US Politics VIII

[Headache in a Suitcase]

One of these things is true

A) the president is complicit in the largest cyber attack on our nation to date

B) the president took advantage of the largest cyber attack on our nation to date and refuses to do anything a out it because it will be admitting that his presidency is a sham



Either way, the president refuses to condem or respond to the largest cyber attack ever carried out on our nation, and isn't doing anything to preventing it from happening again because it's not in his own personal interests to do so.


This should outrage any American, regardless of political affiliation.

"I don't even like Trump but..." is code for "I voted for Trump but I'm too embarrassed to admit it, so I'm going to make it seem like I'm impartially arguing in his defense, cause libruuuls"

Honest. Broker.

or , I don't even know anymore.

Also I'm not sure what is wrong with my almost 3-year-old, maybe he is "delayed" but his interests consist mostly of digging a tunnel to China in the park sand box, throwing plastic farm animals in the toilet, telling me not to talk when he watches Paw Patrol and declaring that everything I make for dinner is "yucky". The idea of him shooting a weapon is just

you leftists

I really don’t understand this term. It’s a made up one. It’s annoying. Using an -ist suffix suggests one practices or an activity or ideology. “The left” is a very large (majority) of the population. Notice how nobody uses the term “rightist”? Sure sounds dumb to say, doesn’t it? One does not practice left ideology. They have a left ideology. They may practice liberalism or progressivism.

criminal liars such as Obama,

Now, criminal lying by Obama isn’t part of the Fox News propaganda. Just that he’s an incapable Kenyan Muslim who is to fault for everything needing a fault, logical or illogical.

Hillary,

Ok. That is the usual suspect.

Slick Willie,

Who?

Eric Holder,

What’d he do?

Loretta Lynch,

There’s your narrative, stick with it

Wasserman,

I think you’ll find “leftists” to be quite divided about DWS. And they were before Trump was elected, during the election.

James Comey,

Republican. Nice try!

Strzok,

People in the public eye didn’t know who this man was before the ‘scandal’ aka distraction to talk about an irrelevant Hillary Clinton broke out.

entire DNC, DOJ, and FBI are and were. What a bunch of lying scumbags.

Everyone’s a liar. Huge conspiracy. Every republican DOJ and FBI and ATF and secret service and US Marshal and CIA and and and... all liars! Truth revealed! Donald Trump and his supporters are the only people not in on the conspiracy! NASA are liars too! Space Force will make space great again! Bringing back the space program! Air Force are liars too btw.

Get a grip.

you'd think so, right?

A or B
well said in a nutshell regarding the over-arching Trump/Russia situation

and don't forget "the Mss Universe" pageant held in Russia that Donnie promoted, Gus

LN7
like your rundown of answers to Gus

No matter how many times one of you try to keep this Trump/Russians thing afloat, just another reminder that the main reason you leftists are still mad about it is that the Russians exposed how corrupt and criminal liars such as Obama, Hillary, Slick Willie, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, Wasserman, James Comey, Strzok, entire DNC, DOJ, and FBI are and were. What a bunch of lying scumbags. And the only reason why you know how corrupt and scummy they are is because Trump won.

THAT’S what’s scary. But keep ignoring that and keep virtue signaling because Trump is a dumb buffoon.

What?! Not one mention of Uranium One? Man, you’re gonna lose your rightist cred.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Ninety minute meeting, I wonder if the election hacking ever came up. They probably ran out of time....Next time for sure.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

It was actually two hours, probably still ran out of time.

[dabiggestu2fan]

What a horrible joint press briefing that just happened! Hey gzusfrk did you watch it? Please tell me honestly how you can defend trump especially after this press briefing!

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Does Trump even know that Putin has had people killed? Asking for a friend.

 

[dabiggestu2fan]

Question to trump. Who do you trust, the fbi etc or Putin regarding Russia involvement?

Trump: but Hillary emails, and Putin told me very strongly that he did not have anything to do. So yeah I believe Putin. Because he told me very strongly.

Lol

There are a couple of things at play here. Leftist is a term used by those in the general political spectrum where I fall to identify ourselves as separate from liberals. In this particular context, what is happening is that, like many on the right, Gzusfrk does not understand the many differences between the variety of viewpoints to his left. Everyone's exactly the same, against what he likes and believes in.

One thing that has been amusing has been the inability of some of those on the right to be able to describe the politics of someone like Ocasio-Cortez. They've spent so much time calling Barack Obama's center-right economic policies "rampant socialism" that they have no vocabulary left for actual socialism when it's put in front of their faces.

This is all part of why conservatives are completely unable to successfully parody their political enemies. You need to understand your subject matter, and they never have.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

We should save the money and get rid of the intelligence agencies. Trump is a one man intelligence agency.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

The President of the United States stood next to the leader of the country that hit us with the greatest cyber attack in our nation's history, to date, and sided with that leader over our own intelligence community.

This is a surreal moment. Not unexpected, but surreal nonetheless.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Maybe this will be a turning point...

Tweet from @AriFleischer: I continue to believe there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. But when Trump so easily and naively accepts Putin’s line about not being involved, I can understand why Ds think Putin must have the goods on him.

... but probably not.

it's treason, nothing less

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

it's treason, nothing less

I think so too

 

[Pearl]

Here’s a good article on why Trump likes Putin so much, and what Putin’s plans are: https://www.vox.com/conversations/2017/2/22/14697718/trump-putin-helsinki-meeting-hillary-clinton

 

[Pearl]

I think so too

It is. But many Americans won’t see it that way. We’re going to lose our democracy this way, all because of Russia.

Hypothetically if any country had hacked the RNC in order to try to get Hillary elected...Trump would be screaming about it from the rooftops. Tweeting about it 24/7, hiring lawyers, calling for a new election, railing against that country.

This, the hypocrisy has no ends to this administration. Imagine if Obama had a similar conference like today, the republicans would be screaming for his impeachment! And yet trump can get away with murder and it’s ok.

jeesus did he just literally invite Russia to work with US security on the investigation? he is a danger to national security - feel quite ill watching this

Right? No other politician would be able to get away with this kind of shit the way Trump has.

This is embarrassing and shameful and I hope to hell the entire GOP is made to answer for and pay for this, and called out for the fools they are for letting this shit go on as long as it has.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Remember all the Republicans who were constantly accusing President Obama of cowtowing to other countries? Extrapolated to accusing him of hating the US.

Are the same people speaking out today?
