Remember Milo Yiannopoulos, the At-Rightish Breitbart “journalist” who used to call Donald Trump “daddy?” He apparently wants the world to know that:
- He still exists
- He’s no longer on the Trump Train
- He’s one of the worst people to walk the face of this earth
In a recent statement to Mediaite, Milo explained that he was breaking with his former political idol over his missile attack on a Syrian airfield — but hasn’t yet given up on calling Trump “daddy.”
“This is not why people voted for Daddy,” he told Mediaite. “It’s the opposite of why people voted for him.”
Yes, who could possibly have foreseen that the guy who wants to increase our military budget by $54 billion while cutting funds for Meals on Wheels might have a hankering to use military force?
But don’t worry! Milo’s opposition to “POINTLESS FOREIGN WARS” — as he put it, in all caps, in his brief message to Mediaite — doesn’t mean he’s suddenly become a decent person. Far from it!
Here’s why Milo says he’s against intervention in Syria in particular:
I’m as troubled by violence toward innocent children as the next sociopath, but those kids are only growing up to be oppressors of women and murderers of homosexuals anyway.
So everyone in Syria who practices a certain religion deserves to be killed, even the children? Milo Y may no longer be a Trump fan, but he’s still a fascist at heart!
Where’s the Privilege Grant money, Milo?
*sniff sniff*
Also, I feel bad enough for Barron as it is, but to make him Tommen… Ouch!
I thought this debil had gone away.
@Valentine
Hell, it’s said, is a frozen place.
I think Milo got too cold and lonely without us.
He’s back!
I wouldn’t assign Bannon as Tommen. Tommen was a not-very-bright but sweet natured boy, who loved his cat. Bannon has more of a Walder Frey vibe.
Have any of you kids/bloggers ever read up on what/who funds Meals on Wheels or do you only read the headlines of leftist news orgs? Why even mention the program?
Most MoWs don’t rely on Community development block grants but on title programs, which do not fall under the discretionary funding that Trump has targeted for cuts in his budget. Plus, they rely on fundraising to keep going; which is the beauty of the program. The citizens don’t HAVE to rely totally on the government to help other people.
The Trump cuts are to the block grants, which affect a small percentage of MoW funding. People complained about this as if the world was ending. It isn’t.

@ Oogly
Respect, sincerely for saying that! While I do “love the smell of schadenfreude in the morning”, I don’t want to see my enemies driven before me. We’ve seen a lot of people on the right recently make a “misstep” and get booted from the bigot base. Some of them have characteristics which make them lesser in the eyes of that base… women, Jews, non-whites, gays. They’re running afoul of a bunch for whom hate is a guiding spiritual principle, and for whom the complete destruction of “others” is a team sport.
I don’t like Kushner, Megyn Kelly, Tomi Lahren, Milo, yeah, even Roosh, whose southwest Asian “not-quite-white”-ness will eventually wear thin with the literal nazis… I REALLY DON’T like them, and I like seeing them pushed out of relevance. I’d like better if they and all the a-holes they support were completely removed from all positions of influence. But I don’t want to see them beaten to death in an alley.
To champion these people’s destruction at the hands of their former benefactors would be to cheer the destruction of people who are members of a marginalized group who are being destroyed because they are members of that group. Distasteful as it is, I too hope they stay safe.
Yes, I know! ?
*cackles wickedly*
I think there’s a big difference between what is actually happening to these people and their being “destroyed” and “unsafe.” I hope they stay safe, too, but I am not crying over the fact that they tried to cuddle up to rattlesnakes and got bitten. I think it’s perfectly OK, and actually desirable, for them to experience negative consequences for their hateful and destructive behaviors. They tried to destroy others and pledged loyalty to white supremacists and misogynists; they found out that their white supremacist, misogynist “allies” felt no loyalty in return.
If you want to call Milo losing a book deal and a job his being “destroyed” and an undesirable result, then we are not going to agree on this one.
No sympathy for the ‘untermenschen’ who thought they could schmooze with the nazis without consequence. We tried to tell y’all. Imma just let em get fucked over, look em in the smarmy face, and go ‘now, what have we learned?’ And then laugh and dip before they answer. I’m far more worried about Bannon having something bad happen to Kushner than Bannon having something bad happen to Kushner. If the fascists hafta go after someone, I hope it’s them and not anyone worth a shit. Fuck em
What people also forget or don’t mention about Milo is class. From his voice and action he seems to be British upper class or upper middle class. I know he alleged says all the shocking things just to shock, although i think that is excuses, and je does believe. But also he proably grew up in a bubble and did not develop empathy for others. Everything seems like a game for him
But also @Kat is right, without attention, good or bad, he starts to feel emptyness inside.
Seconding Axe. Bit too busy worrying about the shit these assholes can do, to worry for them after they fall from grace.
I got other things to lose sleep over, no joke intended.
@Weird (Encouraged by the RESISTANCE!!!!) Eddie
While I do appreciate the compliment, I said that only out of common courtesy and lack of desire to see people be a victim of brutal hate crimes. Outside of torture, assault, and murder, them getting punched, glitterbombed, hate mail, insults and constant harassment, I am not going to care that they feel scared or fearful of their lives. These folk sold out their own demographics in a naive attempt to be spared of persecution. They had it coming.
Since when does Milo give a shit about the oppression of women?!
@Ellesar
When it’s convenient for him.
EDIT:
Kevin Logan uploaded a new video of Richard Spencer against antifa protesters.
Ooglyboggles – it reminds me of the comments about ‘rapefugees’ – usually made by right wing men, probably some women as well. They apparently care greatly about women when they are white and have been raped by a man who is not, but when feminists bring up spousal/ familial/ date rapes there is a 180 degree turn and it is all ‘they are lying/ trying to ruin a man’s life’ etc.
@Oogly
Can’t watch videos right now, but I absolutely need to know, does he get punched ?
@Sinkable John : Pansy Ass Pinko, Regicidal Beast-of-Burden
He gets glitterbombed and his group gets hounded the entire day, and repeatedly fails to get a taxi to help them get away.
@Ooglyboggles
Late to the party here: is “glitterbombed” an euphemism for something, or are we literally talking about carpeting peeps with glitter with the help of a propulsive force?
@Oogly
Never thought I’d see the day glitterbombing would become an Antifa tactic. This is fucking glorious.
Next time they gotta do it while riding unicorns.
Troubelle:
Its pretty literal.
@Troubelle
It’s quite literal. Bet he wishes he got punched instead.
@Troubelle – literal glitter, because it’s messy and gets everywhere (I had a summer job as a camp craft director, so I know firsthand). It’s also sparkly!
@…all y’all who answered
Welp. I know what I’m stocking up on.

Because it’s a cut to a valuable service for no good reason.
Most MoWs don’t rely on Community development block grants but on title programs, which do not fall under the discretionary funding that Trump has targeted for cuts in his budget.
Well, that’s just lovely. That makes the cuts to this and other programs a-OK then?
Plus, they rely on fundraising to keep going; which is the beauty of the program.
Time spent on fundraising is time spent not being able to provide services. But I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
The citizens don’t HAVE to rely totally on the government to help other people.
Sure, but on the other hand, a democratic government is SUPPOSED to be at the service of the citizens – unlike private philanthropists.
The Trump cuts are to the block grants, which affect a small percentage of MoW funding. People complained about this as if the world was ending. It isn’t.
Lovely to know the world is not ending because of the cuts to Meal on Wheels.

Does your “research” indicate that Meals on Wheels is the only program affected by the proposed budget cuts? If so, I strongly suggest you #DoMoreandBetterResearch
