Question

Quoted from a NY Times article, AFTER the White House defended the Swedes "V.P. Pence AND the FBI" tweetsWhile Mr. Trump&#x2019;s tweet on Saturday raised questions about what he knew, he did not actually write it, according to two people briefed on the matter. It was composed by his top personal lawyer, John Dowd, who was in contact with Mr. Trump on Friday and Saturday, trying to calm him after Mr. Flynn&#x2019;s guilty plea.So now the Swede will be able to hide behind "someone else tweeted that, under my name" since John Dowd is saying he has access to the Swedes Twitter account and posting privileges.&#x201C;someone tweeted that under my name&#x201D; could become as famous&#xD;&#xA;as Tricky Dick&#x2019;s &#x201C;that is no longer the operative statement, this is the new&#xD;&#xA;operative statement&#x201D;

i mentioned this before. trump is so f*cking stupid ir insane or whatever the problem is, he tweets things he really shouldn't and can be used against him or the admninistration in court. it happened during the hearings on the muslim ban business. but, my point was, can you really prove he was the one who tweeted these things. we all know he did, but "we all know" isn't a legal evidentiary standard. he could always deny later.

this recent tweet is arguably admitting a federal offense. apparently, this dowd guy realized this and stepped in to say he tweeted it (of course he didn't) to shield trump.

i'm going to send trump and dowd a bill for legal services since he probably read my post and developed this defense as a result.

insanity.

On the Trump Train, we love Trump&#x2019;s tweets.

All of it &amp; the different facets is pretty interesting, but very sad overall. Will be fascinating to see how the cult like Trumpers respond as it becomes more &amp; more obvious what has really transpired while the lies are exposed. Or do they just not care?? If the Trumpian rise as done anything of value, it has shone a bright light on the need for watchdogs &amp; broader political participation in the US. Maybe like Israel &amp; their 2 yr mandatory military service, we should have the same in regards to some form of political involvement?

Read Topic and thought misdirection was about HRC saying new plan will only affect Wealthy! When she should&#x27;ve said... Plan will  help people like herself and her kind

Cashin, please explain what &#x201C;really has transpired&#x201D;. Do you have the ability or do you just throw sentences like that out there.

HockeyTeeth · Answer

Hey cash, Do you mean forcing citizens to participate in the political process on some level? Mandatory? Not happening.

Personally id like to see people graded on whether they have the competence to vote. That would make more sense. My guess is most facebook warriors (suburban housewives) would flunk. Ever tried to discuss politics with todays "mordern informed working woman", just a rehash of talking points from daily headlines. Ask them who are the world leaders of syria, iran for instance, give them pen and paper. 9 of ten would hand in a blank sheet. Ask them to write the best picture nominees 8 of ten would hit. Most of these people dont understand what collusion is. No concept. If you told them the US government routinely interferes in foreign elections coups/overthrows, regime change and the like, they would be dumbfounded. Never heard of it.

Just sayin. There are uneducated, uniformed people casting votes.

Of course you do. You can&#x27;t read him any better than you can read the Constitution of the United States. Please take down the Kennedy avatar, you have nothing in common with him. Is Jack Sprat&#x27;s kid (born in Kenya) an American citizen or not? If he lives 14 years in the U.S. and attains the age of 35 is he eligible to run for POTUS?

KeyElement · Answer

Probably why the Swede enjoys bragging so much about his un-reality TV show. He feels star power is a qualification for office. When Justin Bieber reaches 35 the Facebook housewives will probably be trying to nominate him.

INaD - like I said, for anyone who has followed it all closely from the beginning, it's fairly obvious that some form of collusion/quid pro quo took place. As well as obstruction of justice. Not going into a timeline of all of Trump's trademark penchant for gaslighting/misdirection & lies by him & his surrogates, but for anyone with a smidgeon of logic/common sense as well as objectivity, anything else is just not plausible in any regard.

Trump would have loved to have been able to operate here as Putin does/can in Russia but in his narcissistic arrogance he either didn't fully understand &/or thought he could override minor things like the constitution, rule of law & our separation of powers. Now it's Mueller time & in the words of a song, "there's no place to run to baby, no place to hide". My guess is he'll wish to God he never ran because it could get alot worse for him & his fam/cabal after all the financial stuff/taxes are combed thru thoroughly.

HT - actually that was just a thought I had while writing the post. Indeed, it somewhat goes to what you wrote that I in large part agree with. Obviously, the hope &amp; goal would be to educate &amp; increase awareness/understanding of our political system at a much broader level &amp; younger age. Not necessarily involved in the process, but possibly leading to it at some point. It&#x27;s obvious we need diifferent types (more selfless &amp; actually serving the needs of the people) of leaders in both parties. Without getting the big money/influence from not only big corps but also extremely wealthy fams out of our political system, not sure that&#x27;s possible but apathy is not an option as those changes ultimately must come from our political system itself..

cashin · Answer

Btw - this advertising gimmick/slogan like MAGA makes me sick. Though understandable in some ways, amazing how many have bought his BS. You don&#x27;t &amp; will never get wine from pure D crap &amp; a clever but corrupt/conniving carnival barker. But it&#x27;s worked for him all his life, so not surprising it&#x27;s all he has.
