Just about a week since you made a dumb typo of your own, tried to deny it, and then had to blame it on your phone. Does your memory fail within a single week?

I didn’t try to deny it. The bit about the phone was a joke, duh.

Posters start with the typo excuse, move on to auto-correct, and then blame the little keypads on their phones. This happens almost daily on this message board.

Don’t forget when he assumed **Broomstick’s** dad was an atheist and fled rather than admit being wrong.

Confusion say: Man without sense of humor should not attempt joke.

I like it. The _soylent green_ solution. Personally, I’d airdrop them into North Korea, or northern Greenland.

Just look at a recent picture of Obama with his gray hair, and think back to the dynamic, dark-haired guy we saw on the campaign trail.

He’s obviously aged quite a bit in that office (and dealing with that Congress), and deserves his retirement. Or at least a couple years off, before we appoint him to the Supreme Court.

LOL I’ve heard that one for the past 8 years.

How long does your cousin actually think he’d be President and not thrown in a looney bin after he tried that? If he actually thought it out, when you think about it, you’d need the Supreme Court and both Houses of Congress to sign off on abolishing the Constitution and replacing it with the Koran. Well, actually, you’d need a Constitutional Convention in like 2/3 the states or something like that . . . . .

And even if THAT happened, all this wouldn’t be without a colossal civil war or military takeover to oust all three branches of the government.

Your cousins fantasy doesn’t even involve a logical conclusion, its absolutely lunacy. I don’t get the people.

Well, obviously, he’s going to let the states opposed to it secede.

So basically, he’ll rule Washington, D.C., Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Palmyra Atoll. Possibly he’ll add a host of unincorporated, unorganized territories. He’ll be UNSTOPPABLE!

I don’t think auto-correct can help you, D’Aconia. The necessary correction will require a psychologist.

Included in the unincorporated, unorganized territories. There are 11 of them, and I didn’t feel like typing them all out.

My plan come January 21st, 2017 is to go back through all the whack job claims and ‘predictions’ and the like about what Obama would do as President, list them and what actually happened, then post that list **every fucking place I can**.

Along with some choice bible verses about false prophecy and slander.

If I win the lottery between now and then, I’ll pay to post it as an ad on every goddamned right wing site I can buy ad space on, at least until they demand it be removed. 😃
