Discussion: Following Fox News’ Lead, President Tweets About ‘BOMBSHELL’ FBI Texts

Hmmmm, yes but we all know his pattern historically, the difference is he got away with it in the private sector and this is whole other ball game.

In case you’re wondering what new angles of batshit conspiracy contra-factual counter-narrative they’re developing by flirting with unauthorized release of classified information:

Why do I have this sinking feeling that this feedback loop between fox n’ friends and the Friend in chief is going to lead somewhere very, very bad…

I’m thinking Caligula declaring war on the sea and ordering his legions to collect seashells as booty. That level of madness which is not sustainable. Eventually a palace revolution will occur.

In reality it is. But in his world there may not be much difference—it’s all a strenuous effort to be perceived in the absurd grandiose way he needs, and a quest to get revenge on anyone who laughed at or opposed him. National security, the welfare of the populace, preservation of a republic handed down over centuries? Pfft. That is literally nothing to him. So it’s not keeping him up nights. I think we overestimate his ability to care about that sort of thing. He’s worried about the investigations, but he just retreats into fantasy with them too. So it’s possible we may never see him get swallowed up and have some sort of breakdown. It’s possible we may. But it doesn’t look inevitable to me right now. I wish it did.

I’ve identified your point of confusion.

Nobody knows where the crazy train is heading, least of all Yertle, Ryan, or the RNC.

All we need to do is to take over Faux and Friends and put our android replacements in .

The Dreamers are fine young people…
I think it’s time we stopped with the threats and negotiated with North Korea…
We think that Putin guy is really bad and It’s time someone investigated Russian interference…
Democrats have some reasonable proposals that will be good for the country…

This whole line of reasoning is “nuckin futs.” You hire oppo research to find real dirt on your adversaries. Something you didn’t know but you can use in your campaign. The last thing you want to do is feed your oppo research team information you already have.

My takeaway is that the key to removing Donald Trump from office is far simpler than imagined: Take over Fox News and embed everything with subliminal messages to eat more cheeseburgers. Heart disease and cholesterol will do the rest…

I am still trying to understand the “logic” behind the Russians and Hillary conspiring to throw the election to Trump. Just how does that work?

Well they know that two words will send their little supporters into frenzies: Sidney Blumenthal.

Been that way for years.

@ronbyers - well it simply doesn’t work.

“More revelations today from the text message chain between FBI Agent Peter Strzok and his then-lover, FBI Attorney Lisa Page"

Of course Fox comes through with the archaic and patriarchal verbiage of “a MAN and his lover”, instead of two FBI agents having a relationship.

Faux News has so many built-in triggers that get the juices flowing for your basic trump cult members, including trump himself. Reminds me of this cartoon.

Hard sometimes to tell who’s playing who.

Well it’s gotta be a chore to tame that wild beast on his head every morning. It may need kenneling and feeding too.
