OK, I was watching videos on youtube and an ad came up. I was obviously some kind of Pro-Trump ad. It was longish (over 2 minutes and maybe 5) so I skipped before it got rolling and right before I hit the button the ad was giving credit for the Febrary jobs report to Trump.
OK…so a (deceptive) rah-rah Trump ad…over 2 months after the inauguration.
Susan Rice must have murdered a bunch of nuns or something in a previous life, because I’ve never seen a person get so much shit for doing nothing wrong. Now the Trumpistas have seized on her doing her job as security advisor to “prove” that Obama put a camera in Trump’s microwave.
Even Lindsey Graham, who is supposed to be one of the few sane Republicans in Congress, has a bug up his ass about her, and was a complete asshole today, saying that when it came to Rice, you should verify, not trust.
The Failing NY Times (they should add it to their masthead, it’d probably gain them subscribers) had some epic Trump burns in that article.
Start with the headline: “Trump, Citing No Evidence, Suggests Susan Rice Committed Crime.”
In the body of the story: “Mr. Trump, who has a history of promising to produce evidence to back up his unverified claims, and failing to do so, did not make clear what crime he was accusing Ms. Rice of committing.”
But yeah, this story in general … of course the director of the NSA could ask for unmasking of Americans caught up in surveillance of foreign contacts. It would be a failure of national security to not do that. Plus, if the administration is so worried about leakers, well, it wasn’t Rice who leaked any of this. It was members of the Trump administration and the Republican Congress. There’s your leakers!
To have the Republicans jump all over this like it’s some smoking gun that justifies Trump’s paranoid Fox News-inspired tweets … it’s mind-boggling. But then my mind has been boggling pretty much every day since November 8, so what can ya do?
Checked pit and punji stakes - Taco Bowl still undisturbed but some sign of orange stains and slime trail nearby. Will wait for weekend update from Mar-A-Lago. Hell Mouth in sand trap may still be open.
You THINK he’s a person you know well? What a lovely kickoff to National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. “They’re lying! All lying broads!”
Now that Our President has led us into war with Syria, there is no time for quibbling or criticism of his actions. We as a nation must all unite behind him with support and love.
