Can someone explain to yalls punk-ass president that former President Barack Obama has been far more focused on tanning and swag surfing than riling up protesters who dont need help hating his hateful, raggedy self?

I would volunteer, but I imagine Omarosa would swoop in on the call and curse me out in the name of White Nationalist Jesus.

During an interview on Fox & Friends, that terrible morning show on the de facto state TV news network, Apricot Idi Amin blamed his predecessor for the town hall protests that have occurred across the country as Republican lawmakers try to dismantle the Affordable Care Actwhich many of those imbeciles are only now realizing is the same thing as Obamacare. No. 45 also expressed his belief that Obama is responsible for the media leaks that have followed his ruinous first month in office.

During the interview, which aired Tuesday morning, 45 said of the protests, I think [Obama] is behind it. I also think its politics. Thats the way it is.

As far as the leaks are concerned, 45 argued, Some of the leaks possibly come from that [Obama supporters] group, you know, some of the leaks, which are really very serious leaks, because theyre very bad ... in terms of national security.

In the same interview, when asked to grade himself, 45 told the caffeinated sycophants, I think I get an A in terms of what Ive actually done, but in terms of messaging, Id give myself a C or a C-plus.

Ive got an F and a U to hand him.

This is what happens when a Twitter egg manages to crawl from the Reddit and YouTube conspiracy-video comment sections all the way to the White House. Up until very recently, former President Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama have been on vacation.

Here is People magazines reporting on their 1 percent and well-connected vacation:

The Obamas headed to Palm Springs, California, where they enjoyed a brief stay at the Rancho Mirage home of James Costos, ambassador to Spain and Angora under President Obama, and Los Angelesbased interior designer Michael S. Smith, who redecorated the White House while the Obamas lived there.

Their stay in the States was short and sweet, and after leaving the desert city on Monday morning, the couple touched down at the Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport in the British Virgin Islands at 8:47 p.m., according to the Virgin Islands Daily News. They then reportedly made their way to Virgin Group founder Sir Richard Bransons private island retreat by motorcade and boat.

In other words, the Obamas were being treated by their wealthy friends who presumably pay their contractors and dont run fake schools for quick cash.

The day before this interview aired, 45 spoke at a meeting of the nations governors and claimed, Nobody knew health care could be so complicated. Hillary Clinton knew that in the 1990s. Barack Obama certainly knew it when he rolled out a new health care program. Republicans surely get that, given that for all their pledges to repeal, their plan amounts to nothing more than a sheet of paper that reads, Give my rich daddy those tax cuts.

Plenty of people knew that; so the notion that Obama needed to hop on his cellphone from the beach to help trot out protesters in the reddest of states to yell at Republican lawmakers for trying to strip them of health care without so much as a half-filled bottle of Robitussin as a replacement is as dense as just about anything else that comes out of 45s mouth.

Now, when it comes to leaks, ohmigod, bitch, everyone in the intelligence community hates you because you keep trashing what they do while lying your weird, wig-wearing head off. Of course they leak things to the press. Does 45 really think Obama has to hit folks in between taking rum shots with Michelle to make those folks spill?

For the love of Beyonc, does no one in that White House tell that man anything reminiscent of reality?

That said, Obama is coming for that charlatan in the boxy suits, but not in the way he believes.

Just this week, former Attorney General Eric Holder revealed that hes been speaking with Obama about ways in which he can assist the new National Democratic Redistricting Committee, which Obama asked Holder to chair last year. The goal of the NDRC is to help tackle the Democrats gross disadvantages in terms of state legislators and representation in Congress because of gerrymandering.

According to Holder, Obama is open to fundraising and interacting with state legislators to help with the mission of the new organization.Its coming. Hes coming, Holder said. And hes ready to roll.

In a perfect world, Obama would hear 45s shots and respond with a seven-minute-long diss track that dragged his lumpy self up and down the Eastern Seaboard. Regrettably, thats not Barrys style. Whatever the case, while he may be ready to roll in due time, hes been on vacation.

So, sit tight, Russian chew toy and wait your turn, and keep Obamas name out of your well-done-steak-breath-having mouth.

Can Someone Tell Apricot Idi Amin That Obama Was on Vacation, Not Worrying About Him? - The Root

A few minutes before the sun rose over Mar-a-Lago, President Trump was up, thumbing a series of tweets about Barack Obama and some of the darker days of 20th century American history.

In a series of tweets, President Trump accused former President Barack Obama of wiretapping him in October during the late stages of the presidential election campaign, but offered no evidence to support the allegation. (Reuters)

In particular, he was making accusations that Obama had tapped the phones in Trump tower just before the 2016 election tactics Trump said hearkened to the McCarthy hearings and Red Scare of the late 1940s and 50s.

Nothing found, Trump tweeted. This is McCarthyism!

McCarthyism is something of which Trump should have in-depth knowledge.

His lifelong attorney and mentor Roy Cohn, one of the men who helped mold Trump into Trump was, as one author called it, Joseph McCarthy's sidekick.

After World War II, McCarthy, a Republican senator from Wisconsin, made claims that large numbers of communist spies and sympathizers had infiltrated the U.S. government and needed to be weeded out.

The accusations happened during a period of escalating tensions with the Soviet Union and growing fears about the global spread of communism. McCarthy interrogated alleged sympathizers at Senate hearings that came to bear his name. Just an accusation could ruin reputations and careers.

[The irony of Republicans complaining about McCarthyism]

Cohn was the brains behind McCarthy's rise to power and, to many Americans, one ofthe first real television personalities, according to his obituary in The Washington Post.

Mr. Cohn, with his slick hair, dark complexion and heavy-lidded eyes, the obit said, was frequently seen whispering in the senator's ear.

Eventually, though, Cohn's influence in Washington waned as McCarthy and his hearings lost public support.

Decades later, after Cohn returned to New York, he had Trump's ear.

They first met in New York in October 1973, when Trump was 27 and beginning to make his fortune in his family's real estate business. Cohn, then 46, was a high-profile defense lawyer with connections in city government and in the courts.He used his connections to reward friends and punish opponents,according toThe Post's Robert O'Harrow Jr. and Shawn Boburg.

There were, however, legions of Cohn detractors. He was a source of great evil in this society, Victor A. Kovner, a Democratic activist in New York City and First Amendment lawyer, told O'Harrow and Boburg.He was a vicious, Red-baiting source of sweeping wrongdoing.

[The web of relationships between Team Trump and Russia]

Cohn represented Trump and his dad, Fred, when they faced Justice Department allegations that they discriminated against black rental applicants atthe apartment complexes the family owned or managed, according to O'Harrow and Boburg.

On Dec. 12, 1973, Cohn called a news conference saying they were suing the government for $100 million over the allegations. In an affidavit, Cohn said the government was trying to force subservience to the Welfare Department.

The Trumps ultimately settled the case with the government without admitting guilt and declared victory.

In the late 70s and into the 1980s, Cohn fought efforts to have him disbarred. Through it all, Trump was a loyal friend, trophy client and protege.

Roy had a whole crazy deal going, but Roy was a really smart guy who liked me and did a great job for me on different things, Trump told The Post, according the story published in June. And he was a tough lawyer, and thats what I wanted. Roy was a very tough guy.

In this photo from 1976, Trump shows off plans for the future Grand Hyatt on East 42nd Street to a city official. Considering the era and the man, this is a remarkably tasteful, organic-looking hairstyle. Nevertheless, the hard-charging young developer appears to be studying the older mans pate-management techniques with an eye, as always, to the future.

The year is 1985. Trump, pictured with his first wife, Ivana, is now parting his hair from left to right, as he does to this day (to the extent that the complex superstructure that is Trumps hair can be said to have something as straightforward as a part). This is believed to be the last picture in which more than three-quarters of an inch of Trumps forehead was exposed to public view.

That is not a lobotomy scar on the side of the billionaires head but rather a severe and deep part that suggests a problem area on the top and back of his scalp is being compensated for. Note that this party picture is composed as meticulously as an allegoric Renaissance painting, with Trump occupying the symbolic middle ground, in terms of possessing active follicles, between Davis and Stewart. To the right, Hunter represents hair in its unfallen, natural-ish state.

Trump and then-girlfriend Marla Maples sanctifying their love, like all devoted couples do, at a press event in 1991. Note that Trumps hairline is now nearly contiguous with his eyebrows. Is this evidence of the scalp reduction he allegedly underwent in 1989, according to divorce papers filed by Ivana and recounted in the 1993 biography Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump?

Trumps 1993 wedding to Maples, the second Mrs. Trump. Strangely, the hair on the left side of the grooms head is a full half foot taller than on the right. This imbalance may be the result of the three or four inter-dimensional, gravity-warping vortexes clearly visible in the back of his head.

Hannitygrillied the three on the shocking revelations recently outlined by radio host Mark Levin and expanded on by Breitbart News that show that starting in June, 2016 the Obama administration filed requests with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court to monitor communications involving Donald Trump and several advisers.

SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER

On the eve of Inauguration Day, the New York Times reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Treasury Department were monitoring several associates of the Trump campaign on suspicion of Russian ties.

Hannity was having none of it on Saturday, blasting top Obama friend and adviser Valerie Jarrett, whomThe Daily Mail recently reported is now living with the Obamas in their Washington D.C. mansion. Hannity made a reference to this in one his Tweets to Jarrett, saying:

Hannity followed that shot across the bow with a series of questions that the public has a right to know, peppering Jarrett like a skilled prosecutor:

After going after Jarrett, Hannity set his sights on Ben Rhodes, former Obama speechwriter and foreign policy advisor.

Then Hannity set this sights on Dan Pfeiffer, a senior advisor to President Obama and a current contributor to CNN.

Finally, Hannity asked the Watergate question of the former President:

Democrats and the media have used accusations of Trumps supposed connection to Russia to assail Trump for months, and since the President was sworn in, have continued to target administration officials such as Attorney General Jeff Sessions and General Michael Flynn, who was forced to resign after giving incorrect information, possibly inadvertently, to Vice President Pence. Meanwhile, the media has joined the attack, throwing out endless questions about Russia and Trump and his team, as well as allowing disgraced Democrat officials like Donna Brazile to use Russian hacking as an excuse and deflectionfrom their own misdeeds.

When asked by Breitbart News for comment, Hannity said Ill let the Tweets speak for themselves.

The report details the Obama administrations efforts to lead a cyber war against North Koreas missile program, with a number of the North's military rockets later exploding or veering off course into the sea.

The Trump administration has said all options are on the table for countering the nuclear threat, according to the report. Trump has previously said North Korea will not obtain nuclear weapons.

North Korea just stated that it is in the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the U.S. It won't happen! Trumptweetedin early January.

The Wall Street Journal in November reported that Obama officials had told members of the Trump transition team that North Korea would be the new administrations number one national security issue.

North Korea said in September that it had conducted a nuclear test. Over the past eight months, Pyongyang has launched three medium-range rockets and have aimed to create an intercontinental ballistic missile.
