ROFLMAO! I really love to fuck with MAGAts!!!!!!

[Scottie Mom]

I had a known MAGAt, a neighbor, go off on me yesterday about the white powder and death threat to DA Bragg -- how deserved it was. The MAGAt has soured on tRump and has mega warmed up to DeSatan. About a week before the death threat news about DA Bragg, he asked me what I thought of DeSatan. I just laughed and changed the subject. We periodically run into each other since we live across the street from each other and during the 2020 election he took offense at my window sign -- "Trump for Prison" -- and tries to light me up over politics nearly every damn time he sees me.

Well, yesterday he proceeded to tell me that Bragg was a total nothing. I told the MAGAt that Bragg was a Harvard law grad...and that was something. The idiot MAGAt took the bait -- He spewed negatives about Harvard law grads and what POS they are, worth nothing, self interested only...etc.

When he stopped, I smiled, and sweetly said, "Well, DeSantis is a Harvard law grad..." Mr. MAGAt just stood there, said nothing, skewed his facial features a bit (might have been trying to think) then and walked away!!!!!!! I just waved...with a smile on my face!



Edit for leaving too much space at the end of my post.

[brewens]

1. How about DoucheSantis? Has a certain ring to it. :) n/t

[Scottie Mom]

2. That works!

The Fascist State of Florida.

[NewDayOranges]

22. I LIKE IT!!!

DoucheSantis...

[brewens]

52. I need to get it to Trump, but he might not get it.

[BlueWavePsych]

79. DoucheSantis ... now available on T-Shirts

[Meadowoak]

3. I do the same thing whenever I have a MAGAt trying to own the libs,

I always give it right back to them, with facts, they always run away in frustration.

[Scottie Mom]

5. I mean this RWNJ supports DeSatan...or is leaning that way.

And..he has less than -0- clue that DeSatan went to Harvard law?

WTF!?!?!?!?!

Yeah, facts don't count to RWNJs!

[Meadowoak]

9. In MAGA world, knowing facts is frowned upon

[LymphocyteLover]

27. It's true... but my frustration is you can hit them with as many facts as you want

but they just keep coming back with irrelevant nonsense or say it is fake news

[LoveTheDU]

4. LOL

I love this story - more please!

[Scottie Mom]

6. MAGAts truly are a target.

Seems like they take a look at me...mid 70s, walking with a cane, and figure they can just hurl RWNJ talk at me.

[spooky3]

61. And they are less well-informed than you!

Trip them up with your knowledge or your cane. It’s all good!

[calimary]

90. Welcome to DU, LoveTheDU!

And we do, too!

[Prairie_Seagull]

7. Game, set and...

When you mentioned Harvard I knew where it was going and I still laughed. Hope the good feeling lasts a while.

[hippywife]

8. Don't forget...

Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton. Hawley went to Yale and Stanford.

[Scottie Mom]

10. The best trial attorney and all around attorney I know went to a 2nd rate correspondence law school.

He's brilliant and amazing. Has been a friend for over 30 years. Watching him set adverse witnesses up in a courtroom? To me it's like being high on all the right things.

IMO, law school just gets you your ticket -- assuming you pass the bar -- it does not educate you to think like a scholar or perform like a legal adversary using verbal and documentary stilettos. That type of conduct is based on pure native talent, an ability and a gift given only to a few. Your list of names above are true examples of the nothingness that law schools can and do produce. I can think of a few more...the name Gym Jordan immediately comes to mind!

[LymphocyteLover]

26. Very cool!

[leftieNanner]

28. Gym Jordan went to law school

But I don't think he ever passed the bar.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

[MyOwnPeace]

30. I found the same to be true.........

with college-trained musicians - it mattered how much talent the musician had, not the school they attended.
We ALL know marvelous musicians who never finished high school or didn't even attend college, let alone a School of Music.

[Lucky Luciano]

38. Ted Cruz's professors considered him to be a genius for the law.

The problem is that he’s an asshole.

[ProfessorGAC]

51. Then, I Question The Judgment Of Those Professors

There is zero evidence Cruz has genius properties in any area of knowledge. He certainly has never displayed any, and his public opinions on various legal issues don't strike me as particularly deep or insightful.
I simply wouldn't trust those professors' opinions on talent anymore.

[Lucky Luciano]

66. Ted Cruz probably is a genius of the law and his Ivy League professors are probably...

…among the best legal minds.

However, Cruz has to play to his voters which requires that he dumb down to their level…and he’s also a major asshole.

[ProfessorGAC]

68. We Will Have To Disagree

I see zero evidence of genius ability in any area of study.
Also, the same is said of the school of economics at the University of Chicago. They have Nobel winners whose theories have shown to be completely wrong in practice.
Too often, the reputation of "greatest *insert discipline here* minds" is university marketing.

[Lucky Luciano]

69. I am not going based on his public statements.

It is quite likely that he must have dominated others at law school. He clerked for the Chief Justice of the SCOTUS. Only the best recent grads get to do that . He was a champion debater and argued a lot of cases before the Supreme Court. You just don’t get to that level by being run of the mill or subpar.

Unfortunately, his opinions are terrible so he advocates for the worst things possible. It would be better if he truly were a moron.

His emotional intelligence is very low though. Yes that is clear.

[The Wizard]

75. Unethical does not

constitute genius. Cruz is a slimy troll.

[LymphocyteLover]

24. Indeed-- it's really made me rethink the quality of those schools

that they can graduate such clearly awful human beings

[BlackSkimmer]

42. People are pretty well fully cooked by the time they enter law school.

I didn’t change my political views as an undergrad or as a grad student. Can’t imagine I would have if I went to law school as well.

Universities generally don’t allow people to graduate depending on their political beliefs. And that’s a damn good thing.

What? You think universities should prescreen for politics? You’re thinking of a different kind of university - and there are certainly some of those.

[LymphocyteLover]

56. Yes, all true. I just meant how dishonest and cruel those politicians are. But I suppose

law school may be one place where such traits can serve you well.

[spooky3]

62. The most selective universities often require an essay and/or an interview

Of students who make it over the numerical hurdles.

If they aren’t checking for ethical character at this stage, why not just admit on the basis of GPA, quality of UG program, and LSAT?

[bringthePaine]

11. superbly played!🤣👍

[asiliveandbreathe]

12. They sure do know how to pull shit out of their arse..good on you!! We need to

call them out..when ever, and wherever we see them, or hear them..nice job!!

I had a neighbor, in conversation few years back..Hillarys run I mentioned how much I liked Hillary..she proceeded to say, "so, you are a Hillary gal?"..we were friendly enough, and I said "does this mean we can't be friends?" (Doc Holliday)..we remained friends..I would go over and help her with chores..for the simple cost of her Zucchini-Banana bread recipe..she has passed..I think of her often..

[IronLionZion]

13. It is amazing how that school has produced people on the right and left

Barack Obama is from Harvard Law, but somehow that idiot Kayleigh McEnany is too.

[Scottie Mom]

16. Law School at times only opens the door.

IMO, you are either born to be an true and righteous advocate (Obama) or you are born to be dud (McEnany).

The J.D. may open a closed door, but it is up to you to turn on the lights and shine!

[MyOwnPeace]

33. What a GREAT line!!!!!

Please allow me to offer a small change:

The (degree/diploma/certificate/title/office) may open a closed door, but it is up to you to turn on the lights and shine!

[calimary]

91. Yep. That IS a great line!

[IronLionZion]

37. Agreed, same with many types of schools

my brother went to London School of Economics. Half of his classmates are trying to save the world while the other half is bent on destroying it.

[Scottie Mom]

46. That brought a chuckle from me!

So true!

[RestoreAmerica2020]

47. Or like bad postured gym Jordan never passed state bar exam..not a real lawyer..

..but acts the part. Btw what's with his thuggish posture ...is it from his wrestling years?

[ShazzieB]

54. That's for sure.

Take the current SCOTUS, for example:

Harvard Law
John Roberts
Neil Gorsuch
Elena Kagan
Ketanji Brown Jackson

Yale Law
Clarence Thomas
Brett Kavanaugh
Samuel Alito
Sonia Sotomayor

Other
Amy Coney Barrett (Notre Dame Law)

Law school just teaches people how the law works. How they use that knowledge and to what ends is up to them.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

71. +100, K&R. Thanks.

Saved me a lot of searching.........

[yonder]

14. A thing of beauty, well done.

I wish I had those quick-thinking skills.

[Scottie Mom]

17. Gotta admit...

...it's not that I am quick-thinking, it's more like MAGAts are non-thinking!

[Emile]

15. Too easy, LOL

[Scottie Mom]

18. Like shooting MAGAts in a barrel!

What gives with them? It's like a certain thinking portion of their brains crawled out of their heads and died from lack of the stimilation by facts.

[somaticexperiencing]

19. Righteous. These guys never met a piece of reality they don't love to hate.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

20. Nicely played!

[Warpy]

21. It can be fun to watch the struggle to reboot

especially when they fail and have to wander off for another dose of Pox in an attempt to reseal their bubble.

Antagonizing these people doesn't work and your approach does. Letting a little gas out of the bubble until it finally collapses while maintaining a friendly face works best.

Good work!

[BaronChocula]

23. Neighbor is losing his MAGA touch

A hardcore MAGAt would look you in the eye and tell you duh-santis' Harvard law degree is a lie made up by the liberal communist media

[Scottie Mom]

31. OMG...

Last edited Sat Mar 25, 2023, 04:13 PM - Edit history (1)

...I ROFLMAO!

You are totally correct - a true MAGAt would lie his/her way out of it!

Edit for typo.

[Joinfortmill]

25. Priceless.

[Martin Eden]

29. Trumpers and DeSatanists are mentally compromised to begin with

And, as you proved, they also suffer from foot-in-mouth disease.

[3catwoman3]

40. And head-up-ass...

…syndrome.

[Scottie Mom]

43. I don't understand anyone who approves of DeSatan.

While his politics mega suck, his table manners are a close competition. Can anyone really, truly approve of someone who eats his chocolate pudding using his fingers????

Holy shit, most of us would not do that in private...can you imagine a DeSatan state dinner at the White House???? Well, I can, but only if the other guests and all attendees were were under the age of two years!

Reminds me of Animal House when Belushi filled his mouth with mashed potatoes... (Gotta admit that is one of my fav scenes from that movie!)

[Martin Eden]

64. "Can anyone really, truly approve of someone who eats his chocolate pudding using his fingers????"

It's a habit he picked up in infancy, when he would dip his fingers into his full diaper for a different brown snack.

[murielm99]

32. It is fun, isn't it?

I don't blame you. They ask for it if they engage with you.

[calimary]

34. WUNNNNNNNNNNNNderful!!!

Well done! Know your facts and you WILL win the argument. I suspect the other side will always be helpful because they latch onto the quick-'n'-dirty and don't think any farther or deeper. And the quick-'n'-dirty always provides good slogans, like that personal favorite of mine: "pasteurized process cheese food product".

If you know your stuff, you're better-armed than your opponent will inevitably be. They cling to cute Pox Noise-style talking points that sound good, but easily shredded into little pieces.

[usonian]

35. Scenes from Harvard graduations.

Lordy! Men in skirts and gowns!

[BlackSkimmer]

41. Trying to figure out the point here.

Last post I saw from you was tfg and Putin in s&m leather gear.

Interesting pattern.

[usonian]

49. If there's a pattern, it's that certain people are not what they espouse.

The Harvard pix are just to say that Harvies are typically not "ordinary buds", and that there's quite possibly a lot of play-acting going on from someone who is arguably one of the "elite".

No offense. I visited the campus and Harvard Square often.

And no slurs intended except to the hypocrites who run down others profusely.

I worked in aerospace and shortly thereafter at Cal Berkeley. Tolerance was my trademark, both for the social darwinists/Ayn Rand folks and the liberals. DU tends to be edgier.

[Higherarky]

85. FWIW,

I've noticed certain posters around DU who are shit-stirrers. I think it's okay to ignore them. Just a word to the wise.

[usonian]

87. I'm still reading the room at DU.

No post can be 100% "safe".

That's going down the "I object to the statue of David" path. That's not just a MAGA thing. I remember when an instructor at Berkeley posted some classical nudes, which were called out for sexism.

If anyone has an issue, please be explicit with it, so that authors know that they have pushed someone's buttons.

I hope you noticed my GOTV 2024 posts.

[Higherarky]

96. You're doing just fine, Friend. 👍

[malaise]

36. Love it

Rec😀😀😊😊😊

[lambchopp59]

39. Oh, snap! Now I gotta share my pseudo-MAGA co-worker story:

She knows not to discuss her POV with me because I'll cut her illogic to pieces. She also recently gave up on TFG's antics. But I couldn't help overhear her discussing how the Jan 6th rioters before were "Antifa".
But now one of the pundits has her convinced the rioters are all "political prisoners".
Just in passing I mentioned: "I'm confused. Is it the violent Antifa prisoners now the Republicans say are so innocent?"
She short circuited.

[calimary]

45. EXCELLENT!!!

Is she a soul that can be saved? Or will she be a lost cause forever more?

[lambchopp59]

60. Can't really pursue the matter

Since political discussion is sort of a "reportable offense" in the workplace, especially if it get heated. I've planted what seeds of wisdom I can. From there it's out of my hands. It's a very deep red area here, 6 more weeks on this gig and I'll eventually be back in the bay area mid-summer.
But it was funny to see her get pretzeled up in that contradiction.
I'll speculate, gathered clues that her kids will probably work on getting her completely off the MAGA kick eventually.

[IronLionZion]

63. That's proof that deep state only arrested MAGA patriots

and let Antifa get away

[Evolve Dammit]

44. I love you! That is priceless!

[H2O Man]

48. Recommended.

[MLAA]

50. Fantastic, well done!

him if he was the one that sent the white powder.

80. Don't let him near the children. Put him with the Mega Manly MAGA Proud boys.

Link to tweet

[calimary]

92. Heck, if that guy in the middle facing toward the camera just held a sign in front that said "DES",

then added one more bum with an "S" on it on the far right end, you'd have something that would spew enough gas to get us all through the next campaign!

[calimary]

94. Why the white boots?

I've seen them in photos of him that aren't doctored. What's the story?

[Kid Berwyn]

95. He's afraid.

Mud from Hurricane Ian, for one.

Or, Bootie-gate. Those boots look like what you’d buy for your little girl to wear to school on rainy days.

[Initech]

67. Their revenge and execution fetish is totally insane.

[Wonder Why]

70. My wife and I both went to Harvard. Turned out to be a nice place to

walk around for a few hours, then we headed back to the hotel.

[Skittles]

72. well done

I have mixed feelings about fucking with MAGAts - on the one hand it is very satisfying, yet sometimes I feel like I am fucking with mentally disabled people.....

[CrispyQ]

82. Just remember how the crowd laughed when Trump poked fun at a disable journalist,

& how MAGAs went ahead & voted for him despite his obvious cruelty.

[DFW]

88. As one Republican Senator told Raphael Warnock last year

He was going to a battle of wits against an unarmed opponent.

[pagarr1957]

73. Arguing with the "brain" of a MAGAT...

...is like Captain Kirk arguing with a computer. Pretty soon, it starts giving nonsense answers, then it starts smoking, then it explodes.

[calimary]

93. You're being WAY more than generous here.

Seems rather debatable to assume there's a brain anywhere in operation, inside a MAGAT.

[Vinca]

74. Well done!

[oldsoftie]

76. The "prestige" of certain named universities is a SCAM. Just like diamonds.

One that we keep falling for & one that costs students TONS of money.

[czarjak]

77. Rich, supposedly educated, but mostly rich White Guys make the best decisions.

Fox's mantra since 10/7/96.

[BlueWavePsych]

78. Kick

[CrispyQ]

81. You set the trap perfectly & he walked right into it.

Soon he'll be bragging to people that DeSantis is a Harvard grad. They are so shallow & so transparent.

[Samrob]

83. Very nice! nt

[Hortensis]

84. :) Very nicely done!

[ZonkerHarris]

89. always fun to fuck with the knee jerk opposite syndrome they have

[CTyankee]

97. You might want to add that DeSantis also worked his way through Yale as an undergrad.

So he has TWO Ivy League degrees. Boola boola...
