> [@Leaper](#): > > Can this thread also include Roger Stone and Sean Hannity on Twitter now? I’m the OP, and I give my approval as long as it’s somehow Trump-related. I think the wiretap tweets are a smokescreen to take attention away from the more important story of Schwarzeneggger quitting _The Apprentice_. ---

> [@Yllaria](#): > > To sue successfully, they’d have to prove that someone took Trump seriously. At this point, that would probably be hard. That’s something that Legal types like to wrangle about over a few beers. Could you have someone so transparently full of shit that nothing he could say would be slander? Someone who could call someone else (falsely) a convicted paedophile, but whose reputation was so bad that no reasonable person would assume it was a genuine accusation and thus make it impossible to sue over. Looks like that theoretical is rapidly turning in to a practical. ---

Sadly, I know people who still think Trump is gonna MAGA, so I think the libel charge might work. ---

> [@Try2B\_Comprehensive](#): > > …it makes me wonder if there is any significant legislation or policy in the pipe that I could be looking at instead. [Muslim Ban Zwei: This Time The Lawyers Looked At It](http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-new-trump-entry-ban-20170304-story.html) is probably scheduled to drop tomorrow, so get to work on your signs! (If you are feeling lost in the news cycle – and many people complain about that these days – I personally find that [WTF Just Happened Today?](https://whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com/) provides a nice mix of Trump news: the big/gossipy stories, yes, but without forgetting about the other policy-related pieces on the board. It’s just a bare-bones digest with links to news stories. Occasional NSFW language, including in the newsletter title.) ---

Extraordinary responses to Trump’s extraordinary claims. Ex-CIA Director says "[Trump apparently forgot he was president."](https://www.yahoo.com/news/ex-cia-director-on-wiretap-claim-trump-apparently-forgot-that-he-was-president-143941457.html) Oh, snap. In other words, if he thought Obama had been tapping his phone, why didn’t he just call up the FBI or DNI and ask them? (Because he’s a freakin’ loon, of course.) And WTF is going on in the Justice Department? FBI Director Comey has given his boss, Jeff Sessions, an ultimatum: either you and I are on the same page (and Trump’s wire tap claims are bullshit), or you and Trump are on the same page (and it’s not the one I’m on). ---

In response to criticisms of RepubliCare, Trump tweeted, [“Despite what you hear in the press, healthcare is coming along great. We are talking to many groups and it will end in a beautiful picture!”](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/839883804315684864) Sort of like a Picasso? ---
