I think snopes debunked this.

President Donald Trump took to Twitter in the middle of the House Intelligence Committee’s hearing on Russian interference in the 2016 election to cherry-pick a few moments that cast his administration in a positive light

With all that is going on in the world and across our country, doesn’t our so-called President have better things to do with his time?

The willingness of Drumpf and his cabal to bald-facedly lie is breathtaking. And not in a good way.

Surely you jest.

I can debunk it without even looking at Snopes. Fox News was not even close to being the arbitrer of Republican thoughts in 1998 that it became in the 2000s. It only started in 1996 and there was no way anyone would be citing Republicans listening to Fox in 98. Not even Donald Trump.

You’re not focusing on what was in his heart!

So, did they debunk the whole thing — or just the year? Swap 2008 for 1998 and it’s believable.

Don’t worry. The President (Bannon) is working on things. The “useful idiot” Trump is free to Tweet his brains out.

After the robust bitch-slapping Donnie got today, if I were North Korea, I’d be very worried about Hair Furor’s next move.

I know I am…

Trump never said that.

President Donald Trump took to Twitter…to cherry-pick a few moments that cast his administration in a positive light, while ignoring the most damning revelations from the morning.

So in other words just a typical tweet, or any other public statement for that matter, from Donald.

Has anyone noticed the part where the President of the United States is watching TV and rage-tweeting rather than doing his goddamned job? You know, the job that all of his predecessors have found to be an all-consuming 12-18 hour a day grind because of all the important shit they have to learn about before making hard decisions?

But at this point, we just have to be grateful he’s not running the country, I guess.

Yeah when I first read this I thought it was in the middle of some meeting that Donald was involved in where he should have been paying attention. This time it wasn’t, but probably that’s usually what he doing in meetings he “attending”.

That’s right. Wondered about that date. OTOH, it IS what Trump thinks.

well, i mean, totally false shit is what the for-now POTUS traffics in, so a false attribution seems perfectly appropriate. and whether or not he said it, the underlying claim is 100% true.

Why should the fact that it’s been debunked prevent us from recycling it endlessly? You need to learn from the example President Laughingstock is setting.

As angry as I was at Comey releasing the stupid letter about “her e-mails,” I have gained an immense amount of respect for his professionalism and responses today. He has answered in a transparent fashion hundreds of questions, as has Admiral Rogers. And he has demonstrated remarkable patience with idiots like Trey Gowdy. Bravo.

Oh ffs, Gowdy again. He is so condescending and pompous.

Meanwhile, Trump is already tweeting lies about what has been said. How on earth do you counter someone who lies every single time they speak?
