I posted this on the live thread, however maggief suggested this deserves a thread of its own.

[trisham]

Wow.

Morons...

Stupid is, as stupid does.

I don’t want to see anyone hurt, but MAN that would be funny if a few got zotted during his speech.

[bcsco]

I wonder if they conflicted with his teleprompters...?

Looks like TOTUS knows enough to stay out of a thunderstorm.

better than a bunny with a pancake on its head

[penelopesire]

I’m surprised they weren’t yelling for government funded umbrellas....LOL!!

LOLOLOLOL

And they say there is no God.

Well, the Precedent is holding an even better lightning rod, and he’s standing at a higher (and more electrically attractive) elevation than his useful idiots.

Ben Franklin is somewhere smiling right now.

Where’s the video where Baraq raises his arms and produces a “dry slot” ?

[TheZMan]

Hahaha. Thanks :)

[Enterprise]

Makes perfect sense to me. After all, they’ve been told all of their lives not to stand under a tree in a lightning storm.

[kristinn]

Good point. I see POTUS, but not TOTUS. At least one of them has sense.

[Orange1998]

It does deserve a thread. :)

[swheats]

I hope it’s true God protects children and fools. Metal chairs in a thunderstorm?

[Paladin2]

Dude, no wonder they have fences around those places.

[50cal Smokepole]

Whoa. O-Zombies trolling for the ZOT.

[RichInOC]

Oh. My. God.
Weapons-grade stupid.
