And like Frown said, those are not the only instances of Fluff posting Pepe memes. Just the ones he either remembers or is willing to remember/cop to.

Post the rest then.

Having an avatar is not 'posting' a meme either.

It makes me sad that youll engage in this boring argument but you get annoyed and disinterested when i want to argue about the usage of *s in words to justify using them :(

It's posting a meme every time you post.

Not gonna post all these non jokey pepe memes then.

I'm still baffled how we can equate a green frog cartoon to being on the level of a swastika. That's amazing to me.

Also, I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or not that this argument has landed on page 1488.

That's the point. It's supposed to be innocuous so that whenever the alt right settles on some new meme as a dog whistle they can throw up their hands and cry martyr as if liberals are so paranoid that a frog or an OK hand sign look racist.

Agreed. That was a careless comparison for Fluff to make.

Ya, kind of like him comparing a few drinks of alcohol with a few doses of heroin.

The Batlord 09-28-2018 12:18 PM

You know who else didn't drink? Hitler. Coincidence, Fluff?

MicShazam 09-28-2018 12:19 PM

He was more into sniffing gas. Or having other people sniff it. A vicarious gas sniffer.

Frownland 09-28-2018 12:19 PM

I feel like addictive drugs are fair game for comparison.

MicShazam 09-28-2018 12:20 PM

And realistically: Which drug has ****ed up most people's lives? I've got a feeling it isn't heroin.

Trump doesn't drink either.

But Trump is a huge Zeppelin fan

My favorite meme is "the left can't meme" because it's true.

MicShazam 09-28-2018 12:59 PM

There are other memes than Pepe and soyboy memes, you know?

Frownland 09-28-2018 01:12 PM

Like lyin' Ted?

The right can't meme either. The alt-right on the other hand are great at memes because they're great at propaganda. I wonder why.

Chula Vista 09-28-2018 01:19 PM

Jeff Flake has a change of mind, sort of. He will only vote yes to Kavanaugh if the committee agrees to a one week FBI investigation into the allegations - including (hopefully) an interview and grilling of Mark Judge, who the GOP has been hiding away from any scrutiny.

Exo 09-28-2018 01:34 PM

I don't have much optimism. I think Kav is going to get the seat. This country is just too f*cked up to do the right thing right now.

WWWP 09-28-2018 01:53 PM

GOP has agreed to the one week delay. Graham has stated he'll convince Trump to open an FBI investigation. And a couple of GOP swing voters have got Flake's back.

Judge has agreed to be interviewed. Things are moving along FAST!

I hate the senate rule that says if there's a tie the VP gets to break the deadlock.

rostasi 09-28-2018 02:13 PM

Been saying that since we're surely getting another C(c)on on the Court,
getting Kavanaugh in with all of his baggage could be better than getting,
for example, this ultra-C(c)on woman that's in line - Barrett - who may have
less negatives in her past - simply because it would be easier to remove
Kavanaugh once he's in after the Dems take control - but, yes, they'd have to
take a pretty good portion of the Senate for there to be a Kav impeachment,
but all of the papers could come out and subpoenas, etc could begin shining
more light on him - as if we hadn't already seen enough...

windsock 09-28-2018 02:54 PM

Has there been any concrete corroboration with Ford's story yet? Just curious.

Anteater 09-28-2018 02:54 PM

I dunno why Barrett didn't get first billing anyway. She'd be a lot harder to pull the rape card against. Plus you wouldn't get all the hysterical whining about Roe v. Wade.

Woman Who Accused Cristiano Ronaldo Of Rape Tells Her Full Story, Seeks To Void Settlement

Of the 3 people she named as being at the party, no.

1. Her good friend is battling serious health issues and can't get involved so she stated: "I don't remember the party but I believe you 100%".
2. Mark Judge has also said he doesn't remember that particular party. Sick the FBI on that dude.
3. Third witness is also taking the 'I don't want to jump into this maelstrom' ****storm by saying she also doesn't remember.

Love how Kavanaugh and the GOP kept making these 3 statements as totally exonerating him yesterday. BK fell back on this stance at least 3 dozen times during his testimony.

The way you frame your words dude. You come across as a total GOP shill. Pull off the mask and show us who you really are? I vote DTJ.

Chula Vista 09-28-2018 04:13 PM

Just in: Trump orders the FBI probe.

Judge and his lawyers are considering asking for complete immunity from any prosecution if he testifies that he was there and witnessed the assault.

And yes, unlike DTJ, oops, I mean Ant, I believe Doctor Ford 100%.

The Batlord 09-28-2018 04:15 PM

OccultHawk 09-28-2018 04:29 PM

If it’s not this **** it’s the next one. The freedom is already lost short of violent measures. Did he wrestle down and dry hump another rich bitch in high school? Who the **** cares? The issue is whoever gets in is stealing our freedom. And it’s a done deal.

Vote on!

So you don't like Barrett? Dang bro, you make me look like a feminist.

With the FBI investigation coming up, I'm really interested in seeing Ford's yearbooks now. Apparently they were scrubbed from the net right around the time her accusation came out in the open. Hmnnnnnnn.

Isn't it pretty obvious that while Ford's statement itself was genuine, the timing of the release of the statement was politicized?

Anyways, the chick who got gangraped while Kavvy yanked it is more concerning even if there's no question of the timing being political.

Frankly if they succeed in blocking Kavanaugh, I think it'll backfire. I have more faith in conservative voters to mobilize and unite than the liberal voters.

Information suppression is a game both parties play. What I'm interested in is what's so damaging to Ford's story that her social media had to be scrubbed and her yearbooks wiped off the internet?

I mean, you guys are the ones that made a big deal about some dumbass editing Wikipedia articles for adding Kavanaugh's definitions of "boof" or "devil's triangle" to an existing article. What I'm talking about is reality.

There are some problems with Swetnick's story as well, but I'd like to see an investigation there too because I don't think we have all the facts.
