and all the sheep are bleating it practically in unison, all trying to sound dead clever.

They're failing. They always fail. They're too fucking stupid to care.

16. Any form of communication that MANDATES 140 characters only is craptacular...

I have had a Twitter account since its inception a decade or so ago. We used it for IM during online gaming because it was easy to text on a phone and stay in a game on consoles that had lesser support...we used it for a few months and then something better was released and Twitter went on to become accepted as "real communication".

I HATE that...

I wouldn't have believed that anybody could be so shameless in spewing such utter bullshit--with such utter conviction, which makes it even worse.

32. With this logic they'll blame him for the original 9/11 attack

They would blame him for Pearl Harbor except then they would have to admit he is from Hawaii and not Kenya.

Katrina hit in 2005, well before Obama was president.

17. A 2013 poll found that 29% of Louisiana Republicans believed Obama "was responsible for Katrina"

It might shock them to know that Senator Obama was doing what few GOP senators ever do: his job.

21. His supporters really are not swift, to put it kindly. Really. That's why they're supporters...

and fall for his manipulations and lies, and why they think Trump gives a sh*t about "the working man."

There are a few who are not that stupid, but they are uninformed, don't keep up with current events, watch only FoxNews, so they are living in an alternative reality.

31. We from our perspective yes

but they can count cards and stuff. Political intelligence and calculation/language intelligence are two distinct things. Though we have indeed seen that they struggle with the language thing.
