TROLL THREAD!

TROLL THREAD!

He also funded massive border walls in Jordan and Tunisia, too. With US taxpayer dollars.

And that is the problem with America. The intelligence of a country is its "intelligence". It is what decides the strategy vis-a-vis our enemies. If it does not have the confidence of America, America cannot lead the world. I guess, Trumpites are OK with that, and he is the President. Well it was good till it lasted . Lets give the reigns to China and Russia.

Democrats: 1965-2016 "Question Authority!"
Democrats: 2016- "How DARE you question the authorities?"

They had their chance; GOPe have to maintain their power; if Trump paints them as uncooperative and recalcitrant against bills that the public supports in principle, they will be on hot seat. He can do this all day long and even if nothing gets done, he will use social media to pass any heat on him to others.

You got it.

The Establishment is against the Reformer, shock of shocks. That never happens in World History. He'll likely will fail and bebesmirched in the process. Then the Establishment is really in trouble.

Ryan has been against Trump since day one, his mentor was an Establishment convicted Pedophile named Hastert. When he wasn't structuring payments to get around bank reporting requirements. Trump's real problem is the GOPe: Graham, McCain, McConnell, Ryan, and others hate him, they like it the way it is.

cant use this article, it is from 2013, long before Bezos took over WaPo

Folks, you can't make this shit up....

Why would you ? It's called security. He's going to have a detail of secret service protecting him for the rest of his life. This was very easily their idea.

Do you know the definition of hypocrisy ? I'd love to hear your explanation of the hypocrisy going on here.

Ego baiting Trump: he can't admit that Russians did the hack. That would force him to admit that the election was rigged and undermine his victory.

Cool. All part of draining the swamp!

I would quit too if I couldn't lead from behind.
America questions our Intelligence community.
They have lied and lied and lied.

Logan will tweet that he will suck Trump's penis and work his balls if Trump or his surrogates re-publish Logan's "professional" biography (that was written by Logan, himself, which makes it a professional autobiography).

Trump likes that kind of shameless, grandiose self-promotion.

Maybe Logan can create about 100 different Patrick.net user accounts to tell everyone how "they' attended one of Logan's exciting speeches at the airport Holiday Inn Express to hear about reverse mortgages and refis.

I only tweeted once in my life, to tell Lebron what a little bitch he was for The Announcement. Had an account for all of five minutes. Seems to have worked too, I remember Lebron tweeting something whiny about being picked on, hilarious!

Why would a Russian operative lie?

Why are you red and not green then?

Bating Trumpligula with passive aggressive sorties designed to enrage and frustrate his narcissism, until he tears his hair out in big, orange cotton candy clumps, sounds enticing. However, haven't the foggiest how twitter works.

RealEstateIsBetterThanStocks says

it is going to be delayed until the 20th. Useless's laywers will present the "evidence" in a bunch of suitcases filled with toilet paper.

I heard there will be a "Public" version and a "Decision-maker" version. Both will be full of circumstantial shit, but this will allow Lindsay Graham, McCain, Pelosi, etc. to say "Indisputable Truth! We have a separate version with the more sekrit evidence."

Again, who ELSE hacked into the DNC Server. Preferably asked while somebody is under oath. They're not telling you there are many, many other groups that hacked into the DNC.

Who was the first to accuse Russia?

Crowdstrike, hired by the Democrats. How conveeeeeeeenient they decided it was Russia.

What gets me is they go from one pile of shit on to the next. It's not like they had all of these tinfoil hat conspiracy theories going at the same time.
They get the shit kicked out of them on one, they come back with a new one.

NPR today the theme was Trump all about Trump. But they want to lead the narrative, they want to smear his name his supporters, lie about associations, make wild accusations. But then the minute he Tweets and calls them all an Idiot with 144 characters or less. They all scream in tandem "Oh my God why wont he go away. Trump makes everything about HIM! Waaah aaaah haaaah!!!!"

NPR's thought specialists are really losing their edge. They have turned into Putz Practitioners.

They don't realize that non-super partisan democrats are already sick of the smears.

Bill Richardson.

January 5th, 2009.

He didn't want to be a 'distraction' from the charges he was facing regarding muni bond peddlers.

It's pretty clear the intel services don't want Trump, he'll cut into their lucrative double dip retirement scheme.

Dan8267 says

Why the hell should trying to influence an election require that you give up safety? Every person who endorses a candidate or opposes another is trying to influence an election. Should they all have to submit to a government that has recently tortured innocent people for political reasons? That is ridiculous.

I linked to the DNI report in another thread. It says Putin ordered and influence campaign and seems to focus alot on RT programming since Occupy Wall Street. Otherwise it's all maybe, probably, coulda, shoulda, woulda.

Dan8267 says

At least Thunderlips has the decency to show us cleavage with each post. He's a real hero.

Samples are free.

Otherwise $1000/hr. + expenses. Right Rin? Good tipper.

I do have a Twitter account, https://twitter.com/patrickdotnet but how would you all get to abuse it?

I don't get the mechanics, but I'm all for equal-opportunity flame-baiting. Though I don't really trust Twitter since I know they have PC-compliance guards shadow-banning "offensive" material, the only kind of material really worth reading.

Ironman says

“Mr. President, I object on behalf of the millions of Americans, including members of the intelligence committee,” Rep. Barbara Lee said

Dummy.

Ironman says

“Mr. President, I object to the votes from the state of Wisconsin, which should not be legally certified,” Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee insisted.

Another dummy.

Ironman says

Ryan finally lost it and started laughing when Rep. Maxine Waters stood up

Yet another dummy.

Unbelievable,the most flaming SJW Liberal Bash-bush types are the new McCarthyists.

Well he is an Info Warrior.

Excellent. I hear the full time full wage jobs train coming round the bend...

anonymous says

Just hours after passing the very first bill of the new Congress on Wednesday — one designed to roll back a range of environmental and consumer regulations — House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., celebrated with a corporate lobbying firm at a fundraiser for his campaign committee.

Thank goodness they talked them out of using bagpipes.

Someone from the Wall Street Journal said just yesterday it's the tweeting that the journalistic class and establishment in both parties fears most about this administration.

If the White House Press Corps can't manipulate public opinion by filtering Trump, he can run the table until the end of his second term. Who's gonna stop him? Twitter is said to be not doing well financially so if they get close to bankruptcy, guess what? One of the Trump kids buys it. Yes, that's legal. It's already being discussed.

This was a bigger loss than most people understand. 1980 was a realignment but I think 2016 was bigger because the Republicans have everything and there are all those openings on the Federal bench. Reagan wouldn't have dared to nominate a Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State or a Rick Perry as Secretary of Energy but Trump's done precisely that and the train just keeps rolling down the track. Sherrod Brown was generally understood to be the second coming of Howie Metzenbaum but the DSCC is broke and there are so many vulnerable seats in the next cycle. If Jane Timken decides she wants to force the issue and get rid of him, she'll commit the resources. It's all about money.

The left has a ton of work to do between now and 2022. That's the earliest they'll be viable with reapportionment not until 2022. If they stick to their identity politics they'll continue to lose big races away from the coasts. We're not the United States of California and Massachusetts.

I'm thinking a very wounded and weak Democratic party will run Sanders or Warren in 2020 only to watch him or her be destroyed ala McGovern in 1972. There's plenty of precedent for this: Stevenson in 1952/1956, Mondale in 1984, Dukakis in 1988, etc. All were during periods when Democrats were in the wilderness. It's about keeping the lights on, i.e., creating excitement among the base such that they keep writing the checks to pay key staff and maintain office space.

Hillary did this to herself. Even Colin Powell said everything she touches turns to shit.

Bill had political gifts and an instinct his wife does not possess. He was also the one who told the DNC in June not to ignore the white working class.

Makes sense to me. Journalists can't control narrative like in the past

Bill Clinton had charm, was handsome and has a Certain je ne sais quoi; Hillary is female dick Cheney

My wife is all a-twitter (pun intended) about Trump due to her Horatio Alger life story but you can count me as cautiously optimistic.

We need energy to grow. We need a new tax code. Old news there. The mandate from the ACA was killing us. We need some infrastructure.

I live about twenty minutes from the research labs in Livermore and happened to settle into a bar stool one night next to a retired scientist with a Q clearance. He told he what Trump is saying appears to be true. Our nuclear stockpile has been in need of a refresh for years and I suspect he's going to use that as a means of job creation. LLNL (otherwise known as Larry Lab) will see some impact from it but Sandia's work is almost exclusively weapons related and they'll get a big boost. They aren't even a real lab anymore, having been absorbed into Lockheed Martin a few years ago. They work on DoE contracts where the other lab is more of a research entity. Berkeley Lab is still here but no longer does weapons research. It's prohibited by law, still a DoE facility but you don't need a clearance to work there anymore.

We needed a strong hand on the rudder and now we have one. Let's see where this guy takes us.

How do you figure that?

If the Republicans are successful in repatriating the several trillion Dollars that are parked offshore, how can things not get better?

What I think you're hacked off about is Congress being in Republican hands. This could have never happened with a Democrat in the White House and of course it's the Republicans who will get the credit for all that money coming back to our shores.

I'm worried about inflation.

This just in the President is a real person.

We're going to win so much Liberals get sick of Twitter.

I didn't know he said that.

This was hardball politics. It felt serious and it was.
