Dumbfuck in charge

PDub recruited him for the role he's playing. To quote a high level authority in his camp, 'no rational person would believe this crap.'

You’re giving Dubs too much credit. More likely Dubbie is just and idiot and too dumb/scared to do the right thing.

I was banned during the week KU played USC (and we lost, so I blame Pdub's karma for that loss). He also edits and deletes my postings in ways that I cannot do anything about. It's his site, I get it. He can do what he wants. Just pointing out that he's not exactly coddling me.

Can't everyone just "foe" him?

[Overlander]

I did. Also, stop quoting him.

[Cascadia]

No surprise that Mjl comes to Lobby’s defense.

I said it was a "rumor." Do you guys know what a "rumor" is?

Let me guess. You didn't bother to read any of the responses to the tweet. Am I right?

1. Interesting coming from the poster most similar to Lobster.
2. It's not coming to his defense, it's hoping to get to stop seeing his bullshit when you all quote him. But, see #1 to see why you probably can't understand that.

According to Cascadia, MJL is a "Trumper."

I don't think anyone quite captures the essence of Trump better than David Roth.

What Exactly Is Donald Trump Upset About Here?

https://defector.com/what-exactly-is-do ... bout-here/

One of the defining aspects of the highly caffeinated conservative cable news sludge that Trump still chugs thirstily from morning until night is that it is hard to understand. It is intended to induce a state of heated clammy umbrage in the slack and softening minds of its consumers, and reliably does that, but it does this more through tone and frequency than by means of information. The point is to keep everyone watching both very upset and kind of curious about what exactly they’re upset about. This worked both on Trump and for him, but in no way can it be said to have made him more informed. Nothing on earth has ever really done that, but the idea is to repeat things enough that even passive viewers will be able to pick up the broad strokes, learn the heroes and villains and outrages and memes, get upset when they’re supposed to get upset and keep watching through the commercial breaks. Someone who watches enough hours of this will become not just familiar with but wholly conversant in all the salty phonemes that make up its language, but never quite know what the fuck they’re talking about.

For an example of what this might sound like, here is a two-minute video of Donald Trump calling into Newsmax, a cable news channel that broadcasts the maximum amount of news allowable by law, talking about what a shame it is that Major League Baseball moved its All-Star Game out of Atlanta in response to Georgia’s new slate of laws aimed at making voting more onerous, annoying, and difficult to do. The stuff that approaches fact in the discussion is wildly, 180-degrees wrong—there’s no reasonable comparison between Colorado and Georgia’s voting laws, for starters—but mostly they are just kind of making the same sounds back and forth.

The big guy just loves to talk and truly loves to be on TV, but also his dedication to television and congenital blowhard incuriosity makes it difficult for him to communicate beyond aiming to replicate the various smears of color and noise that he encounters there. Here, later in the same conversation, we see Trump running aground when asked whether his people should boycott MLB in response to the woke, the thing with the woke that is actually very sad, with the All-Star Game, that no one cares about but which is really so regrettable.

Be done with the propaganda. Get yourself vaccinated. Live again.

You can do it.

Bet there's plenty on a ventilator in your "great" state that thought they could live again.

It's not unreasonable to think that, when all of the dust settles here, Trump's vanity, idiocy and selfishness will have cost a half-million American lives.

Pretty neat that a third of the country still worships at the altar.

[Sparko]

Crazy how easy it was for Russia to co-opt the republican party and turn public health into a personal freedom shout fest. It will kill a lot more Americans.

[MICHHAWK]

Not me. I'm vaccinated.

Yes, and at some point we really need to do the hard investigative work to unpack this.

[Sparko]

Mich, that is a good thing. Talk to folks who are reading Putin’s antivax screeds up there.
