Michael Z. Williamson Vern Lougee I bet the 1911 won't. Apparently you've never done any blacksmithing.

Michael Z. Williamson And I guess my question is, why are you leaving your gun in a campfire?

Michael Z. Williamson An Abrams will smash any gun flat, or into the surface underneath, or both. Don't be ridiculous.

Vern Lougee My 1911 is solid steel. Tracks of a tank would simply smoosh it into the dirt. Wipe it off and it will fire. If it were torched in a fire, a minimal amount of cleaning and it would fire.

Vern Lougee as long as the spring components were not destroyed it would. The thermoplastics of a glock would be destroyed much faster

Brian Corbino I've watched the frames for a 1911 be born. They only drop 5 ton on a red hot bar to get one. Driving a 20+ ton tank over it is going to snap it like a twig.

Michael Z. Williamson A decently hot campfire will distort a 1911, and will destroy the temper on everything, especially the springs. It will not fire again, ever.

You may have noticed a trend in the media.  Beyond the increasing industry need for clickbait headlines ("Something you may be eating for dinner right now is a deadly toxin. We'll tell you how to buy a book to find out what it is after this commercial break!")

Some of the alleged stories are bloody ridiculous. "David Gellenter, fiercely anti-intellectual computer scientist, is being eyed for Trump's science adviser." 

Um...a computer SCIENTIST...who is a university professor, is somehow "anti-intellectual." 

Or is he just anti-liberal, which is to say, probably a real intellectual? (See what I just did there? We'll come back to that in a bit.) 

Also, that was a tweet, therefore on Twitter, where the Twits hang out to get their news.  We'll also come back to that.

I remember one of these jumping out at me in March of 2009, to the effect of, "Palin's Daughter's ex-Boyfriend's Mother Abuses Prescription Pain Meds."

So, your headline is that someone related to someone who used to be involved with someone who was related to someone who no longer is newsworthy has a medical problem, so this is now newsworthy, or more accurately, you're trying to lay blame on the former VP candidate, right?

This isn't news. This is bullshit.

Now we come to the problem: The entire current generation of "reporters" (because one cannot call them "journalists") grew up with Blogger, LiveJournal, Myspace, and now Twitter and Facebook.

They literally cannot tell the difference between news and op-ed.  The opinion is the headline is the story, and if you disagree, you must be racist, or homophobic, or a Teabagger, or Trump supporter, or Literally Hitler (tm).

Now we come back to what I did up above.  I did in fact put opinion and condescension in my blog post, because this is a blog post, not a journalistic report.

People are worried that the "mainstream" press is being threatened by "fake news."

The reality is there's nothing to worry about.  There's no longer a difference. The millennials have destroyed any credibility the news industry might have had left.  All that matters now is who can shout the loudest.

That's opinion by the way, but I hope you heard me.

On these National Socialist shitbags calling themselves the "Hamilton Electors."  First of all, trying to control the narrative by the language is a textbook radical move, and it's bullshit. You're 
"A Bunch of Pussies Outraged At Your Revered Candidate Losing The Election," and you would be regardless of party.  Moving on.

~~

Here are just a few of the highlights of our achievements over the last month:

In response to our efforts, the Republican National Committee had to perform an unprecedented ‘whip count’ of Electors to make sure they would vote for their party’s nominee.  In response to that, members of the President-Elect’s campaign team illegally threatened Electors with consequences, which may help make the case against Trump during forthcoming impeachment proceedings.

~~

In response to your harassment, they had to ensure the harassees were not intimidated.  As for your impeachment dream, it will be as successful as every other impeachment of the last four decades. You lost. Grow up. I notice you don't mention the death threats and bribe offers your side offered if they didn't "do the right thing," i.e. agree with you after you LOST THE ELECTION.

~~

Most major news media outlets covered our story leading into the Electoral College, including every major cable news network as well as front-page coverage on the New York Times and Washington Post.

~~

They cover people who marry their toasters too, and obviously, their support made zero difference to your efforts. YOU FAILED.

~~

Over 5,000 online news articles were written discussing the Hamilton Electors, and we even held the top headline on Drudge Report for over 24 hours.  Elector Chris Suprun’s opinion-editorial, which we helped place, was the most read and emailed story for over 24 hours on one of the world’s largest newspapers.

~~

And as above, it made zero fucking difference. Why are you boasting about publicity of your failure?  Does a failure become less of a failure with media coverage?

~~

Our message was “trending” on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube during the course of the month in response to our campaign, including #ElectoralCollege and #Dec19.  “Hamilton Electors” as a phrase didn’t exist a month ago, and now it has over 326,000 results on a Google search.

~~

Ah, the internet generation, imagining that tweet numbers are relevant to anyone except twits.

~~

In partnership with our friends at Unite for America, we held candlelight ‘Unity Vigils’ in all 50 states and helped produce a PSA with Hollywood stars like Martin Sheen,  Bob Odenkirk, Moby, Debra Messing, James Cromwell and B.D. Wong.

~~

ZOMG! You hung out with fabulous washouts, and losers I've never heard of, who have no political training, pull or relevance. ZOMG! And you FUCKING LOST. So perhaps not something to boast about?

~~

We helped our allies at the December 19 Coalition stage unprecedented pro-democracy rallies at all 50 statehouses (and D.C.) on the day of the public Electoral College proceedings.  When we started, most people didn’t even know that the Electoral College met in person and where they met, which makes thousands of people all across the country showing up even more impressive.

~~

America, a Republic, has had pro-democracy rallies before, so this is not unprecented. And in your case, it made zero fucking difference and YOU STILL FUCKING LOST. Impressively, it seems.

~~

Most importantly, we let all Americans know that it's normal to stand up to the person occupying White House, and started a conversation about the legitimacy of a Trump Presidency that will continue until he is no longer in the White House; hopefully, the steps we take in the weeks and months ahead will result in his removal from office.

~~

You mean, it's normal to do so, IF HE'S WHITE, right? Because doing so the last 8 years was "Racist," because a black president changes the rules, and somehow that isn't racist.

As far Trump's presidency, he won the election, and he will be president, and that's as legitimate as it gets. That a bunch of racist, losing, failing Democrats (but I repeat myself redundantly) disagree has no effect on the legitimacy.

And you'll remove him from office on 20 Jan, 2020. But if you work REALLY hard, it might be 20 Jan, 2024.

Grow the fuck up, you worthless pussies, and get back to work to pay taxes to support my free medical care you voted for.

Boris Karpa says: Trump's life experience is - so far, this is what Trump knows from his actual personal life - that you can do all of the things that for many years people have told us you cannot do if you want to have a career in business, much less be President.

You can party with cocaine and have threesomes with barely-legal supermodels. You can cheat on your supermodel wife with another supermodel and then marry another supermodel.

You can make a cameo in a porn film. Your wife can be an erotic model [and some say possibly an escort].

Again - none of these things I hold against Trump. I THINK THEY ARE AWESOME. If it is proven tomorrow that Trump's wife was really an Escort *I WILL ONLY RESPECT HER MORE*.

But for many years the media taught us doing these things will destroy anyone's job, much less career. 

Then Trump insulted the media - not just 'said controversial things,'  he deliberately trolled, insulted, and humiliated most of the nation's mainstream reporters.

He also said things that he knew would be seen and portrayed - by a media he deliberately made hostile - as being racist.

And now not only did he not suffer any consequences - he is, in terms of personal success [I'm not passing any judgement on his policies] THE MOST SUCCESSFUL HUMAN BEING ALIVE.

He is a wrestler, TV star, billionaire President with a supermodel wife.

And as he looks out upon his enemies, he sees they're not just defeated, they're having epic breakdowns. Some leftist pundit has actually DIED of heart issues due to his winning. Thousands of his enemies are literally requiring therapy right now due to him merely being elected.

How the hell are you going to take a man who ha ascended to the highest level of personal success experienced by any person alive, while breaking all the rules of politics - and now INTIMIDATE him into being scared of people who are literally CRYING AND NEEDING THERAPY due to the sheer shock of him defeating them?
