    How exactly does one justify a nuclear attack on a country that has no nukes?

    Albeit a Twitter post like this from him doesn’t surprises me in the least, Anyone who backs his word from this moment on is a straight-up retarded piece of shit. You’ve now lost the ability to defend him completely.

    Lol, you can't use sane reasoning with the things Trump says / tweets. But, I missed the part where he threatened a nuclear attack. It wouldn't take a nuke to bomb Iran into submission, though. And, when you say "has no nukes," are you saying that they've been enriching uranium and testing medium range ballistic missiles for their science fair project?

    When he said you will suffer the consequences the likes of which few throughout history have suffered before. I felt that was an implied nuke threat because conventional warfare isn’t scarce anywhere at any point in time.

    Maybe, but the "shock and awe" campaign at the time was the likes of which few had seen before, too, and no nukes were dropped. The US has lots and lots of weapons and could easily drop conventional bombs, and shoot non-nuke missiles on and at Iran, to a level never seen before, without it being nuclear. Also, recent large scale military engagements were tempered and protracted due to avoidance of civilian targets as much as possible. If that throttle were removed by the one giving the orders, that would also take it to a level seen only by a few.

    Other Georgia lawmakers and the Governor have rightly called for him to resign. He was defeated in the primary this year and won't be serving again. I hope they force him out if he doesn't resign, so he won't be able to get any kind of benefits.

    I tell ya what. I’m not sure what needed to be done to convince him to say that shit on camera but that stuff will never, ever go away.
    But the last segment at the end of show was actually downright scary. I’m not sure how hard he had to dig to find a town of people like that, but they seem to have no issue going on camera and saying all that fucking terrible shit. I got a good, hearty laugh when he put up the graphic of the potential mosque and then the other graphic of the even bigger mosque. Their reactions were just hilarious.

    The short answer on what they had to do was "not much," though he says different. Here's a bit of the back story. There are places you can't wear a mask, like say, into a bank. He introduced legislature that he said was to remove the exemption for women wearing a burqa. I think it was basically legislation to prohibit women from wearing them in public. It didn't pass or even get to the floor, I don't think. He received threats to him and his family for introducing the legislation, AND it wasn't too far removed from the Congressional shooting during the Republican softball practice. With those things in the recent past, that's when the producers at Cohen's show approached him. He's an idiot and and an easy target with a soft mind. His official response:
    I mean, fear is an easy thing to take advantage of, but he's done other dumb things that used up any of his benefit of the doubt. Like, when there was discussion about removing confederate monuments from State property he publicly posted this, but quickly deleted it

    Yes he’s a stupid fuck. But is his mind so soft as to, without question, drop his pants and underwear and think that nakedly backing into someone makes THEM gay and not the dude who took off his pants?

    It’s like when Cartman sucked Butters dick when Butters was sleeping and Cartman called Butters gay.

    I really want to know what the camera setup looks like... because I don't think it's some secret, hidden camera deal. If that's the case, then the guy did all of that, while having a 4k camera pointed at him, with a camera operator and sound guy standing there, and probably some lighting.

    That's a whole other level of commitment.

    Yeah, clearly rationale thought is not his strong suit. He didn't slip up as a teenager or angrily say something he regretted or things everybody is guilty of. He showed a pattern of stupidity and bigotry and fortunately, he won't hold State office anymore. I just hope he's removed so my taxes don't go to his pension plan.

    There's also a post-credits PSA. Can't find a great video of it, but this video has most of it at 1:03 :

    When I watch a show like Arrested Development and there is some silly back and forth, with deadpan looks between two characters, I wonder how they keep a straight face. Cohen is in all that makeup with the fake accent, and that idiot is backing into him bare-assed saying "USA motherfucker!" How does he keep a straight face?

    “Duped”. That’s the excuse they’re using for this, and things like Dick Cheney autographing a water boarding kit.

    How can you be “duped” into doing this if you were obviously a fucking idiot before it was even shot?

    I got the impression that Cheney doesn't regard himself as having been duped. Dude is 100% in support of torture, and signed the bottle knowing exactly what it was claimed to be. He hasn't come out and said he was deceived or duped or anything. I think he just sat back and watched it and was just disappointed no one had actually been tortured with the bottle he signed.

    That’s his skill. His shtick is not just making these characters, but how completely immersed gets while playing them. He NEVER cracks, because you can’t shock a person who is so obviously more fucked up than you are.

    This show, if it continues to knock over dingbat dominoes should be declared a national treasure.

    I actually laughed out loud.

    How can you be that fucking stupid to not realize you're being setup?

    That was like watching poetry. When he started talking in what he thought was chinese, it was so racist I thought he was acting. Like no one can be that dumb.

    His Israeli accent, while slightly over the top wasn’t really that bad. I have a lot of family and friends from Israel and the men sound a bit like that. They speak aggressively. The best part of his Mossad guy is when he’s talking, he throws in some Yiddish words that don’t mean the thing he’s talking about and it’s hilarious. He does it with Borat too.

    And Cheney was basically like *wink wink* “we don’t CALL it torture. It’s enahnced interrogation.” *wink*

    He couldn’t have been more proud of his legacy. He truly is an evil person.
