See that tweet about "sources say" is exactly why I'd write an article using his quotes but attribute them all to sources say. Troll that buffoon.

A tweet like that is so insanely dangerous in my mind. That's an actual direct attack on our democracy.

Everyone on Trump's side keeps taking liars' word on things. This is an entire administration who won't even admit a typo, do they seriously expect them to say "I treasoned at the meeting."?

Yet a whopping 85% of stupid, dumb, naive, or idiotic, and corrupt, dishonest scumbag Republicans are on board according to the newest poll on Morning Joe.

And exactly how many of these attacks on behalf of a blackmailing Russian dictator should we tolerate?

They are literally grabbing pieces of our country and the President is helping them as best he can. EDIT: Not many people realize exactly how widespread the hacking infiltration is right now. If you doubt me, try listing the known ones and who they are against. 12 nuclear power plants is not exactly a report that should be buried this last week.

And we're supposed to worry about healthcare and jobs that won't even exist in a few months??

**** this.

How long until we start seeing convenient murders deaths of Trump's political opponents? I think it's closer than we imagine.

These guys can't make Hillary Clinton look bad without entrapping themselves in federal crime investigations. How are they going to pull off murders?

Being backed by the Kremlin helps a little. They have limited experience with the subject.

Nobody is handing Eric Trump a knife.

EDIT: Who knows? Vladimir Putin may decide one day that Donald Trump's biggest political enemy is Donald Trump.

No idea, but Putin has people murdered and he's still there. I'd always regarded it as unfathomable that the US could ever end up like that somewhere down the line, but now I'm not so sure.

Hey Don, wanna off some of your dad's political opponents? I know a guy. To be clear, I mean a real gruesome one, perhaps we'll involve their children and pets to make sure it looks just terrible and really inhumane.

Would love to, especially later this summer. I'll bring Jared and Bannon.

Does anyone else not feel like the moment the stock market has a pullback that is the moment many of these reluctant trump supporters jump and his approval numbers go to 25? Money rules many of these people. They have gotten very used to seeing larger statements, having a bad quarter would be terrible for trump imo.

Trump would much rather rub it in your face then whack it off so he'd lock them up first.

Trump with a good reminder when trump or fox news says they have sources, they are making them up.

After lying about any meetings at all taking place for over a year and only releasing e-mails because NYT asked them about it first before reporting it--give them full credit for being transparent.
07-12-2017 , 08:09 AM
Even then, Don Jr would be the real victim according to Fox.

When we got there, we shot a bunch of pillows dressed up to look like Rachel Maddow.

Nothing happened at this supposed "murder" scene.

Trump's personal war against anonymous sources is refreshing, almost charming. A broken clock is right twice a day and all that. His criticism of the media's complete overuse of anonymous sources when many of them are simply tawdry gossip and/or probably entirely invented and fictional is actually a very valid criticism of the modern media environment. I appreciate that he's blunt about it too. This is sincere appreciation. Far too often journalism critics give the media way, way too much benefit of the doubt with their use of anonymous sources and blunt the criticism to the point no one understands the real downsides to the practice.

It does without saying for Trump that it's not principled at all but it's his one little crusade I can get behind with some different voice that wasn't Trump.

It beats me why stock markets are so high (inc in the UK), but they seem to be more weakly correlated to GDP projections and political unrest that you'd think. I've got a lot invested in equities as it's hard to know how to invest with bond yields so insanely low, but I'm expecting that the time will come where I wonder why the **** I kept so much in equities. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking this!

BTW, let's get it on the record so that Trumpists understand: Espionage at this level is so much worse than a murder or two.
07-12-2017 , 08:31 AM
Good morning! Whats in the news today? Oh, the President of the United States is tweeting out the Washington Times as if they are a credible news source and battling the 4th estate by claiming that all anonymous sources are fake?

Welp, back to bed.

Take with a gain of salt because it's anonymous sources close to the investigation but...

Quote:
Congressional and Justice Department investigators are focusing on whether Trump’s campaign pointed Russian cyber operatives to certain voting jurisdictions in key states – areas where Trump’s digital team and Republican operatives were spotting unexpected weakness in voter support for Hillary Clinton, according to several people familiar with the parallel inquiries.

Yes, this almost certainly happened. Like, the Trump team analytics consultant Analytica or whatever it was named was ****ing bragging about it toward the end of the campaign.

I mean sure we attempted murder but that's hardly a crime now is it?

Do you guys wake up with an elevated heart-rate every day now?


Also, can one of you take a deep breath and explain in a calm and civilized manner why anyone should care about this particular e-mail scandal?

A guy that runs a PR firm claims to have someone with dirt on Clinton's ties with Russia and sets up a meeting at Trump tower. Those claims turn out to be false, and now it's being used as "proof" that Trump colluded directly with the Kremlin?

Nobody sees how extreme these leaps in logic are? Do you really not understand why the average voter is rolling her eyes at how absurd this whole circus has become?
lol

First two comments on Fox and friends, fans on Facebook.


I know we have Freedom of the press but there has GOT to be some kind of consequence for journalists reporting FAKE stories. It's getting ridiculous!!!


I am so sick of this unending Democratic witch hunt. There are so many issues between Hillary and the Russians, issues that are fully documented, recorded, filmed, ALL totally ignored, while the media, and dozens of foolhardy Democrats, waste time and money chasing after rumors and fairytales.

You want me to care - start following up on HER criminal acts! Until THAT happens I've had it with them.

Sorry for referring to Kristol in a non hateful manner.
