And the headlines are as apocalyptic as possible. Yay. For real, Jalopnik has been compromised for a long time but every day it gets worse. I don’t even go there hardly anymore. After today I probably won’t anymore.

I just got a BBC update that the House intelligence commitee has decided to open up an investigation into Trump’s ties to Russia. The House is run by Republicans btw. The DOJ has also come out and said that Jeff Sessions had contact with Russian officials before the election. Trump’s a shady motherfucker. Either accept it, or deal with it, but don’t be a delicate snowflake about it. Anyone who thought Trump was any less corrupt than Hillary is gullible. Homeboy was a real estate mogul in NYC in the ‘70s, meaning he was in deep with the Italian mob back then. Of course he’s now in deep with the Russians. You got duped, deal with it. You guys sound even worse than the Obama fanbois making excuses for drones dropping bombs on Pakistani kids.

I don’t read Jalopnik much because, despite being a motherfucking COTD winner, I was sent to te greys after making an anal joke. Anyone who stops reading because they’re offended should go slam their dick/tits in a door. Like, for real? Opposing opinions bother you that much? I listen right wing talk radio just for the lulz. Why would the opinion of someone you don’t know even remotely affect your mood? Shit, I couldn’t care less abiut the political opinions of most people I know.

That’s really my number one issue. The comment section on the FP has basically become Mother Jones: say one thing that doesn’t totally support their (liberal) agenda, and you’re a racist Trump supporting piece of shit and people are legitimately angry at you for saying essentially nothing. I manage to get through the day while disagreeing with basically everybody I know, and then I still like them because I’m a sane, reasonable person.

Why would you give a shit about people you don’t know and will never meet thinking things about you anonymously through the internet? That’s a little bizarre. If you’re confident and educated in the beliefs you hold, then it really shouldn’t matter. In my experience, lack of knowledge leads to insecurity which leads to people thinking others with an agenda are out to get them. Which then explains why people elect populist leaders...

It isn’t that I care they think it, it’s that they tend to attack you rather than have a conversation. If I leave a comment, like here, it’s usually to have a conversation. I like to be convinced of things, if I say X and then you say ‘actually it’s Y, because...’ you can convince me I’m wrong, I’m open minded like that. I don’t give a shit if somebody thinks I’m a racist (I’m not) Trump supporter (I voted for Hillary), but I’d prefer instead of just shouting insults that they have a conversation with me.

The time for moving on is when Trump leaves office... OR he actually starts acting ‘Presidential’... which I’m sure he’ll start doing really really soon...

You went off on a tangent there, I have no idea what you’re talking about.

I let it slide the first time because it could have been a typo, but the phrase is “I couldn’t care less”.

My general rule is just not to read things I’m not interested in. I am interested in politics, and am generally more liberal, so I can’t exactly relate to you on this point.

But a similar thing for me would be all the F1 posts. Sometimes for days everything on Jalopnik is about F1. I don’t care about F1, and honestly it does get annoying when they don’t put out anything I care about for a day or days.

But I just realize it isn’t for me and move on.
