The only thing more chickenshit than a cable personality/journalist asking a question prefaced with “people are saying…” is a cable personality/journalist prefacing a question with “what do you say to people who say…”

What’s wrong with owning your questions? What’s wrong with being direct? How about saying “why do you contend that…” or “you have been quoted as saying…what exactly do you mean by that?” How about “I hear you saying XYZ but I observe you doing ABC…why is that?”

@UnicornRiot

Don’t they know that smoking around these things is dangerous?

@emilygorcenski

So as a rule, it’s OK to degrade a person with their name…sometimes? Can you provide other examples where it’s OK to degrade a person?

@emilygorcenski

So making fun of somebody’s name like Shaniqua or Muhammad or Stein is OK?

@SLICEOFHOME

This is Onion territory.

@emilygorcenski

So, to be consistent, is calling him Danny to infantilize him and strip his hypermasculinity “name shamming”?

How much longer are we going to let these degenerate drag kings dress like men and sexualize our children? We need to keep them away from public view so our children don’t grow up to become fat, stupid buffoons!

I am not hostile toward people of faith, I just feel a lot better when they’re not around.

@emilygorcenski

Excellent! I think one of the best tactics to neutralize these coward ass pricks is to mock their masculinity. Make fun of their tiny penis and laugh. Their phony machismo bullshit is cover for the fetal position fear they have of not “measuring up “.

Hershey knows that even right wing fucks find chocolate irresistible.

Excellent. If I recall, isn’t Simi Valley home of the Ronald Reagan presidential library? Ventura County is pretty right wing isn’t in? It needs to be put in their face. Please report on the outcome.

@jtlg

I think you’re giving the tech heads too much credit. I think the reality is that bitcoin attracts the gullible, and the gullible attract grifters. NFTs are a transparent hoodwink.

@ieatkillerbees @michaelgemar

YES YES!!

I would love to see a mass of dildo parades converging on the capitals of the fascist drag queen haters. It could be good fun.

@StillIRise1963

Agreed! It’s like they pretend they don’t understand so that they can seem clever and/or elevated above the fray and capable of seeing “both sides”. It’s infuriating.

@buck

Would this be a Fox News mind virus?

When I was in middle school in the 70s, I had an elective class called “Buyer Beware”. We spent an entire semester talking about the ways companies market to us and they techniques they use to trick us into buying all the crap we don’t need. Of all the classes I had a middle school this was probably the most memorable and useful. I’m pretty sure nothing like that is taught today but I may be wrong.
