FWIW, I am fed up with posts about magats being HUMILIATED.

These people cannot be HUMILIATED. They have no sense of humiliation, of doing wrong, of coming across like ignorant assholes. They seem to live for the purpose of being angry about something or someone, like their sorry lives depend on it. Granted the RW press is feeding them, but they refuse to realize it.

Late New Year's resolution, but I will not waste my time with any more of these "humiliation" posts.

it matters or is useful to anyone other than the grifter who created the attention-farming content.

Ask any MAGA. The Donald's favorite denials are Vladimir's strong and powerful ones. At least that's what he said.

I also lean towards the school that believes in order for someone to be owned, destroyed, or what have you that at minimum they should be aware of said pwnage with a preference for it to be real time and present/some form of exchange.

One fairly genuine example, in my opinion, is that clip (which you've probably seen 100 times by now if you watch MSNBC) of Jim Jordan stammering his way through a response to being asked about phone calls to Trump on 1/6.

That humiliation, of course, didn't have much impact Jordan's career. Fox News and the like weren't ever going to bother showing that fiasco the their viewers, so few who Jordan depends on for votes will ever know.

Though I suppose it does give some people something to talk about.

Click bait. all of them. Knowing that is one thing, but that it's done here sucks.

To me characterizing as mere hyperbole , which has been said in other discussions, sort of dismisses the devolution of all meaning and certainly isn't close to factual as you point out. They are never humiliated. not ever.

It is often my wish our peeps were more intellectually honest, or respectfully of others intelligence, regarding how they describe their content. The videos though are written by the content provider. On the occasions when I glance at the "viewers" count, it's mostly zero here. So my question is why bother if very few if any Du'ers are even bothering to click?

I just ignore 99% of the time. but now I'm seeing them in GD.
