Oh dear. Images didn't load for me on that site (NoScript and all that). I have a sneaking suspicion that saved me from having to wash my eyeballs tonight.

Its /pol/ not /b/.
/b/ is the board requiring brain bleach, stuff you want to unsee.
/pol/ is just memes. Triggering memes. Now that CTR is unpaid and off the job /pol/ is getting back to normal, BTW, it was looking pretty dumpy a week or so ago.

allow me...
>Its /pol/ not /b/.
he's talking about 4chan.org. 4chan has different boards you can post to. "/pol/" is one board that is specifically for talking about politics. "/b/" is the board for talking about anything you want.
>/b/ is the board requiring brain bleach, stuff you want to unsee.
/b/ is often nsfw (not safe for work) even when there are no images involved.
>/pol/ is just memes.
from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme [wikipedia.org] ...
A lot of memes get created and spread on /pol/
>/pol/ contains a lot of posts which are Triggering memes.
/pol/ has a lot of memes which cause their opponents to rage and froth at the mouth.
>Now that CTR is unpaid and off the job /pol/ is getting back to normal,
from http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/people/correct-the-record [knowyourmeme.com] ...
"Correct the Record (CTR) is an independent-expenditure only committee, also known as a Super PAC, which maintains a large presence on social media to promote and defend the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton."
so presumably CTR is no longer posting to /pol/ therefore /pol/ posts more resemble what they were before the run up to the election.
>BTW, it was looking pretty dumpy a week or so ago.
not sure about this line tho.
