Lorem ipsum, and all that!

Top Comments recognizes the previous day's Top Mojo and strives to promote each day's outstanding comments through nominations made by Kossacks like you. Please send comments (before 9:30pm ET) by email to topcomments@gmail.com or by our KosMail message board.
As I mentioned in my short Top Comments diary Friday, we are running a bit short-staffed in Top Comments these days. Tomorrow is my regular night so I hope to write something for that one, but tonight, getting the comments, the Top Mojo and Top Pictures up is about all I am going to manage. Also, my workday begins very early (east coast time zone), so my time ‘hosting’ may not be long.
In the meantime, we appreciate your visit, your company, your contributions and your passion!
On to tonight’s comments!
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.
Note: Especially during this passionate primary season, please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments? Contact brillig.
From Asterkitty:
I am submitting this awesome comment from chaperonnoir in True Blue Majority's diary on the power of ridicule. (Editor’s note: Cali Scribe get credit for an assist on this submission! Thank you, Asterkitty and Cali Scribe! And chaperonnoir and True Blue Majority!)
Highlighted by Observerinvancouver:
Is this comment by DaveinBremerton about rural voters and the incoming Trump dynasty, with opportunities it presents us. (And please read Observerinvancouver’s thoughtful caveat!)
Is this frustrated comment by peckish on Democratic failures to make Republicans OWN their political and economic failures.
Highlighted by brightfuture:
Is this analytical comment from Urizen on the role of white privilege (and its miserable artifacts) in the election.
From BeninSC:
I am recommending this comment by Earthquakeweather simply because it led me to a marvelous turn of phrase, not found in the comment threads, no, but, rather, by Hunter, in his spectacular diary on Trump’s pre-inaugural failings, with MANY such turns of phrase! Do not miss that diary! (Angela Marx seconds my nomination! Or firsts it, more like!)
I also really appreciated the first two comments in this thread between Darth Stateworker and kovie (Darth’s comment, kovie’s comment) about Trump’s SNL whine, and the general lack of humor in conservatives.
This comment, by StarbucksGirl51, describes a phone encounter between her DH and an NRA phone-banker. What a challenge that would represent!
This comment exchange (please start with this comment, by TJoz, and read replies by Beelzebabe and alx9090) provides great backdrop for gloriasb’s rec-list diary about a nasty encounter with a cowardly Trump supporter after a letter to the editor of a local newspaper.
Top Mojo ala mik!
For Saturday, November 19, 2016, first comments and tip jars excluded. Thank you mik for the mojo magic! For those of you interested in How Top Mojo Works, please see his diary on the subject.
