In reply to the discussion: The defenders on the TPP: "You don't know that" and "It's just speculation". Bullfuckingshit. [View all]Number23
(24,544 posts)182. It was implied that if that person made that into an OP, it would get recs presumably from
Obama supporters. That wasn't even close to what happened.
But I'd choose satire-impaired over reality-impaired any day of the week. But that's just me.
Edit: And I just checked and it got 42 recs! Pretty close to the 45 that someone else said it would. Although, not quite from the sources they were predicting. Does seem as though most people chose to ignore it completely. Not a bad decision.

Just as I suspected. Some Obama supporters are satire impaired. It's something that cannot be cured.

"1%" is, of course, a shorthand expression for the elite rich and the super-rich.
