What does the course of this thread teach us about political discourse?

Actions speak louder than empty campaign promises
 
That’s like Ben Carson, his ONE black cabinet member haha. I guess one of each is enough to satisfy the optics for conservatives and “JFK/Clinton liberals” lol

Fake news demonstrably can be walked back as a “joke” if it’s not from the MSM? NZ proves that every day here.

I’m not so sure this has the aspects of satire or humor at all (except for his byline....which even that I could see posted not in jest by some of the bloggers engaged in supposedly serious political discourse today. In fact, I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have aspects of satire or humor. It’s mostly just a lie designed to dupe the anti-Democrat gullible into reposting.

(Note: Not accusing you of being such. I do think you picked an incredibly poor example to make whatever point you are trying to make)

Holy wow, the joke was the title of the thread.

It's f'n obviously bogus.

So no, everything you typed is wrong.

It's taught me that when you post Micromeat's propaganda straight from Moscow, NZ-style, then you defend it, you're typecast as a fake news consumer and the board is confused when they try to walk that back later.

Cool.

As a former stand-up comedian, I certainly understand what it feels like when a joke you think is great fails miserably.

So I get your apparent anger.

FWIW, I barely even scan the titles of posts.

I guess it would help if you read the joke before commenting and coming to the wrong conclusion.

Maybe if you had commented clearly that the joke was in the title, I might have.

I get it though...it certainly stings when your joke goes over like a lead balloon. It’s the job of the joke teller to amuse the audience though, not the other way around. Your were the craftsman of a poorly crafted attempt at humor. It’s not the end of the world.
 
You and toon didn't get it.

Let that sink in.

Who did in your opinion?

I see not a single poster doing anything, but discussing the accuracy or truth of the post itself.

Again, jokes bomb....it happens...you are getting awfully worked up over nothing....very Toonish now that you mention him.
 
I love it when you get passive aggressive.

Everyone that read the credentials got it.

So Dan, make a joke.
 
You also failed at one other quality of making a "joke" - it's supposed to be funny.

I fail to see the humor from the original author who made up a bunch of phony quotes that were completely false, or anyone repeating or passing on the story.

Perhaps, the Onion would be an example of where satire is successfully used as humor. The guy who originated this BS,.... not so much.
 
It is just like the Onion.

Complete with a Russian name and a resume that includes kicking ass in 80 countries.

You'd have to be a raging hard on to not see the entire thing for the satire it is.

<sheepishly raises hand>count me clueless</sheepishly raises hand>

You were sleep deprived.

I love it when you get incredibly wound up over incredibly stupid shit. It’s fun to wind you up like this and watch you waddle around like the Energizer Bunny.

Identify by name, the individuals that posted in this thread that that got your “joke”...please.

Also, those that actually found it funny would be great too.
 
Like this post if you got the joke.

Easy.

All the emotion you read into my posts is created by you.

Come on pro, be funny.

41minutes in and...crickets.

Just saying.

Like this post if you got the joke AND actually thought it was funny.

Btw, I didn’t say I am a pro. I was a pro...27 years ago. Skills fade and skills have to be developed...so keep working. You may get there some day.

You’re getting better, I will admit. The Brady gif was nicely timed and actually funny.
 
You're really coming off as veiny and throbby.

Do you get that?

I get that you believe that. I get that you claiming that amuses me.

I also get that calling me veiny and throbby is an indication that you are pretty wound up right now despite your protestations to the contrary...over something as meaningless as this.

Which also amuses me.

The one f'n time I need you turds.

Like the Cheeto, I remember those who've wronged me.

Hell, I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday, let alone follow a 76 post multi-topic thread. What was the question again?:D
