I am all alone (poor me) in the White House waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal on desperately needed Border Security. At some point the Democrats not wanting to make a deal will cost our Country more money than the Border Wall we are all talking about. Crazy!

I am a bot. (Info / Contact)

r/politics posters truly are the lowest form of human.

I choose to believe at least half of them are shillbots

Someone once inserted "fuck Trump" into an otherwise unrelated comment going against the resident circlejerk and it was upvoted to the top, so the votes at least are definitely botted.

The astroturfing used to be more blatant (in particular when Hillary passed out at that 9/11 memorial and the subreddit completely flipped opinion on her for a few hours while the shills waited for marching orders), I think years of TDS sperging has driven most reasonable posters away.

I can’t even find one article about Virginia fucking up it’s all Trump all the time.

Try posting one and you’ll see why.

I tried posting a VA article earlier today to see how it would fare. Went as I expected

what happened in virginia?

(D) Governor - Suspected to be in a photo either in blackface or a KKK hood for a costume contest. Denies the allegations but admits to wearing blackface on a separate occasion for a Michael Jackson dance competition.

(D) Lt. Governor - In the midst of quietly waiting for pressure from DNC to get the Governor to resign has been accused of sexual assault at the democratic national convention. He was most likely positioning for an opportunity to be Virginia's first black governor. For added spiciness he has requested the law firm that defended Kavanaugh and his accuser has hired the law firm that defended Ford.

(D) Attorney General - Has just admited that he too covered his face in shoe polish for comedic purposes.

Since Democrats have employed this 0 tolerance policy on anyone who steps out of line that means they are going to sweep this under the rug or force all three of them out leaving the 4th in the line of succession to a Republican speaker of the house(?)

The takeaway here is the Pence defense is impenetrable.

Pence has the approval of God Himself, it seems.

Soo blackface black face blackface...?

Close but according to the allegations:

Blackface, Black dick getting closer and closer to the face, and blackface.

Not quite as pithy though

Most Democrats are calling on them to resign. Fucking retarded rightoid serious posters

  1. Where did I become right wing?
  2. I said the options are do nothing or force all three out giving the state to a republican which is the comedy of the situation.

Didn't deny seriousposting 😂

Aren't you also seriousposting? You seem to be verging on tears of rage at the fact that right-wingers are discussing this stuff.

type novel in drama

"You seriousposting retard"

N-no u

Nice job styling off your autistic meltdown there buddy

Make sure to let the guy know how much you're whiteknighting him

Absolutely seething lmfao

I didn’t want to steal anyone’s thunder by providing hot takes such as

It’s over for Demcels. Dussy LMAO. Doids get out.

Live by the sword; die by the sword.

For added spiciness he has requested the law firm that defended Kavanaugh and his accuser has hired the law firm that defended Ford.

The fuck lollllll

Dude there was one on their front page all day a couple days ago. They take pride in how the other Dems are trying to get him to resign and that Republicans don't do that.

Yeah that was before this saga spilled over into Blackface 2: Electorate Boogaloo.

The second-top post says that the 76% figure is incorrect, and that the figure refers only to Republicans. It encourages readers to "read deeper into the story" to verify this.

I did exactly that, and found that the 76% figure is stated as "Americans who watched the speech" literally 25 words in, and the 97% figure for Republicans is stated in the third sentence.

Sure had to read deep into that article to show that one of the top-voted comments in the thread is complete bullshit. 3 sentences, fuck. I need a rest after that.

They certainly don’t math very well

ShareBlue isn't human.

are you being serious? because a bunch of the posters on this sub unironically think /r/politics is anything other than a naturally occuring circlejerk.

1 million dollars 3 years ago aimed at combating trolls on all media everywhere means that this single forum that has always been this way is now this way because of the league of shadows and its botnet, because theres no way this 1 million dollars was spent on ads or news articles like a sane person would expect

how many levels of fenatyl are you on?

S E E T H I N G

effortposts about how evil /r/politics is getting called out as BS

sounds like COPEatyl do me.

tbh /r/politics isn't evil. just plain stupid.

"To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil" -Charles Krauthammer

I think allendrio is projecting.

Yeah that was just one example of open shilling. The same people came out of that to create Share Blue.

Meanwhile DNC was caught using companies to create fake social media to get Democrats to win in Alabama.

an example of a superpac getting funding is an example of open shilling

lol no it isnt, by that logic reddit should be full of trump shills because his election pacs restarted the day he got into office.

Share Blue is the same operation as CTR...

so? you didnt address the point that they are in no way different from DDF superpacs and by your own logic since they havent even closed down with the election like hillareee's did then /r/politics should be full on boomerology by now.

Did you miss Democrats getting caught doing botting in Alabama race over social media? It has not stopped just because Hillary lost.

social media

we were talking about reddit, and did you miss that the most obvious botting went on in TD with at points having 5k+ upvotes with a barehandful of comments, its the most obvious shit. All i see is conservacope about a website that started as a tech site somehow still being a full on democrat circlejerk.

Dude, Reddit is social media. All I see is a foreigner giving way too much of a shit about politics that isn't even in his country yet saying other people are the ones coping.

NZ politics is fucking boring sue me, just because someone uses bots on one thing doesnt mean they use it on another, israel probably uses bots on politics shit in twitter, do you think they also use it to influence the rule34 furry users on twitter? they are both twitter.

What makes more sense, using money to buy ads and publish stories to help fight facebook bullshit or using it to run politically unsavory bots on whats already overwhelmingly in your favour?

lol @ everything about you and your life dude

Wew lordy, you are special

most sane people when show a baseless burger conspiracy dont go "yeah thats 100% true, it cant be the simple non retarded reason."

Man they really got a lot of mileage out of that $1 million three years ago, mustve invested it in Bitcoin

You haven't met any Albanians.

What about the chapos?

Chapos normally lack self awareness that would make you conclude they're not sentient, but they are aware that they're a bunch of depressed fucking losers. r/politics can't even manage that. It's quite sad actually.

Yeah at least chapos all want to kill themselves

I don't like the results of a poll

Where's my lab researcher white coat, I'm going to deconstruct the shit out if it.

I like the results of a poll

Hmmm, interesting...

Favorite bit: "Only 1400 people were polled."

Yea... that's how polls work... they don't ask every single viewer independently.

The Reddit hivemind suddenly stops believing in the Law of Large Numbers the minute a statistical finding contradicts their beliefs.

"They can't know that marijuana doesn't cure cancer! Did they smoke-out every single person who has ever had cancer? No! Invalid!"

i mean you have to assume the only people watching the sotu are losers who love trump or losers who are enraged by everything he says yet follow him more closely than the donald, right?

Anybody who watches tv is a loser period.

im surprised by how little tv ive watched (besides live sporting events) in the last 5 years. Everything has just been kind of shit. I do love watching oldish movies (think 80s-00s) though.

Wow, you're like, totally unique and different! DAE not like reality TV?

Not what I was saying. I haven’t watched scripted tv either. I do t think I’m alone.

Yeah I pretty much stopped watching TV about 12 years ago or so. Occasionally I will get a recommendation for a show and download it. I think the last one I did that for was "Fringe", which I admit I found pretty enjoyable.

My wife also doesn't watch much TV, but she makes up for it by watching countless youtube makeup, skincare and baby blogs. Typical foid behavior I bet.

Stop being a smug faggot

Make me queer

I watched it to collect memes and see who to short on the stock market the next day.

Not riding the bull.

That's what I would have assumed, but 30% of democracts who watched it liked it apparently?

When you’re right you’re right https://i.imgur.com/Rp64qbB.jpg

Me and my friend watched it to get drunk so we took a shot every time trump mentioned border security or mike pence looking like a proud dad. I passed out immediately after taking a shot towards the end

If I want to know what Trump said I just go to r/drama sort by new and read the ten latest posts

The last time I paid attention to a SOTU speech was when George W. Bush brought up steroids in Major League baseball. That made me realize every SOTU speech was just a gay agenda post.

I wish the SOTU was about the gay agenda. Then it would be entertaining.

They use terms like ‘poppers’ and ‘brapholes’ and ‘twinks’. They loiter outside arcades and shopping malls, eager to introduce your sons to filth like Andrew Lloyd Weber

It's hilarious that the top-voted comment in the thread is a factually incorrect claim that the 76% figure refers to republicans only. Republicans actually had a 97% approval rate - this is outright stated in the third sentence. Didn't stop him ending up at the top of the thread though. Reddit is such a fucking shitshow.

Oh. So does that mean all 17 investigations are over now?

putins_cope_hole

The speech is pablum. Of course people like it

At the Kremlin, maybe.

Stop posting this Reich-wing Washington ExSpaminer bullshit. Stop supporting traitors to our United States.

GLORIOUS. Simply GLORIOUS.

They sound like Tea Party fags in 2012 lol

Correction, 76 percent of REPUBLICANS that watched the speech approved of it. If you read deeper in the story, that is what is says.

Lol of course they suddenly start scrutinising headlines when they don't like them. And apparently he's not even right lol.

/r/politics confirmed illiterate.

The fuck is a state of the union speech

A yearly speech where the president lays out his agenda for the year in front of Congress. The audience claps every 5 seconds and it's generally super boring since a lot of the content is just political fluff.

But with it having daddy and mommy in the same room, it’s now super big entertainment.

Wew lad.

Not even that, it's 76% of only ~1400 people that were polled.

"this poll doesn't reach my conclusion? well, fuck polls anyways."

peak levels of cope

Their approval polls or polls showing AOC is the best pol in the country with samples of 86 are representative but this one isn’t, obviously.

"Damn these statistics are getting in the way of my agenda! Statistics just doesn't exist anymore!"

Massive amounts of C O P E going on in that thread

Seems like a gaslighting headline to me. From what I read, Democrats did not watch the speech at all.

It was an awesome pep rally and anyone who says otherwise hates the USA.

Imagine reaching such levels of cope in response to Trump. At least when rightoids were screaming their heads off about Obama they were getting angry at a competent politician who was achieving political goals they opposed. The only thing Trump can do is make lefties shit their pants.

They Are REALLY angry at this poll

cant wait to see the koolaid in 2020
