Daily Politics: Trump hires Obama look-alike to fire, Pelosi faces backlash for pandering on Labor Day, Racist biscuits
Fauxbama
I’m going to put today’s political posts in one spot. That way it’s easier to ignore if you’re getting like me and just can’t wait for November 4 to roll around.
Donald Trump ‘hired an Obama look-alike so he could fire him on camera’
Jeff LPH 3 sends in this Telegraph article.
Donald Trump so hated Barack Obama that he hired a look-alike to sit in his office so he could “fire” him, according to claims in a new book from the president’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen.
In Disloyal, out on Tuesday, Mr Cohen alleges that his old boss was “a cheat, a liar, a fraud, a bully, a racist, a predator, a con man.”
High praise from a convicted tax cheat, campaign finance violator, and one of the rare few people to be convicted of lying to Congress.
The lawyer, 54, is currently under house arrest, having been freed from prison early during the coronavirus pandemic. He was sentenced to three years in December 2018 after pleading guilty to tax evasion and campaign finance violations – crimes he alleged were a result of covering up for Mr Trump’s “dirty deeds”.
In a photo included in the book, Mr Trump is seen seated at his desk across from the alleged “Faux-Bama”, wearing a suit with an American flag pin.
Of all the salacious stories about the president, many of them outright lies, I can actually believe this one.
Pelosi’s Labor Day tweet paying homage to ‘hard-working families’ gets panned amid salon fallout
ninja sends this Fox News report. Nancy ventured out of her ivory tower to pander on Labor Day.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who was accused by critics last week of using her platform to damage a local hair salon owner in San Francisco, was called out on Monday over a tweet she posted celebrating the “hard-working families” across the U.S. on Labor Day.
“Over generations, working people across America built the middle class and secured progress for hard-working families,” Pelosi wrote. “House Democrats are unified in our commitment to America’s working families. Happy #LaborDay!”
The tweet didn’t sit well with some commenters who pointed to her recent visit to a hair salon. Security footage obtained by Fox News, time-stamped last Monday at 3:08 p.m., showed the speaker walking through ESalonSF with wet hair and without a mask.
The Battle Over Biscuits and Gravy at the 11-Worth Cafe
The KoB, Gun Bunny, all too often winner of the coveted Weekend Open Thread First! sends us this NYT article;
In “levelheaded” Omaha, a protester was killed and, in the aftermath, people demanding an end to racial injustice set their sights on police budgets — and a diner with Robert E. Lee on the menu.
No joke. The NYT continues their unbiased reporting since the “protester” was violently attacking a business owner and ignored his warning shots. The outrage mob then set their sights on a local breakfast institution after one of their cooks (also the owner’s son) made some unwise social media posts. They discovered this restaurant has *gasp* Robert E. Lee Biscuits and Gravy on the menu *clutches pearls*.

Incoming! Two o’clock, 500 meters!
Fuk dat.
I ain’t running 500 meters in full battle ratle, Sergeant.
Getting emulsified by artillery is a poor choice. We load our troops down with too much crap.
The shit splash from the political threads calls for considerable distance.
Nasty Piglosi wouldn’t know what a “middle-class, hard-working family” is if it jumped up and smashed in her Botox-plasticized face…
So… lemme get this straight, the “Racist in Chief” hired a qualified guy to work for him, and that guy had African heritage?
Oh. My. G-d.
DJT might just be the worst at being racist-racist, like ever.
The news companies are planking us, right? This is just an elaborate ruse, please?!
^pranking.
It liked it that time…
I blame the un-R.E.L. brisket and gravy I got this morn from the VA Canteen. My GI tract is twisted up and burnin’ like Atlanta.
The north should stop appropriating Southern culture. (Capitalization intentional)
Roh, you know that them Yankees cannot, no matter how many times they read St. Paula of Deen’s recipes, make Southern cuisine fit to eat. Their ancestors don’t know how to help them by whispering in their ears.
Some Texas es-pats are currently in CT where someone advertising themselves as TexMex is opening an eatery. I shudder to think what that stuff will taste like.
GB, you know it Brother! It seems my fellow Nutmeggers don’t know what lard is and I’ve tasted cedar shingles with more flavor than what they call chorizo.
If you’re looking for bagels, kielbasa, pierogis, Italian or Greek food, there’s that.
See that’s the thing about us Southerners Roh-Dog. We can make all of that AND the really good stuff. And I’ll just drop this right here too, for when you FINALLY GTFO of the PDRofCT…W-S-B. (Welcome South Brother)
Between the Copperheads, Carpetbaggers and Scalawags, where is Gnrl Sherman now that Atlanta needs him. Burn…Baby…Burn! Even the Varsity isn’t the same anymore. And if you’ve never seen Stone Mountain, you better hurry. That carving is on their attack list. Even Coca Cola (or as we say CoCola), a company/product invented by a Confederate Soldier, has offered to pay for the blasting off of that.
“…all too often winner…” ?!daHell??!?!!! EARNED NEVER GIVEN! The Coveted TAH Friday Weekend Open Thread FIRST! Should not be any surprise that a lowly little POG/REMF Gun Bunny, a Proud Member of the Artillery…The King of Battle…The Winner of Wars, IS on the high ground and HAS the secure Fire Base for all of the miscreanted d’weeds and weedettes to stop by for grits and groceries along with adult beverages, plus the House Wine of Sweet Iced Tea.
Pardon the delay on the comment. His Sugar Bug, Daddy’s Darling Dumplin’ Daughter…AKA Papa’s Precious Punkin had called to check on him. We had us a nice long 2+ hour chat. She couldn’t see our beloved Dawgs play this weekend because of the ChiCom Flu, but she did watch Army Go and Navy get BEAT. (SiL is a former Bubble Head)
And, Oh…btw…oblowme AND pigalousy needs to be in prison, awaiting hanging, for treasonous sedition.
“as we say CoCola)”
Depends whereabouts you are from. Some pronounce it “Are-uh See”
And a moon pie. Can’t have an Are-uh See unless you have a moon pie too.
CoColas go with a bag of Tom’s dry roasted, salted peanuts dropped in it. ‘specially the originals in the 6oz bottle, fresh from the Red Ice Cold CoCola Machine…and pop corn.
As far as soda goes, RC is my personal favorite. Nothing beats an ice cold RC, except for a nice frosty Yuengling!
Same here Pappy. I pretty much gave up on CCE in ’96 when the Olympics were coming to the ATL. That’s when Corporate CCE (Coca Cola Enterprises) FIRST offered to blast the carving off of the Mountain. When the SCV threatened to line up 150 cannon, hub to hub and line up 35K troops they backed off a bit. They came back with a proposal to provide a tarp large enough to cover it. That didn’t fly either.
Sad.
I used to work for an independent bottler back in the day and CCE bought them out.
Got rid of everyone that had 15+ years. Back in the early 90’s.
Cheerwine is good.
Thanks for the hearty Welcoming to the Promised, Earned Not Given, Land, FA. Unassing this place for the Greenest of Pastures on this Earth is near top o’ the list, in that you can be certain.
I’ve watched the ATL air traffic from The Mountain of Stone once or twice. What a hike, what a view!
If the Ladies and Gents need a defensive force to beat back the scourge of eraseism, I know a guy… can’t say n e mo.
2 hours on the fone?! Heck, that’s love right there! May a face-to be along shortly, I’ve read good things come to good people.
Day’s done, time for rest.
See you hooligans ‘morrow!
Admittedly this is not Pizzaville, but we are home to the Kings of B B Q. If the meals you eat are not makin’ your tongue slap your forehead, then you’ve never had any really good food. I-65 runs South to the good stuff I’m talkin’ bout.
Knowin’ Yankees never ever heard of slaw on their barbeque (or however they spell it). I’m still gonna guess Ex-PH2 has a great banana pudding recipe.
The less educated don’t know.
Hell, I’ve had bones n brisket bathed in; dry rub, mustard, molasses, vinegar and all that!
Smoked, sheeet! I’m a fan of them all; oak, hickory, applewood, pecan, shout out to Texas mesquite for real, on occasion I heared those tragger pellet grills may work. I know it’s sacrilege to some, but if it’s good cooking, me and my tasted buds will over look the transgression.
Still, nothing better than pork pulled on a bulkie or potato roll, Carolina mustard with slaw and some pickles, nice IPA to warsh ‘er down.
That corn bread better come as a side, no charge! Ya’herd
Damn! This is a great thread.
The perfect video.
Who else saw the splice of the AntiFa Portland protester and Tim Robbin’s shoes on fire dance from Nothing To Lose? #WhenLifeImitatesArt
I call that dance “The Flaming Dumbshit Polka”!
“Hold still, dammit! My marshmallow isn’t done!”.

“MY BISCUITS IS BURNIN’!
MY BISCUITS IS BURNIN’!”
When we went through firefighting training we discussed the various classes of fires.
Alpha: a burning solid that leaves an ash.
Bravo: Burning liquids such as oil or gasoline.
Charlie: Electrical fires
Delta: Oxidizing metals.
The instructor then asked what class a burning person would be.
Answer? A Screaming Alpha
The largest challenge in extinguishing a screaming Alpha?
You have to catch them first.
The proper answer to extinguishing a screaming Alpha… Shotgun (to extinguish the screaming), followed by solid stream.
If it’s a burning protestor, wouldn’t it be a screaming beta?
Awwwwwww! You beat me to it!
You know the best pain relief for the sting of a jelly fish (when diving) is urinating directly on the spot where the sting is located. Who’s to say taking a leak on a fired up protester would not make him/her feel better? Even better yet, taking a number five (that’s two two’s and a one) might even be better!
Racist biscuits, I have now heard it all.
If the food is good, I don’t care where it comes from (country, culture) or what it’s called.
Attacking a place because they named a biscuit Robert E. Lee is a new level of stupid. I won’t say they can’t get any more dumb because I swear they take that as a challenge.
This ought to ruffle some feathers: Trump nominated for Nobel Peace Prize.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-nominated-for-nobel-peace-prize-by-norwegian-official
Then again, with Arafat and Obama as awardees, perhaps turning this “peace” prize down is prudent.
Did you notice that Fox News is the only news outlet to announce that Trump was nominated. I guess ABC, MSNBC, and CBS isn’t as “Fair and Balanced” as I thought.
Damn, and I thought winning a Nobel Peace Prize was as big a deal as Sheldon Cooper made it out to be…
Well, his odds of -that- winning are … thin.
But it’s a booby prize nowadays, so “meh”.
Racist Biscuit?
Is that like Ricochet Biscuit?
If you believe in the stupid of Racism, you go hungry.
Bow bow bow….
