I’m Not Proud That We Elected Obama

I have noticed that white men will make complete fools of themselves by making political statements that are calculated to reveal how pure they are when it comes to matters of race.
The first and most often used strategy is to be the first to make an accusation of racism, in some form. There were echoes of this in Coburn’s statement.

"ἰδιώτης"

That was just on the tip of my tongue. Around here we call them 'stulti'.

You got some good pics that pookie and I really like :-)

B.T.T.T.

[sport]

That was why he was put in the White House, to destroy the United States and with the help of the media, he is succeeding.

[HotHunt]

Thanks. You're welcome. I am not a professional but I enjoy doing the images, mostly tied into the political news and current events of the day.

Do you work with pookie18 on Today's Toons? He's a great guy for posting my work on the GOPBriefingRoom.com website.

[PROCON]

No, I, among others just enjoy pookie's toons.

I'm one of those right-wing nut jobs, donchaknow...

[HotHunt]

I know B.T.T.T. means Back To The Top and is used interchangeably with "Bump" sometimes but I don't understand what either of them "means". Some help please?

Thanks.

You see the top left part of the page where it says "Articles", "Activity" and "Comments"?

If you click on the "Comments" button, every time you refresh, you'll get the latest comment that's been posted regardless of the thread.

So somebody who simply wants a particular thread to get more attention will type in BTTT or Bump so the thread shows up at the top of the page.

It's a way to prolong a thread life.

[HotHunt]

Me too. I've been going to Today's Toons first thing every morning for years now.

Last year, I saw one of my own creations on Today's Toons and was shocked. After contacting pookie18, he said he had seen it on a Facebook page or something like that. I used to post all of my creations on a FB site for conservatives from my high school class. Someone used one of them and posted it on their FB page. He got it from there.

From then on, I have been sending my images directly to pookie18 for posting on Today's Toons. Depending on his schedule he has posted as many as four or five of mine in one day. Today, I had three on there. Sometimes my production falls off and I have none. But I do it just for fun. Again, I am glad you enjoy them.

[HotHunt]

Hey, thanks. I think I got that... :-)

[skinkinthegrass]

but I don't understand what either
of them "means". Some help please?Just means: top to "Latest Articles"...
interchangable..forgot just *BUMP!*

[HotHunt]

Is it because the longer a posting and thread comments are on, the less likely more people will see it because new posts are going up all the time and it slips further back in the pack? It's just a way of pushing the posting back to the top of the pile so more people have a chance to see and comment on it?

Just making sure I understand the reason behind doing the Bump or BTTT. I'm a little slow on the uptake at these things. :-)

Thanks again.

Yes.

[HotHunt]

Okay, I understand "it" now.

But another dumb question, does posting "Bump" or "BTTT" in the reply box, automatically force the posting back to the top or is there some other mechanism that does that? How does the mechanics of it work?

Thanks for your patience with my ignorance.

I'm going to take a wild guess that the only things His Excellency Al-Hashish Field Marshmallow Dr. Barack Obama Dada, COD, RIP, LSMFT, Would-Be Life President of the United States, and Chairman of the Organisation of Halfrican Unity hasn't blamed for his woes are the Kardashians.

(If Kim Jong-Un and/or his minions had hacked them, even we'd nominate him for Man of the Year!)

[Lazamataz]

BTTT's/bumps force the article to the top of the feed.

No problem about ignorance. I was once, too.
