This thread reminds me of that episode of Community where Troy walks into his apartment with a box of pizza only to find that everyone inside has gone nuts and everything is on fire

That was truly the darkest timeline. Hopefully @Foxi4 understands the reference, or he will just think I'm talking about the election of Warnock.

@UltraSUPRA will not be joining us for the remainder of this thread's limited lifespan, I asked nicely. The same rule will be applied to anyone else purposefully breaking the rules just for the sake of using inflammatory language and causing arguments. The politics section was designed with civil discussion in mind, anyone who can't meet this (rather low) bar of acceptable behaviour will be suspended until after the inauguration.

Clarification: Where does dunking on someone become unacceptable? Is it a language, tone or insult-count issue? If I insult someone in the midst of a message laden with substance, is it okay? If I prove that they are, in fact, a monkey-brained simpleton, am I allowed to call them that?
I'm half joking, but I am looking for the line so I can remain funny while not causing problems.

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

A dark winter is coming.

Type out your message, read it to yourself and figure out if you would feel personally slighted if you were on the receiving end - that's a pretty good benchmark. I'm not opposed to having a bit of fun, but if the post is using derogatory language, denigrates a user's innate characteristics, religion or strongly-held beliefs, it has to go. There's a fine line between funny and mean-spirited, so if you think your post is the funny kind, you better hope I'll laugh when I read it.

Honestly though, just don't call people names y'all. Imagine you're arguing with grandma or something.

I'll just wait till the last moment to make my final speech... Lol.

This man is smart.

Well you know, gotta keep the best for last... Then get suspended for a few hours... Then be back in the game for the next brutal topic of discussion. Lol... Honestly I'm looking forward for the end of the inauguration, but not really for the end of this discussion.

On the note of song references:
Donny got them hit-rock-bottom jeans
Man never learns
The world looks at us now and sees a giant turd

dogpiling on people who are obviously wrong will never truly die on the internet

On one hand, I yearn for this to end.
On the other hand, I moreso yearn for this to sit and steep at a level reasonable enough to stay alive but just crazy enough to serve as peak comedy.
Too hot, too cold, just right. (Not just right-wing, though- there's already enough of those echo chambers, and I'm glad this isn't one of them.)

Nobody seriously attempted, nor advocated for, overthrowing the results of the 2016 election.

Except famous people: (at 03:00)
People tried to overthrow the results for 4 years by advocating the "nothing burger" Russia Gate.

Russia objectively meddled in the 2016 election, and regardless, nobody seriously tried to overthrow the election results.

The tried to impeach Trump, which is a way to overtthrow election results. Wikipedia is biased in terms of politics.
I have known this for many years based on how German editors edit articles.
Russians are the scape goat of the West. Maybe I am a Russian bot.

Would be kinda nice if Biden did what no other President has done, and finally recognize the Armenian genocide.

Don't think so. Friendly reminder of what Joe was a part of.

 

[Darth Meteos]

Don't think so. Friendly reminder of what Joe was a part of.

Friendly reminder that the guy leading that effort won the Nobel Peace Prize before he did anything, and never got it rescinded.

Without mincing words: FUCK Obama.

Yeah, it's pretty amusing how the guy who won a Nobel Peace prize was such a warmonger. I'm sure Doctors without Borders don't miss Obama.

It would be pretty nice for a US President to recognize the Armenian Genocide though.

I maintain that McCain would've been even worse, especially with Sarah Palin as VP, but that just goes to show American politics are a special kind of dumpster fire in which we only get to choose between bad and worse. Center-right and far-right. It's why I'm still itching to make a permanent move out of this country. At best, Biden is a temporary reprieve from fascism, he doesn't have the balls nor the desire necessary to root it out at the source.
