So true about how the worst thing (or one of the worst things, at least) about these dull fanatics is just how fanatically dull they are.
Could it be, though, that the Reagan mug is there just to demonstrate Kohl's political credentials - while, off-camera, he sips fine sen-cha from old Imari teacups?
"People who get paid to do a job are just getting paid to act like it's their job by doing it." I can't wait for his take on evolution. "Stuff happens." "Fantastically dull" is a very kind way to put it.
and if she had, she would have used the money to fund the Sandinistas, not the Contras, who were, of course, the moral equivalent of our Founding Fathers.
The size of that dude’s microphone is definitely compensating for something. (The universal microphallism of pseudoconservative spokesmen is part of my rich, colorful alternative reality.)
The theory itself isn't even new, although first time around it was slightly more entertaining. Back in the day, fundie wingnut David Noebel claimed that the Beatles were not only Commie frontmen, but that Lennon & McCartney were too uneducated to have written their own songs. A few decades later, some LiveJournaler updated it to say that the Fab Four were Illuminati dupes who were unaware of the "occult themes" in their later works.
In the sixties, a California Congressman named James B. Utt (R – Orange County…imagine!) inveighed against the Beatles, describing them as “paid agents of Moscow” whose music employed “Pavlovian jungle rhythms” to sap and impurify American youth. The guy was regarded, at least outside his district, as a nutcase during his lifetime (1899-1970). Today, of course, he’d be GOP mainstream.
There's a yooje gap, on the right, between "Capitalism allows us to fulfill our individual potential, because freedom," and "Why is my life so dreary?" So the answer *has to be* secrets and malign conspiracies. It's downhill (into the earth's mantle, where the lizard people reside) from there.
Also, their on-mic perfs may be wretched, but they're like the high school reporters you hear on the radio, on Radio Rookies or some other NPR/PRI kids' program: EV-rybody TALKS in a SING-SONG way/Because THAT, to THEM, is HOW you TALK in a FOR-mal SET-ting.
Yeah. The exaggerated cadence of this specimen is almost identical to Cleese's BBC twit announcer voice, minus the British accent. Of course, that was intentionally ridiculous.
It's as though 'slur' has a syntactic function, like subject, verb object etc. apart from any typical meaning for the words they use. Surrounded by a bunch of frothing outrage, the word , 'actor' in this case, takes-on the characteristics of that context.
So that whatever word is put in that place takes-on 'slur ' meaning, merely from it's place in the sentence, or paragraph.
I really liked this post; it's actually a good "breaks it down" essay. That these people have been sad, pathetic losers for decades has long been clear. That they have as many followers as they do is sadder still. I think that were it not for vicious right wing billionaires throwing them the crumbs they need to finance their rants, we would actually see much less of this crap. But for the wealthy, this is the bread and circuses that distract the ignorant masses so they can keep raping and pillaging the land at will.
Thank you for noting the paucity of imagination on the conspiracy theory crackhead side. There's an average sort of nonexceptional boring person, and then there's these guys. No reverse vampires on that side!
Now that the Don is in the clear for a few more months, the minitrue is going on the attack and into overdrive to generate prolefeed – the steady stream of mindless entertainment to distract and occupy the masses so as to achieve bellyfeel ( blind, enthusiastic acceptance of an idea) no matter how crimbecile (an idea so ludicrous that the subject must want to believe it.)

"Fantastically" dull? Like Pope's divine Dullness?
She comes! she comes! the sable throne behold
Of Night primeval and of Chaos old!
Before her, Fancy's gilded clouds decay
And all its varying rainbows die away.
Wit shoots in vain its momentary fires,
The meteor drops, and in a flash expires...
I might sometimes watch Laura Ingraham or Sarah Sanders or "Judge" Pirro if I thought they could ever attain such heights!
Honestly, I think I just need new glasses. Sorry.
The projections from the crowd who worshipped an actual actor fronting for big-moneyed interests just keep coming.
(As far as we know, AOC hasn't held secret, illegal "negotiations" with Iranian mullahs for hostages. Yet. )

Incidentally, anybody want to start spreading the story that Diamond and Silk is a drag act?
Their makeup isn't even close to good enough for that.
Shuck and Jive are a waste of many things, up to and including makeup.

How is it *I* am the one on antipsychotics? Though I'm gonna say, after reading this I have an urge to up the dose on my own.

On a related note, it was only a few years ago that Grover Norquist openly stated that all he, his House and Senate allies, and their billionaire benefactors needed from a President was to sign the bills they wrote for him: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2012/2/13/1064417/-Grover-Norquist-on-the-GOP-candidates-All-we-need-is-someone-who-can-handle-a-pen

So when Lizard people mate can they mate with our species or is that impossible? I'm doing a report.
