The Obamas... divorce?

[Andrew NDB]

Apparently there are a lot of persistent rumors.

And something about Jennifer Aniston?!

I guess they got tired of the 'Michelle is a Man' rumors and moved onto something else. Tabloid man.

[Andrew NDB]

The thing is, the genesis of these rumors right now are not coming from tabloid-type sources.

[IMJ]

I saw this as well but until there is confirmation of this kind of stuff I don't give it much credibility. Still.... it is a pretty strange set of claims to have no foundation at all whatsoever.

Why is this relevant for anything?

Probably some way for the right to poke fun at the libs for some reason.

It's a pretty stupid question, honestly. I could -- right now -- grab 10 threads in this subforum alone of equal or lesser veracity and ask the same question.

That third link on it is kinda hilarious.

I want to draw your attention to something incredibly suspicious Barack Obama did on social media last week. He wished his wife of 32 years a happy birthday.

Oh no. :tlol:

Meghan McCain... told host Tara Palmeri that there were “very serious journalists telling me that they’re hearing that the Obama divorce rumors are true.”

Then why don't those "very serious journalists" report on it themselves? If they were pro-Obama/Dems I doubt they'd be talking to Meghan McCain about it, so why bother keeping secrets were it legit? Meghan McCain sounds bored or trying to distract from something else.

I'll believe it when it happens. And if it did... I do not care at all.



On the topic of divorce... Honestly, after Melania clearly didn't seem to enjoy being first lady the last time and the way she appeared at the inauguration, hiding her eyes under that hat the entire time and looking as little emotionally involved as possible, I'm surprised she didn't file back in November and "hell no" her way out of there. lol

I first heard about this last week and I guess the Barak-Anniston thing started as a joke over a decade ago then turned into… something that got some serious rumors buzzing.

Also, there’s the “Michelle Obama was always trans” rumor going around but… com’on now. Can’t be.

[CyberCubed]

Come to think of it have any former presidents ever had a divorce? I remember everyone thinking Bill and Hilary would after him cheating was confirmed but even Hilary stuck with Bill to this very day. And that was also way before she decided to run for president in 2016.

If Bill and Hilary made it work, I doubt the Obamas are having it worse.

[FredWolfLeonardo]

What if Michelle got mad at Barrack for attending the inauguration :lol:

People are ridiculous, clinging to weird conspiracies like a catty high schooler clings to and spreads rumors.

Do they think the Obama daughters looking very much look like both of their parents is a lucky coincidence? Lol

[CyberCubed]

I still remember back when Obama was president, the conspiracy theories of Obama "being a muslim" were thrown around. Despite the fact that we know his parents origins.

Well I mean, men can get pregnant too nowadays :lol::lol::lol::lol:

There's a fun bit of a rabbit hole that leads down. Let's just say if you begin at a place of, "OK, there is NO WAY..." and continue down it, you might not end up at a place that's like, "OK, that's totally real!" But maybe at a place of, "Huh. You know what? Idk. Probably not, but there's some weird sh** there just the same."

I would totally do that because it‘s true for a lot of these threads. It doesn‘t make the question stupid, it just shows that people are interested in dumb ****.

I know the feeling well.

The old Joan Rivers quip is certainly an odd thing to watch.

Andrew is on the 'tism spectrum leave him alone.

That's pretty rich coming from the guy who claimed to be an obese black woman all of 4 months ago. You know, before touting that you are, instead, a "proud white man" or something somesuch more recently.

I must have missed a lot of posts or they might have been deleted because I never seen any of that.

Bro SDP is a Russian-troll (or maybe it was Ukraine or Poland, I can't remember) whose hero growing up was f'n Tom Green. He had the "I am a proud black woman" thing posted as his signature for I think about a year.
