OBAMA’S BARRAGE OF COMPLETE SENTENCES SEEN AS BRUTAL ATTACK ON TRUMP
By Andy Borowitz April 24, 2017
borowitz-obama-complete-sentences
(The Borowitz Report)—
In an appearance at the University of Chicago on Monday, former President Barack Obama unloaded a relentless barrage of complete sentences in what was widely seen as a brutal attack on his successor, Donald Trump.
Appearing at his first public event since leaving office, Obama fired off a punishing fusillade of grammatically correct sentences, the likes of which the American people have not heard from the White House since he departed.
“He totally restricted his speech to complete sentences,” Tracy Klugian, a student at the event, said. “It was the most vicious takedown of Trump I’d ever seen.”
“About five or six sentences in, I noticed that all of his sentences had both nouns and verbs in them,” Carol Foyler, another student, said. “I couldn’t believe he was going after Trump like that.”
Obama’s blistering deployment of complete sentences clearly got under the skin of their intended target, who, moments after the event, responded with an angry tweet: “Obama bad (or sick) guy. Failing. Sad!”

I like some aspects of the plan and think other parts of it need work. The inheritance tax, for instance, is pretty ridiculous and doesn't make much sense anyway.

Right!?
No, as in the inheritance tax never made much sense to begin with. Getting rid of it is something only people with nothing to pass on to their kids would whine about.

How many yachts do they need to own?
Then we need a better tax code in general so that the wealthy will use what they have. If you try to pass on even just 1 million dollars you pay $345,800 of that. And there's no good reason for that when someone in that family is already paying heavy taxes year after year at that level.

At the end of the day, we need a country where people of all income levels should want to live and feel that its fair. If you want to reduce the disparity, then support a smarter tax code that provides incentives for all types of income brackets.

...or just continue to pray one day for Karl Marx to come down in a heavenly chariot and destroy the capitalist swine.

Ant ******* Trump's and the GOP's dicks once again.

I seriously despise people with your mindset.

"I'm making money. I have a business. Make it all about me. **** everyone else."

Well I despise close-minded fools like you just as much, so how about that?

...nah just kidding. :P

You must have missed the part where I called for a smarter tax code for all income brackets. But I don't expect anything resembling reading comprehension from you or elph, so here's a nice *shrug*.

Nice quickfire edit. Seriously, I hate the conservative and right wing mindset that's evolved and been propigated the past decade. Hate it with a passion. Same goes for the folks who seem to embrace it.

- Everyone on welfare is a loser.
- Everyone seriously needing assistance is a loser.
- Everyone respecting women's rights is a loser.
- Everyone sticking up for minorities is a loser.
- Everyone thinking the wealthy should contribute more is a loser.
- Everyone denying global warming is a loser.
- Everyone against corporate America getting more breaks is a loser.
- Everyone against protecting the environment is a loser.
- Everyone against protecting worker safety is a loser.

I could go on for an hour. Did I mention that I hate this mindset and those who seem to embrace it? I'm looking right at you Ant.

BTW, don't even try and talk down to me. Your recent comments come across much more ignorant than anyone else.

But that's the way of Corperate America and the GOP - you oppose? You must be dumb, right?

Trump for the WIN!!!!!!

Don't try to talk about "fair" when we're talking about families that have more wealth than half the countries population combined
Lol the mega rich don't keep the majority of their assets here in the U.S. to begin with, so its a moot point. That particular income bracket is indeed a problem, but targeting people right at the precipice of upper middle class to low rich here in the U.S. is not the right move and will not give you what you want. Maybe you should learn to breathe with your nose.

And yet I don't fall into any of those ways of thinking. I've never once thought someone was a loser for any of those things. So I guess you just struck out. Again.
