Hey, remember when people were expressing concerns about W expanding the ability of the government to spy on people, and conservatives were responding with "if you're not guilty of anything you shouldn't have anything to hide :smuggo:" like that was a reasonable response to a government going too far?

Drunky Duck clearly doesn't!

No one to blame but his own gullible rear end for that one. When you see Trump make a bold claim in a tweet your reaction shouldn't be to immediately make a cartoon treating it as gospel.

It was stupid of him to say it because if Obama actually had Trump tapped, it would mean he got court approval which would mean the courts thought there was sufficient evidence that Trump might've been involved in criminal wrongdoing, as I understand it

Trump is getting #NeverTrump conservatives like Tinsley and Ramirez to pivot, slowly but surely, by appealing to the most important aspect of their personalities: their persecution complex

By 2020 they will be 100% in Trump's corner because those liberals are just so goddamn mean to him :qq:

There was no possibility for the majority of Republicans not turning for Trump because they don't stand for any values except for being assholes to people they don't like and MAH TAXES. They only were against him when it looked like he was an outsider and going to lose, giving them a facade of having principles, but now that he's established he's awesome and totally not an incompetent joke that is doing everything they claimed to hate about Obama.

If the literacy test is anything like those poll tests they used to give to black people in the south, someone should find a copy and post it in the thread so we can have another 20 page derail where 90 percent of the people call the test bullshit while the other 10 percent argue that its a perfectly cromulent test.

If it's like literally every other multiple-choice reading comprehension test I've seen, there are two or more answers out of the four or five presented that are technically correct (or at least not completely wrong), but you need to select the one that actually is most relevant to the question being asked. You know, like a test of comprehension or something.

The guy bellyaching "well it looked to me like there was more than one correct answer!! bad test!! sad!" was hilarious to me because yeah, that's kind of the point. You failed pal, welcome to the seventh grade.

Two pages of the 2005 Donald Trump income tax return fell in to the hands of Rachel Maddow last week. On her show she played it for all it was worth. It turns out it was worth about $38 million to Uncle Sam in taxes paid on an income of $150 million. That’s an effective rate of about 25%. The revelation made The Donald look good compared to accusations that he doesn’t pay any income taxes at all.

It also made him look good compared to Barack Obama’s 2015 effective rate of 18.5%, Bernie Sanders 2014 effective rate of 13.5%, and Mitt Romney’s 2011 rate of 14.1%

Even Van Jones called it a good night for Donald Trump.

The purloined returns showed up in the mailbox of journalist David Cay Johnston. He says he knows nothing. Revealing private income tax information is a felony.

Trump denies that he had anything to do with it.

ObamaCare was passed by the Democrats on Christmas Eve 2009, so we could find out what was in the bill. It has been unpopular with the American people ever since.

But since then it has become the ObamaCare entitlement.

Now, despite all the people who lost their doctors. And all the people who lost their insurance coverage. Twenty million other people will lose the coverage they never had before the bill was passed. At least that’s what the CBO says.

And that has the Republicans scared.

A Hawaiian judge helped President Trump find the true meaning of his travel ban. Trump thought he was was using his legal authority as president to keep out perceived threats to the United States.

quote:

The president’s authority to declare such suspensions can been found in section 212(f) of the INA, the pertinent part of which reads as follows:

“(f) Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”

In this case he said he needed time to vet refugees from jihad torn countries to make sure they aren’t jihadists.

U.S. District Court Judge Derrick Watson – a Harvard classmate appointed by President Obama – says otherwise. The judge ruled Trump’s real intent was to keep out Muslims. The judge knows this because Trump said so in campaign speeches.

Finally, a Democrat who doesn’t think Trump lies.

One of the most popular ‘memes’ on the Trump campaign trail was the chant, "LOCK HER UP!"

That desire remains as relevant today as it did during Trump’s campaign. Hillary is a sociopath who enjoys getting away with her crimes. She considers herself above the law. Whether it be cheating at cattle futures, taking illegal campaign contributions from China or making sure the Clinton Foundation steals millions in donations to Haiti, lying about Benghazi or engaging in outright ‘pay for play,’ she seems to know she will never be held accountable. Oh sure, she’s forced on occasion to drag her cankles to some Congressional committee, where she will look at them contemptuously with heavy-lidded eyes and a bored face as she feeds them lies. That’s the closest she’s ever come to facing justice and it’s a crying shame. LOCK HER UP!

The illegal server in her bathroom was probably part of her ‘pay for play’ scheme. Hillary is a controller. She wants her privacy and she wants to use information that benefits her pocketbook. She likes a rigged game and she wants it all kept under the table. That’s why she made sure she rigged the DNC operations against Bernie. It’s why she made sure she received debate questions in advance. She’s also in league with Podesta—who boldly practices Satanism and pedophilia and gets away with it. She uses public service to serve herself. She wasn’t very smart about technology, though. Her illegal server was unencrypted—not even a password was necessary for anyone to hack it. After WikiLeaks revealed some sordid details, her lying heart pumped out a story about the Russians and Trump working together to ‘hack the election.’ Rubbish. LOCK HER UP!

It can’t take place soon enough, but she’s well-connected and part of the Illuminati. She will probably get away with crimes. She’s slippery as slime and she's above the law. She things the law pertains to the ‘little people.’ People such as Kristian Saucier who took a photo of himself aboard his submarine. Even though no serious damage was done, they threw the book at him. He’s currently locked up. Hillary’s crimes were 100 times more damaging, yet she eludes the prison bars. Instead she gets to go shopping for $10,000 outfits with her pal Huma while she totes a $2,500 handbag.

That’s how it is in America these days, though. Unequal treatment under the law. Congress gets special, free health care and many other perks that aren’t available to the average citizen serf. Central bankers can steal billions of dollars in the form of real estate derivative fraud and not one of them went to prison. Instead, they got rewarded with gigantic bonuses and trillions in bailout dollars. Yes, the Illuminati and Deep State certainly do protect their own. The globalist stooge Obama has a stolen social security number and a birth certificate that is queer as a six dollar bill. Or maybe a $666 dollar bill. Yet he faces no consequences.

“There was no intent,” said Comey. That should be printed on Hillary’s ’Stay out of jail’ card. Try using an excuse such as that next time you’re in court. “I didn’t mean it, your honor.” See what happens. LOCK HER UP!
