Whether there is validity or not in what the pathological liar says, it sure indicates that either this is trump doing Russia's bidding, being pissed at China because they are not kow towing to trumps tarriffs, trying to distract from the Russia investigation, and setting up a distraction from everything going on.


While I have no doubt foreign interests do spy on us, as we spy on them, I am reminded by the sincerity that Colin Powel showed with his speech at the U.N. when he held those two vials up saying Iraq was on the verge of using WMDs against the world

1. Wasn't Powell lying when he said that?

3. Yes. I believe he claimed he was misled with the information that was given to him

[kentuck]

2. It's a false equivalency he wants people to believe...

See! It's not just Russia that does it! China does it too.

So, it's no big deal. Never mind that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians.

4. I think there are a lot of things played here

5. Did you see the reaction when China's rep looked startled and was shaking his head,

he lifted his hands and was shrugging his shoulders before the camera moved back to Trump.

6. I wonder why trump didn't metion Russia's involvement also in the midterms, since the FBI has told

the public Russia is still involved in election interference

7. Sooo , when Democrats win the midterms it's because China interfered?

Is this another Trump misdirection play ? Sounds about right to me.

8. Right.. the big Buffoon always has an

excuse why he's a Loser.

Now he's lying that China wants the Dems to win so badly they'll be hacking our election. It couldn't be that he's such a heinous monster that voters want him shut down.

[jaysunb]

9. Correct.

I would call him a master manipulator, but he only has a small group that believe his bull shit, the rest are the 1% overlords that are probably highly amused and pleased with their useful stooge.
