Funniest/Most Insightful Comments Of The Week At Techdirt
from the so-you-say dept
This week, our first place winner on the insightful side is David with a comment about the murder of Renee Good by ICE:
Kristi Noem is right about one thing:
It was an act of domestic terrorism.
Indeed. And that is the main purpose of ICE as it is currently being deployed.
In second place, it’s That One Guy with a comment about culpability for Trump’s actions:
An entire congress and military worth of collaborators
As horrible as Trump is never forget…
The republican controlled congress could have stopped him at any time but chose not to.
The US military could have responded to his orders to bomb boats on nothing but a declaration of guilt, finish off the survivors the one time there were any, and invade another country and kidnap it’s leader but chose not to.
Trump is responsible for a whole slew of horrible things but without a lot of people in the government and military backing him up the amount of damage he could do would be drastically lower, meaning they share just as much if not more responsibility for what has, is, and will happen as he does.
For editor’s choice on the insightful side, we start out with a comment from Thad about the fear of impeaching Trump and getting President Vance:
Vance is just as evil as Trump and not as stupid (low bar), but nobody likes him. He doesn’t have Trump’s cult. He wouldn’t be able to wield stochastic terrorism as effectively as Trump does. And in the hypothetical event that Trump’s been successfully removed from office, that means Senate Republicans are finally done being a rubber stamp for him, a guy who was extremely popular with their supporters, so I wouldn’t expect them to be a rubber stamp for Vance, a guy who isn’t.
All that said, I have a hard time believing that’s going to happen. They didn’t support his impeachment after he tried to have them murdered; I don’t think there’s anything that will make them support it. I think the likelier path toward President Vance is that Trump dies in office. I’m not talking about violence; I’m saying look at that motherfucker, he looks like he could keel over any day.
Next, it’s MrWilson with a comment about the ridiculous proposal from Arizona to study “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and the broad definition it uses:
Not only can that broad definition apply to his base, but it also can apply to authentic reactions to Trump’s actually inhumane cruelty and greed, such that it’s a rational response that a moral person would experience, and not derangement at all. Which is why the derangement smear is such bullshit.
Pretending someone is irrational if they don’t like a person who is intentionally hurting others is derangement. And it’s not like Trump’s cruelty is in dispute. His base loves that he is cruel (to other people). “This is what I voted for,” as they remind us when people get kidnapped and sent to torture camps.
But it’s just another cognitive dissonance stance that they wear proudly. He’s both absurdly cruel and you’re crazy for getting upset that he’s absurdly cruel.
Over on the funny side, our first place winner is an anonymous comment about New York’s law requiring websites to post warnings about social media addiction:
Techdirt is way too addictive to my taste.
See you in court Mike.
In second place, it’s Pixelation with a comment about Hilton Hotels:
Hey Hilton, you are providing the wrong kind of ICE. We want only the other kind in your hotels.
For editor’s choice on the funny side, we’ve got a pair of jokes about journalists reporting LLM generations as “admissions” and “apologies”. First up is tanj with one comparison:
I asked my Magic 8 Ball to comment on this and it responded “Outlook not so good”.
Fortunately, I use Thunderbird.
Finally, it’s an anonymous commenter with a not-dissimilar joke:
It’s an apology in the same sense that a speak-and-spell can get married by saying “I do”.
That’s all for this week, folks!
