    Nobody at all likes Hillary. Some people voted for her because of Trump, though

    I have first-hand knowledge of this.

    One of the few things the liberals get correct is that one should not leave them laying around loaded. They should be stored safely under lock and key.

    What good is having my gun stored under lock and key when the race war starts or a bear climbs through the window?

    I keep mine stuffed in the waistband of my pants like God intended. And let me tell you, there are challenges to carrying an AR-15 in the waistband of these old sweatpants. On the plus side, the fact that no bears have climbed through my window is proof that my gun is protecting my family.

    This tweet is not in the style of Trump, so it was most probably made by his staff.

    So, the President-elect's staff are special snowflakes who need safe spaces? [and no, it came from Trump's android phone]

    In the literal sense, they are retarded compared to children of similar age 40 years ago. Their grammar and word usage is worse, their punctuation is worse. Their grasp of mathematics is worse. Their knowledge of history is worse. Their cognizance of current events is worse.

    Trump's policy can be summed up as "If they're outside our borders, F**K 'em all!"

    I believe the exact quote is, "Fuck 'em all to death".

    I'm not saying the Nazis are right, but...

    Can we as a society agree that's a really bad way to start a sentence?

  10. As a sports fan, I would be OK with Amazon offering live sports, as long as it doesn't require non-sports fans to subsidize my enjoyment. But that's a little bit like me saying because I don't like the Gilmore Girls and Two Broke Girls, I shouldn't have to subsidize the people that watch those programs.

    But Amazon streaming video, including live sporting events, has one big issue to iron out, and that's Google. Right now, I pay to be able to watch giant men give each other brain damage on my home television and on my Android devices. Unfortunately, because Google and Amazon are having a pissing contest about putting Amazon video streaming apps on my Android devices, the only way for me to watch Amazon Prime video on my Android devices is to do a side-chain installation of something called "Amazon Underground" which wants access to my contacts and SMS messages and even the photos on my phone. When I try to turn those permissions off, Amazon Underground doesn't work and I can't watch Prime video.

    I understand that by using Android and Google I'm making myself part of the product that Google is selling. I don't want to do the same with Amazon, since I'm actually paying them money for Amazon Prime.

    I have to say it, folks. Looking across the pond and seeing what's going on in the US right now is so patently absurd, words fail me. I'm seriously worried.

    You need to link credible news sources, not fake news sites.

    I realize you're joking, but it's actually a gaslighting maneuver by the alt-right neo-nazis to say that any of the actual, professional news sources that they don't agree with are really "fake news sites". The real Nazis even had a word for it: Lügenpresse. See, if they can convince enough people that nothing is true, and everyone's lying, they can fill their heads with any old kind of bullshit and aim them at whichever group they want.

    And it should be no surprise that lügenpresse is a term that has been adopted by the alt-right neo-nazis in the US. The funny part is, that while at the same time denying that they're neo-nazis, they actually use the term in the original German.

    There was a joke from the late, great writer Molly Ivers about really enjoying a speech by George W. Bush and how it was probably even better in the original German. Little did she know that just over a decade later, we'd actually have right-wing political movements in the United States that are heil-ing and quoting the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and that mainstream Republicans would be cool with it.
