    I think he was inferring that you are a little slow on the uptake.

    Or maybe he was implying it. :dunno:

    You could just re-post Obama's joke in response to him. :cheers:

    The joke you posted occurred in April, 2016.

    Don't confuse yourself into thinking I'm cut from the same cloth as @HCP when it comes to ethnic jokes.

    You didn't learn from Obama?

    I'll take jokes that white people shouldn't make for $1000 Alex.

    Fake news ignored it, as usual.

    Expand your sources to include Real News:

    Fox carried at least 6 or 7 stories about it.

    Here's an update.

    The neighbor of Kentucky Senator Rand Paul signed a plea agreement Friday for the November attack that left the Republican lawmaker with six broken ribs.

    Rene Boucher, 58, was charged with assaulting a member of Congress and plans to plead guilty as a part of a federal plea agreement and could face up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if found guilty.

    According to Boucher’s attorney, the episode surrounding the attack had “to do with yards and the maintenance of those.”

    He added that his client is “very meticulous” about the maintenance of his yard, while Paul takes “a much more different approach.”

    Paul was attacked on Nov. 3 while mowing his lawn when he was allegedly tackled by Boucher from behind. The senator’s office has rejected the claim that the attack had to do with a dispute over property maintenance.

    Boucher is also facing a misdemeanor assault charge in state court in Kentucky. He has pleaded guilty in that case.

    No date has been set for Boucher’s court appearance in the federal case but federal prosecutors will seek a 21-month prison sentence.

    You're okay with being 3 months behind on major news developments, fine by me.

    Rand Paul's lawn mowing isn't major news.

    Rand is leaf mower instead of a leaf raker.

    Well, of course. Those leaves should have picked themselves up by their bootstraps. Not his fault if the lazy bastards just lie there.
