Toronto Star Reporter Tweets the Idiocy of Inauguration Attendees

[LonePirate]

Daniel Dale, the DC correspondent for the Toronto Star, tweeted pictures of inauguration attendees along with their comments about the new president. These people have invented a version of him which does not exist. They live in an alternate reality we do not want to ever visit. I bet you can guess their common trait, besides being unfathomably stupid. These people scare me.

Tyrus and Ashley Cobb, of Indiana, like that Trump is a man of faith who will bring Godliness back. They wish he'd stop tweeting.

[uppityperson]

1. Good lord. Eom

[SammyWinstonJack]

2. WOW.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Just shoot me now.

That's not just stupid, it's industrial-strength, weapons-grade stupid. God help us.

[Warpy]

4. Don't look now, morons, but there's a brick wall up there ready to fall on you.

These people are all like stalkers, hanging a fantasy life on somebody else's face. When that somebody fails to follow the script, they start to lose it completely.

Uh-huh. Brick wall. Fall down. Bang heads. Big hurt.

[hibbing]

5. I work with people like this

Now I know which ones have their racism on.


Peace

[CentralMass]

6. Doh !

[NanceGreggs]

7. THIS ...

... is what we're up against.

To twist an old phrase: "It's not the Tweet - it's the stupidity."

[DonCoquixote]

9. I hope you are wrong

Because to quote a comedian loved in the red States: "you can't fix stupid"

[NanceGreggs]

12. No, you can't.

And that's the problem.

[DonCoquixote]

38. you cannot fix stupid, but

Well NG, there is actually a remedy that can get through to all of the very most stupid, fear. One of the things that the Democrats need to do is prepare for a real panic that will set in once those idiots in the "swing states" realize that when the GOP talks about cutting benefits, they intend to do it to their pale asses as much is all those brown people that Trump was promising to punish. The turning point for 2018 will be all those people who realize that their Medicare and Social Security is in jeopardy, and that they're going to lose health insurance because Republicans want to kill the ACA without a replacement. We need to focus on 2018 because as high as the GOP is riding at this point, America makes the midterms a referendum on where is in the Oval Office and will often let the party as a means of restraining the guy the Oval Office. We know that two years is more than enough for Donald Trump to dig himself into a hole, and the one thing that will help us fill the dirt is the image of Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump ready with shovels to bury grandma. Fear does cure stupid some of the time; yes Fox News will be there to try to keep a stupid in place, yes MSNBC will pretend not to be a right-wing media organization, some of the box has more time to rob the henhouse, and yes those big old churches will try to reinforce things because despair and fear of what keeps those buildings lit. And you know what, if enough people that voted for Trump all the sudden panic, none of that will do Mr. Trump or the folks in 2018 any good.

No you can't fix stupid, but when you mix it with fear you can make it productive, the GOP certainly has. There was a time I were really shady to say those words, that when I really believed that what was wrong with America to be fixed by what is right for America to quote Bill Clinton. Those days may come again, but not before we win the new civil war, where the destructive, uses ideas of the GOP are finally shamed, blamed and discarded.

8. Each and everyone of them is a poster child for birth control.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Unfortunately, birth control isn't retroactive.

[roamer65]

13. Very true.

[Caliman73]

11. These people live in an alternate universe

Many claim that he is honest. I suppose there is an honesty to his racism and bigotry, but the man lies even when there is no real reason to do so. (I.E. A friend asking you, "Do you like my haircut?" when you don't, but what can you say to not hurt their feelings ). He lies when the truth will actually make him look better.

He isn't wishy washy? He has taken multiple positions on the same issue in the same day, same speech, same sentence.

My favorite: "is always willing to admit he was wrong after he misspeaks" except he never admits he misspeaks. He just attacks the people reporting his own words back to him.

These people are utterly without a clue as to who they elected.

[Rural_Progressive]

27. YES!!! And I really wish we could get the term alt-universe

into common usage.

The alt-universe is a world where facts only exist to support to pre-existing beliefs. Any information that either threatens to change or weaken those beliefs has no reality in the alt-universe. This is regardless of empirical information in the form of the written world, audio recordings or video documentation. NOTHING MATTERS IN THE ALT-UNIVERSE BUT MAINTENANCE OF THOSE BELIEFS. Any thing presented that threatens those beliefs will be attacked and anyone who presents information is considered a threat and if they persist in presenting information that threatens those beliefs they may find themselves attacked ranging from humiliation up to actual physical danger.

This may seem harsh and it may seem judgemental and I invite any of you to disallow me of my beliefs.

That statement alone illustrates the difference between living in a world of painful reality or living in the alt-universe of delusion.

[NBachers]

14. "It's the lobotomy, stupid!"

[Generic Other]

15. This is what happens

when you eat too much lead paint as a child!

[Initech]

16. "Trump Honesty" is an oxymoron.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. As bleak as it is, there's one thing that gives me a tiny bit of cheer:

That's the certainty that before long I will be able to say to some of these dumb bastards, "See, I told you so! I told you Trump would turn out to be the biggest fuckup in American history, and I was right. How do you like not having _______ (fill in the blank: health insurance; Social Security; Medicare; national parks; public schools; a job; retirement savings; clean air; clean water; etc.) any more, you drooling inbred fuckmonkey?"

I will enjoy that.

[dalton99a]

18. They deserve the shit that their savior is going to unleash on them

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. We don't, though.

[dalton99a]

20. No, we don't.

[JI7]

21. what do you expect them to say ? that they agreed with his bigotry ?

[bettyellen]

25. That's the only thing he was honest about - and they hope for a day when they don't have to hide it

Too.

[Lugnut]

22. Gag me. n/t

[ffr]

23. It's the Hoodwinks! All of them. Stupid and naive to their cores. Bad news to come though

If you idiots like honestly, you're going to love the next...whatever time period before he either quits or is impeached. Because we're going to be riding your dumb asses every day for straddling us with this buffoon! We promise not to be merciful for your blessing of a traitor. I won't anyway.

THANKS A LOT!

[Cha]

24. JHFC! They must mainline foxscrews and Russia today!

Poor slobs think they know the exact opposite of reality.

Damn.. thank you for this, LonePirate.. You figure this happening but it's worse than expected.

The ones who wish he would quit tweeting.. suck it up

This is a PSA from Daniel Dale, Toronto Star.. I have to put this in my journal!

[Equinox Moon]

26. Now, this is good reporting!!!!

Each one of these people has posted a PROJECTION, not reality.

These misguided delusional folks have destroyed America.

[Missn-Hitch]

28. Wholly Phuck!!

[progressoid]

29. Yeah.

I'm gonna need more booze.

[C_U_L8R]

30. From GOP to DERP

goes to show morons can be nurtured

[Docreed2003]

31. The populace is politically naive, and that's being extremely polite...

They only see politics through the view they are presented on the nightly news, for the most part. Think back to how essentially positive the MSM was to Trump and the millions of dollars worth of free press they allowed him. It's easy to see how so many were brainwashed. Add into that the racists and bigots and you have yourself an election win.

[Feeling the Bern]

37. don't be polite. Call them fucking idiots like I do.

[Docreed2003]

39. Lmao...true, very true

[Elwood P Dowd]

32. These are probably some of the same "shit for brains" crowd that

continued to praise Bush Jr during the 2008 Great Recession. Some of the same types Jay Leno would video on his Jay Walking clips.

[Feeling the Bern]

33. Hey. Hitler loved his dogs!

[GReedDiamond]

34. Wow! I feel really stupid after looking at those tweets quoting the TrumpHumpers...

...but not as stupid as the TrumpHumpers -- just stupid for wasting my time reading the tweets with their various dumbass, sadly predictable quotes.

[orleans]

35. these are pretty funny... considering...

they'd be more funny if these people didn't actually believe this shit

[Feeling the Bern]

36. All white, all stupid. Some HL Mencken Quotes in response to this bullshit

"On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public."

"In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican."

"Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance."

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."

"Whenever you hear a man speak of his love for his country, it is a sign that he expects to be paid for it."

HL Mencken.

[bravenak]

41. Great quotes, timeless

[Vinca]

40. Mind boggling. Totally mind boggling. It's like a brainwashed cult.

If Trump is honest than I don't have to worry about dieting anymore because I'm Twiggy.
