EVERYTHING is a confession.

If Obama wasn't a coward he would literally attack Iran right now, like he would dress up in a big eagle suit and run at the border fence to Iran and start punching the fence and be like "SEE TRUMP! I am doing it! I started the war before you!!!" while Iranian border guards calmly waved from behind the fence.

If I was Obama I would also write "secret nuclear bomb program" on a nerf ball and throw it over the fence and then start screaming about how I found incontrovertible evidence of Iran's nuclear bomb program while pointing at the ball.

The camera would zoom in on the nerf ball with the haphazardly written sharpie on it saying "secret nuclear bomb program" while I mumbled in triumph and the US would realize how insane it was for a brief second.

This is complete satire. The US will never realize this.

I don't know man, the nerf ball with Iranian nuclear program written on it is the kind of thing Netanyahu would do

Is that the guy who hates the thought of bringing his hostages home before every Palestinian baby is droned/missiled b/c land & god?

I would really respect Brobama if he would just let go of his entire legacy and dedicate the rest of his days just doing satirical comedy like this.

I wonder if that golfer in chief website that tracked Obama’s golf outings does the same for Trump… but if conservatives didn’t stand for hypocrisy, they wouldn’t stand for anything

So it's all Obama's fault! Again! ThAnKs ObAmA!

The projection is strong with this one.

...said the pot to the kettle...

[–] notsure@fedia.io 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

...and as this is often misinterpreted, the kettle is shiny and clean so the pot sees its own reflection distorted and blames it on the reflector...

[–] blackbelt352@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

So the earliest we have of this kind of saying is from Don Quixote where it is about deflecting hypocritical criticism from the 1600s. The shiny kettle/black pot version is more recent one gaining prominence in the late 1800s.

I guess Obama finally did it. Look at him, never giving up on his goals and finally achieving them. We can learn a thing or two from him.
