If you're comparing it to Three Mile Island it's not that bad. I mean, sure, that was not a good event, but it was far from the disasters like Love Canal or Centralia.

When Trump was gaining serious momentum Adams posted that article about how Trump obviously is a "master persuader" and uses hypnotism techniques to sway crowds. Adams has a lot of his ego tied to Trump winning right now and constantly backpedals. He's said that Hillary will win so he'll vote for her to avoid retribution, that Hillary's campaign has another "master persuader" using the same techniques as Trump and Adams, that he's going to publicly support Gary Johnson but vote for Trump because he's afraid that if he openly supports Trump he'll be the target of violence, that Trump being a misogynist was as sudden and unpredictable as him being killed by a meteor (because he can never be wrong about anything) and a whole lot of other stupid bullshit.

Reminder that Scott Adams literally believes in The Secret-style wishes and that his horrible Dilberrito failed because of sabotage.

He's also been caught multiple times pretending to be a female fan of Dilbert to try and win online arguments.

For a while every other week he would go "well I'm going to endorse insert not-Trump candidate here" in the middle of giving Trump a big, sloppy blowjob in blog form. Once he said straight out that he was endorsing Clinton because otherwise she'd have him killed (while still making it clear he's actually going to vote Trump). He's "openly" for Trump now though.

It's not just Leak, there has been push against Section 18C and the Human Rights Commission in general from the right for a while now, especially from News Corp. papers. For every one of these Leak cartoons in the Australian there has been at least one editorial or opinion piece along with half a dozen letters to the editor.

I say, hey, listen to me!
Stay sane inside insanity!!!

quote:

The Clintons are perhaps the most corrupt political family in American history. The Bushes may be second, but even they maintained a certain decorum in the White House. Neither Bush president would think of cussing out a secret service man or angrily hurl a White House antique at a spouse. The Clintons are at heart common grifters. They’re lying, vulgar confidence tricksters who continue to enjoy pushing the criminal envelope because they’re used to getting away with their crimes. Both should be in prison. Right now.

They get away with their sordid deeds because they have the backing of powerful figures such as Soros and the Rothschilds. The mainstream media are owned by a handful of big corporations, which back Hillary. The central bankers back Hillary. Some of the most leading and influential companies such as Google and Amazon back Hillary. Yahoo backs Hillary. Monsanto backs Hillary. Twitter backs Hillary. Zuckerberg is hedging his bets, but another Facebook founder gave $20 million to Hillary. The Saudis back Hillary and have also given her many millions of dollars. Saudi Arabia is a country that chops off heads, throws gays off buildings and are incredibly abusive towards women. Hillary welcomes their support and money. I can almost hear her say, “Ya know, it’s all about the dough—what difference does it make where it comes from?”

In short, the elite back Hillary. Most of them want globalism and open borders for America. They want endless immigration—especially Muslim immigration. Many will not integrate because their religion demands Sharia Law above all other systems. They won’t want to follow our Constitution. Soros knows this. He wants to promote division and strife to bring down our society to help usher in globalism—with his ilk running the show, of course.

The 10th of 1 percent at the top of the pyramid helps allow The Clinton Machine to continue chugging’ along and doing what it does–breaking the law as a matter of course. Hillary knows she is above the law. Anyone can see the contempt she has for us all—it’s in her eyes. That’s why very few attend her pathetic rallies. Most people know it’s all fake. She’ll say whatever it takes to get elected and then she’ll carry out what she and the elite want.

It may be hard to imagine, but she will be even worse than Obama. There will be more opacity and abuse aimed at truth tellers and whistleblowers. There will be more police state encroachment on citizens. More false flags to get us to turn in our guns. Worst of all, more war. Hillary loves war.

Standing up against The Clinton Machine is Donald Trump. He’s a flawed human being like the rest of us, but at this juncture in history he’s the only one capable of standing up to the Clinton Machine. He gave up his risk-free, lavish lifestyle to take them on. He’s had to face assassination threats as well as a parade of insults and false accusations. Why would he subject himself to the Clinton meat grinder? Because he really does want to make America great again. Right now, he’s the only one who can stand up against The Clinton Machine.

We need to stand up for Trump.

Once he said straight out that he was endorsing Clinton because otherwise she'd have him killed (while still making it clear he's actually going to vote Trump). He's "openly" for Trump now though.

Since I've been regularly posting his blog posts for a while in the RWM thread, I'll present a timeline of Scott Adams' endorsements.

His first endorsement was on June 6 where he endorsed Clinton. His reason for endorsing Clinton was that if the left really does think that Trump is Hitler 2.0, then it stands to reason that they would definitely want to kill any Hitler supporters, and thus:

quote:

So I’ve decided to endorse Hillary Clinton for President, for my personal safety. Trump supporters don’t have any bad feelings about patriotic Americans such as myself, so I’ll be safe from that crowd. But Clinton supporters have convinced me – and here I am being 100% serious – that my safety is at risk if I am seen as supportive of Trump. So I’m taking the safe way out and endorsing Hillary Clinton for president.

His second endorsement was on September 25 where he switched his endorsement from Clinton to Trump. The number one reason for changing his endorsement was because of the estate tax.

quote:

I have been saying I am not smart enough to know who would be the best president. That neutrality changed when Clinton proposed raising estate taxes. I understand that issue and I view it as robbery by government.

He also stated that Clinton is too unhealthy to be a good president, as this was when the "Clinton is on the verge of death!" right-wing talking points were in full force, and ended the post with this statement that is hilarious in retrospect:

quote:

And I can also distinguish between a deeply unhealthy person and a healthy person, even though I have no medical training.

On October 8, right after the Billy Bush tapes were released, Scott Adams changed his endorsement to Gary Johnson.

quote:

I hereby change my endorsement from Trump to Gary Johnson, just to get out of the blast zone. Others will be “parking” their vote with Johnson the same way. The “shy Trump supporter” demographic just tripled.

He then went on to use the joke "I endorse Johnson because he only touches himself" three times in later blog posts.

His final endorsement came yesterday, October 25 where he endorsed Trump once again with this ridiculous quote:

quote:

I endorse Donald Trump for President of the United States because I oppose bullying in all its forms.

This concludes the history of Scott Adams' endorsements.

:spooky:-rsRD :spooky:

It's close to midnight and something banal's lurking
in the dark
Under the screenlight you see a post that almost stops
your heart
You try to type, but habit takes your hands before
you make it
You start to write, as it looks you right between
the eyes
You realize

You're making Hitler, Hitler tripe
And no one's gonna save them from the burns you're gonna
type
You know it's Hitler, Hitler tripe
You're fighting for your life against a filler
Hitler tonight

You hear the keys click and realize there's more to
what you've done
You see the butt dick and you know that the fightin's just
begun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just
imagination
But all the while you feel the dark posts creepin' up
your mind

'Cause this is Hitler, Hitler tripe
There ain't no real defense against the man from
the Third Reich
You know it's Hitler, Hitler tripe
You're fighting for your life against a filler
Hitler tonight

Your comments fall
And the quote nests start in their grim parade
There's no escapin' the laws of the internet this time
(Though you try)
This won't defeat their gripe

They're out to get you; there's wingnuts closing in on
every side
They will contest you unless you change the subject to
your aisle
Now is the time for you and I to muddle facts
forever
All through the night you'll tell them they're the bad men in
this screed
They will concede

That they're a Hitler, Hitler tripe
'Cause I can own you more than callout post
would ever dare try
Dude, you're a Hitler, Hitler tripe
So let me set you right and share a iller, swiller

"Darkness falls across the land
the Godwin hour is close at hand
Pundits trawl in search of takes
to terrorize y'all's tweeting place
And whosoever shall be found
without the nerve for doubling down
Must stand and face the rants and shouts
and rot inside the tweets called out

The foulest tricks will only tread
the memes of forty thousand threads
And grizzled hicks from every end
are posting poo poo to keep the trend
And though you fight to stay adult
your body starts to quiver
For no mere mortal can resist
the evil of the Hitler"

Apparently actual American Indians will call themselves Indians because being mistaken for a different continent 500 years ago doesn't really offend them. I prefer "Native Americans" myself, but that's mostly for clarity because Indian Americans from India are also a thing.

And if you want to feel offended by Star Trek's handling of Native Americans, there's always Chakotay. Did you know the cultural advisor they got to inform Chakotay's character was a con man who had been exposed over ten years earlier?
