.

You get the picture.

We’re doomed.

“…Atleast we still had a country under Trump. He didn’t kiss the queers ass…”

Where do you stand on drag shows? Just asking.

“…It makes you feel better knowing your part of this countries problem…”

Correct and resubmit.

“…I worked for this ridiculous government for almost 8 years.”

So, your participation helped create the problem that appears to upset you? How does that work?

“…When the lines are done being made. Then we will fix this problem…”

Are you sure you’re ready for lines?

“…Article came out…”

We’d pile on even more insults, but it’s a bit of a wasted effort when it flys over their litlle tinfoil propeller beanie covered heads.

From time to time a right wingnut concern troll will try to leave a comment 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.

An attempted comment to one of our posts critical of yet another of Eric Schmitt’s (r) pandering balloon tweets:

Thanks Eric for Standing up against the Bidens administration China 1st policy , America’s National Security last. Those knocking President Tump for not taking out China Spy Balloons during his time in office, get your facts straight. Article came out General Milley did not inform President Trump about spy balloons over the Unitd States. General Milley said Trump was too aggressive. Since when is standing up for your country’s National Security too aggressive. Wake up all who watch the Fake News & do your own research instead of believing everything you see & hear. God Bless America.

“…Wake up all who watch the Fake News…” Heh.

Actual Faux news:

“Faux News channel, fascist groupies” – protest sign, circa 2003- 2004.

“Thanks Eric for Standing up against the Bidens administration China 1st policy…”

Joe shot it down (Well, he issued the order).

“…do your own research instead of believing everything you see & hear…” WTF?

Not too clear on the “Show Me State” thing. Because actually seeing and hearing something is worse than what?

“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.

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

“Stupidity may be inherited. Ignorance is a personal choice.”

“…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…”

We see fit.

Pro-choice demonstration – Sedalia, Missouri – June 30, 2022

A post on yesterday’s pro-choice demonstration in Sedalia, Missouri went viral. Of course, that attractes right wingnuts who attempt to assert their perceived intellectual dominance:

What idiots. They sound retarded it’s not about it’s about the millions of babies they are murdering each day. Ban viagra that’s ok because it still won’t stop God from planting the seed of life ( a baby) in a woman’s uterus. Sure some pregnancies are horrendous in the way they happened but don’t give the baby the death penalty give the rapist instead

Uh, where to start?

“…They sound retarded…” As, say, opposed to illiterate and ignorant? What’s our troll’s excuse?

“…it’s about the millions of babies they are murdering each day…” However you count it – sperm, zygote, fetus, actual baby – that’s a lot at an annual rate. Our troll also appears to have issues with math literacy. That’s not a surprise.

“…it still won’t stop God from planting the seed of life ( a baby) in a woman’s uterus…” Ah, magic. That explains a lot, just not what our troll thinks it does.

They’re so insecure. Why show up here if they believe that they’ve got what they’ve always wanted?

And finally: When someone submits a comment here their email address and I.P. address are linked to the comment.
