Yes, [the kid who doesn’t like the pickle but keeps chewing on it](http://www.tastefullyoffensive.com/2016/11/baby-hates-pickle-but-keeps-on-eating-it.html) presumably expecting it to get better - except in this instance it’s \*\*Clothy \*\*and the pickle is attached to the GOP. NOM NOM it’s terrible but just has to get better, right? ---

Bin-Laden’s whereabouts happened to be found when Obama was President. He didn’t “get him”, the US military and intelligence agencies and apparently some local help :got him". ---

Well I for one will not celebrate Obamas cannibalism. ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Bin-Laden’s whereabouts happened to be found when Obama was President. He didn’t “get him”, the US military and intelligence agencies and apparently some local help :got him". Perhaps because Obama told them to try real hard to find him. And perhaps because he okayed the mission to go get him. Did Grant win the Civil War or did he just supervise the troops that won the war? ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Bin-Laden’s whereabouts happened to be found when Obama was President. He didn’t “get him”, the US military and intelligence agencies and apparently some local help :got him". And Pres. Obama gave full credit to the intelligence personnel and the military on their roles. He is the one that ordered the effort to find him, set the priority and took the gamble on launching the mission. ---

This does not fit with the narrative that Obama is the Antichrist, therefore history must be wrong. This is the new Trump-world; if the facts do not fit your feelings, then the facts are wrong, probably because of the evil media. It’s like the guy I saw interviewed during the election. He said he was voting for Trump because Obama did nothing to prevent 9/11, and in fact, Obama just sat in the White House doing nothing to help after 9/11. These are Trump’s post-factual voters. ---

> [@Procrustus](#): > > Did Grant win the Civil War or did he just supervise the troops that won the war? Grant did quite a bit of winning, since he was a general in the US Army during the Civil War. On edit, so did a lot of guys working for him. He planned things, he walked around and got shot at. Directed battles. Stuff like that. ---

This was 10 years ago, but still applies: > [@](#): > > First Lady, Mr. President, my name is Stephen Colbert and tonight it’s my privilege to celebrate this president. We’re not so different, he and I. We get it. We’re not brainiacs on the nerd patrol. We’re not members of the factinista. We go straight from the gut, right sir? That’s where the truth lies, right down here in the gut. Do you know you have more nerve endings in your gut than you have in your head? You can look it up. I know some of you are going to say “I did look it up, and that’s not true.” That’s 'cause you looked it up in a book. > > Next time, look it up in your gut. I did. My gut tells me that’s how our nervous system works. Every night on my show, the Colbert Report, I speak straight from the gut, OK? I give people the truth, unfiltered by rational argument. I call it the “No Fact Zone.” Fox News, I hold a copyright on that term. > > I’m a simple man with a simple mind. I hold a simple set of beliefs that I live by. Number one, I believe in America. I believe it exists. My gut tells me I live there. I feel that it extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and I strongly believe it has 50 states. And I cannot wait to see how the Washington Post spins that one tomorrow. I believe in democracy. I believe democracy is our greatest export. At least until China figures out a way to stamp it out of plastic for three cents a unit.
