Am I missing something or is the "Obama surveillance" scandal essentially the exact same thing as the Fake Trump Russia scandal?

Like wouldn't any in depth expose of the surveillance also turn up whatever the content of the surveillance was - meaning Trump or his buddies talking to Russia?

Trump walking out on the executive signing reminds me of a scene from naked gun or something lol.

The US elected a President who can't be bothered to attend security briefings, and instead uses Fox News as his primary source of information.

I mean, the whole world has been joking about dumb Americans since forever. But this is beyond a joke.

Go forward from there. Some of the calls must have been recorded because there are some cringeworthy direct quotes in there.

We're not trying to convince him, we're using him as a warning to others to not support the GOP by mocking him.

I feel like growing up with the Internet might have given my generation a bit more insight into how ****ing stupid that is.

You said yesterday tax reform (you meant cuts by your response I think it is fair to say) was the big litmus test for you.

In the past I think you've said trade is big because the area you are from has been decimated by US trade policies. I could be wrong, it might've been a different Midwestern Trumper.

Well now that Trump appears to be a paper tiger on NAFTA, what do you think of that? You can respond that it's still early to make a judgement on how much he will effect trade, but I think it is pretty clear it is just going to be nibbling at margins. Wilbur Ross and Gary Cohn aren't populists.

She might not have social media accounts and this is the only way for her to communicate over the internet.

awval, you personally voted for him. You preferred him to Clinton. To take you at your word where the only thing you care about is middle class tax reform, that means you soberly and 5 on AP calculusly weighed the cons:

1) Open white supremacy
2) Muslim ban
3) Mass deportations
4) Deregulation of industry
5) Widespread corruption
6) Sexual assault confessions
7) Repeal of Obamacare

vs.
the pros

1) IDK maybe like $600-$800? Definitely not more than a grand.

and you confidently, enthusiastically, pulled the lever for The Donald. After spending months crying like a little ***** whenever anyone insulted him or hurt his feelings(whoops really should've had the self control to avoid that if you wanted to play "view from 10,000 feet"-man after the election).
and says "yep, Fly nailed it". awval admits to caring only about a few hundred bucks for himself. The presidency means nothing more to him than that. Take that away and he'll send Trump, the guy he voted for, to the guillotines. What vile selfishness.

Conservatives are basically solipsists. This is not news.

Lol awval999 doesn't make 100k a year. You guys are funny. I guarantee you he makes less than 60k. From all his posting you can tell he's a PB & J boy. Lol.

The **** is wrong with PB&J? I'd have myself the occasional PB&J if I had Jay-Z money.

he's a pharmacist that works in a hospital and gets paid per pill he dispenses, apparently. otherwise idk why he would want to deregulate the health care industry. seems to me the only reason pharmacists exist is because of government regulations on the healthcare industry

i'm imagining a world where trump was more competent, maybe alongside Trump University, Trump Pharmacy would be a thing? like a place that sells various kinds of drugs, but isn't technically a "pharmacy" the way everybody else uses the term. if the job at Trump Pharmacy is available to awall999 for a few thousand more per year, i guess he'd take it, because he feels he has zero ethical responsibility to anyone else in society. hey, those people should have done their research and they would realize our pills are for entertainment purposes only

Anywho, el Presidente is tripling down on the Obama surveillance thing on Twitter this morning:




Wouldn't it be neat if he had some kind of source for this knowledge other than a cable news channel? Maybe even like a source that could actually look into classified info. Someone should work on setting that up.
This is supposed to be the biggest, most important, most pressing issue facing the Trump admin today. If you are Trump and you know something, you take action to plug the leak. If you know nothing, you take it to twitter.

Just had to argue a bit with a supporter who told me "No way Russia has any sex tapes on Trump because he's a germophobe, and Ivanna also confirmed that as a fact."

I wasn't swayed.

Urine is sterile, FWIW.

I've never tried a PEE and BJ but I'm down as long as there is an ample containment unit and the shemale looks at least 85% female.

given your expressed view here, what do you think of the Resistence:activism thread in this forum where we are encouraged to call our congresscritters all the time?

As far as I'm concerned, anyone still supporting Trump at this point is a deplorable and among the lowest dregs of society. I am under no illusion that I can convince him to change his mind.
