lol at Scarborough, has this guy been living in America for the past year or what? The nexus between Brietbart/AM radio/degenerate right wing swamp fever stuff and the federal government is now complete.

So basically this whole ****storm is Trump trying to draw attention away from Russia.

I guess we're blinded because we expect the president to have more information that we don't know about but the chronology of how the idea of Obama tapping phones came about was it originated in the right wing fever swamps that couldn't know whether or not Obama wiretapped, Breitbart published it, and then Trump read it.

Well, I guess I'm dead wrong that there would be no Congressional investigations into the Russian business. I definitely did not see coming that we would have dozens of hearings to investigate Obama.

They of course got help from similarly short-sighted careless business leaders, civic leaders, and politicians who had the same mix of desires to enrich themselves at any cost and then aggrandize the worst impulses of the marks they were scamming from, or leading, or whatever.

Obviously Trump ****s up consistently and then flails around looking for a scapegoat, but I mean his tens of millions of voters think they're not yet millionaires because of illegal immigrants, welfare queens and foreign aid so what really can we say about Trump that isn't shared by tens of millions of his voters.

Pretty early on a nice Sunday for this level on condescension. But hey, when it is coming from a privileged upper middle-class white male and Hillary apologist, could I really expect anything else?

There is no way to characterize Trump voters without using some combination of ignorant, stupid, greedy, and bigoted.

Even on the day of our Lord.

I don't have anyone on ignore but Hasten is on the ole informal auto-ignore where I just scroll on past since 90% of his posts are like ikes, just cries for attention that are borne out of his hurt feelings about something or other. I suppose he's correct that I am being condescending but believe me, if I don't care about white Trump voters feelings there's little chance I'm going to muster any sympathy for Hasten****ingdan's hurt fee fees. And I just scroll on by which is what we all should do, but YMMV.

And Dan is right; with its dramatic and elongated pronouncement before the rhythm kicks in, this is a song about evil portents."

If you take out the word Hillary, the fact is this applies 10x more to Dan and is all projection.

Goddamit I really hate Spicey. He's the court jester of this twisted kleptocracy. Willing to lie and deceit just to remain near the throne. What a hack.

In justifying calls for an investigation of Barry, Trump cited, you guessed it, ANONYMOUS SOURCES

As I understand it, Spicey had a decent reputation in the business before signing up for this job. Seems like a terrible career move, but maybe he was just blinded by the allure of being close to the POTUS.

Spicey is also doing two jobs, both of which are beyond full time. He has to be on the verge of a mental breakdown working for this abusive dope.

I'm not even American, but turning an investigation into espionage by a foreign power into partisan politics seems to be borderline treasonous.
Shame on republicans who are going along with this madness.

So, not much like scapegoater-in-chief Adolf Hitler. And not much like Ike's successor Donald Trump either.

Any history buff that knows how Churchill handled the failed Gallipoli campaign?

Hard to imagine trump's phone wasn't tapped at least by about every foreign agency since it's just an unsecured android. 2nd tweet I believe was an obama quote, but that's super grasping at straws. Not that he cares ofc.
