The sitting President accused his predecessor of a very specific crime, and went on to say that President Obama was “bad (or sick)!” Unless Trump can prove these allegations 100% (and he should have done so by now, since he was the one who made the charge), he is a liar. If the media does not hold Trump to this standard, they are not doing their job.
Frankly, the only two on that list I’m concerned about are Chaffetz and Nunes. They can singlehandedly shut down House participation in any real investigation into Trump’s claims or his myriad of other crimes.
Look at the resources and energy that are being wasted on this charlatan’s imbecilic rants.
@matthew_tanner “Look at the resources and energy that are being wasted on this charlatan’s imbecilic rants.”
True enough, including our own time and energy here. BUT, in the meantime what’s going on behind the scenes? A Massachusetts Congressman has been keeping an interesting (read, appalling) log of the GOP’s activities which is worth following: http://capuano.house.gov/news/curtain.shtml
Read it and weep/gnash/wail as is your wont.
With this list of fine upstanding Americans who seem to believe in “Truth,Justice and the Fascist Way”,how can we doubt them?
Go Capuano. This may be the best thing going on the internet! Thanks for posting.
There is no downside for Trunp. He correctly intuited his supporters unthinking allegience to Their Guy (5th Ave shooting a-ok). He tweets to keep that vein of sustanence wide open as he knows they will never now listen to media or DC-based reporting. The House cares only for The Base (AKA al Queda in a different langauge). The GOP Senate is a slim reed for the fate of the republic.
microwaves and television sets could, hypothetically, have been used to spy on the Trump campaign (The
Trump team later said the microwave comment was a joke).
I saw her make those claims. If, indeed, the microwave thing was meant as a joke, it once again proves that conservatives really don’t know how to do comedy.
I agree. Been meaning to get it out there for a couple of weeks now. Capuano is a breath of fresh air, even for a Dem.
Perhaps The “wire tap” was committed by the Russians as a tool to keep their lap dog on a leash.
So the wild claim that Pres. Obama wire tapped Trump during the campaign what did it accomplish? Did Donnie win the Presidency or is he tweet storming from home in Trump Tower as a private citizen? Is Pres. Clinton ignoring this?
I know on one hand this is serious douchbaggery being thrown at the former President, but on the other hand I believe this is just another douchbaggery claim that will be followed by more douchbaggery claims in the next four years. Donnie is like the chimps in the old style zoos that learned that if you throw your shit around the crowd is amused or horrified-but they’ll keep coming back for the next show.
“…he continues to allege that someone, somewhere was surveilling him.”
Psst, Donnie Dipshit, it’s the RUSSIANS! And they’re still surveilling you to be sure you do exactly as you’re told.
Trump is a simpleton with a few crossed wires rattling around in his head. That’s all this ever, obviously, was and is. In any other circumstances his family would be discussing ways to convince him that he might want to find a retirement home and make himself comfortable before things got really bad. We certainly wouldn’t be having a national discussion into whether or not a midnight delusion of his was real or not. See those names on that list? They’re cult followers. Levin or Hannity never had any credibility to begin with outside of the hardcore wingnut base, but if there was ever a reason to never bother acknowledging them or anybody who is actually still a fan of theirs - this should be it. They’re in Alex Jones territory now.
I know this won’t be easy, but my proposal would be to simply ignore all tweets and statements from this so-called “President”. Official actions, like EOs and signing legislation (the latter is unlikely to actually occur) should be paid attention to, of course, but tweets lack any legal standing and there is no reason to give them any.
I have the feeling there’s somebody headed to Florida AGAIN this weekend.
the majority of the sensations are painful.
Didn’t Sean Spicer say the same thing about the wire tap? It was a long while ago, the end of last week.
There is a very good reason why we can’t ignore what little Donnie says. Little Donnie was picked by the imbecile wing of our voters to be the President of the USA, with the ability to put a nuclear bomb, or many of them, on any target he decides to attack. That fact is known all over the world. For that reason every government on Earth pays attention to everything he communicates. Some governments will take preemptive action if he communicates a desire to attack them. That brown stuff we find we are stuck in isn’t chocolate.
