Gee, when he or she sees this, Yukky must feel like I used to when the radio announcer mentioned the name of my school as a snow-day closure. Makes it worth sitting through those boring indoctrination sessions, right?

Now just trace the payments made to those posting the fake news back to the Drumpf Crime Family, and life is good.

Well hell most conserative sites push fake news!

Wonder if Kelly will last longer than Donald? Puls I’m guessing Donald already know everything he says is a lie. I think the hard part will be to make him understand he doesn’t fool most people and that as president it matter, unlike being a cheesy game show host of bankrupt developer back by Russians that cover the bills.

Are you seriously suggesting that Trump actually paid a subcontractor or a vendor?

It might seem like a ludicrous hypothesis, but I wouldn’t be surprised about anything, anywhere, about the Drumpfster’s…

Not the sharpest knives in the drawer…

If he didn’t pay some vendors we’d be rid of him already, or:

One unnamed person briefed on the investigation told CNN the FBI’s operation was “right on the edge of Constitutional legality” because “we were monitoring news Fox News.”

FIFY!

Too little, too late. The Trump-Russia coordination had been highly visible for months, and Comey & co. were fixated on Hillary fucking emails. Ordinary members of the public, armed only with publicly available information, were shouting from the rooftops that something very wrong was afoot–starting with Trump’s unbudging, anomalous, and politically inexplicable loyalty to Russia from March 2016 onwards, which has still never been explained or properly investigated. The meetings in June 2016, or Wikileaks, or post-election meetings with Kislyak, all occurred against the backdrop of this pre-existing loyalty. The FBI missed it, to a large degree because it was scared of upsetting the GOP. These people failed our country.

The follow up question that I see, did the social media offensive match the micro-targeting data of the Trump campaign?

This is after he fired Ezra Cohen-Watnick. Has Bannon’s prints all over it.

I think what ncsteve was driving at, was Trump’s notorious record of stiffing vendors when the bill comes due.

In hindsight, I realize you were spot on as to what @ncsteve meant.

Time to recalibrate my snark meter, that one slipped right past…

D I think it is prudent to mine the record of Trumps statements in public at the time. It is likely he tipped his hand if the campaign was aware of this Russian offensive

Bullshit, the FBI was observing methods and means of a foreign government to hack our elections. It is called protecting the nation, morons.

Not if he can avoid it.

I’ll bet he’s paying Cobb a retainer up front and replenishing when it gets low. Turns out he’s paying the Moscow “hostesses” on the installment plan.
