This week, our first place winner on the insightful side is Thad with a simple comment about the judicial smackdown of Trump’s IRS settlement:
Bar referrals. Finally.
In second place, it’s Stephen T. Stone with a comment about J. K. Rowling threatening to sue Amnesty International:
Transphoba destroys an otherwise normal person from the inside out. It is a brainrot that rips apart someone’s soul and replaces it with a hatred so unyielding and all-consuming that it damn near becomes that person’s entire personality. God, imagine actually hating trans people because they’re brave enough to take charge of their fucking body and live in it the way they want to live in it. Imagine being that much of a motherfucking coward.
For editor’s choice on the insightful side, we start out with an anonymous reply to the question of why China wouldn’t want to support Trump:
Because even China understands that Trumps instability and unpredictability is bad for the entire world and it affects them even if it enables them to step up and become a leader on the global stage.
Next, it’s an anonymous commenter passing on a relevant quote after the law firms that cut deals to dodge a fight with Trump ending up in a fight with him over the deals:
‘You were given the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour, and you will have war.’ – Winston Churchill to Neville Chamberlain
Over on the funny side, things are a little slow again this week, so we’ll forego the editor’s choice and just look at the top two winners. In first place, it’s Thad again with a comment about Trump’s election fraud claims:
Yeah, but even Fox is nervous about repeating Trump’s election fraud claims, for some reason.
Or for 787.5 million reasons, as the case may be.
In second place, it’s another anonymous quip about Trump fighting with law firms:
MAGA: Making Attorneys Get Attorneys.
That’s all for this week, folks!
