New Trump Lawsuit Seeks to Overturn Obama's 2008 Election

[Rhiannon12866]

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In his latest legal action, Donald J. Trump has filed a lawsuit to overturn former President Barack Obama’s election in 2008.

Throwing out Obama’s win seems like a long shot to most legal scholars, who note that the former President won in 2008 by more than nine million votes and racked up three hundred and sixty-five Electoral College votes in a resounding landslide.

Further complicating Trump’s case is that his lawsuit refers to no tangible evidence of voter fraud in 2008, other than a cryptic statement that “there were a lot of bad things going on.”

Reached at his office at Netflix, Obama seemed unconcerned by the prospect of his 2008 election being overturned. “Look, I’m a TV producer,” he said. “I’ve got scripts to read and rough cuts to watch. I don’t have the kind of free time that Donald Trump has.”

4. pssst...

This is satire. But it says a great deal that it's not all that far fetched...

[Cha]

6. Only 1 didn't get it so far.

[Cha]

5. And, why wouldn't the jealous

wanker.. if he could. If he weren't too busy trying to overturn Joe Biden's?

Yes, I know.. Andy. TY!

[Rhiannon12866]

8. All anyone has to do is mention "inauguration turnout" to send Trump right over the edge

Even now!

Everyone here will automatically assume it's just another Boro report.......

Thanks for posting, that's a good one!..... ......

[Rhiannon12866]

But these are just to spot on that I just can't resist!

10 minutes prior to Obama's birth, lawyers for Trump raised concerns about Hawaii's legal status as a state of the US.
Consequently, that status was lifted temporarily.
10 minutes after Obama's birth however, that legal concern was resolved and Hawaii was reinstated as US territory.

Consequently, Obama is not a US citizen, and Trump's lawyers will propose that the Obama years are struck from the history books, that Biden never was VP, and hence is unqualified to be president.

In his concluding statement before the Supreme Court Trump's chief lawyer will say 'Trump wins, Biden loses!'

Reports of bobbing head Republican SCOTUS members and Republicans across the county cheering loudly at the news.

[Rhiannon12866]

13. Why not? Trump's initial scam was to claim that Obama wasn't a citizen

If it was possible, he'd try to prove that Obama was never actually President!

[ProfessorGAC]

33. Then Obama Can Run Again!

Since he wouldn't actually be president yet, and territories are still considered US soil, and their residents are citizens, the invalidated election means 8 more years of Obama!
Those lawyers didn't think this through.

37. +100

12. James Corden tonight: "trump came out of his hole and saw his shadow.

We’ll have 6 more weeks of his refusal to accept he lost,” or something like that.

[herding cats]

14. I laughed hard at this! 🤣

Thanks for sharing!

[Rhiannon12866]

16. I agree, definitely ranks in "the best of Borowitz!"

[herding cats]

18. It was so good!

It was 'scare my cats' good!

[Upthevibe]

15. Rhiannon12866....

SOOOOOOOOOO funny!!!!!!!!!

[Rhiannon12866]

17. But only because it's not all that far fetched!

[Upthevibe]

19. Rhiannon12866....

SOOOOOOOOOO funny!!!!!!!!!

[Afromania]

20. It's bad when you see an op like this and your first reaction is ??????

rather than immediately thinking it's a joke of some kind.

[Aussie105]

21. I'd like Trump to get a DNA test . . .

and an in depth study of his family history.

The first, to prove he is Human. And if any uniquely human genes like those for empathy, intelligence etc are missing or inactive from birth.

The second, to show he is NOT related to other people of historic note - like Genghis Khan, Vlad the Impaler, or any other murderous, inhumane butcher of his subjects.

[mr_lebowski]

22. He's still not proven he wasn't actually fathered by an orangutan to my satisfaction (nt)

[Rhiannon12866]

23. Mary Trump's book explains a lot...

[UTUSN]

25. I knew it as soon as I saw it!!!!!! -------An aside:

In all this time of Andy threads, I have never ever read any of his columns! The title/headlines are all I've ever seen & crack me up by themselves. I *did* look up his Wiki one time and it was mindblowing to me.

Jut thought I'd add to the overall thing!1

[Rhiannon12866]

26. Well, you picked a good one, since this has to be one of his best

But like all of them, at first glance they could easily be taken for news these days...

[Meadowoak]

27. So now, Trump thinks his good friend John McCain won in 2008?

[Rhiannon12866]

28. Excellent point!

[malaise]

29. This is profound because the most painful part of losing for the

Killa Con, aka biggest loser, is that the African-American president won two terms with ease. I love Borowitz.

[Rhiannon12866]

30. And - what people tend to forget - Trump got a lot fewer votes - in both 2016 and now!

Not to mention those inauguration turnout photos!

[malaise]

32. What I still love best about his obsession with Obama is that

he actually thought he could replace the actual photos with his fake shit.
For anyone who had doubts about this monster, that should have been the first sign.
It was way too easy to debunk.

[Rhiannon12866]

34. He really isn't good at it - and always gets caught, he uses a Sharpie!

[malaise]

35. Hahahahha

[treestar]

31. Hahahaha

[Cartaphelius]

36. Obama should counter sue challenging

Trump's parents for birthing the shit-gibbon.

[Aristus]

38. Yep. Satire: still dead.
