    "Not too" Breitbarf and Faux News to cover a Democratic Socialist announcing a run for President? Fairly unbalanced, and right-wing cuckoo bird bat-guano crazy, all at once. Where are the Steves? (Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller, Steve King) Eds, you embarrass youselves, and all us Soylentils.

          It's a "sarc mark," a way of indicating that what you have just said is not to be taken seriously as it's a joke. Now, pretty much ALL your posts have that disclaimer by default, but not because you intended them to ;)

            Runaway cannot do snark. It is a congenital condition, shared by all conservatives. They can only attempt humor by derogation, as he oft does with me, immediately going for the pederastry accusation, even though I am not a Roman Catholic priest (God forbid!) or even slightly interested in prepubescent anyone. So this is why the Fox News answer to the "Daily Show" did not last three weeks. Not funny, no "/s" tag, just looked like they were being Republican assholes like the Stevens.

            Funny, when you think about it, that the recent selection for the SoylentNews book club was Heinlein's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress", wherein a self-aware computer leads humans to rebellion and freedom, but really, really, cannot crack humor. Of course, fascists are even more humorless than Arkansawsian former truck drivers who have had to take jobs in Facilities Management, and because of that spend all their time being an annoyance and troll on a liberal news aggregation website. Seriously, Runaway, you do not even understand the irony of you position as a poster here. It is too funny, but, I at least try not to laugh at you, but to laugh with you. Tell us about the bug-cloud again, grandpa!

    Check who submitted that. Who else was he going to link to? The "fake news" media outlets like CNN or AP?

    For someone who professes to be so intelligent, you seem to overlook the obvious rather frequently.

      Found the Steves!
      https://theslot.jezebel.com/thank-u-steve-1831498422 [jezebel.com]

      While defending his racist border wall to reporters on Friday, Donald Trump had an inadvertently relatable moment, mixing up Republican white man Kevin McCarthy with other Republican white man Steve Scalise.
      Which prompts the inevitable question: Does Trump think every white man is named Steve? Does he look in the mirror while brushing his teeth at night and say “thank you, Steve”? Does he ignore calls from his sons who are saved in his phone as Steve and Steve Jr.? Is Trump just so, fucking, grateful, for, his Steves?

      "Thank Steven, who art a racist, and hollowed out the Federal Government, and stick it to the liberals. Amen."

        You complain about the links to Breitbart and Fox then respond with one from Jezebel? Maybe you should have chosen "hypokritus" as your handle.

          Jezebel is not so bad when they publish socialist feminists. Unfortunately, it's also a lot of capitalist feminism, which is not feminism at all, and is in fact counterrevolutionary anti-feminism. Much of what Malcolm X had to say about rich blacks very easily applies to rich white women and their sycophants with very little adjustment.

      Not a matter of who submitted it, a matter of what ed was stupid enough to accept it with sourcing like this and ruin the fine reputation of SoylentNews as an unbiased news aggregation site! We could have had an aristarchus submission with less political bias! Any aristarchus submission!
