    This seemed like anyone could have claimed that they were the meme originator, and could have apologized profusely and deleted stuff, etc.

    What if the Reddit person turns out to be a false flag operation, and CNN has nothing, absolutely nothing, but egg on their face and further tarnish on their reputation?

    I just don't see how certain CNN can be that they got the right person. The way the Reddit person called, identified himself, etc., hell the whole thing sounds fishy and a setup. Sometimes, some leads are too good to be true.

    So, I wouldn't be surprised to see another meme creator lay claim to the logo beatdown over the next few days.

    Sumbitch should have used VRBO or AirBNB.

    It actually appears that while HanAssholeSolo created the original version of the meme, the version that Trump shared was created by someone else.

    Buzzfeed has a story about it.

    Vox really is the best.

    So YF, how pissed did you get at NPR for tweeting out the Declaration of Independence? Been dying to ask.

    Poland and Slovenia were once both ruled by the Habsburgs. (I suppose. Or the Ottomans. Or the Holy Roman Empire, or Francois I of France.)

    Some links you never forget.

    If I followed NPR on Twitter (or indeed if I still used it regularly at all), I'd have found it fairly annoying to have my timeline flooded like that. But dear Lord we've got some people on edge in this country. America in general, left, right and center, needs to have a couple of beers and watch the waves crash on the beach awhile.

    First saw it hear. The responses kill me.

    One more reason I canceled my NYT sub -- I don't need a fucking copy of the Constitution in the paper, with Trumps cartoon face on it. Fuck off, you giant douches. We get it. Your rag is all Trump, all the time.

    Maybe because they believed that the creator may have been inciting violence?

    You mean all we have to do to save newspapers is to just print more of them?
