Someone said it is Muppy/Margarita, whatever the heck her name is this week. It explains a lot. Ignore is your friend.

Everyone's Favorite Fruitcake

"No, no, not the dreaded FRUITCAKE..." Fear not: this moist, dark cake is loaded with yummy-tasting dried fruits, not the icky, bitter candied peel and citron you remember from visiting your grandma at Christmas. The dried fruits suggested below are simply that — suggestions. Feel free to substitute your own favorites; you'll need about 2 1/2 pounds dried fruit total.

What's the joke? Washington Foreskins, because they’re a bunch of *****.

Well that's a roundabout way of getting to the point.

I sure hope the lot of them “woke” themselves right off a cliff.

You are stealing someone else's work, which is certainly against the TOS here.

I don't recall where it used to be, but now go to their profile and click on the icon to the right of their name, which then brings up any changes that have been made. Hover over it and there is text that pops up that says "Display Name History". If there is no icon that means they have not had a name change on that account.

Yeah she is/was/may be tomorrow/may change names again, and 3 or so years isn't really "long timer" territory imo.

...DAMN RIGHT....it is an explosive, unsubstantiated cesspool of garbage....YEARS ago, when the news industry HAD honor with the likes of Huntley, Brinkley, Murrow, Cronkite et al, fact checking homework was done prior to publication....today?...ANYBODY can post anything with NO substantiation on social media and the scurrilous MSM uses it as fact, UNCHECKED.....look at some of the "factual (COUGH) garbage" used here in alleged dissertations, discussions, etc as "gospel"......then you wonder why PPP is becoming the "new swamp".......sad trajectory...........

 

Actually it goes deeper than that.  FakeBook promotes the divisive stuff to keep their users "engaged", i.e.,  forwarding and sharing it which results in more ad revenue for themselves.  You see they don't mind helping in a big way dividing the country in their quest for the almighty dollar.

 

Quote

Some of the ways Facebook plays are deeply troubling. For example, due to its reliance on advertising for its business model, the company has perfected user experience design intended to increase “engagement” — that is, keep people scrolling because Facebook’s “inventory” consists of users’ time and attention. People are more likely to “engage” — like, comment on and share — information that creates a visceral emotional response. So highly partisan content, hate speech and conspiracy theories get upranked by Facebook’s algorithms, spreading far more quickly than dry but authoritative information. Ultimately, the ability to microtarget content — including ads — to more precise slices of the user base means the most inflammatory ideas — some designed to foment divisions in society — are virtually invisible to those who might counter them with the usual antidote to false or inflammatory speech: more speech.

DEMOCRATS REVEL IN CRUELTY AND PERSONAL DESTRUCTION: 

 

Crushing an Inwood eatery just because you don’t like how its owner voted.

 

 

 

 

They are the people tibs, muppy, billstime,  sectionc3 support. They need to own it.

The slippery slope we have been told didn't exist with the attitudes and actions of the left has suddenly come into view.... and its  a lot steeper and slicker than anyone could have imagined. 

 

They're coming for you and me too unless we all start standing up against this nonsense immediately.  Silence is complicity.

They’re already here and it may very well be too late.

Ah, the Chick-Fil-A Marketing Plan. Piss off the Left enough for them to declare a boycott and then see everyone not on the Left rush to buy their product.
