I honestly don't know whether to laugh or cry.

20. Maybe more than you realize!!!

"Today television news is watched more often than people read newspapers, than people listen to the radio, than people read or gather any other form of communication. The reason: People are lazy. With television you just sit - watch - listen. The thinking is done for you." - From the 1970 White House memo found in the Nixon presidential library titled, “A Plan for Putting the GOP on TV News.” believed to have been written by future convict, Chuck Colson. (Emphasis in the original.)

This memo would lead, years later, to the founding of Fox News.

Richard Nixon didn’t have Fox. Donald Trump does. That's the difference. Not acoincidence, That's what Fox was created to do.

5. Sadly, the time has passed that this was funny

Willful ignorance is the best friend of a con man.

6. I'm frankly surprised they copped to not reading it!

[Arkansas Granny]

7. They don't need to read it. Trump told them all they need to know.

8. ouch!

my head hurts!

9. I read the White House's notes on the call

The actual transcript is under lock and key, right?

[Arkansas Granny]

11. That's my understanding. All we've been able to read is a summary.

[magicarpet]

22. Yes correct,...

The Zelinsky call,...

We have read only the summary of that call.
The DOJ/billy barr doctored summary of the call. Once again,.. the doctored summary of the transcript of that call. But we have never seen the word for word transcript of the actual call. The actual transcript is locked away in a top secret data base were very limited people have access, all others are locked out from reviewing the word for word record of the actual call.

10. They are so afraid to find out they are wrong, that in fact they voted for a criminal

That is all that is.

I think that should be a follow up question..."You have not read the transcript because you are afraid you could be wrong about trump, that he, in fact, committed bribery?"

[smirkymonkey]

12. Unbelievable.

How do people like this get through the day without electrocuting themselves?

[llmart]

13. To be fair here...

we've always had these kinds of people in our country. The difference these days is that because of social media and the internet, these kinds of people now think they're "informed" and "smart" and the media keeps giving them air time and hanging on their every word.

[magicarpet]

23. This idiocy, stupidity, fascistic behavior,...

.... have all been celebrated and fully and absolutely N-O-R-M-A-L-I-Z-E-D by trDump.

40% of AmeriKKKa worships trDump because he knows how to trigger liberals and commie socialists.

[3Hotdogs]

14. How many of us have read it? I haven't.

[SeattleVet]

17. Nobody has read the actual transcript...

but I did read the summary of the call that the WH released the day it was made available (the one that tRump insists on calling the 'transcript').

[Arkansas Granny]

21. I have read what was made available to us, which is just a summary of the call.

15. Dunning-Kruger Effect

MAGAt's are walking talking living examples of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

[colorado_ufo]

16. Ron White said it some time ago:

"There is no cure for stupid."

[Alpeduez21]

18. What this kind of skit fails to understand

is repukes don't fucking care. This is a war and their generals have told them to say this and believe it. What is not very clearly appreciated by the left is repukes have been told by Limbaugh, FOR DECADES, "I read the news so you don't have to." The power of the right's media is absolute. Fucking Limbaugh is invited to the swear in ceremony for new repukes in congress AND THEY KISS HIS ASS!

Fucking logic won't change their minds. Reason won't change their minds. They have to be defeated. Over and over and over again. Get out the vote. We are depending on the under 35 crowd and, historically, they don't vote. GET OUT THE VOTE!!

[panfluteman]

19. This is probably the most brazen lie of Donald Trump to date.

Trump is a master of playing his base for fools - they're total suckers, they're mindless sheep. The transcript is one of the most damning pieces of evidence we have against Donald Trump - released by the White House. The guy waiting for Trump for hours could have read the transcript in a few minutes.
