Steve Bannon, Trump strategist and senior counsel, a real hit with the ladies.

[CashRules]

I mean he hits ladies. He actually hit one of his wives and then intimidated her until she failed to show up for his court hearing and the charges were dropped. Yes, he's been divorced three times. I can't understand it. It's not like he's ever said anything women could find offensive.

There's no hiring bias against women, they just suck at interviews.

The solution to online 'harassment' is simple: women should log off.

Birth control makes women unattractive and crazy.

Here he starts off talking about conservative women like Bachmann and Palin:

These women cut to the heart of the progressive narrative. You know, that's why there are the unintended consequences of the women's liberation movement. That, in fact, the women that would lead this country would be pro-family, they would have husbands, they would love their children. They wouldn't be a bunch of dykes that came from the Seven Sisters schools [note - this refers to the highly ranked traditional women's universities of the northeastern U.S.] in New England. That drives the left insane and that's why they hate these women.

Given that men built the internet, along with the rest of modern civilization, I think it's only fair that they get to keep it.

He's also undecided about what the punishment should be for women who have abortions.

[Blade Azaezel]

Until such time as a male equivalent is introduced, I have no other option than to call this man a thundercunt

thunderdick just sounds like a porn superhero.

[CashRules]

It's okay, it's the internet, it's ours, we can say what we want.

[aels]

I would like to thank you both for building the internet and allowing me to use it. It's very useful for online shopping as, being barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, I don't really get to go out much.

[CashRules]

Don't ever go on birth control.

[aels]

I'm already crazy so I'll just wait until I'm 35, the official Trump age at which all women become wizened unfuckable hagbeasts.

[Anakin McFly]

Well to be fair some of those articles were written by Milo Yiannopoulos, whom I'd say is possibly the person I dislike most in this world, if not for the fact that he delights in getting people to hate him. He elsewhere said that feminists were all angry lesbians trying to trick women into getting fat so that their boyfriends and husbands would leave them.

Fucks sake, guys, when I write 'TOP SECRET' on the front of the folder, you're supposed to keep the plan to yourself.

I think the Washington Post has a set limit of free articles per months so I include the text below if you are past your limit.

Give Steve Bannon a chance. It's not like he's literally Joseph Goebbels.
By Alexandra Petri

Listen, what proof do you have that this dead lizard wrapped in the Confederate flag will not make an excellent chief strategist and senior counselor to the president of the United States?

I, for one, believe that everyone deserves a chance.

You're not wrong that this appears to be a pig's head slowly rotting on a stake, grotesque insinuations pouring from its mouth as flies buzz around it in the island heat, but I would need to learn more about it, honestly. I'm no expert.

You say that this man just painted a swastika on a church but — couldn't it be a plus sign? We don't know. Some people are better at drawing plus signs than others. I wouldn't read anything into it. Maybe he just loves churches.

Yes, okay, this rabid opossum bit me on the ankle, then handed me an Islamophobic pamphlet, but we have no proof it wrote the pamphlet. This is America, where we give the benefit of the doubt.

You say, “potato enthusiastically supported by the Ku Klux Klan's David Duke"; I say, “controversial potato."

Just because something attracts anti-Semites and racists doesn't mean that it, itself, is either of those things. It doesn't mean that it supports their views. Who knows why anyone is attracted to anything? Weird coincidences happen all the time.

Listen, when we need to denounce an actual racist, anti-Semite, white supremacist, Islamophobe, you name it, I will be there. I promise. I will not hesitate to do that, when the time comes, clearly and appropriately labeled. I have yet to see one, but when I do, boy, I will light into him! It will be something to see.

This is not that.

I have no doubt that a real racist sexist chauvinist white supremacist will be easy to spot. “I am coming for minorities now," he will say. “I am an actual racist. I am, literally, Hitler, or at the very least Goebbels."

In fact, I recently read an article that pointed out, quite astutely, that we are not talking about LITERAL JOSEPH GOEBBELS here, and it reassured me a great deal. (When I think of positive things to say about people, the first place I go to is negative comparisons to Hitler's inner circle. That was what I said at my best friend's wedding during the maid-of-honor speech. “We don't know for a fact," I said, “that Emily is one of history's greatest monsters." If that is not a resounding endorsement of someone's character, I can't think what is.)

So I say, as many courageous members of Congress have said with me, what evidence do we have that Breitbart's Steve Bannon will be anything but a fine chief strategist and counselor to President Donald Trump?

We have no proof that he is threatening, other than his words and actions, the voices that he has given a platform to, and the ugly philosophy he has allowed to spread. We cannot possibly know what is in his heart. So, you know. Who knows.

There is no need to denounce him. We should wait and see. Hear him out.

But when something really counts, you bet I'll stand up and say something.

[Derived Absurdity]

We should be friends on FB if you're sharing stuff like that. That was Onion-esque.

It really does say something about our pundits when it took me three sentences to be absolutely sure that she was joking.

[Anakin McFly]

@aels - that was brilliant, ty for sharing.

People including Breitbart are claiming that reports of hate crimes are fabricated:

http://reason.com/blog/2016/11/11/elect ... tack-false
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government ... ginations/

A few seem to be untrue, because Snopes says so and I believe everything Snopes says. But it still doesn't address the rise in verbal harassment that my friends are reporting as well as the rash of hatred all over social media.

Also there needs to be a drinking game for this:
- calling white people racist is racist
- both sides are JUST AS BAD
- only Trump supporters are being attacked, stop making up stuff
- Trump won the popular vote too, Facebook said so
- stop being sore losers and get over it
- liberal crybabies need to stop protesting and get a job
- go back to your safe spaces
- cuck
- globalist cuck
- globalist SJW virtue-signalling cuck

Twitter shuts down alt-right accounts for breaching T&C with hate speech, people complain about first amendment rights
http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news ... /93943194/

Also, why are people still treating InfoWars as a basis for anything? Thats the site which still insists in all seriousness that Michelle Obama is a transgender woman and that Hillary Clinton is part of a satanic pedo sex cult.

[CashRules]

Damnit, it seems that the quote about birth control was falsely attributed to Bannon. It was published by Breitbart but he wasn't the one who wrote it. I should know that "the left" is just as likely to make shit up as "the right".

Latest John Oliver episode is relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv06XdjbVIM

@Cash - I think that one was more likely just lazy reporting, since other sites specified that those were headlines published under Bannon's editorship rather than by him, and reblogs probably misunderstood. There's a recent study going round where they analyzed articles from some of the most popular partisan pages on FB and found that right-affiliated pages posted about 38% fake/misleading news vs 19% on the left. The study itself might have been biased, but given how the right is less educated on average it would make sense that false articles spread more easily.

As Oliver said regarding that study, 19% is still fucking high

One of the most common false claims from the left has been the one that Trump once gave an interview saying he was going to someday run for President as a Republican because he knew he could fool the stupid people into voting for him. It never happened.

[Blade Azaezel]

No idea how people believed that anyway. A ridiculously quick google search proved it wrong too.

I've discredited that a few times on Facebook, and the last time, even after I posted the snopes article debunking it, I got a reply telling me, "there's a video." I'm like, did you even click the link I gave you?

[Derived Absurdity]

One of the most hilarious instances of this happening was the story about an official from the Bush administration admonishing someone for living in the "reality-based community", so liberals started referring to themselves as living in the "reality-based community". Stephen Colbert hugely popularized it. Turns out, of course, that never happened and that Bush administration official never existed.
