Board 8 > Politics Containment Topic 187: On a Motherloving Cop

(+) Yeah! (+)

If he had immediately said "Bin Laden" followed by immediately saying "Barack" I would have basically thought nothing of this, associations like this can be weird and you don't have a lot of time to filter out stupid ones

It's the pauses that both make me think he sucks at this game show and ALSO that he might watch too much fox news

His real name is BARRY SOETORO duh

the best part is Tim Meadow's looking up after the guy says bin Laden

Sometimes people say absurd stuff in high-pressure situations

I was once in a movie quiz and got asked who played Indiana Jones' dad, knew in my brain the answer was Connery but my mouth said Steven Spielberg.

One of the most embarrassing moments of my life

Point being, I don't think he's some fox nutcase, he just cracked under pressure.
---

I really don't even think he cracked only that he was over thinking the prompt. Probably was trying to think of something that related to Obama's presidency which Bin Laden being killed was a big deal, and then realized the obvious clue of Barrack afterwards.

But this seems like a helluva stretch

You think it's more likely he was trying to call the Obama's related to Bin Laden rather than referencing that Bin Laden died during Obama's term. Ok then.

Uh, no, the stronger likelihood is that he associates the name "Obama" with muslims, not either of those things

Although the more I think about it the more I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt on the "listens too much to fox news thing", he might just be a Randy Marsh on Wheel of Fortune here

Who knows what he was thinking, but "Hmm I better think of things that happened during Barack Obama's presidency" is a hilariously huge stretch

Well tbh all of you have heard of the Obama/Bin Laden "link"

It's not out of the realms of possibility that you guys would do the same thing

People do and say dumb things

I'm at least glad to fill up many posts with something fun

Apologies if I somehow missed it, but wow Unite the Right was a big flop.

Not just a flop, but a totally nonviolent flop according to every report I can find.

Sure, the nazis themselves are obviously going to stay quiet when outnumbered over 200 to 1, but the fact that the counter-protesters didn't get agitated or instigated into violence is a big win.

The thunderstorm in DC yesterday probably helped.

"Fine people on both sides."

That being said, the fact that the nazis got a goddamn escort is ridiculous.

To quote another internet comment I read somewhere, cops don't arrest their co-workers even when they're off duty.

Peter Strzok has been fired from the FBI directly by deputy director David Bowdich despite the fact that the normal disciplinary office had concluded that he should only be suspended for 60 days and demoted:

Another disgusting politically motivated firing based not on any actual evidence of wrongdoing but just having a negative opinion of Donald Trump (just like McCabe). There's a pretty clear signal being sent that if you're a government employee who tries to hold Trump accountable for his wrongdoing you're going to be punished professionally.

So apparently a GOP candidate in Florida lied about having a degree from Miami of Ohio. Local news ran a story on it only for her to post a photo of her with her degree. News removed the story only for the University to come out saying that the degree in the photo isn't real and she attended but never graduated from Miami of Ohio.

Yeah, this isn't the pre internet era, people check those kinds of things sometimes.

Don't worry. She called it "fake news" when asked about it

So I'm sure she'll win

Miami is a shit school, anyway. That's like bragging about taking a dump.

JUST IN: As America's kids head back to school, federal documents show Homeland Security is planning to deal with school shootings..by teaching high school kids how to treat serious wounds and stop the bleeding.

While I will not argue that that isn't valuable knowledge to have, that isn't even treating the symptoms. That's giving someone a mop to clean up an industrial accident instead of putting safeties in place to prevent it.

.@MarkBurnettTV called to say that there are NO TAPES of the Apprentice where I used such a terrible and disgusting word as attributed by Wacky and Deranged Omarosa. I dont have that word in my vocabulary, and never have. She made it up. Look at her MANY recent quotes saying....

....such wonderful and powerful things about me - a true Champion of Civil Rights - until she got fired. Omarosa had Zero credibility with the Media (they didnt want interviews) when she worked in the White House. Now that she says bad about me, they will talk to her. Fake News!

Wait, why would you need someone to tell you that no tapes (or NO TAPES) exist of something you never did. If you never did it, logically speaking, no tapes (or NO TAPES) would exist.

---

The guy told him no tapes exist, and Trump is saying he'd never use the word anyway. It's two separate denials

But the point only has to do with the first denial

Why would somebody have to tell you there are no tapes to begin with?

Lets be honest though

If there is a tape, his supporters wont care

The dude couldn't pronounce Bhutan, Namibia, or Nepal correctly. No way he didn't say something at least uncomfortably close to an offensive word when there was the dead soldier-controversy in Niger.

They were all in on it, clear Hillary Clinton and FRAME Donald Trump for things he didnt do. Gregg Jarrett on @foxandfriends If we had a real Attorney General, this Witch Hunt would never have been started! Looking at the wrong people.

If we had a real Attorney General lolllll

So I rarely do podcasts, but I listened to Slow Burn recently and it's legit. They covered a ton of the Watergate era and it was interesting to see how much of Nixon's fall had similarities with Donald's current struggles -- particularly with his true believer-type of fans.

Slow Burn has just begun their project on White Water with Bill Clinton too, pretty excited about that.
