Funniest/Most Insightful Comments Of The Week At Techdirt

This week, our first place winner on the insightful side is Raphael with a comment about Trump demanding billions from the IRS:

This reminds me, Trump loves to rant and rave about how poorly and dysfunctionally the countries of origin of many migrant to the USA are run, and how bad things look like there.

You know why those countries are so poorly run, Donald? You know why things are so bad there?

Because countries like that are usually run by people who love to pay out large amounts of public money to themselves. Because they’re usually run by people who love to name everything after themselves. Because they’re usually run by people who love to decorate everything in sight with lots of glittering gold. Because they’re usually run by people who love to have their subordinates praise them to high Heaven all the time. Because they’re usually run by people who let their armed goons do whatever they want. #

In short, because they’re run by people like you.

In second place, it’s dfbomb with a comment about calling what’s happening by its proper name:

Minneapolis checking in.

They’re still disappearing my neighbors.

They’re still jumped up shits afraid of a city that cares for each other.

They’re still doing ethnic cleansing.

They’re still nazis.

For editor’s choice on the insightful side, we start out with a comment from Heart of Dawn about Tom Homan’s “look what you made us do” comments:

That’s exactly how abusers talk. “Don’t fight back. Its your own fault if I hurt you.”

Next, it’s MrWilson with a comment about right wing “comedy”:

Right wingers don’t tell jokes. Their humor is just disgust and dehumanization of out groups and implied threats, with a lol as punctuation.

Speaking of comedy, over on the funny side our first place winner is David with a theory about the Trump Phone’s failure to materialize:

Probably camera problems

Test video recordings still don’t match Kristi Noem’s scene descriptions, and the phone keeps recording when it should have an unfortunate failure.

In second place, it’s dfbomb again with another comment from Minneapolis:

Minneapolis would cordially like to invite Tom Homan outside for a game of “Hide and go fuck yourself.”

Things were a little slow on the funny side this week, so we’ll just do one editor’s choice — an anonymous comment about a brief line in one of our posts where we described a document in case “you can’t read it”:

THAT’S LIBERAL BIAS!

That’s all for this week, folks!
