Milo Yiannopoulos has resigned from Breitbart.

Wait, Milo had a job besides professional provocateur?

[Rufus The Monocled]

Hello.

[DEG]

Hello

[commodious rebrands]

Chief Clickbait Artist.

[Jerry on the sea]

He's going to open a hair salon right across the street from Reason's DC office.

[NYC2AZ]

Robby will be so excited!

[Fist of Etiquette]

A Texas legislator wants to force students to report rapes.

Honestly, this seems like it could have come from either side of the aisle.

[Conchfritters]

Which is why it will be passed unanimously.

[Libertarian]

Force is bad, m'kay?

Sorry for the primo j/o material at work, Crusty.

Milo Yiannopoulos

I heard he's looking for daddy.

[Zeb]

He wishes he was 13 again.

[Fire Dalmia (DoM5k)]

Milo Yiannopoulos has resigned from Breitbart. His CPAC speech and book deal with Simon & Schuester were also cancelled.

And now that they have taken the scalp of the NaziFascistEvilWhiteCisHetero Enemy, the SJWs bloodlust against free speech has been quelled and they won't demand further sacrifices. Hurray.

[Not a True MJG]

Yes... it was the SJWs responsible for all of this...

[Fire Dalmia (DoM5k)]

Not this particular incident, no (though I still don't understand what was so offensive about what he said), but he's been in their crosshairs for years.

[Chipper Morning Wood]

This was a socon operation.

[Jerry on the sea]

Whenever socons and SJWs unite, freedom suffers.

[SimonD]

...you said that like the two groups aren't (at least) cousins. They are basically the same, they just tend to be the same about different things usually.

[AlmightyJB]

The difference is that the sjws are more puritan.

[Trigger Hippie]

'Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. I would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.' -C.S. Lewis

[American Memer]

Well, strike the "Hetero" not that those people care.

[MythicalLibertarianWoman]

lol

[Fist of Etiquette]

The New York Times wonders if liberal political-correctness-run-amok could be helping Trump.

Providing an other for a leader to rail against? Sounds crazy.

[Microaggressor]

That NYT piece sort of parallels Reason vs the commenters.
I'm sure Robby didn't even read it.

Well, my goodness!

[Zeb]

Must have been a small 4:20 blunt today.

[Conchfritters]

A pinny

Gun Control Laws Should Be Fair

Well, better than nothing, I guess.

[DEG]

I like that the first thing I was greeted with when I read that article was a pop-up asking me to donate to the ACLU.

[Juice]

And it says "He discriminated. We sued."

[DEG]

I'm a straight man. I discriminate against homosexual men when it comes to dating. Is the ACLU going to sue me?

[NYC2AZ]

Depends... are you a straight white man?

[DEG]

I'll have to watch that later. I'm still at the office.

[DEG]

Oh, yeah, I'm fucked.

[Mickey Rat]

Do you consider yourself a public accommodation?

[DEG]

Judging by the taxes I pay, the government considers my wallet and bank account public accommodations.

[jesse.in.mb]

That depends on how attractive you are or whether or not you can be mined for strategic resources.

The Agenda is currently processing your cost/benefit analysis as we speak.

[DEG]

To the mines then.

[Juice]

It's a start?

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

Milo Yiannopoulos has resigned from Breitbart. His CPAC speech and book deal with Simon & Schuester were also cancelled.

I thought digital crucifixion would be bloodier.

[Chipper Morning Wood]

And more costly. Ten nails are needed.

[jesse.in.mb]

This is bad. I'm laughing, but it's bad.

[Austrian Anarchy]

Hi tech lynching

[Zeb]

Is that Ashton Kutcher?

[The Late P Brooks]

Milo Yiannopoulos has resigned from Breitbart. His CPAC speech and book deal with Simon & Schuester were also cancelled.

Do you get a piece of that scalp to hang on your belt?

[Palin's Buttplug]

The American Civil Liberties Union explains its opposition to a law that would make it harder for the mentally ill to purchase guns.

But the wingnuts here tell me the ACLU is just an anti-gun Commie organization.

[Chip Woodier]

If the mentally ill are too dangerous to purchase a gun, they are too dangerous to be loose in public.

[OldMexican Blankety Blank]

Re: Peter Caca,

But the wingnuts here tell me the ACLU is just an anti-gun Commie organization.

El Se?or Presidente Bananero Trumpo is coming for the guns... of liberals!

He's not just a p...y grabber, you know.

Liberals need guns to defend their pot plants from DA Jeff! The ACLU has finally come around to defend the actual constitution!

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

A Texas legislator wants to force students to report rapes. What could go wrong?

It'll make for bad press for the boys in blue?

[american socialist]

The anne frank center: "no matter what trump said we were going to complain"

[Juice]

And if he said nothing, of course that means he's a white supremacist.

[The Grinch]

Why bother saying anything when they'll attack you for it anyway?

[Chipper Morning Wood]

You know who else made Anne Frank complain?

[Austrian Anarchy]

The guy who owned the Achterhuis and would not let her family use the WC during the day?

[mad.casual]

The Anne Frank Center is not satisfied with President Trump's stated opposition to anti-Semitism.

Should he say it louder?

[Palin's Buttplug]

"Israel sends their rapists here illegally" just doesn't have a lot of political value.

[commodious rebrands]

Trump did even better than hiding a Jewish family: he married his daughter into one.

[mad.casual]

Ironic that the original translation of shiksa was along the lines of 'pants pisser'.

[grrizzly]

The Anne Frank Center is not satisfied with President Trump's stated opposition to anti-Semitism.

The Anne Frank Center sounds very hysterical. But what is their evidence that Antisemitism permeates the Trump administration?

[Zeb]

As far as I have seen the evidence is that one Jew criticized another Jew for being insufficiently pro-Israel on Breitbart.

[John Titor]

I tried to donate, but I couldn't find them.

[SIV]

They're hiding in the attic!

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

The Anne Frank Center is not satisfied with President Trump's stated opposition to anti-Semitism.

I think the proper ritual is too take Ivanka to a rock on top a mountain, raise a sharpened blade with a strong fist and then moments before one strikes a fatal blow -- if they are worthy -- god will intervene and give you a passing grade on Judaism.

[creech]

That,or call out the states' National Guard to protect every Jewish cultural center in the country no matter how far from the border they are located.

[Rufus The Monocled]

OH NO! Is there no end to this Russian conspiracy?

"Bottoms Up! Russian Wines From Crimea Win Accolades in Italy"

http://bit.ly/2lsnXQT

[Juice]

Notice how Sputnik did that?

They're Russian wines from Crimea, not Ukranian.

[Rufus The Monocled]

Shit! I didn't realize that!

[This Machine Chips Fascists]

Crimea has always made Russian wine. Crimea has never made fascist Ukraine wine. (Russia Today)

[Chipper Morning Wood]

Is it because they are spiked with vodka?

[commodious rebrands]

Prof. Hubert J. Farnsworth: Good lord! According to the spetrolyzer, Spragel's secret ingredient was... water! Ordinary water!

Philip J. Fry: Ah, so the real gift Spragel gave you was confidence. The confidence to be your best.

Prof. Hubert J. Farnsworth: Yes, ordinary water, laced with nothing more than a few spoonfuls of LSD.

[#NotMyReason (Krabappel)]

That is a great episode.

"The pie is ready. You guys like swarms of things, right?"

[The Late P Brooks]

it was the SJWs responsible for all of this...

SJW concern trolls, not that we'd name any names.

"Freedom of speech is all well and good, in theory..."

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

Here's a transcript of Milo's press conference?published by Breitbart, oddly enough.

Why would I contextualize his words now that it is over? Collective consciousness makes it passable to just fuck him into the dirt, right Robby?

[Citizen X - #6]

Collective consciousness makes it passable to just fuck him into the dirt

Isn't he into that?

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

It don't matter if a bitch likes getting fucked or not; either way he/she's gotta be put in xer place.

[Chipper Morning Wood]

No, dirt is dirty.

[John Titor]

It's a pretty sick song, I have to admit.

[Bacon-Magic glib reasonoid]

Good job, Robby Soave.

[DOOMco]

First, they came for Milo, and I said nothing because he was crass and offended goodthinkers.

[block30]

That about sums it up.

[strat]

I am so swiping, er. I mean quoting that.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

God damn these threads got boring. What am I supposed to do now, work??

[#NotMyReason (Krabappel)]

PM Links were a good way to finish out the last hour of work.

I'm about done here -- the hit pieces on MY from Nick and Shikha today were pathetic, and I really regret donating money to them in December.

[Free Society]

I hope in the meanwhile you've been using adblock. It's been fun having you. If I end up leaving the commentariat it's because the decent commentarians like yourself have all fled.

[John Titor]

There exists a paradise just beyond the horizon Krapappel, land of milk and honey.

(Don't drink the milk, Sugarfree 'made' it)

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

God damn these threads got boring. What am I supposed to do now, work??

[DOOMco]

1 comment/min seems low.

[Bacon-Magic glib reasonoid]

Slightly.

[Bacon-Magic glib reasonoid]

I was comment #66. "Execute order 66." -some creepy guy in a nifty black hooded robe

[DOOMco]

I think his name is Senate?

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

Supreme Chancellor!

[Bacon-Magic glib reasonoid]

Ovaltine? Constantine? Grenadine? I... can't... remember... mind... is... clouded... by... dark...side...(put the last 3 ... in for good luck).
Then I couldn't post because of a fucking space in words. Sheesh.

[MikeT1986]

I mean what?

[Free Society]

Here's a transcript of Milo's press conference?published by Breitbart, oddly enough.

Why is that odd? Because something something "vile" something something "loathsome"?

[MikeT1986]

Because he just resigned from there.

Usually there's some awkwardness after something like that.

[commodious rebrands]

Milo papers over the awkwardness with his winning personality.

[Not a True MJG]

Are we bringing euphemisms back?

[Libertarian]

They just keep coming and coming, don't they?

[OldMexican Blankety Blank]

Stop! Stop with the schtick! Please, make it stop!

[OldMexican Blankety Blank]

Have Trumpistas sucked the oxygen off this fine thread? You be the judge, because I quit. I'm going to bed.

[AlmightyJB]

"if liberal political-correctness-run-amok could be helping Trump"

Hey they try. They made fun of how the first lady talks and called her a whore. Don't forget all the misogyny directed at Palin. So even when they're not politically correct they help the other side. Who are the deplorables again?

[Sarcastro]

I find it interesting in the NYT piece, the author, showing how the left's actions are pushing more people to the right, repeatedly says "Mr. Trump" instead "President Trump." Author should've listened to her own advice.

[Not a True MJG]

The NYT always refers to the president as Mr. after the first reference.

[jesse.in.mb]

Brutal

[Not a True MJG]

There are those rare times when I feel like posting something useful and informative.

[NotAnotherSkippy]

So Robby again thinks he's a thought leader after he admits that the commentariat was right about Trump's anti-PC appeal months before he woke up to it. Just like he wants to take credit for following the reporting by WaPo on the Rolling Stone rape hoax. JOURNALISM!

[some guy]

Wait a minute. The links are early. But only about a hundred people commented. And everyone is okay with this? DID I MISS SOMETHING?
