From that article:  
"The New York Times [reports](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/24/us/politics/trump-phone-security.html) White House officials aren’t too worried about potential spying or Trump’s phone being hacked, because the president “is not well versed in the operational specifics of military or covert activities.”

It doesn’t happen very often but Real Life ™ is actually funnier in this case than [Andy Borowitz](https://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/spies-eavesdropping-on-trump-complain-he-is-speaking-in-indecipherable-language).  
White house says the Pres. is too stupid and ignorant to actually leak classified info, whereas Borowitz says the Russians and Chinese are frustrated because the Pres. is using unintelligible gibberish.

I just saw a screenshot of one that read  
_Brandon Judd of National Border Patrol Council is right when he says on @foxandfriends that the Democrat inspired laws make it tough for us to stop people at the Border. MUST BE CHANDED, but I am bringing out the military for this National Emergency. They will be stopped!_

Does he even look over what he writes? Or is it just too important to shit out a bunch of words as fast as possible?

In other words, “We don’t really give a shit, because he doesn’t give a shit at all”. Hope and change, people ! Vote “Who Gives A Good Goddamn Anyway” !

At 3 AM it occurred to the president that it is unfair that the press criticizes the president, but the president doesn’t criticize the press, as if that isn’t how this whole thing is actually supposed to work.

Uh huh. Angry nazi rhetoric from the so called president, Charlottesville nazis, Proud Boys, KKK, abortion clininc bombers, now a wannabe bomber,  
But WE are the violent ones. We are the mob.  
Uh huh.

I like that he is having problems understanding why presidents are held to a standard defined by the word “presidential” while non-presidents are not.

If you were wondering how long it would take for an insinuation that bombs sent to his opponents were a hoax, the answer is less than two days.

I know it’s cool to be snarky about this sort of thing, but this man has proven himself completely incapable of dealing with any sort of criticism or accepting any responsibility for doing the sort of actions we need in times of crisis.

The president’s tweet is why I am done with hearing about “rhetoric and tone from **both sides**.”:rolleyes:

A few days ago Trump and Pence were saying that political violence is unacceptable, but now the president is basically calling the other party ‘dangerous’.

If Trump’s followers truly agree with his statement that Democrats are ‘dangerous’, then it’s likely that at least a few of them might be inspired to commit violence.

But we’ve known that this is where we were headed for some time now. The president’s in serious legal jeopardy. He’s threatening to incite his own mob against anyone who dares to come after him, whether it’s Nancy Pelosi or the Departmenf of Justice.

What concerns me now - and I’m being dead serious - is what happens if/when the Democrats take the House. Does the president accept the results, or does he claim that there was widespread voter fraud and threaten to delegitimize the election in the eyes of 40-45% of the voting public?

Of course he will do this. Shit, he claimed it back in 2016.

All it will accomplish is to stir up his base (I hope that’s all).

Well, to be fair, he’s being held accountable for his actions for the first time in his life. Must be a terribly confusing concept.
