Let's Re-visit the Fucking Assholes Who Blasted Obama for Wearing a Tan Suit

Last edited Sat Feb 17, 2018, 09:06 PM - Edit history (1)

Donald J. Trump has been accused by as many as 18 women for inappropriate sexual conduct, including harassment and assault. Also for entering a Miss Teenage America Beauty Pageant dressing room with teenage girls in various stages of dress. Trump was caught on tape bragging about assaulting women. He made the most disgusting racist remarks about African-Americans, Latinos and Native Americans. Live and on tape. Has sided with the KKK and neo-Nazis on more than one occasion. Trump has excused and endorsed a candidate with multiple child sex offenses against him. He has been an apologist for the most vile of powerful men who have committed similar sex crimes. He surrounded himself, and is most likely personally involved, in acts with a hostile foreign power to undermine our democracy. Trump has, without question, and in public, obstructed justice. Trump has at least 130 people working in the executive branch of the government, handling the most sensitive of America's secrets, who can not obtain a basic security clearance. Trump has cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans at a cost of a $trillion and a half to our treasury. He has presented a budget that cuts Medicare and other safety net programs, yet still produces an additional $trillion to our deficit and debt. He has signed into law provisions that weaken our already weak gun laws. He has presided over 3 of the 10 most prolific mass killings in this country's history. Trump has proven to be inept. While claiming that he would hire the best people; unqualified, or barley qualified appointees are being fired or resigning at a rate 3 times greater than any of his predecessors. Our standing in the world could not be lower, as he can't even visit out staunchest ally, Great Britain. He has been clocked at over 2,000 lies in his first year in office, which amounts to more that an average of 5 a day. Trump tweets with embarrassing inaccuracy and frequency, so much so, that even his staunchest supporters want him to stop. It is documented that he cheated on his wife while she was caring for their new born with a porn actress and a playboy model. Trump, or his associates, paid hundreds of thousand of dollars in hush money to keep these scandals out of the press prior to the election. I'm sure there are even more items that many of you can add to this list. This is just off the top of my head.

Yet, in 2014, there was such a screaming scandal because President Obama wore a tan suit. I have linked you to the article, but Fox News, in August of 2014, ran a day and a half of stories about how disrespectful Obama was to wear a tan suit. Let me repeat that, a fucking tan suit.

<snip> Let’s make this much clear: there is nothing wrong, wild or crazy about a tan suit. This may come as a shock to those who expressed outrage at President Obama’s choice of attire yesterday, but not all suits come in a shade of gray or navy. In fact, as colors outside of those two go, tan is rather plain and simple. As for the suit itself, the lapels are in their typical three-inch range, it’s not tailored any better than his other suits (at least from the navel up) and the American flag pin is in its usual location. The tan suit is just another suit that happens to be a slightly different color than the ones he normally wears. It was, in no way, a fashion statement.<snip>

coked-up howler monkeys, it was this one. The paroxysms of rage, the spit-spraying fury, the prime-time-ready rolled eyes, all because of a natty, well-tailored suit.

If President Obama had turned up wearing dirty sweats and carpet slippers, he could not have provoked more ham-fisted outrage than over the tan suit. Not the least of which reasons is because for a seemingly significant portion of his right-wing detractors, dirty sweats and carpet slippers count as formal wear.

The sooner the Deliverance crowd dies and gets plowed under by history, the better for everyone in the above-average half of the US.
