Seems everybody in the world’s got an itchy Twitter finger and is in desperate need of something, anything, to complain about or comment on…context be damned. Tech has made us forget another golden rule - never pass up an opportunity to keep your mouth shut.

OMGosh , how childish. It’s state-run media, though, so what do you expect? Believing them is the equivalent of trusting FOX Entertainment for … well, the truth.

OT: Saw at Digby yesterday that 89% of Republicans are against Obama pardoning TWO turkeys instead of the traditional single turkey.

How fucking crazy is that?

Trump is Chinese? Who knew?

The same guys think that if Hillary becomes the first woman president not only will she refuse to pardon a turkey, she’ll cut the heads off a few on live TV with a machete.

He is mistaking her for Madame Palin…

Was thinking that this was the Faux News version in cahoots with the Politburo of Communist China myself. I knew our own Faux News would have essentially done the same if China hadn’t jumped on it first only Abe Lincoln would have been deemed a Democrat in their chyron.
You know…Abraham Lincoln (D-Illinois) or some such shit.

Thing is, PM Abe is kind of a turkey. Much disliked in Japan by my progressive Japanese friends for his move toward greater militarization of the Japan’s Self Defense Force, among other reasons. They call him the Japanese Dubya.
