Trump Derangement Syndrome - Orange man bad. Read the OP! (ᴛʜɪs ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴅ ɪs ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴋɪᴡɪ ғᴀʀᴍs ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡs ɴᴏᴡ) 🗿🗿🗿🗿

I dunno. I suppose it's just a day I'm having, but the divisiveness and discord and will to dehumanize based on ideology is like nothing I've seen in my life. I started noticing it seriously in 2016, but if I think back, the narrative was being fleshed out at least as early as the mid-eighties. The fact that this roaring machine hasn't even slowed down to take a breath during such a massively disruptive global pandemic doesn't bode well for the future, IMO.
Eh, I think it's social media acting as a drug to enable the most basic human impulses.

If you think of people less as individuals and a group of them more as a singular server farm running multiple processors (the brains) to preserve the server farm, it starts to fit together. As social animals, humans get a pleasurable rush from agreeing with the group and a painful reaction to disagreeing with it - which makes sense, getting exiled back in the cave times would be almost certain death for a person.

Turn group approval into an instant gratification activity and of course the natural human tendency to blend in is going to kick into overdrive. Just as over eating on sweets (which you're wired to because sugar is rare in nature) gives you diabetes, over indulging on social media gives you NPC-dom.

Now give me all your likes and agrees. I can quit any time I want.
 
Spicy take from the god-emperor of TDS:

He forgot, "the only reason anyone knows who I am". Also, nice punctuation, Jeff.
 
So, with the latest actions of the dems in office, I... am upgrading Trumps possible results. IF he capitalizes on this well enough, its going to be a blowout come november. No one could have predicted the dems pulling this shit, and even their own BASE hates them over it. At the very least its going to suppress their votes hard, at worst it CONVERTS some of their base.

As long as the J-Right establishment doesn't force Trump to cuck. They've already apparently received marching orders to oppose any kind of populist change and are now advocating for people to sacrifice themselves to the disease to restart the debt economy.
 
Kinda, the article says they where in their 60s and (well the article they linked in the article said that they) used fishtank cleaner.



Chloroquine phosphate is a legitimate medicine used to treat malaria, a possible treatment for coronavirus, they just decided to drink something that said "NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION" on the label instead of buying malaria pills.

EDIT:
Looking deeper I may have been confused by the wording the articles keep using. It is possible they had used legitimate pills and faced side effects. It is kinda hard to tell, some articles lean on "He drank fishtank bleach" while others suggest he took a pill.
Maybe I watch way too much Forensic Files, but my Spidey sense is going off. Presumably the husband was bigger than his wife, so how is it he succumbed to poisoning but she didn't? The bigger the person, the more it should take to kill. But she was okay enough to make the call to 911, she lived to tell about it and yet he died shortly after getting to the hospital?

Man, that sounds eerily similar to Stella Nickell, who killed her husband with laced Tylenol capsules for the life insurance. Before anyone says, 'Well she got sick too!' I direct your attention to the case of Joann Curley, who also poisoned her husband with thallium for the same reason. She gave herself and her daughter a small, non lethal amount of the poison to throw off suspicion off herself.

Last year when that crazy woman (the one who was trying to sell her book and whose account was literally ripped straight from and epsiode of L&O: SVU) accused Trump of sexually assaulting her and said he grabbed her by the pussy, I expressed how skeptical I was because the story seems almost perfectly crafted to appeal to confirmation bias. A true story will look a certain way because it is indeed a person's MO, but a fake story will likely also look that way because it will be made to fit a person's MO. Everyone knows Trump said 'you can grab them by the pussy,' so a fake story will appeal to that.

So, a Trump supporter dying because they followed his inexact words exactly without a second thought, as if he was in a cult... how much more scripted for media attention can you get?

Yeah, something seems... off.
 
It’s been trending all day.

People are pissed.
Honestly, had anyone asked me a week ago what the democrats would do, I would have answered "Buckle down, get a bill out, and try to claim credit for the best parts". it is what ALL historical precedent sets, it is by all logic the only winning play.

But this? This is... this is madness. Its insanity. There is no historical precedent, there is no way this works to anything but their detriment.
 
Trends work like this: a bunch of new people tweet about something, usually a hashtag that has no other hashtags in the tweet, and even if it's only a couple thousand at a time, it jumps up as 'trending' because suddely a bunch of people are talking about it. As long as new people keep tweeting about it in sufficient number, it stays trending. If the same people keep tweeting about it instead, or a group of people who 'usually' retweet each other are the only ones tweeting about it, it stops trending. Thus, raw numbers can defy what you'd expect for trending, People who understand how trending works will often manipulate that to force things to trend temporarily. Also, it measures % of active users, too. That's why "Ron Toye" made it to #5 trending in the US, and "Funimation Leaks" stayed at #1 in US for hours and even made it to top ten in Worldwide, despite most people neither knowing what those were nor caring. It was the middle of the night for the USA when that happened. As soon as people started waking up and tweeting furiously, political trends bumped it all out.

Also, this is why things tend to trend for a while organically, and then Twitter appears to 'suppress' it, and replace it with a more politically correct and manufactured trend. New people are tweeting about 'trumpliedpeopledied' while the same people (and their associates) are still tweeting 'democratshateamerica', and those new people know how to force a trend. Thus, even though less people are saying the former than the latter, it's no longer 'trending', because it's no longer 'people are suddenly talking about this'. That's also why TDS hashtags constantly change but are similar: if they kept the same hashtag, it'd stop trending.

Any trend that doesn't include a number, though, is clearly just Twitter forcing something to trend.
 
Probably still this prick.

Bless the heroic Kiwi who eventually gives us the sorely needed thread on this douchebag. He makes old testament God look like a sweetheart.

The Democrats voting against this stimulus bill seems especially stupid when it sounds like a lot of the Late Night shows have suspended productions during all the virus hysteria, so they've got fewer media personalities out and about to help push the party line and no Jimmy Kimmel to have go out and cry about whatever.

Man, must suck to have their daily propaganda broadcasts off the air at a time like this. A good orange man bad joke would really help forget Pickle Pelosi (she drank so much vodka she turned herself into a pickle. Funniest shit I ever saw) just fucked them out of a grand.
 

The quotes from the opposing Labour party read like a textbook for how the Democrats could have passed something useful, but not given up the moral ground. I bet McConnell would have caved on 1 symbolic amendment to let them save face, just to get it done.
