This is getting ridiculous now...... Breaking : The whiplash I am getting from contradictions.




The White House says U.S. President Donald Trump believes Russia would target the U.S. elections again and believes the threat from the country still exists




Sanders says Trump was saying no to more questions when he said no earlier today, not no to the question about Russia targeting the U.S. Reporters in the room said it was clear he was answering the question. Typically when he is done answering questions, Trump says, "Thank you."

Christ on a bike, will this ever effing end. Didn't he just say the complete opposite 2 hrs ago.

to keep the media and citizens screwed up and confused...this is purposeful. Yes, he is crazy and he thrives on chaos, but he also is using it as a distraction tool. We can NOT follow shiny distractions!

when you know it's Gaslighting, it's not exactly artful.

it's simply that, as POTUS, he has the ability to Gaslight at will, and the press has very little ability to hold his feet to the fire.

Particularly with State Media to support him.

Has he slapped sanctions on Putin? Has he demanded the extradition of the Russian spies? Has he demanded action from congress, the DOJ or the Intelligence Services? Has he helped the investigation in any way? Has he done anything at all to protect our polling stations and ballot boxes???

Remember he said Russia wasn't involved because he believed Putin, but then asked why Obama didn't do something about it. Do something about what, you dolt? 10 seconds ago you said that nothing happened.

and told his listeners that if Trump says it we should believe it, because the intel community is the real enemy of the United States.

I only listened for five minutes out of curiosity to see how the Right was handling Donnie Two Scoops' traitorous action, but even that little dip into the cesspool has got me wanting to do this:
