Nicely done. Effective and you didn't need to resort to clumsy vulgarity. I'll throw a like on that post.

Apparently you can learn.

I understand the urge to hijack the thread and talk about cussin' to avoid the substance- but let's get back on topic at some point, please?

As you told me (and anyone who would question the context of your (otherwise totally-unassailable, I'm sure) tweet-screenshots) to "shut the fuck up," I'm not sure what else of substance there is to say.

LURES all caps should be an acronym or a operation name. Spies are not lures. Even stranger danger in the car is not a lure. Lures are things like candy and puppies if you are fishing for kids. Other stuff if you are fishing for non kids.

McCabe Requests Immunity In Exchange For Congressional Testimony

Wait, what? We’ve obviously come a full 180° from the place where Democrats were proclaiming McCabe’s innocence; and we’ve entered the phase where McCabe is requesting criminal immunity in exchange for testimony about what he knows of the corrupt FBI operations in 2016 and 2017.

#Spygate – President Trump Highlights Lou Dobbs Segment Outlining December 2015 FBI CoIntel Operation….

“You get all our oconus lures approved?”
“OCONUS” means Outside Contiguous U.S. “LURES” in this context is ‘spies’; or as Chris Farrell discusses, likely double agents. The messages were December 28th, 2015.

•Peter Strzok asking Lisa Page: Did you get all our outside U.S. spies approved?
•Lisa Page responds: “No, it’s just implicated a much bigger policy issue. I’ll explain later. Might even be able to use it as a pretext for a call…”

The implication is this could have been the pre-planning for #Spygate. This is what Lou Dobbs and Chris Farrell are discussing; and apparently President Trump noticed:

You are sticking with Lygate, Pizzagate's bigger brother, so why not? This basically seems like texts found to cobble into theories. Because of course the FBI couldn't possibly be working on anything else. Their whole lives were consumed by Trump, which is why it was so ineffective.

One instance lures in lowercase might make sense as traps for trolling Russians. But Trump has to be at the center of everything and apparently you haven't met a piece of Lygate you don't see as shiny gold so have at it. Have a slice a pizza and all that other crap made up from Podesta emails. Its not like the spinners would do this again...

I like this Comey tweet:

Dangerous time when our country is led by those who will lie about anything, backed by those who will believe anything, based on information from media sources that will say anything. Americans must break out of that bubble and seek truth.

Found it in this NY Times article.

www.nytimes.com/2018/05/24/us/politics/fact-check-trump-clapper-spying-fbi-wrong-.html

Whatever the truth about any of this is, the one thing we should all be able to agree on is that James Comey is the most self-absorbed, batshit crazy sunuvabitch ever to rise through the ranks of the FBI. Hillary would have (and should have) fired him quicker than Trump did. If you don't know that Comey is completely without credibility, I'm not sure you will be able to see anything else clearly.

Well, I don't agree. It does seem though that some of those words really work better on someone else. I wonder if Trump is spending his own money to get this amazing spin. The Russian troll factories have nothing on the RW shit spinners. They've been mining those texts for months and suddenly this latest "shock" has come up.

Its too bad when the dust clears we won't be able to prosecute any of them for endangering national security. Maybe after the midterms would be a good time to push for laws against such lies and slander.

And I'm sure in your reality, President Trump is pure as the driven snow.  He worked tirelessly and made great sacrifices for his country and is the most credible person in the USA.

I believe NK's dictator Kim is a big fan of Hollywood, too.

And Hitler was a failed art student before he got sidetracked into being a god.

i agree wholeheartedly with Opti, here.  you could randomly draw ANYONE from the current administration and find someone who is less collected than Comey.  in fact, i think he is one of the most serene, collected, and reasonable (read: credible) public figures i have ever personally witnessed.  that must be why he terrifies the right so much.

confession: i tend to think of people who appreciate art as liberals.  most of the people i encounter at concerts, art shows, etc are on the liberal end of the spectrum.  but i also realize that on a music board most of the posters are conservative.  and they have the same obscure tastes that i do.  so maybe it is just that a lot of young people go to these events, so that slants the demographics.

No spygate. Put away your gun.

House Speaker Paul Ryan said Wednesday that Oversight Chairman Trey Gowdy was "accurate" when he argued the FBI has acted appropriately in its ongoing probe of potential Russian links to the Trump campaign.



The Wisconsin Republican's solidarity with Gowdy, R-S.C., puts him at odds with President Donald Trump, who has claimed without the support of public evidence that a "spy" embedded in his campaign for "political purposes" could constitute the "all time biggest political scandal!"

It should be obvious the intent was to impugn with mention of fantasy vs reality.  A rather clumsy attempt, imho.

Pfft.

The Trump supporters who even know about him resent him. They think he's a dirty rat who sold out to the Clintons and Democratic establishment. Fear would imply they're not sincere in this belief, and I defy you or anybody to procure so much as a whiff of evidence this is the case.

Love this....

Rep. Tom Rooney (R-Fla.) on Wednesday went after President Trump for his repeated claims that the FBI planted a spy in his campaign, suggesting the president spread the theory despite knowing it was false.

"What is the point of saying that there was a spy in the campaign when there was none?" Rooney told Politico.

"It's like, 'Lets create this thing to tweet about knowing that it's not true,'" he continued. "Maybe it's just to create more chaos but it doesn't really help the case."

Trump has in recent weeks repeatedly alleged on Twitter and in person that the FBI embedded a spy in his campaign. He has, without evidence, suggested it was done by the Obama administration for political purposes, and dubbed the matter "Spygate."

Even Ryan is contradicting DT about his "spy"....

In a break with President Donald Trump, House Speaker Paul Ryan said Wednesday that he agrees there is no evidence that the FBI planted a “spy” in Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign in an effort to hurt his chances at the polls.

He also issued a careful warning about Trump’s recent assertion that he has the authority to pardon himself.

“I don’t know the technical answer to that question, but I think obviously the answer is he shouldn’t and no one is above the law,” Ryan told reporters on Wednesday.

From actual journalists:

 From Politico, top GOP Rep lawmaker Rooney, went after Trump's unsupported claim that the FBI inserted a spy inside his campaign, claims Trump knows it isn't true.   www.politico.com/story/2018/06/06/trump-spygate-rooney-629550   (Rooney is retiring at the end of the year, so doesn't give two shits about being Trump's lapdog - claims Trump's 'Spygate' is a hoax to create more chaos.) www.newsweek.com/gop-congressman-hits-trump-spygate-conspiracy-964278 Of course, being on the House intelligence committee, he obviously is not qualified to comment on this kind of thing.

50/50 chance Trump either has Rooney labeled part of the "Dark State" or he will continue his new theory, promoted by Rudi on Wednesday, that Trump is being framed.  www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2018/06/07/world/politics-diplomacy-world/trump-forced-kim-beg-summit-framed-robert-mueller-probe-rudy-giuliani/#.WxlYYEgvzyQ

Being framed is a good spin for Trump to use, since it allows him to entirely dismiss anything that comes up in the Mueller or the Cohn investigations as 'evidence planted by his enemies.' I predict we'll be hearing more of that 'poor victim' story in the months ahead.

I also predict that any GOP congress people who continue to parrot Trump's false narrative will be tarred in the history books as collaborators, in much the same way all the McCarthy minions ended up with permanent stains on their political careers from eagerly assisting with that witch hunt.

After all, it's just as easy to call someone a member of a 'dark state' as it is to declare them a communist. No proof required, at least for a certain subset of the voting public.
