Funniest/Most Insightful Comments Of The Week At BestNetTech
from the speaking-out dept
This week, our first place winner on the insightful side is Stephen T. Stone with a comment about ICE and CBP stealing money from citizens at the Minneapolis airport:
Dear Democrats in leadership positions:
There is no reforming or retraining this level of institutional rot. Your centrist asses need to start demanding the abolishment of ICE (and DHS), and you need to start doing it now.
Sincerely, a concerned US citizen
In second place, it’s Strawb with an answer to the question of why the CIA deleted its famous World Factbook resource:
Well, the easy answer is “Because a corrupt government’s worst enemy is a well-informed population”.
For editor’s choice on the insightful side, we start out with Bloof offering another even broader answer to that question:
If something is useful and a product of government, that’s all the reason republicans need to destroy it.
Next, it’s dfbomb bringing more updates from Minneapolis:
They leave cars running from their victims in the road. We have to find tows and clear it.
They deploy tear gas taking people from parks. We have to clean up and help those hurt.
They harass and stalk schools, taking kids with impunity. They approach our school patrols pretending to be locals to get info.
They kill and are protected.
They do not care if the people they take are actually what they’re told to look for, they just take brown people and those that piss them off.
They took Native-Americans and have not returned them.
This is ethnic cleansing and it is done at the behest of a white supremacist administration hunting brown people.
This has not stopped. There is no draw down.
Please stop arguing over the KIND of fascism this is and start rattling cages in DC to abolish this bullshit.
This is not a fucking drill.
Over on the funny side, our first place winner is terribly tired with a comment about a line in one of the federal rulings calling out the administration’s immigration bullshit:
Holy old fuck, she pounds X is a wild-ass sentence to be reading in the real god damn world.
Couldn’t have made it sound more like an addictive substance if I tried.
In second place, it’s dfbomb again, this time with a comment on our post about news websites bringing back comment sections:
Is there irony in the urge for me to shitpost in the comments on this one?
Things are still pretty slow on the funny side (for reasons that continue to be obvious), so we’ll stick to just one editor’s choice — a very simple answer to the question of why the CIA shut down the Factbook, this time from an anonymous commenter:
Oh, that’s easy. They shut it down because it has facts in it.
That’s all for this week, folks!

On election day, to add 2 more selections.
For each candidate. Select None of the Above.
For Federal. Vote of no confidence.
1 more Law to add. That WE the people get the last vote. As we are the ones that have to live by it, and LAws are for those willing to Live by it.
Re:
What exactly happens if none of the above or no confidence wins ?
If you repeat the election, which candidates get to stand for round 2 ?
Consider how voters will respond to that when it happens.
And frankly they’re not big fans of books, either.
Re:
Or the world.
Re:
“And frankly they’re not big fans of books, either.”
To be fair, there is one book of fairy tales they are fanatical about…
Re:
Well, books in the plural sense. There’s one book they like…though I’m not sure they’ve read all of that one.
