I was just passing on something I heard on Howard Stern. Who plays clips of reporters and news anchors loving up words and saying cock, balls, oval office, etc, etc on air every week. So yea it’s not a stretch for me to think this was an honest worst case gently caress up.

As I said before, maybe he’s a racist and says it all the time or maybe it was the worst possible mistake at the worst time. I don’t know anything else about it, just what I heard on Stern.

I don’t get how people still believe the Muslim terrorist from Mexico lie. If someone really wanted to come into our country, why would they arguably fly to Guatemala, walk 1500 miles from the Mexican Guatemalan border to Texas, only to head to a port of entry where there are border patrol agents. Spend weeks to months for an asylum claim to be verified before being let into the country.

Like some dude from the kingdom of Saud isn’t just going to buy a clean passport and fly in.

Reminds me when that clock kid got invited to the White House by Obama and my Father-in-Law for real thought it was a test by AQ/Isis to get someone into the White House and that Obama was dumb because he was falling for it. Was a real test of strength to not just bust out laughing at how loving dumb he was for believing that.

These idiots always think terrorism and whatever evil that exists are these convoluted plans and networks when the reality is much simpler and dumber.

I guess my question re:baby Hitler is when it becomes acceptable to kill him.

I mean obviously it's totally okay for him to starve and die or die from preventable diseases due to lack of a social safety net, but when is it okay to like shoot him or execute him.

As soon as the baby is positively identified as Hitler, killing it is the objectively right thing to do

The craziest thing about the clock kid was that I grew up with a similar suitcase full of poo poo like that to tinker with and can absolutely get why the kid thought it was neat even though it was just clock parts attached to the little suitcase thing. It's fun to rearrange poo poo and put it back together different but still working, if you're that kind of person.

Then again in my case it was the early/mid 90s and people hadn't gone full chud nor had household electronics gotten tremendously complicated so there was an abundance of electromechanical buttons that could be repurposed, you could be a little off on the voltage and it might make your LCD a little wonky but still workable etc.

They just are bigoted against the perfidious generic brown person in general, nothing about the details needs to make sense. Egypt and Mexico are fundamentally the same thing to them.

Alright, let's do this
I thought way too long about killing baby Hitler once, and it went in an odd direction. Ultimately Hitler alone wasn't solely responsible for the poo poo the Nazis did. We have to do something about Himmler, Goebbels, Mengele and all the other principal nazis too. Then there's the chaos of Weimar Germany, and how that lead to the political climate that gave birth to fascism. While we're at it we should do something about Moussolini and Stalin.

Basically killing baby Hitler doesn't fix enough. We gotta kill a whole lotta babies.

E: VVV him or Wilhelm II, which could be argued would reset WW1 (if you buy the "blank check" argument, WW1 had a lot of factors) But if you're going to kill babies, you got to go all the way.

It's to announce the latest deal offer to house democrats drafted by the hydra of pence, kushner, and mcconnell as a way to attempt to capture the news cycle away from the womens march and canceled state of the union while also attempting to shift the blame to pelosi and schumer for being unwilling to compromise.

On the bright side they could be “not accurate” in the sense that some detail is wrong and the office just wants to work in peace. Or better still they’re “not accurate” in that it’s actually more damning than the article made it out to be!

Not accurate means that the report isn't 100% perfect. It doesn't mean it's wrong per se
