Someone tried to point out the dril tweet it's actually in reference to and Giordano went off on him. So... yeah. Hope it doesn't catch on because I still think that tweet is funny and would like to continue joking about it without it becoming offensive.

I agree with those suggesting this came from the Bannon faction. Kelly imposing discipline, and becoming a gatekeeper to Trump in every possible way is not good for them. Kelly is going to filter out all of the Breitbart conspiracies they try to pass on to him, and Trump and Trumpism needs a constant supply of garbage information or else he will turn into a less eloquent Ted Cruz.

dwarf74 posted:While it seems far-fetched, I suppose these are also the people who legitimately believe every mass shooting is a false flag, so sure, in that context. I'm not sure why this idea is so far fetched. The leaks have been ongoing for a while now and quite a few seem to be from insiders, not rank and file staffers. None of those insiders are Obama holdovers. This is how Trump runs his company, too. He encourages competition and cutthroat tactics from his people. Is it really all that surprising that he's getting it? None of these guys have any real sense of loyalty except to their pet causes, Bannon in particular (with the exception of the Generals, who I don't believe are behind any leaks).

Can we at least try to keep a tenuous connection to reality around here ffs First, until something new happens today that is huge and stupid and wildly unethical, conversation is gonna drift a bit. You can take comfort in (and simultaneously be horrified by) the absolute certainty that you won't need to wait long for that to happen. Second, if we really were to "keep a tenuous connection to reality" we wouldn't be able to discuss half the poo poo that is actually happening, because every legit news story this year is something that would have sounded like crazy rambling bullshit from a paranoid lunatic a year ago.

Wikipedia says that 'corncob' was a synonym for 'cornhole' from the 70s, but I've never particularly heard it used that way.

They got called corncobs by folks making fun of them, didn't know what it meant, then went to urban dictionary where "corncobbing" is something along the lines of "getting hosed over like up the butt with a corncob" and "corncob" is "a term my friends use around teachers when we can't say gay slurs". Both of these are low level ancient definitions and I strongly doubt they can point to a single use outside urban dictionary. It's worth noting that Al Giordino had a weird twitter glitch for a while where anyone who criticized him would have their account locked due to too many password attempts. Hm. Funny that.
