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.

Attempted trolling comments submitted today in response to Addressing Bigotry – Warrensburg, Missouri City Council – April 24, 2023 (April 25, 2023):

Some of us happen to agree this is a detestable event. Evidence was given to City Council exposing the truth of the content of those events.
Do your homework instead of a sales pitch!

Evidence? We were there in 2021 and 2022. How about you?

They tried it again:

Some of us happen to agree this is a detestable event. Evidence was given to City Council exposing the truth of the content of those events.
Do your homework instead of a sales pitch!

Then, another:

Most of us are NOT in support of this kind of behavior and want children protected! PERIOD!!
It’s sad we can’t all agree we need to be on the same page. Which would be that page labeled , Moral. Kudos to those standing up for justice, morals. and the Children.

“Some of us…”? “Most of us…”? Which is it? Get your talking points in order.

With all the respect due to you, take your pages and shove them up your bigoted self-righteous ass.

Dumbasses.

Meanwhile, we think we’ll have an ice cold beer or two.

This is just too easy.

We see fit.

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

Bless your tiny sanctimonious heart.

Oh, and go fuck yourself.

Yesterday:

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 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.

A right wingnut’s indignant response (to this), posted this morning:

This whole thing is a joke. The only person killed that day was a woman killed by the police. Why aren’t they going after the rioters from the “summer of love”?

Because smearing shit on the walls of our nation’s capitol building during a constitutionally mandated transfer of power is something we can all get together and laugh about.

Pro-life, eh? How many police officers were seriously injured and how many died in the aftermath? We’ll wait.

Pro tip: If you’re a person participating in an insurrection who makes an unauthorized entry into Federal facility and you’re trying to climb through a just broken door window into a sensitive area in front of an armed law enforcement protection officer they’re going to pull the trigger.

Well, you’re celebrating the “January of Fascist dumbasses.”

It’s just too hard for some people to let go of their cult:

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

And finally:

…when someone submits a comment here your email address and I.P. address are linked to the comment…

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.
