Are a source of great comedy.

You make it so easy with your thin skin and putrage on behalf of your little chinadoll who thinks that every crtiticism of her is sexist.

The same people who cries about objectifying women are throwing Monika Lewinsky under the bus, painting her as a slut while St. Hillary i as pure as a virgin...
That is great comedy for people who are not afraid to be politically incorrect and find pleasure in the putrage of the over sensitive Hillary supporters with a constant trigger alert.
You're the epiphamy of upper class burgeois sensitivities who cares more about phraising thant actual content and context that George Carlin is making fun of.
What stuns me, is that the majority of her supporters are Babyboomers who got everything they want to deny Millenials and pushes youngsters to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps and not be jealous of people who make mponey (code work for the republican talking point "admire the job creator! Thanks to them and their tax dollars, you get to go to school" or something.)

Equally funny is it when Hillary puts her finger up some young woman's nose having a narcisstic outrqage on donations (investment) from oil lobbyists...her putrage on behalf of SAndy Hook victims, accusing Bernie Sanders to be in the bag with arms dealers while she runs to a fundraiser arrqanged by an old NRA lobbyists and celebrates an arms deal with the Saudis who will guaranteed be using those arms against women and children.

Hillary supprters clsaims she is pro LGBT rights. Apparently not enough to condemn the Honduras coup, resulting in the deaths of gay rights activists, leavingt a trail of blood as a remnant from the "good old days" when School of Americass proped up RW dictatorships to keep the indigenouos populations under control and marginalized.
If Hillary was pro gay rights, she would scorn the Saudis for criminalizing gays instead of taking their money and help them get an arms deal.
IF Hillary was so concerned about women and children, she would distance herself from Maddie Albright and her statement that the death fo half a million women and children in Iraq was "worth the price". In other words, she committed a crime against hiumanity and think that USAs agenda and dominionism is more important than the lives of others. As long as otbhers pay the price, she and Hillary is more than happy to make other suffer...
They are both super politicians. They have no consience, no moral compas and no empathy. We miust not support their wild behavior and instead of giving them our support and money, they should be brought to heel.
So let's go down memory lane anfd have some laughs at the deaths of others without remores and without regards to the conseqences... shall, shall we?



She acts almost as if she pulled the trigger herslef or pointed Sniper Kyle in the right direction...



We have nationalists in my country who cheers these consequences of Hillary's sense of humor and complete incompetence.

And now, a joke about "being prepared for the test" in the qualifications department.



Shall we put this in the "oops" dept over Hillary's political gaffes?

A vote for war neocon war monger Hillary is a spit in the face of both veterans as well as Sandy Hook victims.

It's not a post questioning or needling someone about "sexual identity" (ie: homosexuality)

Instead, I see it more along the lines of poking fun at the nerdy "40-year-old-virgin" anti-social unsophisticated sexually repressed angry-geek D&D gamer who's still living in his mother's basement.

Kinda like an angry version of the comic-book store owner on "Big Bang Theory"

It's pretty funny actually ... probably shouldn't be taken too seriously. Especially considering the vicious smears that have been hurled at Hillary supporters, this one is definitely on the tame side.

... of someone else's light hearted needling. But you're welcome to run with it if you think you can get some mileage with the faux indignity.

In fairness ... in spite of the amusing visual, I'm sure that there are many who actually pay rent for their subterranean abodes while they hammer out non-stop attacks and angry smears.

I wouldn't really consider it to be an actual "meme" (you do know what that word means, right?) But if you'd like to turn it into one, then I encourage you to do so. It'll be interesting to see how it's supposed to be done.

expressed by many Bernie supporters who think that just because Hillary supporters don't show their support in the same way they do -- like gathering in huge crowds for rallies -- that Hillary supporters are not equally enthusiastic.

There are many ways to show enthusiasm. The Bernie supporter standard isn't the only one.

Take the same comment and just replace men with women and you'll see how it sounds.

Hillary's vulgar trolls on the internet don't have any limit to how low they will stoop to belittle and degrade people who dare to question their leader.

Yeah, let's try reworking that sentence to see how awful it is.

The chicks who complain about the enthusiasm gap when it comes to Bernie Sanders probably have never seen a man excited.




If you think that sentence is outrageous bullying, then you have led an awfully sheltered online life.
