It just didn’t pass the smell test from the beginning. Black Lies Matter.

They weren’t duped. They were complicit.

I was suspicious that pictures of the noose was not being published. (I didn’t see any.) If Bubba saw something so outrageous, why didn’t he take a picture with his phone and post it?

Obviously, if he published the picture of a knot at the end of a garage door pull rope, there would have been lots of skeptics. Instead, just inflammatory words.

First useful thing the FBI has done in ages. Guess they had to take a few agents (15!) off the Trump Russia case.

No one was duped .
They were co-conspirators.
Why isn't this desperate no talent and Nascar reps being charged with filing false claims and conspiracy to file false claims ?
Where is the apology from the AL Gov to the state residents
?

“If Bubba saw something so outrageous, why didn’t he take a picture with his phone and post it?”

For the same reason Jesse Smollet wore his noose like a fashion accessory. Because it is a hoax and a publicity stunt.

Bubba is a lot like Kapernick

https://www.racing-reference.info/yeardet/2019/W

Bubba is driving for a strong owner with a capable pit crew.

2019 record, zero wins, zero pole position, one top 5 finish, on top 10 finish.

Bubba goal seems to be racking up the laps, not winning.
Bubba is in the bottom tranche of drivers.

And, for now, Bubba will keep his ride, or everyone in the world is racist

The MSM headline I saw was: “FBI Will Not Press Charges in NASCAR Noose Case.”

So...
1. Lies that it was a noose when it was, in fact, a garage door pull.
2. Lies that there was ‘a case’ to pursue - as if the Trump directed DOJ refused to pursue a legit case.
3. Lies by omission not highlighting there was no noose and there was no case because the whole thing was bs.

At the end of the day, a noose is just a knot too.

So I decided to look up the noose.

Per Wikipedia (yea, I know)

A variation of this knot is used in fishing and is called the Uni-knot. It is used to tie fishing line to terminal tackle, join two pieces of line, or for snelling hooks. It is especially useful when used with slick braided line as more coils can be added to increase the friction of the knot and will not let the knot pull out. It is also useful in that the knot can be pulled down tight to the lure or it can be left with a larger loop that gives the lure more freedom of movement.
The hangman’s noose can also be used in boating to secure an eyelet on a rope or sheet without splicing it.
This knot was also used for hauling lines on gaff rigging in sailing applications, usually made with three or more wraps depending on the weight to be lifted. It is still a trusted knot for overhead lifting and sailing to this day.

If they knew they were being duped, would they have handled it any differently?

For some reason there are no photo’s, as if some one did not publish them so no one could figure out we were being hoax. Not saying this was on purpose (cough cough) but if a guy and his mechanics who lived in garages for most of their lives cannot tell a noose from garage-rope you would almost, almost think this is being done on purpose.

Will not happen. Comcast or Bezo will keep pumping money in that black hole. It’s just DNC propaganda circumverting FEC regulations.

On CBS This Morning race agitator Gayle King dismissed the hoax and said even if not true it is true and it is very concerning??!

Wait a minute, I thought no noose was good news.
