US Politics November 2017

Here is the entire chain of messages with @wikileaks (with my whopping 3 responses) which one of the congressional committees has chosen to selectively leak. How ironic! 1/3 pic.twitter.com/SiwTqWtykA

You're funny!

What's truly ironic is that you're complaining about leaks. This was you 13 months ago. pic.twitter.com/WoT5pKE5Cl

Also, here's your dad tweeting just after Wikileaks reached out to you on Oct 12, 2016 talking about how the press is "missing" stories.

Notice the similar complaint from your dad? pic.twitter.com/13WMdXyJk3

I liked the last tweet from that guy in the same string

"You guys were willfully conspiring with Wikileaks, which you knew was releasing emails hacked by Russia. You guys are guilty as fuck.

Fuck you. And fuck your dad."

strange that wikileaks claims it has no copies of the emails

they needed the space, for all of the things, that they leak

man, Shaun King has gone full Morbius today with his non stop Bill Clinton criticism. Like, there are more relevant fish to fry. time to stop following.

I unfollowed King last week when he was the one and only person in my feed defending Donna Brazile after she displaced Greenwald as Tucker Carlson's new favorite guest.

gone full Intercept

you guys have great criteria, gives me hope for the future, all 2 years of it.

criteria?? more like great bacteria!

looks like we're gonna get to relive the 90s

As gross and cynical and hypocrtical as the right's "what about Bill Clinton" stuff is, it's also true that Democrats and the center left are overdue for a real reckoning with the allegations against him.

I am 100% in support of making Bill Clinton's final years hell, fwiw

same tbh

Eyes on the ball ppl

My bubba antipathy is well documented but there are more important things to devote our energy to at the moment

down with all the creeps imho

lots can be done at the same time iirc

mvp work km

I like how the source mentioned by Wikileaks in the messages to DJTJr is "putintrump.org" which could be parsed "put in Trump" or "Putin Trump".

(obv it's the latter but to Donnie Jr it could have seemed like the former)

Damn KM on fire here

It's a subtle tribute to

One of the most accurate polls last time around. But #FakeNews likes to say we’re in the 30’s. They are wrong. Some people think numbers could be in the 50's. Together, WE will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! pic.twitter.com/YhrwkdObhP

Some people think we're closer to 100, aka Putin numbers.

"Some people think numbers could be in the 50's"

This really is how he thinks isn't it? It's not the actual number that researcher, y'know, come up with through research. No, if there's a John Doe in the street who'll say "but I believe the approval rate could be in the 50s!" that seals the deal. This guy.

i wonder if his staffers spent the asia trip desperately keeping him from learning about the moore situation, and now that he's back they're still trying to pump him up with flattering news in case he finally turns on the tv and sees it

btw that same rasmussen poll has his disapproval rating at 53%

some people say disapproval could be even higher.

rasmussen, the classic unbiased poll, has most people hating me, wonderful stuff

Also, 30s and 50s shouldn't be possessive - I fucking hate when people do that (and they usually do it for decades, too, which is also wrong).

Some people think Trump's approval could even be somewhere in the 1000s.

Sorry, the 1000's.

over 9000 iirc

Some people think.

Some people don't think.

Some people stink.

I'm 46% so why try harder

Given that Trump's reference to the always mysteriously-unattributed 'some people' very transparently means 'the people who exist solely in the mind of Donald Trump', what does it say about his sense of self-worth at this point that he can't even confidently muster the support of 50% of the voices in his head?

well, he wouldn't want to make it sound implausible.

it's like a kid changing a grade from an F to a c minus.

Remember the Trump judicial nominee who has never tried a case or argued a motion, and didn’t disclose that he’s married to a White House lawyer? He spent a year as a paranormal investigator. You can’t make this stuff up. https://t.co/63kDNqvDy7

Bragging about Rasmussen putting you at 46% is pretty sad

Deja Vu though. Didn't he do this already once?

Truly a cause for celebration.

"1 days since an employee was indicted for treason"

not a lot of people know this, but a lot of people are saying that the fake news won't tell you that no president has ever been approved by more than half of the population

Nobody knows it, but everybody's saying it.

That's actually not a bad summation of this particular moment in time.

of course I was right about the yearbook and the ink

it's different frickin' ink. She probably had a schoolmate named Roy who signed that and they added in the rest of it.

From the front it all looks black, but from the side it becomes more obvious.

Super disgusted with how sloppy this hitjob is. pic.twitter.com/0mvmC86B1e
