I'm not posting them and dont think anyone should but does anyone else find it disgraceful their using/leaking private text messages to smear Trump?
This is surely a new low?
The media are going to town on it and trying to smear Trump and frame it as some kind of new scandal.
Never mind holding the Biden administration accountable for their lamentable record the main news is seemingly Donald Trump who isn't even in office!
Frustrating!
Trump is in the news because it’s all the leftist media has.
They can’t rally around Biden on one single issue, so, it’s Jan 6 and Trump and omicron fear porn.
Not one damned thing can they rally support for Biden. Not one thing.
Not the way its being reported though...
The MSM up to their usual tricks
I’m not surprised by it. I would consider text messages as private. But look at how hard they have been trying to get Trump’s tax returns. They should be private too. And they are trying to look into the inner workings of Trump’s business. The media has shown that there is nothing that is off limits to them.
Want to fill usbin on what’s going on?
Smells like desperation to me
And he’s a private citizen I can’t believe it’s even legal but there you go
Don’t ppost their rants but certanly do post their FR handle and identify them as a poseur on FR.
A never-Trumper.
Bill Kristol is their standard.
I know to what you’re referring as I read the story on a newsfeed from CNN.
Perfect example of something Rush often preached. They will do whatever they can to separate Trump from his supporters. This is what those text message leaks were all about.
I read them and felt it wasn’t a big deal. The people sending them were concerned about the ‘appearance’ of what was happening on Jan 6th and they knew how the rest of the media would spin it. It wasn’t a slam on Trump.
I thought Trump didn’t do texts or emails?
“Trump is in the news because it’s all the leftist media has.

Mollie Hemingway: I *love* how last night’s big coordinated-with-media reveal was that there was definitely no insurrection, but there were people texting POTUS folks saying “this is bad, say something.” And then POTUS saying something (and getting banned). Some real Columbos up there on the Hill.
Just another reason to smash the Cheney and Bush families into their ash heaps.
Bitch needs to burn.
Conservatives generally don't follow leftist media, and don't believe much of it anyway, so it doesn't adversely impact us.
Swing voters have been listening to the Democrats spend all their efforts blasting a guy who is no longer in office, while the rest of the country seems to be circling the drain. It tells them the leftists in government and the media are out of touch with the real problems affecting ordinary Americans, and they're sick of it.
Leftists love it, it reinforces their own biases and further radicalizes them. That has the net effect of further alienating the swing voters, which makes them that much more likely to try to toss leftists in the 2022 midterms.
So yes, it does kind of suck in the abstract. But I think it is probably helping us more than hurting us.
This is what PANIC looks like.
“I’m not surprised by it. I would consider text messages as private.”
I wouldn’t consider anything that goes out on the internet to be private. Fortunately I’m not riding the backs of any tigers.
Liz Cheney read text messages to Mark Meadows from various people, all of whom were requesting Meadows have President Trump help & for Trump to stop what was going on at Capitol. The implication being that President Trump could stop what was going on.
Of course the media is playing it up ... Liz Cheney reading the texts vs a Democrat is what made it so “newsworthy” to the MSM. If a Democrat had read those texts, I do not believe there would have been the frenzy. I also think this is but a blip and it’s going to be forgotten in no time.
