kimmy Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 16 hours ago, Topaz said: Today, Spicer kept the media waiting over an hour and then he went after the media when one of them ask about Trump and wiretapping. Spicer read news reports of the media of the past year about the feds asking for wiretapping etc. Yes, there was lots of talk of wiretapping. But Trump specifically accused President Obama of wiretapping him. Spicer still hasn't produced a single piece of evidence to support that claim. 16 hours ago, Topaz said: The point was either those news reports were fake news OR the feds are lying about the wiretapping. WRONG 16 hours ago, Topaz said: The report said they wanted to spy on Trump and or Trump Tower. Spicer won this one. BTW, Trump waiting for 2 weeks... its because he's waiting for some documents. If by "Spicer won this one" you mean that he once again came away looking and smelling like an ass, then yes, Calm Spicy wins again. The US just issued a formal apology to Great Britain for Calm Spicy's big fat unfounded accusation last week that the British performed the wiretap for Obama. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

The Elites are very powerful people and for all I know he could have been setup by them. I'm waiting, if I'm wrong than I'm wrong. Trump didn't get "set up" by anybody except himself. It was him who made unfounded accusations with no information to support him. He can't blame "the elites" when he shoots off his mouth on Twitter. That's on him. He can't blame somebody else for the crap that comes out of his mouth or his Twitter account. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

So in this analogy, Trump is the chicken? Do I have that right? Look, if it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, and looks like a duck, chances are pretty good that it's a duck. You, on the other hand, are looking at this duck and for some reason insisting it's actually a magical Phoenix. "The Elites" didn't make Trump slander Barack Obama. "The Elites" didn't make the White House slander the British intelligence service. "The Elites" didn't make Trump surround himself with Russian-connected individuals like Flynn, Manafort, and Page. "The Elites" didn't make Flynn call the Russians to talk about sanctions while he was still a private citizen. "The Elites" didn't make Flynn lie about it afterward. "The Elites" didn't make Jeff Sessions lie under oath about his contact with the Russians during his confirmation hearing. "The Elites" didn't make Trump lie about his business and financial connections with Russia. Why can't any of these people simply tell the truth? Why can't they answer simple questions honestly? And the funniest part is that Trump supporters, like yourself, don't care that these guys keep lying. Trump supporters aren't mad about the lying, they're mad that Trump and his buddies keep getting caught lying. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

kimmy Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 Trump went on the Tucker Carlson show to do a softball interview, and he couldn't even do that right. Here's what happened when Carlson asked Trump about the healthcare plan now being referred to as "Trumpcare": Quote Carlson: "This bill has as one of its centerpieces a tax cut for investors that will primarily benefit people making over $200,000 a year, who have already done pretty well over the past ten years, as you know." Trump: "Yeah." Carlson: "A Bloomberg analysis has shown that counties that voted for you-- middle class and working class counties-- would do far less well under this plan than the counties that voted for Hillary, the more affluent counties." Trump: "Oh, I know. I know." Carlson: "It SEEMS like--" Trump: "It's very preliminary." Carlson: "--this isn't consistent with the message of the last election." Trump: "No. A lot of things aren't consistent. But these are going to be negotiated." The President here is admitting that his healthcare bill is a betrayal of the very people who won the election for him. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

Wilber Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 If it walks like a duck. Whitehouse apologizes to Britain for spying allegations Do I sense a little friction between the US and its closest ally?

The thought which occurred to me at the accusation was that they had the wrong target. The Five Eyes have often been accused of helping each other out in order to get around laws on spying on their own citizens. But if someone at the NSA or CIA was going to ask someone else to spy on Trump the logical people to do it would be CSE - ie, us. We have lots of equipment for doing just that right across the border from New York.

Topaz Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 Kimmy, have u been watching American news channels for the last year? IF u have , u must know its been bias against Trump. As a Canadian, I'm emotionally connected to the results of the election and I feel all channels should share the pros and the cons of the news topic but that not being done. Now s far as the wiretapping or whatever u want to call it.. Trump is waiting for some documents. Quote
Wilber Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 Ya, Trump is so jealous of Obama he is willing to throw his country's allies under the bus in order to get back at him. Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice". WSC
