That’s odd. Everyone else online is wondering why the case alleging that Trump and Epstein raped a 13-y/o girl has been deep-sixed after the girl came under multiple threats.

Yet I haven’t seen Trump weigh in on that.

This article is fucking stenography.

Where is the statement and check on this asshole that this is not normal for any President in our history to engage in wild speculation and conspiracy mongering against a former President? tRump is considered the top law enforcement person in the country and he’s pushing baseless claims against Clinton through a RT on twitter. Obviously, that’s tRump (who isn’t just anybody ffs) promoting a smear without an ounce of evidence.

Oh, great. Just what we needed. Another crazy-eyed Trump sycophant.

NO, NO, NO- Marc Lotter -
to say that Trump was, essentially, just saying what everyone else is thinking is a lame inadequate and unacceptable excusing of grotesquely unprofessional jackass - behavior by Trump.

Good Heavens, can Trump - just once act like an adult with some respect for the position that he holds.

I know - it is impossible

Um, no. The majority of citizens in this country are not conspiratory-loving ignoramuses who see the Clintons lurking around every corner.

Stealing from the Cheney playbook. Cheney would leak false info through the press, than later mention the leaks on Sunday Talk show interviews to reinforce the information and give it more credibility.

Here we you spread false lies through twitter memes, have the Orange Buffoon then retweet the mentions, and than make reference to the blowback from those actions as proof of their credibility.

“People have been talking about…” (the very thing we have been triggering them to talk about)

“There appears to be meat on this bone”

Maybe we should just tune into Faux News if we want to hear their take on the subject. There isn’t one paragraph in this article that does anything beyond repeat what this guy says on Faux News. Total bullshit. I expect better from writers here.

“I think the President was basically asking some of the questions that we saw millions of Americans probably asking themselves, whether it be on social media or just even in their own private conversations, about the very strange circumstances around this person’s death,”

I am thinking 'why is that the luckiest man in American history, can’t go a single day, without spouting some illegitimate and insane bullshit? Bs that he shouldn’t be retweeting, because we all know that he would be the first to cry foul, if something like this happened to him."

I’m also thinking, “Didn’t Linda Mcmahon tell AP that Trump was going to be a better leader than Hillary?”

Exactly. Many many people are saying it. Many many. And you wouldn’t believe what the investigators reported.

Great imagery there, depending on where you place the emphasis.

Trying to decide. Is the article photo an accurate image of Lotter or did someone sneak in Gollum from LOTR?

Cheap shot I know, but it is my current headspace.

You’ve brought that to my attention before. I tend to write the way I speak oftentimes, especially when I’m pissed. Sorry 'bout that.

Not at all! I love the writing, and it’s perfectly correct. Just the fun of being able to interpolate different meanings with a slight change in emphasis makes for a much more amusing read!
