Mr. McDonough is absolutely correct. A judgeās order is required to allow āwiretapping.ā Trump is lying, or delusional, or both.
He didnāt explain the " microwave in every room" order though ! ā
Reams of time wasted chasing down the drooling burps of a vulgarianā¦sad.
OMGāa factual and sane statementāthank you!
So, this is still a question, evenā¦
Trump is winning this fake news spat, just like he won the birth certificate issue. Obama has to think about suing him for defamation. That is, ask for a public retraction and apology, and if itās not forthcoming, bring his orange ass into court. He has to defend the integrity of the office of the president.
The GOP wouldnāt know the truth if it smacked them upside their weasel heads, and spit in their weasel faces.
Iād really like for Obama to file a libel lawsuit. I know it wonāt go anywhere, but just to get it on paper (and in the papers) that the only things stopping it is Trumpās status as president.
Sanity prevails, but then there is this angle:
There is a story in politics, commonly attributed
to Lyndon B. Johnson, about how LBJ wanted to circulate a rumor
attacking his opponent in a Texas election. Johnson, itās said, wanted
to spread the story that his opponent liked to have sex with barnyard
animals. One of LBJās aides said, āWe canāt prove heās a pig f----r.āāI know that,ā replied Johnson. āI just want to hear him deny it.ā
FFS enough already. Heās a crazy old man who yells at the TV on Twitter, a bunch of idiots elected him President, and now it matters what he says but we still have the power to say āthereās no basis to it, itās just delusional horseshit.ā But we donāt, as a society, because thatās too painful and embarrassing. Itās hard to admit to our collective selves that weāve elected a crazy idiot. So the argument goes on.
Reminds me of the story about Roveās start in politics.
He led the campaign team of a candidate for judge in Louisiana. The incumbent was a well-liked judge who had an especially good record on childrenās issues. Rove circulated the rumor that the judge was a pedophile.
Obama Chief Of Staff: The President āCan Not,ā 'Did Notā Order A Wiretap
ā¦and the fact that you have been chasing a Trump Breibart fever dream for the last two weeks proves to me your cognitive skills are impaired or you are out and out trying to ignore the Trump administrations complicit involvement with Russian FSB and Russian oligarchs
Anything that calls out Trumpās lies and causes him to wriggle on the floor like a live reptile gives me pleasure.
Now that McDonough has denied the claim, Trump will name-drop him as proof of his accusation during the next conservative outlet āinterviewā.
If Iām not mistaken, the timing went something like 1. President Obama gets a rock star welcome in NYC. 2. Trump decides he was wiretapped. That ego of his may be the death of all of us.
Trump: He is just WRONG. POTUS can order wiretap. I know, I have ordered so many that I cant keep track of. Its in millions.
I would like to hear a little more indignation and moral outrage in the denials, I admit. Still I understand it may be better to remain calm and cool in the face of this sort of craziness. But at least some sort of high-handed dismisiveness would seem to be in order:āIt is beneath the dignity of the office of the presidency to make such unfounded charges.ā Something like that
I remember those! I miss them.
And donāt forget the wasted money. Wonder how much all this is costing us? But the NEA and NEH, now thatās real profligacy!
