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?

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

Hey, Mark Alford (r), why don’t you ask the survivors of Bucha, Ukraine about Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (r) grotesque false equivalence?

Ukraine: Russian Forces’ Trail of Death in Bucha
Preserving Evidence Critical for War Crimes Prosecutions

The chief regional prosecutor in Bucha, Ruslan Kravchenko, told Human Rights Watch on April 15 that 278 bodies had been found in the town since Russian forces withdrew, the vast majority of them civilians, and that the number was expected to rise as more bodies are discovered. Prior to the conflict, Bucha had a population of about 36,000.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Compares Invading Russians to U.S. Migrants
BY AILA SLISCO ON 11/17/22 AT 7:59 PM EST

“We had 5 million people cross our border illegally since Joe Biden took office,” Greene said on Thursday, while flanked by GOP colleagues. “Let’s compare that to how many Russians have invaded Ukraine. 82,000 Russians have invaded Ukraine.”

[….]

Well, to start, the Russians used to have a lot of tanks.

She is that stupid.

Right now you’re showing us who you really are, Mark. Parse that.

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.

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

Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go…

Today, in Polo, Missouri:

Polo, Missouri – June 26, 2022.

Let’s see, a “religious” minority removes the right to bodily autonomy for all women and there are guns everywhere. Yeah, thats the…wait.

The population of Polo, Missouri is somewhere around 500.

There are subversives everywhere. The 2020 presidential election results for Grant Township, Caldwell County, Missouri:

112 subversives.

Once again, for the people who just got here

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.

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

A true believer?

This morning in west central Missouri:

It’s difficult at best to keep pasting on and then removing bumper stickers to conform with the right wingnut dogma of the moment. Or, they haven’t yet heard that the police aren’t their friends anymore since it’s now perfectly okay to scream at law enforcement in close quarters during one of those “Let’s Provide Future Confirmation of Darwin and the Dunning-Kruger Effect” rallies.

Personality cult

The “middle” is a myth.

Over 5,000 miles of driving in a month of road trips across America – from the desert Southwest to Washington, D.C.

Sunk costs. They will vote for Donald Trump (r), no one else, no matter what. Courting their votes in 2020 is a fool’s errand for any Democratic Party candidate. Inside the D.C. beltway conventional wisdom be damned. Fool’s errand, D.C. conventional wisdom – same difference.

They left out nude model and third wife:

Be best.

At the Lincoln Memorial

Donald Trump, fascists, Lincoln Memorial, MAGA, Trumpters

They could benefit from reading the panels – The Gettysburg Address, and the Second Inaugural Address:

We really don’t have to worry about Fascists taking over until their leader appropriates a national holiday to nurture his narcissism and promote his cult of personality.

A stain on the Lincoln Memorial

….President Trump’s takeover of Washington’s Fourth of July celebration isn’t just a logistical nightmare that’s disrespectful to the city, the nation and the holiday. His insistence on speaking at the Lincoln Memorial — and undoubtedly delivering the narcissistic ramblings that are the hallmark of his appearances — is an affront to President Abraham Lincoln’s spare brilliance, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s thundering oratory and Marian Anderson’s unforgettable contralto….

Oh, wait…

And, in a metaphor that reflects our times perfectly, the reflecting pool has been drained.
