Obama's Personal Chef Drowns in a Pond on Obama's Luxurious Estate; <br><i>Based on Footprints to and From the Pond, Police Are Looking Into Two Suspects, Or One Suspect With Four Feet</i>

Obama's Personal Chef Drowns in a Pond on Obama's Luxurious Estate;
Based on Footprints to and From the Pond, Police Are Looking Into Two Suspects, Or One Suspect With Four Feet

Okay that last part wasn't true.

Former President Barack Obama's personal chef has drowned near the family's home on Martha's Vineyard.
Massachusetts State Police confirmed that the paddleboarder whose body was recovered from Edgartown Great Pond on Monday was Tafari Campbell, 45, of Dumfries, Virginia.

Martha's Vinyard allowed a minority to stay on the island? Was he slated to be evacuated to the closest Army base, or had they not noticed him yet?

Campbell was employed by the Obamas and was visiting Martha's Vineyard. The Obamas were not present at the home at the time of the accident.

Sure.

Speaking of gay.

9 I assure you that he committed suicide after Obama let Hillary know that Obama's chef had some evidence which would lead to the arrest and conviction of Hillary and Bill Clinton....

It was clearly suicide.

Or are we really going with the story that a guy who couldn't swim well went out on a paddleboard, then drowned instead of just hanging onto said paddleboard?

The gang breaks into a random family's home to steal back a vase that they think is some ancient artifact. While Dennis, Frank and Dee are in the house, Charlie and Mac keep lookout from the street.

They see a guy approach the house and Charlie radios to them that the man appears to have pointy feet.

Mac yells out, "Those are cowboy boots!"

All joking aside, that's easy to do. People like to camp in dry washes because they're usually sandy, not so rocky. But the problem is that if it's raining - maybe many miles away, up in the mountains - the wash will suddenly flood. And I mean a tsunami rushing downhill with zero warning.

It's why you never camp in a dry wash.

I know the Secret Service is pretty lax about allowing people to jump the WH fence and enter the property, and about letting kilos of cocaine end up scattered around the residence; but I didn't think that they would just let the Chocolate Messiah's Presidential Palace be the venue for casual murder and body dumping.

Those salt water ponds in New England are not really ponds like we normally think about. They come and go with the tides and can get huge and deep quickly.

Only took his cell phone.
Not his wallet.
Didn't rough him up.

Kind of like a merchant marine sailor in WWII on the arctic convoys... yeah, drowning was the final straw but the cardiac arrest from the drop into freezing water first; or the burns from the oil on board the sinking ship would have done the job too.

This guy drowned... but would he have died anyway if he'd been on on land? What stopped this good swimmer from swimming to safety?

231 Did you all know it's worse to down in salt water than it is in fresh?

The seawater, being similar to your blood in salinity keeps your capillaries from bursting.
So you "breathe" multiple times and _some_ oxygen is exchanged, for a bit, before you pass out.

In fresh, they burst almost immediately, no O2 exchange and you pass out quicker.

Cool, hig?

260 Not much on the drowning over at DU, but this: Martha's Vinyard allowed a minority to stay on the island? reminded me of good news story they're crying over.

Fifth bus carrying migrants sent from Texas arrives in downtown LA...44 migrants onboard from Mexico, Colombia, China, Haiti, Honduras, Peru and Venezuela. Fourteen of them are children between 2 to 14 years old.

The usual pattern is to hire a recruiter to entice the migrants to board the buses voluntarily with false offers of housing, work or expedited advancement of their status. Several of these migrants have asylum applications in process, which may be disrupted by the move. It's a variation of the reverse freedom rides trick from the 1960s.

Confiscate the buses! See how many bus and airplane companies want to cooperate after that.

Send them to Vermont. Housing is a bit scarce in some places, but we definitely need the help. They'd be more than welcomed.

Sending them across the desert in 100+ temps. Lord have mercy.

Police describe the sets of footprints as one, a man in sandals, must have been at least 180 lbs, due to the depth of the prints.

The other, someone wearing loafers, likely a man, due to the size of the prints. Those seemed to have been quite a bit lighter, however.

Maybe medical issues? A heart attack or stroke while out on the water alone would be bad. I was talking to an older guy who had a pacemaker installed, that apparently also has a defibrillator function. Said he was warned about going into water and pools because, if he had issues and it went off, he could be unconscious (nothing mentioned about shocking, as I expected).

Said it only went of twice, both while being "intimate" with his wife...the first time shocked her, too. Nice of a stranger at a convention to share this with me lol

If he's winding down, then it's one of the most uneventful major also rans in living memory. Hardly any actual infighting between him and the frontrunner, only a few minor spats on Twitter that no one remembers the details of, especially no one outside the super-connected.

I actually don't think it'll have been a terrible result. I doubt he's spent too much of his money. He's gotten his name out there at the same level as Trump in people's minds to some degree, and he steps back with the assumption that he's just waiting for his turn in 2028 without having pissed off anyone to such a degree that he'll lose major support. From a tactical point of view, I think he did alright.

370 I actually don't think it'll have been a terrible result. I doubt he's spent too much of his money. He's gotten his name out there at the same level as Trump in people's minds to some degree, and he steps back with the assumption that he's just waiting for his turn in 2028 without having pissed off anyone to such a degree that he'll lose major support. From a tactical point of view, I think he did alright.

458 303 283 The guy was married with two kids?

And really, quite a sad tragedy. It's easy pickin's to mock the Obamas, but this seems just some sort of stupid tragedy.

Very sad for his family.

I am sure they were quite proud of him being a personal chef to the Obamas.

I would suppose it would be a huge shock to have this tragedy happen then have the public mock it.

They probably don't read this site.

459 Not to be too literal, but there's a talented tenth outpost on Martha's Vineyard, and there's some kind of historical connection between MV and Cape Verde, which supplies a lot of the handymen, etc.

The big question is, are any of the illegals flown there being kept as a Chauncy Gardner-type servant ....

460 "Fifth bus carrying migrants sent from Texas arrives in downtown LA...44 migrants onboard from Mexico, Colombia, China, Haiti, Honduras, Peru and Venezuela. Fourteen of them are children between 2 to 14 years old."

Forty-four?! That's practically enough to capsize the state!

The burden in that number of heroic red-state refugees is truly catastrophic.

461 So you want to paddleboard, but you can’t swim. If you’re going to pass on a PFD just in case, you’d at least expect the guy to grab the board. You know, use something that floats.

It really doesn’t pass the smell test. The story just has too many holes in it.

462 Many ponds and rivers in New England carry death curses such as the Saco River; Horn Pond in Woburn, MA; Nevertouch Pond in Middleboro, MA... The Charles River in the Brighton section of Boston has been known to turn blood red and during the American Revolution, there was a huge abattoir in Brighton, from which they obtained the beef to feed Washington's troops. The blood from the cattle flowed down the canal in the Market Street area right into the Charles and it left a psychic hangover...

464 He had fresh water in his lungs

A slight issue with this fucking nuthouse.
Are you bullshitting to be cute, like we so often do?
Because if that is a fact, it's...significant.

It would all be just cute, except I'm pretty well convinced some of you actually believe what you read here, if you even care.

465 I am sue the secret service would have video surveillance of the pond to monitor the approach to the estate. Just check the video.

Maybe from a considerable distance, or expected the guy to resurface.
