1. Go to discussionist where the alt right is denying the existance of the

Alt right. They have realized nazi loving is a bridge too far and not enough americans want to be seen as nazi loving people.

4. I would never enter that sewer again. I managed a few weeks when it first started.

that was more than enough.

[applegrove]

5. I go there and put out 'cookies' that tell me where the right wing is at. They

never fail to inform. But i too can't take it for long. Too sad. Too frightening. I can't believe they think bullying or debasing others is somehow leadership. Deluded they are.

8. I got suspended after about 11 posts

What a cesspool

Never again. I'm not that curious about what fascists are thinking.

6. Good on ya, Patricia! I guess we'll

7. LOL

9. I expected better from Patricia

Seriously, an apostrophe to indicate a plural?

Otherwise, I'm humored. Greatly.

[burrowowl]

10. Ditto!

[Dr. Strange]

18. Wow, focusing on the grammar?

What are you, some kind of grammar bad guy? Like a grammar villain? Or a grammar, like, grammar meanie?

[jayschool2013]

20. Yep.

29. Wrong your at the end, js

31. And that's the beauty

in humor.

26. No, this is a legitimate issue

English does not use an apostrophe to form a plural. Period. There is no school anywhere in the USA or Canada or the UK that taught anyone to do that. That is pure Republicanese, like interchanging to/too/two or lose/loose.

Using made-up versions of the language is pure Dan Quayle/GW Bush/Trump. It makes the user look stupid. Let the Republicans own it, not us.

28. It's such a small error that it may have been a mistake.

I was going to be an English teacher and aced all exams in college for Advanced Composition and Grammar (incl. the final). But when posting online in a hurry or when I'm tired, I make typos or stupid mistakes, like misspelling fisch.

30. Thank you. This using apostrophes for plural words drives me absolutely nuts.

I don't understand how it happened. I've been online since 1999, but it was just a relatively few years ago that this phenomena of apostrophes being used in plural nouns starting showing up. And with astonishing speed it became ubiquitous.

It seems obvious that schools must have given up on teaching any fundamentals of English grammar whatsoever. Equally obvious is the dearth of reading books of any kind among the general population.

I'm 68 years old and attended Catholic schools for most of my elementary school years, where proper grammar was very much inculcated into our developing young minds. My mother was a relentless grammarian who constantly corrected my and my sisters speech and English usage all throughout our childhoods. I myself was an English major in college.

When I see apostrophes being so flagrantly misused, it's the visual equivalent of fingernails on a blackboard. It absolutely ruins whatever I'm reading - I don't care how compelling the thought may be behind the text, if the writer is so ignorant as to use an apostrophe for a plural noun, how can I respect what they have to say?

11. Bannon gets them....

on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Trump gets them on Tuesday, Thursday, and on weekends. Trump has more (but not necessarily better) lawyers. Bannon got the short end of the Tiki Torch.

Trump needs someone to play golf with on weekends, and with his dementia, he needs someone to remind him who he's supposed to hate at any given moment. The Nazis will keep him abreast of the latest Stormfront Hate List.

It looks like Trump is getting to keep Breitbart as well. Bannon is going to be exiled to the floating plastic trash-island in the Pacific Ocean.

12. short end of the Tiki Torch.

[Alice11111]

25. Good.

[ecstatic]

13. I think Bannon gets them. I've noticed lately that white nationalists seem to be getting more and

more frustrated with Trump over the border wall, DACA, and amnesty concerns. At least on Twitter.

[iluvtennis]

14. Wow, that's a good one. thanks for sharing

[SunSeeker]

15. Trump, apparently.

Everyone is abandoning Bannon now that the Mercers cut off his money spigot and he no longer has access to Trump.

[lark]

16. They split them and KKK.

Bannon gets the Nazis and drumpf (in honor of his KKK loving dad) gets the white knights.

[Alice11111]

24. LOL

[StarzGuy]

17. Ha Ha!

[Gothmog]

19. I love this twet-I think that trump is getting the nazis

[Nitram]

21. Trump gets them on the weekend.

[Alice11111]

23. Very clever tweet. Thx. Looks like they may be following Trump. The cochroach survives another round

[Honeycombe8]

27. Very good! nt
