Even Trump's Staunchest Defenders Won't Back His Wiretap Claim

Vice President Mike Pence declined to say whether he thought the president’s allegation is true, while the White House press secretary has insisted he won’t discuss the matter at all.

I think he either:

a) thinks it's better for everyone if he doesn't get involved (and he may be right, any perception of interference from him, no matter how bogus, could harm the cause)

or

b) doesn't have a single minute gently caress to give about all of it, after the stress of the presidency he's washed his hands of this ungrateful country either temporarily or permanently

It's really amazing how bad of a candidate Clinton was.

Not really. She was almost completely unproven. She had a senate seat handed to her and had never been a candidate in a contested election in her life. She was famous because she was married to the president. She may be an excellent bureaucrat for all any of us know, but you can't just take a bureaucrat and put them in front of a podium and instantly transform them into a good political candidate.

Bill Clinton was a great candidate. Bernie Sanders is a great candidate. Both are proven. Obama was less proven, but he obviously has a gift for it. Hillary Clinton was a horrible candidate.

The "they would have called Bernie a SOCIALIST!" theories are nonsense. People have been calling Bernie Sanders things for decades and he just keeps winning elections. Like Slick Willie Clinton, part of being a good candidate is stupid poo poo doesn't stick to you. Hillary Clinton is glue. Everything sticks to her.

Lol, ok, so what had GWB done? And Clinton, and Regan, and Carter, and Eisenhower? What does one have to do to be "proven"? Oh and people don't want "proven". They want competence and non insiders, which is in part, how we got Trumped.

Lol that it was experience that kept Clinton foraging around central park.

What's most insane is none of the mainstream media is calling Trump out for getting his intelligence from Fox and Friends, and Breitbart. It's painfully loving obvious judging by the timing of the tweets and when their made up articles appeared. I watched that press briefing yesterday and no one said it.

The only way any scandal of any proportion would matter is if congress feels like Trump isn't going to rubber stamp their poo poo. THEN a whole bunch of previously ignored stuff will suddenly become a big deal. Lol.

I honestly don't think it's ever going to go anywhere - if it actually exists then Russia wouldn't release it unless DJT was going to gently caress them in some way, and clearly he's not going to do that lol

The real leverage Putin has over Trump is that most of Trump's capital is in Russian banks, and Putin could wave his hand and make it evaporate.

quote:

There is strong evidence that Trump’s businesses have received significant funding from Russian investors. Most notably, Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. made that very claim at a real estate conference in New York in 2008, saying “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets.” Donald Trump Jr. added, “we see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.”

e: aside from that, Putin could wave a big bag of money under Trump's nose, he could pass him fifty billion dollars and not even feel it

the same document said putin would give trump the broker fees on a 19% sale of russia's nation-controlled oil company if he won the election and agreed to drop sanctions, and, well, what do you know:

quote:

More than a month after Russia announced one of its biggest privatizations since the 1990s, selling a 19.5 percent stake in its giant oil company Rosneft, it still isn't possible to determine from public records the full identities of those who bought it.

so lol either the document grabbed some random-rear end number for some random-rear end company and managed to get it bang-on by sheer luck, or the piss tape is real

Let's revisit this famous Trump quote and focus on the "I'm automatically attracted to beautiful" bit.

Like, what the hell does that even mean? Does Trump think that being "automatically" attracted to beautiful is a special quirk of his character? Isn't "beautiful" in itself something that's alluring, attractive? Isn't attraction implied to be automatic. Such nonsense.

gently caress this bullshit idiot moron democratically elected president of the united states of america.
