This is a real thing:
That’s an actual tweet from Colorado State Sen. Dave Schultheis, who apparently thinks that trying to give health care to uninsured people is the same thing as crashing a plane into the Pentagon.
That is what he’s saying, right? Are we mistaken? That is a 9/11 reference, is it not?
After all, Flight 93 did crash into the ground, but it only happened after one Todd Beamer shouted “Let’s roll,” and the passengers and crew stormed the cockpit. That’s what happened, right? Pretty straightforward, no?
APPARENTLY NOT, according to Sen. Schultheis!
The following is the actual explanation this man used for why he said what said — or didn’t say.
State Sen. David Schultheis said he didn’t intend for a Twitter post accusing President Barack Obama of “flying the U.S. plane right into the ground” and ending with “let’s roll” as a threat or a reference to United Flight 93, which crashed during the 2001 terrorist attacks.
OH HEY HAHAHAHA! MORE, PLEASE!
‘Let’s roll.’ It’s a comment people use all the time any more. ‘Let’s get going. Let’s move on. Let’s make major changes,’” Schultheis said. “I can see it now. But you’re busy doing jillions of things during the day. You sometimes don’t analyze every single word.”
Somewhere right now, Bill Clinton is shaking his fist (or penis) in the general direction of Sen. Schultheis, because wow. That’s just some amazing dissembling.
During his campaign for Obama declared the the United States was the greatest country in the world. His party’s platform was one of “Change.” Well, he’s succeeded! We are no longer the greatest country in the world!.
It’s amazing to me how quickly the jingoistic “America first,” with-us-or-against-crowd from 2001-08 has turned against this country. Which country is greater now, Jim? And what exactly did Obama do in 11 months in office that undid 200+ years of greatness?
Josh, the guy you’re responding to doesn’t understand that you don’t need a period after an exclamation point. Do you think he’s going to understand that he’s an idiot? Unlikely.
