  1. Just this week, did you catch the fake news about cutting down a 200 year old tree at the White House?

    I did. Didn't look particularly "fake" to me, what with the reasons for the removal being stated right there in the article and all.

    Believing that everything's a lie is no way to live, son.

  4. They could have just asked anyone who's ever actually worked in the news media, as this has been patently obvious to those of us who have.

  5. I think the agents provocateurs tossing about the idea that impeaching Trump somehow reverses the outcome of the election have never, ever sat the civics class that's a requirement for graduation from all US high schools. That's what I think.

  6. The election is long since over, and if Trump gets impeached today, we'll have President Pence tomorrow. Actual Americans understand this.

    TFTFY.

    Point taken.

  7. Impeach the fucking Cheeto and have Hillary Clinton take his place as president of the United States.

    No-one except idiot right-wing trolls are putting forth this nonsense, so just give it up already.

    The election is long since over, and if Trump gets impeached today, we'll have President Pence tomorrow. Actual Democrats understand this.

    Meanwhile, trolls like you keep going round projecting your butthurt over the popular vote onto them. This is completely transparent to anyone with a brain, and so you might as well stop wasting your time.

    Again, if you had told me in 2005 that people would consider JavaScript to be a good programming language, and would even be using it for server-side programming, I would have laughed in your face.

    And if you'd asked me in 2005, I could have saved you some embarrassment about a dozen years later by informing you that JavaScript had by that time already been in use on the server for about ten years.

    The problem with your statement is that every person had the option of ignoring technology and staying on the subsistence farm, using subsistence farming techniques. They chose to lave the farms of their own free will.

    You conveniently left out the part where Mozilla promised us customisability via extensions, then started breaking things once we got settled in on them.

    You also left out the part where Mozilla started making really boneheaded changes in the UI and tried to make it impossible for users to undo them.

    But, yes, let's blame all the users who took Mozilla at their word, by all means.
