    1. Let's talk about twitter ethics a little bit. I tweeted out some comments saying we should have a balanced view of George H. W. Bush, looking at both the good & the bad. This conservative aptly named @comfortablysmug tweets out "Minions...SWARM!!!"pic.twitter.com/Fx175p4gMv

        2. @comfortablysmug clearly knew his followers well, because the command of "Minions...SWARM!!!" immediately let to my mentions filled with responses from people who never read me making witty comments like this.pic.twitter.com/9dmM8VPQDn

        3. All of which leaves me with a few questions. Is @comfortablysmug proud that his followers are minions? Are they proud to be minions?

        With every pukey verbose tweet thread about him, you only make @ComfortablySmug stronger. We answer his call because his cause is just. We will have the last laugh when President Bobcat comes into power.

        Emperor Bobcat will come for him just as he will all humankind. @ComfortablySmug will continue to gain favor from the future emperor and we can only hope he allows us to be the keeper of the other humans working in the mines.pic.twitter.com/ErUgZUjjs0

        He’s more of an agent of chaos than a conservative, but I suppose his shtick is funnier from the outside.

        I can't get over the depths of truth in the "owning the libs" meme.
