Here's one where the graphic design is much more professional and nice-looking. But still, the things that stand out as scandals to the conservative lizard brain are just super ****ing weird.

57 STATES!!!!!!!!

Obama said 57 states in 2008. Two thousand and eight. And yet people still remember that.

**** going after Hillary when Trump can try to jail OBAMA! The wiretapping thing didn't catch on like he wanted. Maybe this will work better. He and Sessions are probably besides themselves wondering why it's so damn hard to get a black man arrested.

someone fill me in on the Fast And Furious scandal please, it sounds fun

If he really wants to please his base, I think he'll look in that direction. I wouldn't be surprised if he finds some compromising illegal material on Obama's computer at some point, Russians have been known to take people down that way before (child porn).

This thread is scary as ****. Basically, he applies Theory of Mind to Trump...in that he really has no inner mind.

Man that poor insurance industry. Damn you Obama you cruel heartless bastard.

Notice how literally every single one of these shows Obama a) as dark as possible and b) as menacing as possible? Just lights up the old amygdala like a christmas tree. SCARY BLACK MAN

Compare to like the liberal version of these which show Trump as a bumbling buffoon.

What's to forget? Hannity has already convinced most of them there's nothing to worry about. Daddy has everything in control.

Rick Perlstein, author of Nixonland, describes the difference between Watergate and now. Watergate didn't have a wholly craven Republican Party

Quote:
The cult of “bipartisanship” in Washington—Tip and Dutch tippling whiskey when the workday is through, and all that—is usually ridiculous. But it was not conjured out of thin air. What I learned, studying Watergate, is that it was once something real, and precious. Nixon’s diehard defenders in the party were looked upon as clowns. Rep. Earl Landgrebe of Indiana went on the Today show on August 8, 1974, and said, “I’m sticking with my president even if he and I have to be carried out of this building and shot.” Incredulous, the NBC interviewer asked him about the just-revealed smoking gun tape, which demonstrated that Nixon had been lying about his participation in the coverup for almost twenty-six months: this was a fact. “Don’t confuse me with the facts,” Landgrebe infamously retorted. Hours later, Nixon resigned; and those words became the only thing for which anyone remembers Langrebe.

Nowadays, they would fit him for a position in the Republican leadership.

Do they eat it up like the popcorn you got when you were looking into the ties Hillary has to child sex trafficking that you learned from ****ing 4chan posts about email leaks?

Still waiting on the update with that. Did your little Nazi bestie ToothSayer getting exiled from ChezFront interfere with the investigation?

Starting in 2006, ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms) started intentionally and haphazardly letting guns across the border into Mexico hoping to track them to higher-up targets; this plan failed spectacularly and led to ~no major arrests I believe. Guns that ATF allowed across the border started showing up at crime scenes on both sides of the border, and in one noteworthy incident one of those guns was used to kill a Border Patrol officer. You may note that Obama became President in 2009, but facts don't matter, it's his scandal.

And thus the typical situation. Out in real life and you are talking politics with somebody, and they start coming out of the blue with all of this really weird stuff about how Hillary sold uranium to Russia and she has pizza palaces of child sex slaves and Obama said 57 states because there are 57 Islamic states and it's like how do you respond to all that in real time? And then you tell them it's fake news and they are just like classic liberals, you guys can never accept the truth.

It is also important to note that the guns had tracking devices in them and the idea was that the ATF would then be able to follow the gun's path as it moved through the underworld.

You might ask yourself two things:

1) Wouldn't the batteries eventually die on the tracking devices?

and

2) Doesn't firearm maintenance require taking the gun apart on a semiregular basis, likely causing the device to be found?

The answer to both questions is "yes" lol it was a terrible idea.


But the right wing plot, very specifically, what makes it a scandal, is that they believed the Phoenix office of the ATF intentionally seeded a handful of guns into Mexico to somehow create a false flag that would allow Obama to take away everyone's guns.

Trump invites russians to WH, bans US media, allows russian media (safe to assume white house is completely bugged now), and PEOPLE ARE OKAY WITH THIS???
