(26,259 posts)President Obama had to surrender his Blackberry (I think that's what he used to use).

(14,169 posts)because not only do Republicans remain silent, but so do Democrats. At least relatively quiet.
Republicans will rally and get their troops out to every news station, with their talking points all coordinated, and their fake anger acting method prepared, and make a mountain out of the smallest of mole hills, like a sleeveless Michelle or a mom's jean's wearing Barack.
Or pick out one tiny tangent of a story, and conflate it into a huge scandal. And be relentless on it for weeks. Like how much Obama is golfing!!! (yes I know the irony)

(5,106 posts)The Democrats never seem to learn how to come back. Once the meme of the "biased liberal media" took hold, it was as if the Republicans got a pass on everything, and could make every liberal mole hill into a mountain.

It's OK if you're a Republican

(2,488 posts)Would not be surprised if he is pushing 300. My best guess is 275.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)that he is in no way 6'3" tall
In the pic below, the 6'3" Alex Rodriguez is leaning into Trump and is clearly at least a few inches taller.

(508 posts)Neither picture shows a true height comparison due to the fact the one person is closer to the camera than TraitorTrump is.

(3,115 posts)Camera positioning is all over the place, and Dumpie still remains dwarflike. Never reaches the 5" shorter than Comey he claims to be.
exboyfil
(17,862 posts)would intercept and release the transcript demonstrating discussion of sensitive, even classified, information on an unsecured cell phone. It would put the Clinton thing to bed once and for all. It might even lead to impeachment (I wish).
erronis
(15,228 posts)who he's really talking to.
Every russian/chinese/israeli/mexican/somali/etc. country is angling to be a "cell tower" for comms in the DC area.
With an unsecured phone, the closest one MIGHT win out.
Since science and reason aren't high up on this administration's (or repuglicon's) criteria, we'll continue to be bested by others.

Eliot Rosewater
(31,109 posts)These were all examples of where they could count on the media to do their hypocrisy for them.
In the case of Benghazi, before that ambassador was killed he was the kind of person a deplorable DESPISED. Obama appointed life long diplomat.
So no, they never cared one iota about Benghazi.
FuzzyRabbit
(1,967 posts)I doubt that he even knows about "stingrays".

(82,849 posts)I am confident that Trump's private cell phone communications are being intercepted by friend and foe alike all over the planet. They'd be derelict in their duty to their own country if they didn't. But what's the point of tipping off their personal sucker and losing this direct line into the Oval Office? This is better than any bug or listening device.
The question is, why are congressional leaders not doing jack-squat about this security breach?

Now if he were more than just an employee of the Kremlin it could be a problem but he's just following protocol.

BigmanPigman
(51,584 posts)I wonder if our spies can bug his cell phone and use it against him? If it is not secure than that means anyone can get into his system (that includes foreign countries and our own FBI and CIA).
George II
(67,782 posts).....and nominated a rogue war monger, is anyone surprised?

(3,515 posts)Everything they claim to disapprove of from budget deficits to sexual improprieties, they do. What's more they go out of their way to nominate and vote for people who do what they claim to disapprove of.
It's just amazing to me.
Do what I say, not what I do is the Republican mantra.
They are despicable, not just deplorable.

(1,262 posts)Question for those out there who know the law:
Wouldn't it be easier for Mueller to get a court to issue a warrant for a wiretap on Trump's personal cell phone?
Sancho
(9,067 posts)he has a server in tRump tower to talk to the Russians, a back channel in the Indian Ocean, and about 200 Russian operatives on his staff...and God only knows what he says to the hookers in bed!
At this point, the cell phone is irrelevant.
