I do not understand any of this.
It doesn’t but I appreciate the effort

Basically David was threatening Bloomberg supporters, so he got added to a list of “shitty Bernie Bros to avoid” or the like, so he blames Bloomberg personally after saying he was putting Bloomberg supporters on a list (because irony is dead).
Then he decided that a Nigerian man who supports Pete was actually Pete’s senior advisor Lis Smith (because of course he was?). Only… he wasn’t. He was some Nigerian dude who liked Pete.
Or, TL;DR, David is a dumbass.

He’s filling in for Clifford Banes, who was involved in a traffic accident.

Ah right. Jeez, that Banes guy never catches a break.
According to some on this forum, Bernie Sanders’ campaign manager.
In reality, just another shithead on Twitter.

So this.
Social media is awful for trying to build unity/community/nations. B/c it gives rise to dweeps like Klion who would never exist otherwise. You get attention by go so far in a direction and then it feeds on itself. Here in Ohio we have that lady who was famous for carrying an assault rifle at Kent State. Social media allows her to monetize her outrageous shtick.
And of course social media also allows both sides to highlight bad actors from the other side and cast them as stand ins for the entire party. HEre’s what this mayor of NC said. Here’s what a city council women in Seattle said.
But the upside is that everyone can feel good about this stories confirming why the other side sucks.

This is definitely the case. Social media is this horrific mess of trash people.
The thing is, it’s become so powerful that we can’t just ignore it. It has a real, tangible impact on the real world. These dweeps are fucking shit up.
But I think it’s a big part of why some folks who don’t delve into the social media swamp have a hard time grasping the kind of caustic toxicity that comes from some of Bernie’s supporters in that realm. Because it’s not stuff you normally see from actual people… but in social media land, these trash people become giants.
And where does Qt3 fit into this? Are we social media?
But we are enlightened.
Oh wait, the term these days is “woke.”
That is, indeed, a quality response.
Obama DHS acting IG busted for embezzlement and fraud:
I wonder how many appointed folks (versus career) in a given administration are actually not in the same political party? I suspect it’s a non-trivial number. Do we know this guy is a liberal?

He sure seems to be scum. Looks like he resigned in 2013 when he was facing a Senate inquiry for corruption due to a whistleblower report. I hope he goes to jail.

Fuck that guy. His appointment was clearly a mistake.
