This is how my Saturday started.
Here’s a guy who’d followed me on Twitter for several years, who would DM me with kind words and old movie suggestions:
and:
The he happened to read a post on my personal blog. And, he did NOT like it.
Okay, that’s fine, whatever. I’m not a newsman, so yeah, my blog is opinion, but I’m fine with people not agreeing with me. Who the fuck cares?
After thinking about it a little longer, though, my friend realizes he’s a little angrier than he thought he was:
Ok, we disagree.I will dispute that is was “nasty”, and it wasn’t directed at him, or at any one personally, but hey, It’s Saturday, let’s get out of our respective houses and go do something fun!
OR, spend several hours stewing and digging yourself into a hole of self loathing and hatred:
Oh, Well! So much for being one of his favorite people, amiright??
Here cometh the PMS issue:
I left the house to attend a rally with my friends in Compton at which Bill Clinton was speaking (I shook his hand!!). When I returned, I saw that the lil feller had descended deeper into crazy town than a Palin at a meth-fueled Wasilla snowmobile party.
Here’s comes the whore epithet!
Thanks for mansplaining what a “whore” is.
Love Seth but weirdly, we are not the same person.
But you just said…..oh, whatever.
I have no idea.
Not sure I’m seeing the positive in this from Sanders’ side, but ok.
I am simultaneously having my ass man-handed to me via DM with a list of show folk who support Bernie Sanders for President:
Quite an impressive list of successful performers! Hey, how many Sanders supporters does it take to change a lightbulb? Lightbulbs and electricity are tools of corporations and the establishment. When the revolution happens, people will rise up and create a lightbulb that doesn’t need changing, because it will be powered by the people. Lightbulbs? Oh you silly neoliberal, corporatist whore shill — fucking TORCHES or GTFO. It’s a revolution!
Sorry, back to Mr. Burns’ assault on my Twitter machine:
And there it is, the second person possessive adjective misuse of “your” – calling cared of the wingnut.
Scrambling for more things to insult me with, but not really knowing me, he goes after my job:
Low blow, Burns. Low. Blow.
“Fragile Humpty Dumpty”. Hillary – FRAGILE? You know, for a while, early on in this shit show, I dreamed of a Hillary/Sanders ticket. Now I’m like, what the holy FUCK was I thinking? What would he run as, a Democrat? He just joined the party! I don’t want Hillary smeared with the holy hell the GOP is gonna unleash on him. You see, Saint Sanders hasn’t run the media vetting gauntlet yet. All the withering fire from the GOP has been directed solely at Clinton. Almost no coordinated effort is being pointed towards Sanders, because they don’t think he is going to win. Imagine what’s gonna happen f that changes. IMAGINE IF YOU WILL. Because if you think the GOP will hold back on the attacks like Hillary has, you are in for a very unpleasant surprise if Bernie somehow does get into the general FFS. He’ll be reduced to a dirty commie freeloader who is converting closed Wal Marts to the new gulags with an illegitimate child, who wrote rape fantasies at the age of 31, and who voted against the Amber Alert Bill. Who Rip Van Winkled his way through 20 years, doing odd jobs, collecting unemployment, building the Liberty Union party, which he wearied of and abandoned, espoused the same fluoride in the water conspiracy theory made popular by the John Birch Society, writing articles about female orgasms preventing cancer, child rearing, and revolution, embracing a bizarre theory connected to snake oil salesman Wilhelm Reich, inventor of “a product called the ‘Orgone Box,’ a sort of hyperbaric oxygen chamber for orgasms” by exposing users to “‘orgastic’ energy circulating in the air to cure cancer. Yeah, Fox News, get your tinfoil hats on the ready! They are already salivating over the thought of a self-described socialist and non-religious “Secular Jew” running on the Democratic ticket. Why do you think Trump’s pushing Bernie to keep going? It ain’t out of sportsmanship. You can bet your Humpty dumpy ass every single wealthy GOP donor who’s sitting out the Clinton-Trump brouhaha is going to be throwing money bombs in waves. They’ll make him out to be the bastard child of Stalin and Mao, and with a low-information voter base who thinks “soclaism = BAD” eating it up, those negatives will rise in a hurry. And that’s not counting all the oppo research that is brand-new for him, compared to the old hat crap they’ve been slinging at Clinton since before I could shave my legs.
But I digress. Back to my job:
I have literally no idea what the point of this is, but he took the time out of one of his remaining days alive on earth to dig up some stupid video and send it to me.
Now here’s something. A DM teasing me that I only have a “boyfriend” and not a HUSBAND, and my only-a-boyfriend better propose marriage to me and lickety-split, because time is a ticking’. OLD TIME.
I am an OLD and not good enough to marry.
This is real, guys. This is a real thing. This is an actual statement borne from Sanders rage.
Skipping over a whole mess of nonsense, but let’s just say his Vietnam style freakout culminated in this:
I do not have a thin skin and I’ve blocked people maybe 4 times. And I have never have had to resort to blocking someone I’ve had a pleasant and personal discourse with for a number of years.
People, listen to me: this is the Sanders effect in action. The rage that goes from zero to 100 in 3 seconds flat. The misogynistic rage they use the same way the Republicans used racism for the past 8 years. Except they are not being called out in it. “Bitch”. “Responsible for husband fucking an intern”. “Cunt”. “Humpty Dumpty”. “Fragile”. These are the most misogynistic assholes I have ever encountered in my entire life. Guys like Mr. Burns are already carrying on about how everything in California is ‘unfair” and “stolen” and we haven’t even had the fucking primary yet. And here, Dems will let Independents vote in their elections, but they have to make sure they ask for the correct ballot. Even that simple task appears to be “too confusing”. Or they still have time to register as a Dem. You’d think they were being asked to give up their first born (male) child. But, rules are HARD. Much like math. Which I don’t find hard. Much better to bitch and while and file useless lawsuits, in-between the doxxing, death threats, calling women whores and cunts, and thwarted chair throwing. Supporters are starting to sound like angry fundamentalist Christians.
I’m done. Calling Barbara Boxer a “neolib witch” — when did we all become “neolib”? I think when Barack Obama forgot to put all of Congress in Guantanamo — the activist in Chicago who unleashed a movement to “harass” superdelegates backing Clinton , the online “hit list” complete with delegate phone numbers and home addresses, the silverback gorilla men screaming at children and black women for daring to attend a Hillary rally in East LA, the online trolls who attack journalists, politicians and fellow non Bernie Bros. with misogynistic, vulgar attacks. Let’s remember that Bernie Sanders is from a time when women who went to college were assumed to be working for “MRS degrees” and jokes about businessmen chasing their secretaries around the desk were stand-up standards, when mommas taught their daughters that if they were ill-advised enough to be competing with a man for anything, they absolutely must, if they’re better at it, let the guy win. Which includes the dismal optics of not having a single woman in his top-ten campaign staff. His record on that score is worse than Trump, Cruz, Rubio & Kasich.
Besides, black people don’t like him. That’s good enough for me (ducks and covers).
