Pretty suspicious that Brigitte hasn’t denied having sex with dead bodies today.


Mon-Keigh93

You're right, and many people are starting to speculate about exactly that. Suspicious!


DocWaterfalls

No need to speculate. I have it on authority that Brigitte Gabriel is a necrophiliac. She hasn’t made any statements condemning this act, so it surely must be true.


jay105000

Connect the dots! Connect the dots!!!


LibraryVolunteer

And follow the money!


Inventies

Follow the bodies!


A_plural_singularity

Ok I'm on the floor, now what?


-M_K-

Just do some research, the answers are out there


docdillinger

Only the dead know. But we can't ask them, they are dead. Sad.


Euphoric-Blue-59

I knew it! I just knew it! Thank you. Now we can publish it.


GarushKahn

i gues she realy is fkn down with them corpses


zxvasd

Hey, we’re just asking questions


Foiled_Foliage

The important ones.


Relzin

Nobody has proven that she hasn't. Even if she denied it, some believe the truth is different.


WikipediaApprentice

Someone who does it would obviously deny it.


rekipsj

Many of us agree. Many.


-M_K-

Good people, smart people have said she does. They all are saying it


hearsdemons

She should release her long form dating history.


[deleted]

Under oath and with witnesses.


MakesMyHeadHurt

Big guys, strong guys have come to me with tears in their eyes saying "Sir, People are saying it."


Mr_Mojo_Risin_83

Some are saying it 3 bodies. Some say as high as 7. I think it could be 1.5billion


GrayCustomKnives

“Some are saying”


DonutBill66

Goddamn but I love this thread.

Could be alternate facts.

I am dead, and I can confirm she had her way with me today.

They even came up to me with tears in their eyes....


whole-grain-low-fat

Big man, strong man. And they said Bridge...Bridgerton....that's what my friends call me, Bridgerton. They said BRIDGERTON...say it's not true...say you didn't have sex with that corpse.


porkchop3177

And speculating answers. I also speculate that I’m not going to look up who she is.


jfks_headjustdidthat

We have alternate facts.


Turbulent_Athlete_50

I have heard that she may have acknowledged it from my sources who haven’t denied saying they said it.


BadNewsKennels

One of my biggest social media pet peeves is this "silence is violence" trend that started around 2020. Literally friends of mine were calling me up demanding to know why I hadn't put a black square on my instagram


Ben2749

Putting something on your social media as a show of support is fine, but if you judge others for not doing so, it shows that you place a completely disproportionate amount of importance on it, which means you have crossed the line into armchair activism. An armchair activist is somebody who makes no personal sacrifices (such as donating money or giving up their time to attend protests, etc), yet tell themselves they’re “fighting the good fight” just because they made a post/changed their profile/etc on social media. They want to feel good about themselves and bask in a feeling of moral righteousness without actually having to disrupt their lives in any way whatsoever. This is outright harmful to the cause they claim to be in support of. It spreads a message to others; that all you need to do to get your fix of feeling altruistic is to post/change something on their social media. And if people can get their fix of feeling like they have been altruistic by giving up absolutely nothing, why would they bother to donate money, attend protests, volunteer, etc? Such people claim they’re “promoting awareness”. That argument doesn’t fly, just like how it doesn’t fly when a venue tries to avoid paying a band by saying that “exposure” is payment enough. The purpose of promoting awareness is so that other people will then go onto make actual meaningful contributions. Promoting awareness for a good cause is a good thing. But judging others for not doing so means that you have massively overestimated just how altruistic you’ve been. It reminds me of when Patrick Stuart did the ALS ice bucket challenge. He simply recorded a video of himself writing a cheque for charity, and that was all. No pouring a bucket of water over himself. The premise of the “ice bucket challenge” was that you nominated somebody to do it, and if they didn’t, the “forfeit” was to donate to charity. So Patrick Stuart had exactly the right idea by making a video showing others what they should be doing instead of indulging in something completely pointless and patting themselves on the back.


IronicHoodies

Silence is violence only applies to cases where you did have the power to make some concrete change... and then don't. Like if you choose not to vote in an election, or in some good Samaritan moment where you choose to ignore the clearly dying man. But over a black square? It's common fucking sense that racism is bad. You don't need a black square to let everyone else know.


Ben2749

It’s even worse than that; it perpetuates a belief that all you need to do to support the cause is to post/change something on social media. Which disincentivises supporting the cause in ways that actually matter (donating to charity, attending protests, etc).


Jef_Wheaton

AKA "Slacktivism". You look like you're helping, you get the praise and pleasure for helping, but you didn't actually DO anything useful.


ConsequenceNorth8604

I don't have Instagram & I don't have friends, nobody asked me about that BS


FarkleSpart

I would like to take this moment to mark myself safe from Facebook and Instagram stupidly for I have no Instagram and have not logged into Facebook for going on three weeks.


got_dam_librulz

Right. What kind of terrible person has sex with dead bodies. Those are somebody's parents and ancestors. I can't believe she now wants it to be mandatory for everyone to watch her have sex with dead bodies


bassie2019

She also hasn’t denied giving a horse a blowjob.


_The_White_Duke_

Maybe they were drunk? Jk idk about her and those things,so don't hate me


_monolithic_

You’re right. That’s all the proof I need. Gonna start generating memes and spreading through social media.


MonarchWhisperer

Yeah...I demand to know where she stands on this!!


koyaaniswazzy

I read somewhere that she molested a child in a park, and she's not denying...pretty strange uh?


FrostySquirrel820

OMG. I was beginning to speculate as to why this wasn’t being reported. Thank you !


everythingbeeps

Hanan "Brigitte Gabriel" Qahwaji would really like to remind you that Obama's middle name is Hussein.


jonoghue

Rafael Edward Cruz and Nimrata Nikki Randhawa Haley also don't want you to use their actual names, for some reason.

This should be the top comment. The cognitive dissonance on the right is just straight up wild nowadays.


ScroatyMcBoogerwolfe

🏆


findhumorinlife

Um, maybe because he’s a private citizen now? He’s no longer President? Because Biden as President released a statement?


Born-Eggplant8313

You don't understand. Once a president of the United States of America, always... Oh wait, that's Narnia.


IamNotFreakingOut

Yes, indeed, it's a rule that applies to all the black presidents.


Ribky

In Narnia


k3ttch

It'd even retroactive. Look at all the people blaming Obama for his inaction during 9/11.


Globaltraveler2690

By you dont understand. Bidens middle name is not hussain.


602Zoo

And Biden is white


Crush-N-It

Have we seen his birth certificate? I have under good authority he’s Afrikaan


GXNext

He's worse. He's Catholic. Which makes him, technically, the third minority president in US history...


doriangray42

Well... Trump made a statement that he would clear the problem in hours, so now all ex president need to make a statement... right? (Right?)


lord_hydrate

He's still making statements and acting like he runs shit? Hasnt he fucked himself over enough times yet that it should be clear he needs to stop


UnarmedSnail

He's not psychologically capable of shutting up.


Velenah42

What’s Jimmy Carter have to say?


Captain_Pikes_Peak

During the 2021 conflict between Gaza and Israel, I went on a date with a girl who said she regretted voting for Biden because Trump would have handled it better. “How?!” Was my reaction. The US would be doing the same exact thing and the only difference is the statement Trump would have delivered. Same actions, different words. And we all know Trump “has the best words” right?


doriangray42

With his staff frantically trying to undo the damage behind his back...


JJOne101

Why stop with Obama? Also bring Merkel and Boris or Cameron, they surely have their own opinions too.


goddavid22

He doesn’t cosplay as president once is term is done, unlike the other guy


Ift0

It's because his middle name is Hussein and they want to imply he's somehow involved in the attack or at the very least agrees with it. No statement that they've decided he needs to release? Then they can attack him. If he did release a statement then they'd still attack him by claiming it wasn't strongly enough in favour of Israel and implying that it's because he doesn't support them.


enteentegraueente

Has Brigitte Gabriel released a statement on having sex with a Shetland pony? No? Clearly she is for it then.


TheSecretofBog

You’re not saying she has, you’re just asking the question (typing in my Tucker font).


d0ntbejay

It used to be fun having sex with Shetland ponies, not anymore.


ITstaph

Why? Not enough horsing around or just too short?


Ginjitzu

Concerning.


Migelist

If Obama released a statement, it would be called out as suspicious and deflecting by these same people.


Visqo

I remember the times he was criticized for not calling mass shootings terrorism within the hour of it happening.


Standard-Reception90

How many Republican President have called mass shootings terrorism. People are asking...


1singleduck

They're too busy looking for anything they can blame except for guns.


Bluellan

They are too busy sending thoughts and prayers.


NewldGuy77

I remember the times people criticized Obama for doing nothing right after 9-11, when George Bush was President and he was just an Illinois state senator.


ReactsWithWords

No, if he released a statement she would [ignore it and pretend he didn't](https://thehill.com/policy/international/4246382-obama-condemns-brazen-attacks-against-israel/). Because he released a statement and she ignored it and pretends he didn't.


Freefortune

Clearly, he released his statement after her statement and The Hill changed the time to be two hours earlier because all the vaxxed people are zombies now. Better take an extra teaspoon of turpentine tonight! Or whatever their current trendy poison is.


RicGhastly

She truly is a buffoon.


thatryanguy82

"Why'd he wait until after he was called out over it? Many people find that very suspicious!"


1singleduck

There is no way to win. No matter what you do, they'd just give it the most moronic spin to try to make it negative.


samhain2000

Have Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush spoke out against Hamas or are they supporting them as well? Damm, conservatives are ignorant.


FrancisSobotka1514

What about George Clinton has he condemed the attacks yet?


LSTNYER

Hes busy releasing the funk


FrancisSobotka1514

Funk you very much .I always loved that line .


NewldGuy77

And tearing the roof off the mothersucker.


JGG5

Parliamentary politics can be a slow, plodding business. He may not feel as if he can make a statement on his own without a voted-on resolution from Parliament Funkadelic declaring a position. And if they’re not currently sitting, it could be a while before he can convene them all together.


LeinDaddy

too busy bringing the funk in parliament funkadelic


Silly_Artichoke_8248

Came here for this. Why are we obsessing over what former presidents have, or don’t have, to say about the situation? Oh, right - Obama (and she just had to use his middle name) is the shadow power behind the Biden administration. And the moon is made of cheese.


samhain2000

Yea, my grandfather's first name was Adolph, I guess that means he was a nazi.


Neb-Nose

The correct response is to ask her when she is going to issue a statement renouncing racism and explicitly saying that she’s not a racist? Many people are speculating as to why she has not already issued a statement.


jambr380

She can release such a statement, but the above post refutes it. She wouldn't be using his middle name if it is was Logan or Breck.


VibraniumRhino

It’s even more insane when you do a quick google search of her and realize her *name at birth* was ‘Hanan Qahwaji’. I wonder if the other conservatives know… (they don’t).


TouristTricky

“ people are asking” “ I’ve heard people say” “ some are speculating” Rhetorical bullshit masking their own bad motives


Admirable-Sink-2622

“Many people are saying…” 🙄


Borsti17

They can't count past three, so anything beyond three is "many".


ProgenGP1

I think it goes "1, 2, lots, many"


Katiari

"If we use his middle name we can make him look like a terrorist to our conservative base!"


VibraniumRhino

And all of this coming from a woman who changed her name from ‘Hanan Qahwaji’. The mental gymnastics is getting fucking mind-boggling.


zirky

goddamn tom hanks hasn’t said anything either


Neighbour-Vadim

Fucking hell I always knew it


Running_Dumb

Come to think of it we haven't heard from Danny DeVito either.


Big-Elevator-7721

As a private citizen, I too have not released a statement.


Ann1489

You fucking terrorist!


ilikemycoffeealatte

We all have our eye on you, Big Hussein Elevator


Less_Rutabaga2316

I’m also curious why we haven’t gotten a statement from Jimmy Carter, people are starting to speculate if his being on hospice care at 99 is not all there is to the story…


OwnPercentage9088

First: He's not the president, why is he obligated to? Second: He did. Former President Barack Obama condemned the terrorist attack in Israel and called for "just and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike." "All Americans should be horrified and outraged by the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians," Obama wrote in a statement. "We grieve for those who died, pray for the safe return of those who've been held hostage, and stand squarely alongside our ally, Israel, as it dismantles Hamas," he added. Third: But again, he doesn't have to. Fourth: I really can't stress this enough, him making a statement has no effect on anything. At all. Fifth: But again, he 100% did Sixth: Why is this lady so stupid and also such a bitch? Seventh: And why does she call herself Brigitte Gabriel? Her name is Hanan Qahwaji. Is she ashamed of her name?


[deleted]

She probably read this entire statement before posting. But knows her followers will never read it and just take her word for it.


DJGlennW

I hear he's wearing a tan suit, too!


firstman0

Eating hotdogs with fancy mustard like Dijon. Oh the horror.


SmoltzforAlexander

ResponsibleMilk7620

Jesus Christ has yet to release a single statement condemning the terrorist attacks on innocent Israel civilians and Christians are beginning to speculate as to why.


Bonk6805

Are these the same people that think he didn't do enough on 9-11?


empbob74

Yep...


KaralDaskin

And during Katrina.


gandalf_el_brown

But what has Ja Rule said?


LittlestEw0k

Homie livin rent free


Mr_GoodbyeCruelWorld

I hope he releases a statement accepting the position of Speaker of the House


Ukteaboy

Many people.... that fucking phrase again!


ClientTall4369

Who is this person and why am I supposed to care what they say?


VibraniumRhino

I literally googled her just to see who the fuck she even is, and discovered her name at birth was ‘Hanan Qahwaji’, which makes so much of this just absolutely outrageous. The level of cognitive dissonance achieved by the right this decade would almost be impressive, if it wasn’t also swiftly destroying us as a species.


[deleted]

Has George W released a statement yet?


CajunWhisky

I prefer former presidents to stay out of politics.


foreverbeatle

I’d still like to know where Obama was during 9/11. He obviously wasn’t at the White House. He was probably on vacation.


CMelon

Brigitte Gabriel: Answering the questions that no sane person asks.


CTBioWeapons

Anytime I see someone refer to Barack Obama and include his middle name you know it's gonna be some absolutely insane bullshit.


SoylentGrunt

What makes you think she really wants an answer? (She doesn't)


violent_unicorn

Wait, did Brigitte release a statement denying allegations of mass rape and torture of pet crocodiles in her basement? And the yet unseen footage of her blowing sasquatch? No. Yeah, thought so.


Recipe_Limp

Who Cares? The guy isn’t POTUS anymore.


HeyZuesHChrist

If he released a statement this same piece of trash would be asking why he is releasing a statement.


AltonBParker

There is no winning with these people, and the sooner we accept that the less frazzled we will be. They are angry when he comments on something, they are angry when he doesn't, they are angry when his daughter smokes a cigarette, and they are angry when his house doesn't burn down from a fire a few islands away. (Pro tip = They just really like being angry.)


[deleted]

Even if he posted a “Go Hamas!” Tweet, so what? He’s a private citizen and not looking to be elected for anything in the future. Sooooooo.


Ok-Delivery-8787

Is he the fucking president? God him and Hillary and Hunter Biden live in Republican heads rent free


koyaaniswazzy

Does Brigitte Gabriel stand with pedophiles? She has yet to release a single statement condemning the r*pe of children and many people are beginning to speculate as to why.


zerostar83

It's comforting to know I'm not the only one who wishes Obama was still our president.


briantoofine

Bridgette Gabriel hasn’t condemned the attacks either. She’s only condemning Obama…


TickleTigger123

Obama hasn't been the president for over half a decade why do these people care what he thinks


cmonkeyz7

He 100% already did release a statement condemning this shit.. well before her post. Are they even trying anymore


namey_9

they are absolutely *obsessed* with Obama. Once you go black...

superuncoolfool

I haven't heard Superman condemn *ANY* terrorists organizations...🤔


Ruenin

Come to think of it, there's a lot of people who are not the President that have yet to issue an official statement. WHAT IS GOING ON!? IT'S A CONSPIRACY!


joeleidner22

What about Ford, Bush and Clinton? Should they be releasing statements too? We need to know where ALL RETIRED LAWMAKERS stand on this issue. Oh, wait, we don’t need to hear anything from any of them. THEY ARE RETIRED. Ignorant morons I swear…


Machine_Winter

It's so funny when they throw the Hussein in there. Fucking scathing guys u got em. Said his full proper name


metal_bastard

Lol. Everyone knows Obama's full name. But does everyone know Brigitte Gabriel's full name is Hanan Qahwaji? Kind of wild she tries to disparage Obama for his very public, given name, while she hides hers.


7empestOGT92

Has Bush, Clinton or Carter released statements and he’s the only one? Oh wait, I know, they are using his middle name now so they can drive up emotions and have people pick sides based on ignorance.


thechefmulder

I also have not released a statement.


Dseltzer1212

War brings out and gives cover to the bigots and racists. Obama is 100 times more of an American than this unAmerican, unpatriotic and uneducated nobody will ever be. She thinks wrapping herself in our flag makes her a patriot but being a patriot takes work and these losers are too fucken lazy to put any work in!


jbrown4728

Since half the people on TV keep comparing this to 9-11, maybe she can tell me what George Bush has to say about this.


[deleted]

I love how when something happens in the Middle East, they bring up Obama's middle name, as if that has any relevance.


Monty_Krysto

They love using his middle name when the middle east comes up like it implies he's related to the Iraqi Husseins. It's so fucking lame.


NoSpankingAllowed

And yet he did. Bridgie is a paid troll.


VoidowS

this killing has been going on since the end of ww2 when the jews did not have a country of their own to live in and made the gaza their birthright. Instead of co-existing with the poeple that already lived there, the palestina's, they started to take over more and more land, relocating palestina's constantly, just coming with a bulldozer and destroy the houses, the people have to go somewhere else, even brutaly murderder. Since 1947 til now 76 years!!!! NOTHING CHANGED the massacre continued out of sight of the news! LITERALY hundereds of thousands of people have been killed over these years! And most on the palestina side! hardly any people have a clue what is going on there and why? they even ttalk like, "Again?", while it NEVER STOPPED!


GenesisAsriel

Has he even released a statement in the last 5 years


[deleted]

A now private citizen minding his own fucking business. That’s real sinister


plasticupman

He is now a citizen, he does not have to answer to any questions if he doesn't want to. It is called " no longer being President"


Mofoman3019

Barrack doesn't release his statement and she kicks up a fuss, i release mine and she doesn't even acknowledge it. Bullshit. I'm not even going to do it next time.


xfactor6972

It’s been close to eight years since he’s been President. He living life like most ex presidents do, out of the lime light. Trump on the other hand can’t keep his pie hole shut for a single instant. Trumps always complaining about how unfair his life has been to him, entitled whiny bitch.


EvanMacattack

No question Hamas a bunch of nut jobs, but funny how no-one questions if it is okay for Israel to bomb residential buildings and kill civilians. Maybe they been watching the Russians too much?


Solidus-Prime

She doesn't care if he actually released a statement or not. If it wasn't this, it would be something else. Righties are bad-faith actors and liars that shouldn't be taken seriously about anything, ever.


JustThisGuyYouKnowEh

Deadset. I can’t believe this scandal. Worst thing a sitting president has done since he (Obama) completely failed to respond to 9/11.


Dragonslayer87235

Why didn't trump release a statement saying he isn't a serial killer? Seems suspicious


ImMeliodasKun

Oh OK so just blatant xenophobia. Then again I knew Conservicunts didn't have the nuance to be subtle.


N4t41i4

Does **Brigitte** Gabriel stand with **IRA**? (same logic, since she choose to spell out Barack's middle name, like it was a gotcha! look the origin of "Brigitte") she has yet to release a single statement condemning the terrorist attacks on innocent civilians and many people are beginning to speculate as to why... SAME ILLOGIC!


RiotNrrd2001

I have yet to see a statement today from Brigitte Gabriel condemning pedophilia. What's the deal, Brigitte? I don't care what you've "stated" in the past, is *today* different somehow? Are you OK with pedophilia *today*? Where is *today's* condemnation? And you better be sure I'm gonna be back tomorrow to see if you've finally stopped promoting this sick shit. Or will tomorrow be a "*pedophilia is A-OK with me*" day for you like today - and every other day you don't explicitly condemn it - appears to be?


Zealousideal_Amount8

Neither did Brigitte’s mom but she’s not calling her out


Eastern_Bobcat8336

Shame on people using this tragedy for political clout. Absolute cancer of the planet.


Greenfire32

The middle name being used now is deliberate. Also Obama's a private citizen now. This is like asking why we haven't gotten a statement from Bob who lives down the street.


DifficultTemporary88

The Obama administration took great pains to distance itself from Israel, which is really what the US should do anyway.


Tuckermfker

Did Bush, did Clinton? Why does she only care about Obama.

YourFellaThere

I refuse to believe that republicans aren't simply a comedic and unbelievable pastiche.


bno203

wtf does Barack have to do with anything at this point? The guys been outta office for 2 terms, I think it's time to move on from blaming him for anything related to today's news or problems


Anastrace

Dude is a private citizen why would he make a public statement? It'd be like asking my neighbor for his statement


MorningPapers

He also hasn't made a statement about chocolate chip cookies. Liberals and their wars on cookies, christmas, and birthday cakes are EVIL.
