I wrote a column for The Freethinker yesterday, a play on freethinking and free thinking i.e. a joke about the fact that some thinking is a good deal too free, like for instance Trump’s.
What’s funny about that is that several of the people commenting are…how shall I put this…missing the fact that it’s a joke and that there are many sub-jokes within the larger joke…Which is particularly amusing because the column is partly about Trump’s very free thoughts about how he was being sarcastic and all you dopes missed it.
Also one person thinks it’s a good sign that “stalwart Trump supporters like Benson are getting critical of him.”

Yes, that’s just how I think of you, Ophelia, as a stalwart Trump supporter.
If I rolled my eyes any harder, I’d tear my optic nerves.

Oh, but she’s “got the right person”, after all. Sorry, Ophelia, I’ll just have to stop reading your blog now.
Well obviously that comment was sarcastic…
Ophelia, you tricky, tricky person! All this negative talk about Trump was really to feed us subliminal messages of support! So we would all turn around and vote for the pussy-grabber in chief this November! Wow. Who would have thought?

I’m waiting. [tap, tap, tap]
Ha! Just as I thought! All this time I’m waiting and you haven’t been able to point to even one critical entry. If the MAGA hat fits, wear it!
I’m actually Sean Spicer in disguise!
That explains why we’ve never seen photos of your feet.
I like the one where the commenter says she “supports your owning those feelings”, lmao! Emotional reasoning much? Also, the people who didn’t understand the first two sentences, like there is some misunderstanding by OB of what ‘freethought’ means (as if!), while missing the point entirely. (◔_◔)
OB, you know better than to venture out during this crisis (the Trump one, not the virus), and stay home here at B&W!
Norm Macdonald as Lou Gehrig
twiliter – yebbut I have this monthly column there so I HAFta venture out.
Well for goodness sake wear a mask, or a flak jacket, or something! Maybe the Popemobile is available… ;)
@ Ms. Benson, #7 – In disguise, not in a hedge or a rosebush?
Except that Trump isn’t thinking in the first place.
