Discussion: Trump Advisor: No, I Don't Believe Our Campaign Headquarters Are Bugged

Really? Spamming for a website, Facebook page, and Twitter feed on a forum that isn’t associated with that website? Once upon a time, that was considered very bad etiquette. Admittedly, I don’t know if it is anymore or not.

More and more if you do links or quotes from another site those things will automatically get pasted at the bottom of your post. I’ve had to clean up a number of them.

Why would their campaign headquarters be bugged? It’s not as if they ever say anything worth listening to.

‘paranoia strikes deep’ Steve Stills… this song has stayed true in all the years…

There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
There’s battle lines being drawn
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it’s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It’s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
Stop, hey, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
Stop, now, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
Stop, children, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down

Well, isn’t this a shocking development. A pack of out-for-themselves ass-covering backstabbers are stabbing each other in the back in an effort to look out for themselves and then claiming the office is bugged to cover their asses. Simply could not have been foreseen.

ETA: This is remarkable, actually. Ten lies, I think, in two sentences.

“I don’t know who said that,” Manafort said. “Certainly there are people probably would like to, because there’s a lot of good work going on there and we’ve been able to develop a campaign that is cohesive, that’s working together, and in a record time thanks to a great candidate who has got a vision and connected to the American people, put the campaign in a position to win the presidency.”

Republicans Stunned After Trump Reveals That His Presidential Campaign Is Broke

The link is PoliticusUSA, but the source is The Washington Examiner… so it tells it.

When Donald Trump told Republicans that his campaign had money, it was a lie. In meeting with Senate Republicans, Trump’s campaign privately admitted that they have no money and will not be able to run television ads until after the GOP convention in July.

…

Trump is also refusing to use his own money to fund his campaign. In other words, what Donald Trump is telling the voters is completely different from what is happening behind closed doors.

When Republicans nominated Trump, they thought that they were getting a billionaire who could help the party raise money while throwing his own cash into the pot for his White House bid.

What the GOP is stuck with is a deadbeat who talks a good game that they are going to have to fund in the general election because he is either unwilling or unable to pull his own weight.

Are you talking about sjk? That’s something that politico does with any story you quote. Its easy to delete and remove, but if you don’t take that extra step, it gets added.

So blame it on politco, not the poster.

Manafort: “I don’t know who said our offices are bugged. I haven’t listened to the tapes yet.”

And that is already becoming a problem, because they are expecting the RNC to not only pick up the tab, but do the actual heavy lifting involved with putting together a ground game. And the RNC is woefully ill prepared for a task that size and is way behind on meeting any of the goals.

Recently, Trump had become convinced that he was being watched by a giant hedgehog whom he referred to as ‘Spiny Norman’.

Normally Spiny Norman was wont to be about twelve feet from snout to tail, but when Trump was depressed Norman could be anything up to eight hundred yards long.

Never fear, Trump bought a slightly used Cone of Silence from the Buck Henry estate…

Right?

There is no need to bug Trump’s campaign headquarters because he says the first thing that pops into his head, the real problem for the campaign is trying to keep him quiet…

It’s not Democrats that the staff is worried about…its the Manafort-Lendowsky feud that is fueling these fears.

They are worried that they are bugging each other.

I didn’t realize that. Still if you post it on multiple threads, it seems a little spammy

It’s the first time I’ve noticed on TPM. My apologies.

A face full of polonium-210 is a more likely Lewandowski’s fate considering it’s Manafart…

Most of us I think see it and edit it out before posting…but if you are posting in a hurry, or don’t know they do it…then it can easily sneak into your post.

Considering that a “face full” would take out Lewandowski, and the populations of any adjoining states, lets hope he goes the “shoot 'em on Fifth Ave.” route.
