I can’t be the only one who sees the irony of Trump calling in by phone to say no one could have heard that phone call.

Wow. Forgot that. Amazing to think of how cultured and intelligent and witty Kennedy was and what is squatting in the WH now. Kennedy has his faults, and fidelity to his spouse was one, but he didn’t lack fidelity to his country or to creating a better world. How we have fallen.

Trump said he had listened to phone calls for 40 years and never heard the other side that wasn’t on speaker phone. Ok, I doubt cell phones with speaker settings were around 40 years ago.
Just sayin’

I agree with everything you said. Everybody claims to know drama. If anyone really ever did, things would be far different, you know?
I can’t recall anyone who’s predicted the present ; - )
He won’t be running in 2020.
Did Scott Baio get a participation medal?

Would not be a surprise if he was his own cousin.

Easy way to find out if this call never happened. I hope the Ds are subpoenaing the call records.
Make that 60% in the states with R senators running for re-election in 2020. Short of that, well, fuggedaboutit. 2022 and beyond Rs certainly are justified in thinking this will all be forgotten before fall of 2022.

To what you wrote, I’d add: with all the content out there, its very easy to insulate yourself in what you want to read and hear. In “the old days” before the 'net and 500 channels and devices everywhere, this was much harder. It’s entirely likely that this 42% never exposes itself to anything besides Redstate, Fox, Brietbart, etc. If that’s all the input they get, of course they think this is all a hoax and the more important crisis is Uranium One, Benghazi, Clinton emails, and brown people at the border.

Can we have just one single about-to-retire-so-doesn’t-give-a-shit journalist just reply, to his face, “fuck you, Trump, nobody cares about your stupid lying ass opinion.”
I think he’d have a stroke and we’d be done with him.

Yeah, I’ve recently written about that here. Only, it’s WAY more than 500 “channels”, given all the online options, e.g. YouTube, blogs, reddit, chat rooms, etc. And they’re not all glued to RW outlets. A significant minority of this 42% is simply distracted and detached, not to much in the far-right orbit as in their own little siloed reality, and their innate RW leanings make them assume that while Trump may not be their ideal Repub he’s not THAT bad. But between diffuse media and RW media, between the haters and imbeciles (with lots of overlap), 42% of Americans are in some alternate reality where this makes sense and he’s doing a decent job. How does one break through to at least some of them? When he’s gone they’ll still be around and we can’t sustain democracy with 40% of the country unfit for it.
I know there are way more than 500 channels; it’s a historic reference to an early '90s John Malone prediction,
Wait a minute…the official story about the cameras alternated between (a) they were not working or (b) they were turned away from the cell. Is Barr a surveillance camera whisperer?

Such a gentleman he is.
First of all, I get my wife involved in on the fly greetings with someone I am talking to on the phone by just holding the phone away from my ear with no speaker phone. Works fine at 5-10 feet. I wouldn’t be suprised if Sonland (who I can’t help but like) was showing off by pulling the phone away from his ear. In fact the whole scenario would fit that behavior. Holmes may have been being polite by saying he didn’t know exactly why he did that. And when Trump, bless his soul (a fool’s errand for sure), says that the Republicans have “never been so unified” surely indicates the opposite based on his proven reactions to reality. To me, the discussions around our president need to start with compiling a list of the admirable things he has done in his life and go from there. I don’t think you need to even take the cap off the Sharpie ™.
