Trump's America, March 2017: Using His Inside VOICE

I just tried to figure out if any member of a committee can issue a subpoena or just the chair, and its...unclear at best.

from https://twitter.com/DKThomp/status/838446582743859200

1/ trump’s hunger for news-like sources that confirm his worldview is building a conspiracy theory feedback loop that will get stronger

2/ if you thought the incentives for clickbait headlines were bad, imagine the incentives for trumpbait news...

3/ if i’m an alt-right writer in trump’s orbit, the last 48 hours show that trump will lavish valuable attention on theories w/o evidence

4/ it is the perfect marriage of convenience: right-wing media sources provide ersatz “intel,” and trump rewards them with publicity

5/ … and the best stories hit the media jackpot: not just attn, but influence. congress is launching an investigation based on tweets!

6/ you don’t need a media dictatorship to build 21st-c Pravda; in the right conditions, it will self-construct under attn-driven economics

The original source of the rumour that Trump / Trump Tower were bugged appears to have been Louise Mensch (something she now seems to deny saying). This was picked up by Breitbart and then on to Trump - whose reaction triggered more Heat Street speculation. You have a feedback loop of people who should lock themselves in an airtight room and lose the key.

if fuckin' only

Louise Mensch must be made up that someone is treating her as something other than a posh troll.

The feedback loop might grow stronger but it is not getting bigger. If anything it is shrinking and getting denser, like a black hole.

somehow i missed this tweet. this is the saddest tweet i've ever seen. he is officially four years old.

Maybe the millions of people who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN should have their own rally. It would be the biggest of them all!

The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, asked the Justice Department this weekend to publicly reject President Trump’s assertion that President Barack Obama ordered the tapping of Mr. Trump’s phones, senior American officials said on Sunday. Mr. Comey has argued that the highly charged claim is false and must be corrected, they said, but the department has not released any such statement.

how could he watch so much tv but never have seen an episode of law & order that makes it clear how wiretapping works

he probably thinks that if you're the president you just get some guys, and say to the guys, go in there and tap this, and they install some whatevers, super covertly, and then the president sits there in his office with special headphones

That was my theory months ago: that's probably exactly how he thinks it works! Like an episode of "24" or some shitty Hollywood movie. He probably walks around pointing to pixelating images demanding "enhance!!!"

how great would it be if louise mensch accidentally brought down the trump administration and became a liberal hero against her will

Meltdown ? No just a typical Saturday night kicking liberal ass in the #STONEZONE

Cool guy

I'm not a vengeful person but I really need to see all these clowns go to prison

just a regular joe with a massive richard nixon tattoo nbd

obviously some whopping grains of salt needed here but: https://twitter.com/20committee/status/838514662949928961

@20committee The keepers of this intel have the patriotic duty to leak it to WikiLeaks ASAP.

Fight Like Hell!@20committee Wikileaks won't release it. Needs to go to WaPo or NYT.

@aspen7698 @chasehrlich @20committee Or Teen Vogue

oh good -- another week distracting the Congress from ACA repeal and a budget.

Not meant as a rhetorical question: if the entire country were focused on ACA repeal and the budget, would that actually slow whatever's going to happen down any? I thought the Republicans have safe majorities in both houses.

Is that Nixon tattoo thing for real? I saw a pic on someones FB and thought it was a joke!

It's real. He's a maniac.

It is real

ty for that, i was wondering if i had misremembered the tweet about his contact with assange or if it was just deleted

Well, once you delete something from the internet, it never happened and there's no way for anyone to prove otherwise. Everybody over the age of sixty knows that.

Exactly how much different is it to this tho tbh

I've been trying to think what exactly Flynn reminds me of. I think there's a specific Orc from the LOTR series that he always reminded me of.

Isn't Stone supposedly a swinger as well?

in reality it it not some guys, it is sidney bristow

Every tough rightist in the Nixon and Reagan White Houses had boners for other men.

lol matthewtkk, that is spot on

Does it need to be pointed out that "20 Committee" is a WWII reference? 20 = XX in roman numerals = double-cross...

Also for some reason that Nixon tattoo makes me think of Church of the Subgenius

Who is that Nordic metal guy who dresses up like some kind of orc creature? Flynn looks like that guy.

Can you be more specific?

Mortiis?

Ah, beat me to it!

mortiis?

from that WaPo article Ned linked:

Pressed by NBC’s Chuck Todd to explain Trump’s wiretapping claim, Rubio demurred.

“Look, I didn’t make the allegation,” he said. “I’m not the person that went out there and said it.”

He looked like he shaved and had growth hormones for his appearance this morning!
