Trump freaks out before Comey testimoney: Accuses Clinton campaign of contact with Russia

[Skinner]

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
What about all of the contact with the Clinton campaign and the Russians? Also, is it true that the DNC would not let the FBI in to look?

1. As Malcolm Nance would say

the target is getting buggy

[Cracklin Charlie]

6. He's all kinda twitchy this morning.

Pace yourself, Assface...it's gonna be a long, bumpy ride!

[smirkymonkey]

13. *snort*

I love watching him squirm!

[wordpix]

88. he certainly had twitchy little fingers this a.m.

[wordpix]

76. What contact w/Clinton campaign? That's a new one on me

[apcalc]

78. HE MADE IT UP!

[thesquanderer]

83. There was plenty of contact between the Russians and the Clinton campaign...

...like when the Russians hacked them and stole their emails. That's contact, right?

[MFM008]

2. Wow this didn't

Take long. I just said this on another thread.......

[SummerSnow]

3. But your'e the POTUS Trump....

The Russians did what they did for YOU not Hillary

[janx]

4. My fear is that

this is only the beginning of the conspiracy theories. Four years of this?!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

5. OH MY GOD!?!?!??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bdamomma]

9. was that when she was

Secretary of State of course.

[AJT]

16. Wow, you can really feel the love in that room.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

21. He's literally slouching.

I think both he and his US mentee have a certain fear of strong women.

[hatrack]

27. For a moment, I thought you said "his US manatee" . . .

And then I realized it wasn't a totally incorrect statement.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

31. Good point, although manatees are cute and gentle creatures.

This is neither.

[zeusdogmom]

82. They may also be smarter

Certainly better looking

[Virtual Burlesque]

86. More like a Moray Eel than a Manatee. n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

34. That's more of a power gesture.

He's sitting with his legs apart - "manspreading," as it were, to take up more space and look more powerful - and he's leaning slightly backwards to indicate his dislike. Hillary is leaning in a bit (invading his space, symbolically) but with her legs and arms crossed protectively. They are trying to send each other power vibes with their body language. Putin doesn't like Hillary but he's not intimidated by her. Unlike SCROTUS, I don't think that guy intimidates easily.

[Hekate]

52. That's how I read their respective postures

[LuckyLib]

90. Hadn't heard the term "manspreading" -- but my first reaction to Putin was just that --

weird body language. He and dRump are alike in that they are visibly uncomfortable around women. And men too.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

93. "Manspreading" is usually used in the context of public transportation

but it is also seen elsewhere. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/manspreading

[LuckyLib]

94. Thanks. As women we've experienced it often -- I notice it in airline seats, when both legs AND

arms occupy all available space and then some.

[58Sunliner]

67. Is dementee a thing?

[paleotn]

40. thought the same....

Now there's two people who really, really don't like each other. Then again with Putin, what's there to like unless you're an authoritarian psycho.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

18. Yeah, but Donald don't care.

Any evidence that his campaign colluded with Russia will be responded by the fact that certain Democrats had official meetings with Putin on an official, public basis.

[apcalc]

81. They are PUBLIC events.

For all to see.

YUGE. Difference.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. Not a whole lot of love there.

They look like they're trying to evaporate each other with their laser eyeballs.

[dalton99a]

19. "Hillary, can I hack the DNC server and make up nasty stories about you so you can be president?"

[world wide wally]

63. The old stare back at him tactic

You'll never see Trump staring down Pootie

[BainsBane]

7. Hillary conspired with Putin to throw the election to Trump!

[dalton99a]

36. Perfectly logical conclusion.

[niyad]

75. of coursse--so obvious we should have realized it before!! (is it too early to start drinking????)

[longship]

79. Looks like he picked the wrong week?

[niyad]

80. snort!!

[AgadorSparticus]

8. He IS wetting his pants! He is scared shitless...

[dalton99a]

10. Keep tweeting, idiot

[AJT]

11. So, apparently the FBI is in the pocket of the DNC.....

[Bleacher Creature]

14. The "I know you are but what am I?" President

Somebody please tell me how we survive another 1,402 days of this!

[dalton99a]

24. The 70-year-old third-grader.

[FSogol]

30. +1, Exactly. n/t

[wordpix]

89. I think it's out of the Russn playbook: "I'm rubber & you're glue"

[KingCharlemagne]

15. "What-aboutism" is the surest sign of a consciousness of guilt! - nt

[uponit7771]

23. Yeap, its what Russians are known for in regards to distractions

[gratuitous]

53. As predictable as the sun rising in the east

The response from President Trump and his remaining supporters seems to get right back to whataboutery whenever he's caught with his little fingers in yet another cookie jar.

[LakeArenal]

56. "What-aboutism" Love it..

So "what about" gops saying Clinton's bad relationship with Russia was endangering the world... The gateway to WW!!!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

64. No. He has no conscience whatsoever, and so he never feels guilt

about anything. The "what about" thing is simply the response of a two-year old who'd been caught doing something bad and is trying very hard to deflect the adult who's caught him.

[KingCharlemagne]

68. He does project that 'terrible two' deflection gesture. Knew I had seen it somewhere, but

couldn't place it before now!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

69. Yeah. It's the kind of thing you sort of forget about if you no longer

(or never had) kids. And not all of them do that. And if they do, your best move as a parent is to not tolerate that attempt at deflection and make it crystal clear that the behavior you're calling them out on is completely unacceptable.

Generally speaking, if you're consistent about those things, your kids will grow up to be decent human beings. It is so clear that Trump was not only born a flawed human being, but that his parents didn't do a good job of setting limits.

[Cha]

17. trump, a little tweeting, cornered rabid rat..

[Maru Kitteh]

20. Jesus EFF. He's a goddamned bloated elderly child.

A chronically hypoxic baby-man whose global brain damage is swiftly causing global damage.

[uponit7771]

22. Yeah, leave out the fact that Russia helped him and not her... stupid ass'd Benedict Donald

[dalton99a]

26. He's tailoring his message to Trumpanzees

[uponit7771]

65. Yeap, but sooner or later reality is going to catch up to them.

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. He sounds just like his fans.

[dalton99a]

32. And the echo goes back and forth

He speaks the truth as far as they're concerned

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. Sorry, SCROTUS, your tactics are transparent, not to mention lame.

Every time he's on the hot seat for something he tries to flip the allegations around and argue that whoever's making the claim against him did it themselves.

That's an especially tough sell in this case, considering that Putin is known to dislike Hillary intensely because of her criticism of Russia's Parliamentary election and her open support of the protesters when she was SoS. And, of course, SCROTUS has told us over and over that Putin is his BFF.

Dumbass.

[ginnyinWI]

51. what might work in the business world does not work here.

[Johnny2X2X]

29. I know you are but what am I?

He's moved on from the I am rubber you are glue defense and moved on to the I know you are but what am I defense. Interesting, he's going to claim Obama and Hillary were sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G soon, of course this is all a moot point if he can demonstrate that Hillary does in fact have Cooties.

[furtheradu]

38. ..

[ismnotwasm]

33. Jesus

"The DNC would not let the FBI in to look"--he's babbling again.

[workinclasszero]

35. The god emperor

is soiling his adult depends!

Gee I wonder why?

[58Sunliner]

73. Originally a propaganda poster of Stalin and child.

There are several different propaganda posters that were made to make people believe Stalin was a friend of children. Interesting reading about the horrors of disinformation.

‘The Littlest Enemies’: Children of the Stalinist Era

By Victoria Bird.



The Stalinist era was characterized by extensive terror and repression, with large numbers of the Soviet population living in fear of the ‘knock on the door’ that could signify arrest, exile, imprisonment or execution. This climate of fear even extended to young children, many of whom were terrified of the day when their parents would ‘disappear’. Children who lost their parents as a result of Stalin’s Terror were affected in a number of different ways. Some were interned in Gulag camps along with their parents; some were deported to live in exile in remote regions with their families and some were forced into Soviet orphanages. Those who were left behind were stigmatized and ostracized, often even by other family members who feared punishment if they were seen to be helping the child of an ‘enemy of the people’, so were left to fend for themselves on the city streets. Whatever their ultimate fate, these children all found themselves marginalized, persecuted, rejected and forgotten by mainstream society. Instead their lives became dominated by a daily battle for survival, a battle that sadly many did not win.



‘Thank You, Dear Comrade Stalin for a Happy Childhood!’



Stalinist propaganda worked very hard to present childhood as a happy and positive time. Children were presented as the loyal socialists of the future, and Stalin was portrayed as the ‘little father’ raising the next generation of new Soviet men and women. Posters showing children praising Stalin were put up everywhere, often including the caption ‘Thank You, Dear Comrade Stalin, for a Happy Childhood’, while communist youth groups such as the Young Pioneers (for children aged 9-14) and the Komsomol (ages 14-18) were set up to provide children with a range of extra-curricular activities including parades, theater outings, sporting events and summer camps which many would otherwise not have had access to.

[workinclasszero]

84. Thanks for the history, very interesting

[58Sunliner]

96. My pleasure.

[R B Garr]

87. Interesting! Thx. nt

[NCTraveler]

37. Is it true that you(Trump) enjoy watching women pee on themselves?

Is it true that you(Trump) think about future sexual exploits with girls as young as ten?

Is it true that you(Trump) are in debt to close ties to the Kremlin to the tune of hundreds of millions?

[retrowire]

39. Man he's so quick to deflect and distract

That it's reminiscent of a child being caught doing something wrong.

[Kablooie]

41. His standard formula is always accuse your attacker of what they Discovered about you.

He has done it without fail.
It's meant to confuse and distract and usually works.

[Jonny Appleseed]

42. Flashback:Moscow had contacts with Trump team during campaign, Russian diplomat says

Speaking to Bloomberg News, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said staffers at the Russian Embassy in Washington met with members of Trump’s campaign — meetings she described as “normal practice.” Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign refused similar requests for meetings, Zakharova told the agency.

[Dopers_Greed]

43. He's nervous because he know's he's going to spend the rest of his life in prison

I wonder if his orange (or rather, flesh tone in Chump's case) jumpsuit will be as ill-fitting as the other suits he wears.

[logosoco]

44. This is beyond crazy.

I figured we would get here with a Trump in office, but this is so much sooner and even more crazy than I thought!

I think what we are seeing here is a case of a person who has lived their ENTIRE lives inside of some make believe bubble, and then they are put in a VERY public job and they are unable to do it because they really do not have a solid understanding of how the world works!

[paleotn]

45. doomed.

whether he knows it or not, he is doomed.

[malaise]

46. Granny used to say

Sometimes it is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Groper Don the Con has been caught.

[MoonRiver]

47. The words unhinged and demented perfectly describe this national embarrassment.

[Lucky Luciano]

48. Of course. nt

[Tanuki]

49. He is holding another "campaign rally " tonight in Louisville.

He will probably console himself by stirring up a round of "lock her up" chanting among his audience of stalwart deplorables.

[dalton99a]

50. One of these days he'll play the Russian national anthem

and his audience will think it's great

[Hekate]

55. I trust the angry crowd outside will be bigger than the one inside

Go, Dems!

[fishwax]

54. Yeah, the Russians had a lot of contact with the Clinton campaign. Not consensual, though.

Getting your emails hacked by the Russians isn't the same as colluding with them or being financed by them, dumbass.

[Freethinker65]

57. But Wikileaks already leaked all of the worst emails from Clinton and the DNC

You know, Donnie, the leaks you were applauding during the campaign when you refused to disclose your tax returns and business holdings. Or is your memory failing you? Just make something up to deflect like KellyAnne taught you.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

58. So he wants the answers from US citizens?

As if we have answers to his questions. He should be talking to government agencies about his questions, not us. President shouldn't be using social media for speculation.

[SunSeeker]

70. He cannot fathom what it means to be President and never will. nt

[Kber]

59. Da fuck is is he talking about?

[underpants]

77. This. This was big in RW world just last week. Clinton campaign people met with Russians.

[mobeau69]

60. There have been many moronic tweets from ass mouth but this one may be

the most utterly ridiculous.

Hey asshole, that dog ain't gonna hunt. Full Stop.

[LudwigPastorius]

61. ...and another load of feces comes flying out of his tweet hole.

[Xolodno]

62. He doth protest too much.

Right leaning friends I have on Facebook are rather quiet this morning.

[Achilleaze]

66. repubes are way past the republican LIE allotment

Hell, they were way past it long ago. Stop telling freaking republican lies to the American people.

Just stop it, you freaking republican liars and traitors

[lpbk2713]

71. That's always been one of their favorite tactics.

Point fingers and accuse the other side of what they are most guilty of.

[milestogo]

72. If the Clinton campaign had contact with Russia it was initiated by Russian hacking.

I hardly think the Dems can be blamed for that.

[lark]

74. Doesn't he seem so demented and desperate?

He must be really, really afraid, which he should be because he's guilty as hell. Trying to deflect from his claim about Obama because he knows for certain Comey will say it's not true. He shot himself in the foot and is trying to get people to look away. Stupid asshole only makes himself look even more guilty. He wouldn't be having a heart attack like this if it there wasn't meat to the collusion charge that he's desperately trying to get us to forget.

[barbtries]

85. he pulls shit out of his ass

and flings it at twitter.

we see through you now. be scared, be very scared.

my sons are skeptical but i believe that this is what will bring him down. hopefully soon.

[karynnj]

91. He seems to retweet what ever is trending in the RW sewer

What is really amazing is that few of us here will post similar far left stories if the only sources are not credible --- and we are anonymous posters on a message board. None of us have 17 intelligence agencies and thousands of highly intelligence, serious people in carreer postions throughout the administartion who could be asked for analysis on these CT.

[Blue_Tires]

92. Look for Fox, RT, and the Intercept to take that ball and run with it

and don't be surprised if Assange has another timely "leak" planned...

[H2O Man]

95. Trump will have

a very difficult time after today's House hearing. Hopefully, he will document his torment on twitter.

[Beartracks]

97. Soooooo Presidential.
