The more I think about it, the more I think Trump’s key defining characteristic is his utter lack of any sense of humor. I hadn’t realized it was contagious, though.
The most pathetic thing about this is that no one in the Fox News audience finds it the least bit troubling that fox can’t find any actual Antifi people and sees comments on reddit as good proof of a huge country wide problem. I mean sure it funny that fox got fooled, but it’s really pathetic that they find reddit comments newsworthy in the first place.
Well, I’m crying, but only because I’m laughing so hard. Laughing at the patheticness of this, but still, I can’t get all my laughs from Above the Law… I have to rely on Dr. Taylor for some of them!
Come and see the violence inherent in the system!

@DrDaveT: It’s not so much a case of contagion as it is a case of “birds of a feather”.
@rachel: Snap.
20 years late, but hey, they’re getting there! Kinda, sorta, maybe, a little…. 🙁
It’s FOX. Farcical aquatic ceremonies performed by watery tarts sort of is their stock in trade.
You’re fooling yourself.
@OzarkHillbilly:
I prefer this one:
You can’t deny we are seeing a lot of the violence inherent in the system these days.
Now go away or we shall taunt you some more

Lmao. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry….wow, just…wow
@Jc: That was my reaction, but I went with laughing.

Don’t news organizations employ researchers?
