We need a ruling on this manipulated video too, Glenn. How can Bloomberg get away with this? https://t.co/gCzOlqpJHr

People are calling Trump crazy on twitter for saying Obama should be impeached. Mehdi Hassan tweeted: “Last night Trump called for the impeachment of Barack Obama - who hasn’t been president for three years. This batshit demand from the sitting president won’t feature on any front pages of any newspapers or any nightly news headlines on TV. We have normalized an abnormal person.”
It apparently didn’t register to these people that Trump was making a joke.
p.s. But then again, we also live in a world where satirical publications get “fact checked.”

I don't think he was making a joke. I think he was making a point.
in more serious news
"I Lick Mike!" said one of those deceptively edited dog-talkers. But That's Not Funny is fake news here, because it was funny and I laughed. As I did with the "has anyone else here started a business" video. As I am at the Kesslers and coastal media elites who presume to still have influence over anyone when what they do is so utterly transparent and ineffective. But maybe it still works on the D's inside the beltway-cult?
So..Bloomberg's campaign is going to the dogs? So?
@Curious George:

That's true. He was comparing his impeachment to Obama's record but doing so in a jocular manner.

in unintentional humor news
I dislike almost everything M. Bloomberg proposes, but you have to have a heart of stone to not like that commercial.
I love dogs, but I don't take political advice from them.
quite forgiving of him
...since they have mistaken him for a fire hydrant so often
I can't get past all the hand raising at these debates. Looks ridiculous when adults behave this way.
Both. Jokes are often used to make a point.
Did he ever score the Covington Catholic video?
There was a news program in the last 10 years or so. I think it was 60 minutes or NBC's equivalent. In the show, they interviewed some corporate executives and asked them a leading question. In the show, they showed the executives sitting in embarrassed silence a long time. The executives cried foul, as in the real interview they had immediately responded with reasonable arguments. They weren't stunned into silence as the show implied. A threat of a lawsuit got a public apology from the network.
This seems to me to be the same thing. His edit of the tape isn't satire or comedy. It is a deceptive edit used to imply that none of the others on the stage would be able to respond to such a question. That deserves the pinocchios it was awarded.
