Dilbert - C or D?

now he says that Trump is polling badly bcz Trumpsters are collectively playing "the most epic practical joke" by pretending not to be voting for him, so that they will prove the polls wrong

has this guy been murdered yet or does that happen in january

#cope

To avoid getting bogged down on the main US politics thread about yesterday's news, just wanted to share my overly generous take on "weaponized autism". I think the idea is that Trump has an army of rain men who are going to sweep into contested cities and use their super counting skills to refute the reported ballot data.

No, it's a chan thing.

Thanks, I wish I never read that

Sorry dude ;_;

Not your fault, just that it was predictably far shitier than my imagination allowed.

Sad that Kim Thompson is no longer around to debate this with Groth

Woodland camouflage is not very effective in downtown DC, btw. You'd blend in better in a giant pigeon costume.

the guy is a narcissist prick, but that was clearly a joke.

eh...

it's about as funny as the average dilbert was

honestly it's a better joke than any of the last 7,000 Dilbert strips

66% narcissism meaning he needs to say something, anything, to have people watch his livevlogs; 24% grift, hoping to convert his viewers to buy his books or subscribe to his "microlessons" app; 10% more narcissism making him think this is a functional joke.

never trust anyone who blinks as much as dilbert dude

I actually read a few Dilberts today because I saw this strip on Twitter and wasn't sure if it was real:

https://dilbert.com/strip/2021-02-10

reading the last month or so worth the strip kind of resembles those auto-generated Garfields - it's just a bunch of words with no identifiable punchline. in January alone he seemed to recycle the exact same 'joke' several times, a joke that, if you didn't know who wrote it, you'd think was a criticism of Trumpism. its weird because I remember him being funny and when I jump back to 1997 you can see actual cleverness and wit. and its not like he's simply gotten less funny over the years, it's more like he can't even identify what a joke is anymore.

Reminds me of one of my old weird internet faves, Nutz: https://web.archive.org/web/20050403182604/http://home.earthlink.net/~wrmbero/

i see the commenters on his cartoons are brain-damaged shit-sacks one and all

I mean he's spent the last 5 years cultivating that exact audience so yeah

ha, the comments don't even display for me

Please stop asking me to form an opinion around your hallucination that someone "incited an insurrection." That only happened in your imagination and was created by the Fake News Industry. I don't form policy opinions around the hallucinations of strangers.

whoa there are over 100 comments on every dilbert strip

the idea that Adams views Trump as just a figment of his own diseased mind actually makes everything he's written the last few years make much more sense

President of Elbonia

have any papers dropped him?

good question

He hasn’t spent months whining about it on Fox News so I would assume not

he clearly thinks he is a genius (he is not a genius)

I don't know how well Trump's legal team will do today, but if I were them I could easily win from today's field position. The other side handed them a clean path to victory.

PLEASE let him take over

also lol that hes so dumb he thinks the trial is some kind of battle of ideas

I'm sure Adams could get Trump acquitted by the Senate GOP, as could anyone, as could I if I chose to not mount a defense but freestyle over the "Push It" beat for 6 hours straight

Yeah the path to victory was foreordained. When you need two thirds of the jurors, simply have half of them be spineless pieces of shit. Simple.

lmao look who's involved in this for some reason

https://www.theamericanconservative.com/state-of-the-union/leaked-texts-from-israeli-consular-official-show-more-details-in-gaetz-levinson-funding-scheme/

uhh if those were the parties involved in texting then the story is pretty much “Scott Adams sent us these screenshots” right? Or am I misinterpreting the chain of communication?

To be fair, surprised if Adams could send a screenshot without accidentally doxxing his own weird porn fetishes in another tab

looooooooooooooooool what is going on here

you’re entering the pearly gaetz of hell

i foolishly looked at Adams's twitter to see if he might be posting about this, but no --- it's all godawful posts in defense of George Floyd's murderer and the Georgia voter suppression law, with his stupid cult eating up every line. barf.

its hard for me to even process the idea of someone dumb enough to be texting buddies with scott adams. someone actually having the thought "this confidential info, i wonder what scott adams' take on it would be?"

he's definitely positioned himself as the idiot's idea of what a smart person sounds like, it's not really a surprise that conservatives think his insights are relevant

godawful posts in defense of George Floyd's murderer and the Georgia voter suppression law,

Crowing that nobody can show him a single case of a person wanting to vote in 2024 who has been unable to, therefore people have been hypnotized by the media into believing there’s a problem.

as usual the question is "is he just pretending to misunderstand the problem or is he actually that stupid"

I think at this point it's self-evident that that question isn't worth asking

true there is possibly no one on the planet (besides maybe Trump himself?) who exudes more of that rich old white guy "don't actually care about a single issue because this is all a game to me" energy

at some point it doesn’t matter if you’re disingenuous or just an idiot

that point is as soon as one person finds you credible imo

every time I look at his twitter he seems to be ranting about teachers' unions, just seems like such an odd and stupid thing to get worked up about

bingo

One way to eliminate police shootings during traffic stops is to allow only Uber-like self-driving cars (no other cars) in urban areas. If a perp is in one of those, police can override its controls, lock in the perp, and make it drive to police headquarters for safe handling.
