Trump's Latest Distraction

[Aroura]

I'm telling you, we now have the conspiritor in chief, and the tinfoil hatters will literally believe anything the great leader or his looney sources say. If the media reported the sky was blue, and Infowars said it was secretly purple but the floride in the water made people see it as blue, and Trump parroted this shit on twitter like he always does, scoobey would think it was proven fact, and A Theist would be "reserving judgement". Dittoheads at heart.

It's the fucking twilight zone.

Anybody that can't see this man has serious mental issues probably has them too.

To compare people with mental issues to Trump is an insult to people with with mental issues.

It gets even more interesting with this tweet earlier from Obama's former speecwriter, Jon Favreau...

I'll wait and see if there's anything to it, first.

Holy crap you're retarded.

Retarded people usually have more constructive things to do than troll message boards.

Trump is no Hitler. Hitler knew what he was doing. There is no doubt in my mind now though that Trump is a genuine fascist.

We have two possibilities though. Either Trump is so stupid that he doesn't know that the Whitehouse can't order phones to be wiretapped without just cause. Or he does but he now knows that there was an FBI investigation before the election and he wants to control the story and convince his supporters before the information makes the media and they think something else. It could easily be either.

I wouldn't be surprised to discover Trumps phones were tapped. The disctinction is that Obama didn't do it. It's like he only thinks people like Obama and Hillary do things. The rest of the humans are like toes,  or fingers, or liver cells. Not independent. It also explains why he says things like "nobody knew healthcare was so complicated". He really struggles with the idea that other people are creatures with different thoughts than his.

It's a distraction for sure, but I don't think its intentional. He really thinks Obama and Hillary hired the protestors, that Obama personally ordered his phones tapped, that Obama ordered aids that are still in the white house to leak stuff. The protesters and staffers aren't people with their own thoughts, ideas and actions, they are just extensions of real people, you know, the powerful and important ones, like himself or Obama.

I don't believe he's like that at all.
He's a lot more conniving and evil than that....
It's the face he puts on to keep his alien probed peons supporting him.
If the world is not careful, he could very well be the next Hitler.
From memory, the charismatic Hitler had 77% of the support of the German public.
He gained their trust, and they trusted him all the way.
The Trupmster is acting in an eerily similar fashion....

Until it's too late....

Hitler never had support of more than a third of Germans, and then only for a very short period in 1932. It was only after he stationed brown and black shirts inside every polling booth that he cracked 50% in a vote.


@Mathilda, on the scale of fascist leaders, I currenty have Trump at Eoin O'Duffy, a blithering idiot (ok O'Duffy was only an idiot in political terms. He was a damned fine policeman) who through a seies of lucky happenstances managed to find himself leader of one ofh country's two main parties. I'm just wondering is there anybody within the Republitraitors as intelligent as the Cumann na nGaedhal politicians were in 1932.

This seems to be the result of a spurious claim made by far right conspiracy theorist Mark Levin radio host.

As I understand it, the President has no authority to order a wiretap.  It Trump's phones were tapped, it would have to have been done under a warrant requested by law enforcement.

Is that right?

Yes, to be authorized in this case not by the President, but by a FISA court (a special court assigned solely with authorizing taps on suspected foreign agents.)

To my knowledge, the President has zero authority to legally approve a wiretap.

That's an hour and forty-five minutes of video. Might you summarize for those of us who have limited data?

Ah sorry, in amongst the ranting is the claim that trump repeated almost to the word.

[Aroura]

Trump is now calling on Congress to investigate a claim he heard on an actual false news site.
Will they take him seriously? A few days ago he called for an investigation into Nancy Pelosi for eating a dognut at a public meeting with Putin. It's hard to know when to take him seriously. Sometimes he means what he says, but often it's just him blowing off steam.

I think he's serious, but of course nothing will happen. If he was wiretapped, it would have gone through legal channels to get it done, Obama not being involved, just intelligence agencies an courts.

Is this going to be the next 4 years? Trump makes outrageous and spurious claims, and his supporters cheer about having a real man in office while he waves his fists and stomps his feet and wastes countless taxpayer dollars defending his ego, on vacation in his own resort, while the people really in charge dismantle government agencies, and repeal all environmental and human protections?

This is the very definition of toxic masculinity, btw. All these chest beaters think Obama was a weak president and Trump is a strong one. Apparently they think ranting on twitter, throwing tantrums, insulting everyone and everything you don't like, beating madly at every perceived slight, groping women, hanging up on allies, and in general being as loud, self centered and obnoxious as posdible are wonderful, manly traits.

Being intelligent, thoughtful, dignified, having a sense of humor about yourself, being educated and well spoken; these are signs of weakness, apparently.

Whoa, whoa, whoa -- Nancy Pelosi eats dognuts?!

Liberal decadence at its worst, I tell you.

Ahahahah, I typed dognuts, roflmao.

Doughnut.  She was eating a doughnut.
