He's following through on Banksy's painfully forced mystique marketing, so the comparison isn't too off.

In a way that's more ham fisted than a pig orgy.

Some quotes:

So it's not about standing for something, rather it's about beating your supposed enemies.

This is the cognitive dissonance I don't understand. Obama is a Muslim who isn't an American citizen and must provide proof after proof but asking Donald Trump to release his tax returns to demonstrate that his decisions aren't unduly influenced by his financial holdings is a bridge too far. OK...

Nothing like making 160 million of your fellow Americans into a giant faceless monolith. Both sides are guilty etc., etc. However, the article is on Sabo, so I'll focus on his hypocrisy.


Well, I'm sad now. Thanks, Anteater.

The guy is a walking contradiction, so I just thought it was unusual enough (and Trump related) to share. The idea of the establishment itself being anti-establishment is a curious one.

I can't even be mad about this because I'm laughing too hard.

I'm past the point of wanting to punch him in the face every time he opens his mouth.

Tangentially Trump related, I find the outrage over this amusing:
Johnny Depp Jokes about Assassinating Trump

Short version, he asked "When was the last time an actor killed a President? I'm just asking the question."

So of course, the Fox and co. call him treasonous (which statutorily, he is not) and seditious (maybe closer to the mark), but fail to see the ironic, rhetorical move here (like Trump as Caesar in the play or Kathy Griffin's mostly tasteless severed head).

Moreover, they have no problem applying the double standard to Trump's own words. He bragged about being able to commit murder with no repercussion, bragged about leveraging celebrity into committing sexual assault, etc. But the best and most recent parallel I can draw is his "I hope you can see a way to letting this [Flynn thing] go". Clearly a veiled threat of potential negative consequences if James Comey did not 'let it go'.

Both men aired gross ideas and invoked the 'just saying' defense. I guess whichever one you think is less onerous is a clear indication of your political persuasion.

I'm glad not giving a **** about either of them saying those things aligns with my non-affiliation.
