      Still not gettin' there, joe.

      There's gotta be something in the wingnutsphere funnier than the BB. Even for conservatives, it's lame.

      Chesterton might have been a nitwit, but at least he could get off a good line now and again.

          I could be wrong, but isn't the BB supposed to be making fun of conservative rags like Breitbart and The Daily Wire who try and fail at "gotcha" journalism on a daily basis?

            OK, I guess the joke is it's not funny, like the Onion comics.



            I'll admit I fell for it completely so it's pitch perfect. I'll take my lumps.

              It's a mixture of unfunny, faux-Shapiroisms and the kind of obvious satire the average chapter of the College Democrats, or the average student satire publication at Western Bumblefart State U would find clever and hilarious.

                It is supposed to be The Onion for conservatives. At the very least, conservatives are the only ones I know who share it.

                If they’re trying to be a Colbert Report, then they’re definitely not pulling the same demographic.

                  I'm not gonna lie, the first of those two links is OK. The second one is their usual laziness -- a high schooler's idea of funny, i.e., a conservative's idea of funny (when they're not knee-slapping over adolescent sexual callowness or outright cruelty).

                  Smarties vs Dummies is the overdetermining reality of human social life, and there has always been a tendency towards left-smart, right-dumb, if only because Dummies are cowards and conservatives are always afraid, but I don't believe the bifurcation has ever been this dramatic. It's as if those two time-honored normal distributions, which for so long had a substantial overlap, have been moving in opposite directions for long enough that now they barely touch. Hopefully it's just a (albeit lengthy) phase accentuated by the Glorification of Stupidity under Saint Ronnie. A sincere, honest, intellectual conservative could do a lot of good in this country right now. But the first thing she'd have to do is Drogon the entire Kings Landing of public rightwing morons.

                    Gillibrand doubled down on The Daily Show about being able to work with Republicans. That seems to be a theme with the race right now.

                    I don't get it. If that's what this race is about then what's the point?

                      It's her lane. She needs a discriminator so she's carving out "if you're too a-scurred to challenge the fascists come hide under my skirt." Shrug. It's what she's got. I'm sure there were Jews who tried to make peace with the Nazis.

                        Biden is doing it. The Mayor is doing it. A lot of people in this race are doing it. I don't get it.

                          Biden isn't saying he'll work with the GOP, he's saying he'll appeal to Rust Belt GOP votes.

                          Buttigieg isn't saying he'll work with the GOP (they want to murder him and his husband, for Pete's sake), he's saying he's from Indiana so just because some ideas are stupid doesn't mean he can't hold them. Beto will do the same thing re: Texas if he hasn't already.

                          Centrists gonna Center -- that's fine. Let's not be shocked and appalled, let's just work to make sure somebody from the Democratic wing of the Democratic party gets the nomination.

                            Biden said Republicans would start working with Democrats again after Trump is gone. Turtle Boy already proved that isn't true.

                                Former Vice President Joe Biden said Tuesday he expects Republicans will have an "epiphany" when President Donald Trump leaves office, and will embrace working with Democratic colleagues.

                                "I just think there is a way, and the thing that will fundamentally change things is with Donald Trump out of the White House. Not a joke. You will see an epiphany occur among many of my Republican friends," Biden said during a campaign stop in New Hampshire. "It's already beginning in the House now ... If we can't change, we're in trouble. This nation cannot function without generating consensus. It can't do it."
                                That is pure ****ing stupidity there.
