50. The Trick Here, Is To Ignore Their Bait Completely.....
Thu Apr 30, 2026, 10:24 AM
Apr 30

If MAGAts post that the sky is actually a paisley design in orange and olive green, should we argue atmospheric science with them?

If MAGAts post that Somalis here are eating cats, dogs, pets, should we gather police reports and statistics to prove them wrong?

If MAGAts post that "4547" is a magical number that the holder uses to turn lead into gold, must we answer with an essay about alchemy?

IOW, why give idiocy the time of day? Comey's case will be thrown out.
