The Obamagood Thread

[BotanyBoy]

Since it's a good thing are we pretending that Obama had nothing to do with the Feds moving away from private prisons?

No that's like what the 5th or 6th good thing he's done and he deserves credit for it.

Now if he could just wave his pen and end the war on drugs and fire up the war on murder or human trafficking like he absolutely has authority to do that would be great.

I'm betting he picks the money over minority communities on that one though.

 

[RjThoughts]

It's not wishful thinking, it's what you do here regularly.

You're a blindly partisan democrat. It's ok, there are MILLIONS of you.

Without evidence you're just Breitbarting and projecting your fears. Or is it the chemicals you inhale when you spray the hippie lettuce?

 

[RjThoughts]

And yes, I know it's baseless, but, so has your entire attempt to portray me as a zealous Democrat.

No I'm offering my opinion based on my observation of you posting habits. ALLLLLLLWAYS defend (D), (D) is always good, always right, never bad, never wrong.

I don't spray the hippie lettuce with anything but compost tea.

And yes, I know it's baseless, but, so has your entire attempt to portray me as a zealous Democrat.

LOL the Seans and UD are probably the only bigger (D)ie hard (D)'s on lit.

If he wants to get assassintated he'd end the war on drugs. I think he likes not being shot. I'm shocked he's talking about commuting some sentences. Motherfucker must have gotten over his oxygen addiction.

As for the war on murder now sure how to even do such a thing even in a joking way.

Same way you do the war on drugs, you pointlessly throw money at it.

Except in reality they are not comparable. I don't think the price is worth the goal of the war on drugs. But keeping drugs out of an area is at least possible.

Keeping people from murdering people. . .well given what we know about murder stats a damn good start would be outlawing dating, sex and marriage. But aside from that there isn't much that all murders have in common to attack.

As you've noted the government does a fairly good job of keeping weapons it really doesn't want on the streets off the streets. So it's not like the government can't if you give them a job that is possible.

If we're gonna keep throwing good money after bad at a cause I'd just regroup on the war on poverty.

Sure it is, you're funding the LEO/Prison guard unions and protecting big pharmas market.

That's what the war on drugs is REALLY about.

I don't think the price is worth the goal of the war on drugs. But keeping drugs out of an area is at least possible.

No it's not, and no it's not.

The most secure super max on earth can't keep drugs out, neither can the military, any school or department of the US government from the oval office down to the county sheriffs deputy.

The war on drugs has been a 100% complete fucking failure in every one of it's stated goals of controlling drugs and their use.

If we're gonna keep throwing good money after bad at a cause I'd just regroup on the war on poverty.

I'd rather we just quit handing entire industries/markets to the elites and let everyone who meets environmental/people safety regs participate in the paper chase.

Why are liquor licences so restricted and limited? Why did CA give the entire pot industry to 2 companies? Why are only 8 people in the state allowed to have a composting licence? Why are only 6 people allowed to be aquaponic farmers? Why is the LA sheriffs department shooting people for sharing food with homeless folks? SWAT teaming lemonade stands?

Because California Democrats love the elites and fucking HATE poor people...that's why.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Because those places at the end of the day don't care if drugs get in. The military doesn't even generally have the means to do much more than general law enforcement to begin with.

An end to private prisons could be a huge blow at least to the PG Unions. Federalize their asses. Shit just rotate military through on a regular basis and call it a goddamn day.

And I'm sure Super Max prisons actually do keep drugs out btw. I'd love to see stats on that though. It might be amusing.

The war on drugs has been a 100% failure is an assertion. Somehow I doubt it's even remotely true. We can look at tobacco use as an example of something that remained legal and state that sufficient public pressure backed by government works fairly well. We can look at other trends as well.

I'm happy to not hand industries to the elite. Let them buy them fair and square. At least then the elite with the most money wins and keeps winning without anybody else even getting a shot.

Liquor licenses are absurdly easy to get btw. I know enough people with those to know you're just making that up.

I still can't find people getting law enforcement involved with simple food shares and I've spent hours googling. The closest I can find is people doing some really shady shit that was going to get people sick or worse.

When did we start talking California though?

 

[BotanyBoy]

Then no places cares because the shit is absolutely prolific.

NatGeo shows drug busts going on in max slammers all over the country going on every fuckin' week.

Maybe they are just making it all up.

The war on drugs has been a 100% failure is an assertion. Somehow I doubt it's even remotely true. We can look at tobacco use as an example of something that remained legal and state that sufficient public pressure backed by government works fairly well.

No it's been a failure all around.

And tobacco was never part of the war on drugs, it's fallen to the wayside without the government throwing millions of people in prison.

Amazing isn't it!

Now vapes show up and they are talking about regulating them like ciggs...LOL fucking control freak morons can't wait to kill one of the greatest anti cigg/tobacco techs ever created. You would think (D)s were working for Marlboro.

I'm happy to not hand industries to the elite.

Yet you're a staunch democrat in favor of strict regulations that do exactly that.

Let them buy them fair and square. At least then the elite with the most money wins and keeps winning without anybody else even getting a shot.

The elites only get to keep winning because they send SWAT teams after the competition. The elites are what they are today because the government protects them.

The two billionaires California just handed the MMJ industry to? Yea they couldn't be the billionaires that they are without that regulation that serves no purpose except to make sure they get total control and the lions share of the money.

Liquor licenses are absurdly easy to get btw. I know enough people with those to know you're just making that up.

Really? My neighbor had to pay 480,000 dollars (not including legal fees) for hers and it took her almost two years to get it. And that's apparently considered fast and cheap. LOL

When I was in SF they flat out said no, only x amount of licences were out and the only way to get one was to buy from someone who has one because the city just wasn't going to issue more. Million + for a licence.

Maybe L.A. is different but I seriously doubt all that you need is a few hundred bucks, a lease in the proper zoning and a fire chief/health inspectors siggy. And it sure as fuck ain't gonna be cheap.

Did I move to the wrong end of the state?

Can I open a club in LA legally by the end of the month for just a few thousand bucks???

Did LA change it's mind and decide to not allow SUPER limited cannabis farming/dispensary licences for rich cool kids only??? Are they affordable and infinitely available to anyone who qualifies now or something?

Because I'm pretty sure that's not how California Dems run shit....they seem to love super restricted access to anything remotely lucrative, cool/rich people only and fuck everyone else.

you need to spend less time watching tv

The Night That Obama and Hillary Founded ISIS

By Liz Meriwether

It was late one night in the White House when Obama first came up with the idea for ISIS. He hadn’t been sleeping well. Michelle told him to take some deep breaths, have some hot milk, and rewatch Princess Bride, but he’d made it all the way to the Billy Crystal scene, and he was out of milk, and Michelle had started snoring. The snoring was loud and nasty and kind of wet-sounding, like a broken boat was giving birth to another boat. He had to get out of there.

First, he headed down to the Oval Office and tried to sleep on the couch, but it wasn’t long enough for his legs, and it smelled like generals’ butts. For a long time, he just wandered around the West Wing alone. He was sad and tired and had the nervous feeling that he was doing something he shouldn’t. He peeked into people’s desk drawers and found pictures of cats and dogs and babies. He was thinking about stealing a Kind bar off one of his interns’ desks, when suddenly a word appeared to him: ISIS. He grabbed a Post-It note and wrote it down. What was it? What did it mean?

It wasn’t until months later, at Coachella, that the idea started to take shape. Obama loved electronic music — the beats, the lights, the DJs, the wonderful fans — and every year, for just one day, the Secret Service allowed him to go to the music festival. They would hang back, and he would wear sunglasses, a flower crown, a neon tank top, and a tight European-style bathing suit and just dance. The people who did recognize him were too drunk and high to convince anyone of what they’d seen. (“Hey, bro, it’s the president!” “Yeah, bro!”) The president would block it all out and surrender to the thumping, sick beat. He had done a tiny bit of molly with a French Canadian woman named Bonjour when the word “ISIS” came back to him. Ever since he was a little boy, he had wanted to start an international terrorist organization of his own. He’d just never had the right idea. People had been starting terrorist groups for years, and he knew that if he wanted to break into the market, he needed some big new shtick. Wait. Of course. He went into his wallet and dug out the crumpled Post-It note. Yes. He would be the first American president to start an international terrorist organization, and it would be called ISIS. Bonjour was naked now, trying to bend a glow stick around one of her breasts. He gave her his flower crown, got in an Uber, and drove straight back to Washington. By the time he got home, he had a plan.

At first it was difficult to get people to believe he wasn’t kidding. “I want to be the founder of a new terrorist group,” he’d tell them. They’d laugh and say something like, “Hey, Mr. President, please don’t ever say that again publicly!” Obama felt like one of the characters trying to start a luxury denim business on the HBO show How to Make It in America. Then, finally, he decided the only person who could really help him was Hillary.


They were down in the kitchen one night eating Popsicles and staring into each other’s eyes when he asked if he could tell her a secret. Hillary laughed and said, “Is it about how you’re really a terrorist?” He looked at her and said, “Yes, actually.” She stopped eating her Popsicle. “Donald Trump was right about you?” He nodded. “About everything.”

He explained that he had actually been born in Kenya in 1919, and that he was 97 years old. He’d made an American birth certificate out of simple graph paper and aged it with tea bags. (“Honestly, it took me, like, 20 minutes.”) He explained that his parents told him from an early age that he should grow up to become the president of the United States so that he could eventually destroy the country from the inside.

“Isn’t that the plot of the first season of Homeland?” Hillary asked. Obama nodded. “Kind of. Also a little bit of The Americans.”

No one had come close to guessing his secret, until Donald Trump. He didn’t know what had given it away. He’d been so careful. Had Donald Trump figured out the secret messages he was sending through his Portuguese water dog, Bo? “Wait, what?” Hillary asked. She was starting to freak out. Obama explained that Bo was actually a supercomputer programmed to bark out messages in Morse code to terrorist organizations around the world, and he thought there was a chance that Donald Trump had seen that Bo’s eyes were really tiny LED screens. “Did you know that when Bo barks,” Obama said, “he’s just repeating the word dog over and over again in a robot voice?”

Hillary was quiet for a long time. She had stopped eating her Popsicle, and the whole thing had just melted away. Now her fingers were stuck together, and it looked like she had one weird fish-hand. When she finally spoke, it was almost a whisper. “You’re a 97-year-old Kenyan Muslim man who was sent here by your ancestors to destroy America?” Obama nodded. Hillary made a strange sound and cried out, “I feel like I’m short-circuiting!” Obama did his best to comfort her. “Bo does that sometimes. Then he’ll go outside and poop out a printer cartridge.”

the problem with you and the obama kind ... you want everything for free. YOU are not willing to do the work necessary to be successful

giving you and your kind money, has the same end result when someone wins the lottery. 90% of lottery winners go bankrupt!

why are you and your mind morally and mentally bankrupt? What would you do, to prevent going bankrupt?

I am willing to do any work. You are also willing, but unable to think of what it might be, which is why you post the same crap ad nauseum.

Why am I? I am not. What would I do? The same things you should have to prevent being mentally & socially bankrupt.

 

[Hard_Rom]

How many times has a Trump organization gone bankrupt? How many employees have lost good jobs and faced financial hardship? The welfare loving Obama administration will try help you. A Trump administration will just bankrupt the nation so no one, even the truly needy, can be helped.

You wanna be conservative, fine! But there is a fine line between being conservative and being a callous unthinking asshole.

Read a headline online a few hours back that said his would be First Lady is suing some news sources, using the exact same lawyer that helped "Hulk Hogan" bankrupt Gawker. (Headline said she was using "Hulk's lawyer", so I had to read the story to make sure Trump wasn't hiring someone from a Marvel comic.)

Why are liquor licences so restricted and limited?

Why did CA give the entire pot industry to 2 companies?

Why are only 8 people in the state allowed to have a composting licence?

Why are only 6 people allowed to be aquaponic farmers?

Wow, this is all fantastic bullshit! You're complaining about shit you literally know nothing about.

1. Liquor licences are at the county level. You can literally go to a meeting in your county and petition for a license. Just for fun I picked Riverside county to see if the Democrats run the place and it turns out they don't. There are 2 Rs and 1 D in the state senate for Riverside and 5 Rs in the state house and 2 Ds in the state house.

2. We've been over this and that proposition got voted down. So your information is both old and wrong. If you're referring to the medical marijuana I can think of Weedmaps but I wouldn't really call them "evil".

3. You can apply for a composting license online. I could find no reference to "only 8". According to one person who's got a clue there are currently 130+ large commercial facilities for composting.

4. Again nothing only there being only 6. If you want to sell fish or have some sort of aquaculture facility you can apply for a license online. Again this is just for commercial stuff.

Why do you just pull stuff out of your ass? Is it because I've ruined it so many times that things just fall out?

 

[NeverEndingMe]
