The Daily Mail jumped the gun a bit and ran the story about the United passenger having a history of poor anger management and a bunch of other things I can't be bothered to remember. Thing is... they got the wrong David Dao. All this "dirt" RWM thinks it's digging up is on the wrong guy.

Yeah they were right after all about Dao. Some of the media guys are pretty smug about the people that "jumped to conclusions" that they were wrong.

When you become a police officer, you gain instantaneous previous knowledge of everyone's rap sheet in hindsight. In order to catch a criminal, you must become a criminal yourself.

Edible Hat posted:Scott Adams is saying that Trump "started in the deepest hole of any president ever". How does one become this dumb and ahistorical and unconvincing? This is borderline fascinating at this point. Trump could sign the "Taking a Daily Presidental Dump into Scott Adam's Open Mouth Act of 2017" and Adams would probably go "He's just gaming my expectations and making the amazing steak he will serve me in 2018 seem even better in comparison, you noobs!" Has there been anything, however small, the Dilbertman considered a bad thing or at least poorly handled?

Every black male victim usually gets it. Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown got the worst of it. I remember a video going around of a random black male that fit the body profile of Brown (but wasn't him) hitting someone else, and people saying "see?? He's not really a gentle giant!"

Sephyr posted:Has there been anything, however small, the Dilbertman considered a bad thing or at least poorly handled? Yes, actually. When the Billy Bush tapes came out, Adams made a big deal out of changing his endorsement to Gary Johnson, because he said if the allegations against Trump were true, he is completely unfit for the office. For a few days he would repeat a joke he thought was totally clever, that "I endorse Gary Johnson because he only touches himself." Whether he was seriously endorsing Johnson or not, who knows, and of course he gave that up after a couple of weeks, but even he had to admit that the tapes made Trump look like a sexual predator. By the way, US relations with Russia being at an "all-time low," according to Trump? It's all just 3D chess from the Master Persuader. quote:In the 2nd dimension – where things are just the way they look – it does seem that the U.S. and Russia are in a bad place with each other. The United States attacked Russia’s little buddy, Assad, for allegedly using chemical weapons. But Russia says Assad didn’t use chemical weapons. Now Russia is mad at the United States.

For some reason, Adams has latched onto Trump as the ultimate Master Persuader 3D-thinker mind control expert that Adams thinks he himself is. If it turns out that no, Trump is just a buffoon who failed up his whole life thanks to daddy's money and never had any idea how to run the country because it was all a grift to make money from rubes by promising them the moon and then launching Trump TV after he lost to sell "Hillary rigged the vote to stop me from doing all the contradictory impossible things I promised", then it means Adams was a dumbshit all along and everything he saw in Trump was just the confirmation bias that Adams thinks he's immune to. Adam's entire self-image of being a Master Persuader is now wrapped up in Trump, so everything Trump does no matter how stupid it appears, must be all part of a master plan. Even if it directly contradicts what Adams said the master plan was yesterday, that's just more proof that Trump is even more brilliant than he thought and is always one step ahead of everyone. The question is: is there any limit to the insane lengths he'll go to double down, or will it get too retarded even for Adams to continue with a straight face at which point he flips to "Master Persuading cannot fail, it can only be failed. Watch as I explain how Trump failed the Master Persuasion philosophy" VitalSigns fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Apr 13, 2017 |

IIRC that was never a serious endorsement and Adams obviously never planned on doing anything but voting Trump. It was something like "if I say I support Trump then Hillaryites will call me a predator, therefore I support Johnson *wink* btw what Trump said on that tape is 100% true all women want to be fingered by rich men so can rich men ever rape, answer no they can't here's an anecdote about my rich friend who drops every panty in a hundred mile radius"

Master Shake posted:On Wednesday’s Mark Levin show, It’s amazing what a new President and new administration can do with serious people running a serious foreign policy. Look at the change in China and Russia. Russia is on its heels and reports are that China is putting pressure on North Korea. The way you defeat Vladimir Putin is the way Ronald Reagan defeated the Soviet Union, by building up the military and unleashing the economy. Then we will crush Russia and China without firing a shot.

Scott Adams thinks only losers take vacations from work, which he spent years making comics about how much that sucked. He's an idiot and his opinions on anything couldn't be more worthless.

Rosland Capital was one of the few advertisers who stuck with Glenn Beck right to the end. They're an old people scam company that sells gold and silver bars. Remember: one of Beck's big pet issues was tricking his elderly audience into buying gold because the stock market was going to crater and the US dollar was going to be worthless under Obama. Rock Auto being on there disappoints me though. I've ordered stuff from them before and they've got really good deals on hard to find stuff and they ship really fast. They probably just don't give a poo poo that Bill O'Reilly's a serial rapist because he has a huge audience who see their ads

It's nice how the quoted section has Adams never mentioning anything benefiting the real people (residents of US, RU, and the entire rest of the planet). It's all a game of sleazy rich authoritarian men gaining Bank points and Smart Guy points, which is impressive to Scott. And good to know that it's somehow very pragmatic for the US to have the most shameful healthcare system of any first-world nation, and a top-down decree from POTUS to ignore climate change. Same for Russia's creepy expansionism, virulent homophobia, and extreme right-wing foreign election interference. The true mark of a pragmatic nation is massive fatal drug epidemics going largely unchecked. Dilbert man sounds like a persuasionism cultist at this point, it makes me wonder how often he talks with others instead of just at other people. I can't tell if there's any point to his writing anymore, since he seems to have abandoned the part where he explains how Trump is actually good (instead of just a creepy liar). sweart gliwere fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Apr 13, 2017 |
