Your thoughts on Trump accusing Obama of phone tapping?

subpat · F
He's paranoid and delusional.
CassandraFemale17 · 26-30, F
He is calculating, and likely knows exactly what he is doing.

The press scurry and devote 24/7 to this story, meanwhile he was slipping away to Florida for the umpteenth time and no one was covering that. Golf too....and he berated Obama for years for playing golf.

It also took Jeff Sessions and the Russians off the top banner of all the news.

Now he implements another 'Muslim' ban, and that story will get less coverage than it otherwise would have, as reporters trip over each other all proclaiming the same thing....'Obama didn't have the authority to act unilaterally in requesting a tap. the FBI or Justice would have had to go before a FISA court, present enough credible evidence a crime was committed, and then have it granted if the judge too believes a crime was involved.

Don't listen to what Trump says. It is hyperbole, diversion, deflection, and masterfully manipulative.

Watch what he is doing After he has said it. He throws smoke bombs to give himself cover elsewhere. Then he goes out and ruins lives.
Well said

Is a distraction from the investigation of trump's tie to Russia, which is probably having accepted campaign contributions from them.

If you're trying to distract from one investigation the last thing you'd do is request the two things be investigated together.
jehova · 31-35, M
i'm not saying he thought it through, it might just be a publicity stunt too

Deliberate diversion
Smoke screen.

He just wants to divert attention from the serious and illegal activities he and his staff are involved on.

Paranoid much? The president needs to be committed. Trust me, I know crazy, and this guy is unwell.
CassandraFemale17 · 26-30, F
Look through the news too, to see if there are other stories Trump wants to bump down, and not keep from the eyes of the people.

Today there is a story linking a Trump hotel deal to Azerbaijan nefarious characters (Trumps partners in the deal) with ties to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

Will that get much coverage? No way. Coz Trump said nasty nasty about Obama.

Coincidence?
I doubt it

@CassandraFemale17: True, but we cannot imply an equivalence here... this guy made a claim that Putin's Russia shares the same best interests of the US. But in order for even *him* to justifiably believe that he needs to give at least 2 examples for his own statement to be true even just in his mind... In fact, he cannot because this thought is false and is only protected by cognitive dissonance not even by his own system of logic. So he might be heartfelt and believe his opinion strongly, but it cannot be equated to our opinion... at least in this case... BTW I entirely agree with you about the double standard they have for Trump vs. Obama
CassandraFemale17 · 26-30, F
@bearthebear: in my experience, he is a troll.

He has nothing to do.
He will have you type all night long.
He will never agree with you.
He is polls apart with reality.
But he enjoys the interaction, and enjoys thinking he is annoying the other person.

It becomes about his opinions and beliefs, and not about Trumps.
He is nobody. So I chose to 'why bother?'

I'd rather be talking about what Trump is actually doing, and not what liscar, or whatever his name is, thinks.
@CassandraFemale17: I agree with you and I've blocked him.
revenant · F
it is real; been documentated many times. Too bad the DNC never found any real stories with proof against Trump.
@revenant: It's ok, maybe you could see about enrolling in a community college or something.
revenant · F
@bearthebear: can you find better you libtard ? nope.
CassandraFemale17 · 26-30, F
@revenant: that's the first and only thing you said that is correct. Stupid, you most definitely are. In spades.
That buffoon in the White House doesn't even know how to spell the word 'evidence' let alone understand what it means.
Trying to deflect attention from the Russia scandals. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-flynn-idUSKBN15T226

Watergate took nearly two years to unravel. Nixon even won re-election during the scandal, in its early days.

Nixon didn't burglarize anything.
But he was neck deep in the cover-up, and was hands on.

That was his demise.

A brilliant political tactician, who was mean, petty, small-minded, vindictive, and micro-managed himself into infamy.



Again, I truly hope this won't be the same case here, but the more time goes by, the more absolutely unhinged Teump seems, so the sooner he is given his pink slip, the better.

@lacsar: speaking of witch hunts our president this weekend accused the former president with wire tapping his lines at Trump Tower. It's beside the point a President can't authorize or ask for a wiretap. That's Justice Department area of lawful duties. he has offered no proof and the FBI and DNI are denying forcefully that no such actions were taken.

@subpat: I was wondering why I can't read lacsar's comments. Then I remember I blocked him because of his trolling and making it personal with insults.

There were a few I've had to do that with.
I still can't read what he's saying, and I hope he can't read what I say.

One of his fantasies, lies, fake news, alternative facts or however you want to call it... 🤥

Probably a distraction tactic just like his misspellings.🙄

Nonsense and a distraction from the real issues

Either way he's a piece of shit ... changes nothing as far as I'm concerned ...him and his cabinet of racists billionaires pfffft

@Chernobylplayground: Always nice to see some left wing moron projecting their shittiness onto someone else. Even nicer to see it blow back onto their own face. Here, take this box of Kleenex. It will get you clean enough so you can see to get to the sink.

@katielass: You enjoy picking arguments, as per usual ...all because someone doesn't share the same opinion as you ...I wasn't addressing you in the first place ...move along
So his big scheme to get people to stop looking into his dealings with the Russians is to accuse the previous administration of being concerned with his involvement with the Russians? I mean...wut? Isn't that sort of like saying, "I absolutely did not knock over that liquor store and kill that crackhead to steal his meth, and my lawyer has advised me to take the Fifth for my upcoming court date on just that issue"?
CassandraFemale17 · 26-30, F
We already knew the previous administration was concerned. He did too. His accusations were not to point out their concern.

His accusations are likely either the actions of a totally unhinged person, or he is tripping the closer the investigation gets to him. I forget the phrase the police use when a suspect starts to get all nervy as they know arrest is forthcoming.
If that is not the case, then diversion is another good motive. And he is an expert in that.

Your analogy didn't match the case.

More like I did not knock over that liquor store. The fact there is broken glass in my hand, blood on my shoes, and I stink of scotch just means Obama had purposely rigged the liquor cabinet so that when I went to grab the bottle of liquor marked DO NOT DRINK, I didn't know it said DO NOT DRINK, because Obama had sabotaged it, and turned the label backwards.

My lawyer represents me, and the liquor company who say their bottles are un-knock-over-able.

Can someone please take the nameplate 'President Obama' off of the Oval Office door??????


Trumpomaniac, get over it. He isn't the President anymore. You are.
And for that, god help us all.

*******

For the record, Trump doesn't drink a drop of liquor.
I'm hoping he's got Alzheimer's setting in.

It's a bunch of silly business is what it is.
politics have amusing moments
Despicable. And completely in keeping with Trump's cowardly, irresponsible behavior all along.
GJOFJ3 · 61-69, M
I believe the wiretaps happened but there is no you will find a link back to Obama.
katielass · F
I would not be at all surprised if obama spied on Trump. obama lied to the FISA court in order to spy on James Rosen and the AP. He probably either lied to the court again or he and some of his supporters just did it on their own.

Without a doubt. It's the reason I say terrible things about him when I'm on the phone.

Btw, clapper. Really?

he is right. This Obama guy is more super fishy.

Trump tweeted it. Should we not believe he tweeted it? He created the story himself.
