But the silent coup directed BY AND FROM the Mueller-crossed CIA agents of the DS (SEE THE E-MAILS!!) cannot let Russiagate political losers entertain any of what Crystal Meth Cohen has LIED about repeatedly and yet not only the taxicab thing in New York. They are trying to bring down our President by using ALTERNATE UNTRUTHS while not giving him any credit for the economy that is DOING SO WELL until the Democreeps put their WITCH HUNT on and force the car factory to shut down without tariffs. BUT PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP will take them down and all the other countries will see how we are great. Russia too!!! That was fun. ---

Yes and no. There’s an art to truly convincing gibberish, I suppose. Is that what it is? I dunno - let’s wait and see. In the meantime, the responses are lovely. A shout out to Snowboarder Bo. That is (and I’m being serious) a cracking command of the language. Fourteen words to say everything needed. j ---

He served as > Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1992 to 2001. He came to worldwide prominence around the 2003 invasion of Iraq, during which he was the Minister of Information under Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, acting as spokesman for the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party and Saddam's government. He has also been nicknamed Baghdad Bob or Comical Ali (a play on "... > [@](#): > > His pronouncements included claims that American soldiers were committing suicide “by the hundreds” outside the city, and denial that there were any American tanks in Baghdad, when in fact they were only several hundred meters away[citation needed] from the press conference where he was speaking and the combat sounds of the nearing American troops could already be heard in the background of the broadcast. On another occasion he spoke of the disastrous outcomes of previous foreign attempts to invade Iraq, citing an unspecified Western history book and inviting the journalists present to come to his home to read it. His last public appearance as Information Minister was on 8 April 2003, when he said that the Americans “are going to surrender or be burned in their tanks. They will surrender, it is they who will surrender”.[5] When asked where he had got his information he replied, “authentic sources—many authentic sources”.[6] He pointed out that he “was a professional, doing his job”.[6] Heh. “Authentic sources”. Umm…would that be Brietbart and InfoWars and Russian bots on social media? ---

On some level, you have to admire the “Black Knight”-level tenacity of some of Trump’s thirstiest Kool-Aid drinkers. They continue to cry “_NOTHINGBURGER!_!” when it’s looming overhead like the Burj Khalifa, and “_WITCH HUNT_!” when the witches are stumbling into the snares by the dozens. Trump could be frog-marched out of the Oval Office in shackles and they’ll still be sneering that he’s executing a perfect _coup de grâce_ on Mueller and all the Dummocrat libturds. ---

> [@Chip\_Dundas](#): > > One thing I have learned the past 2 years with the russiagate nonsense is how the washington post and some other outlets are not legitimate independent news services but are essentially arms of federal bureaucrats institutions. Guiliani played Mueller like a fool because Rudy has just as much, if not more clout, in the DOJ/FBI as Mueller does. Guiliani basically did to these bueraucratic jerks in the special counsel office what they/fbi/doj/cia did to trump during 2016/2017. They sent an informant in and extracted information. This is now called LEVERAGE and the silent coup folks knows this. So they push this nonsense in the washington post. Trump has these jerkd by the balls and everyone knows it. At the same time, Cocaine Mitch just killed the mueller protection legislation which is stupid and unconstitutional. What a comedy all around. I see someone has gotten an Oculus for Christmas - keep wearing it, mother fucker. ---

> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > The OP is a fucking incoherent idiot and can fuck right off, the fucker. I see this a lot. A bunch of comprehending posters react negatively toward a right-winger. They clearly understand what he is saying and react as you would expect. All good. Then a few of the really dumb ones come by and say that the person is incoherent. They usually have the angriest responses as well. If you don’t understand what someone is saying and everyone else does understand, you should be humbled by your stupidity. You shouldn’t simply react more angrily than the comprehending people have reacted. This is an ape-like impetus and you should exercise the self-control of a homo sapien if you are capable. ---
