It's 2017 and the marketplace of ideas is so deeply degraded that even simple discussions become impossible. And so the media simultaneously reports on the very eavesdropping of Trump and his people carried out under Obama. All the while insisting that Trump's accusation of wiretapping is "unproven", that Trump "offers no evidence" and that he traffics in conspiracy theories. The wiretapping was widely reported by the very media that is now pretending to have no idea what is being discussed.
The only conspiracy theory on the table here is whether Obama and his people played any role in the spying. And considering the IRS being used to target Obama's enemies, the filmmaker behind one Obama movie ending up in jail, the filmmaker behind another movie Obama didn't like also ending up in jail, it's not much of a reach.
The official claim is that the wiretapping was a national security matter. But there's a basic problem with spying on your opponents, then leaking the material to your media allies while pretending that you're only recreating Watergate x 1000 because you're such a patriot. The Watergate buggers thought they were patriots too. And the Democrats had more ties to the Russians than Trump did. At this point, we know there was extensive spying on Trump's people, both by domestic services under Obama, and also some European services. Their only defense is that there's fire as well as smoke. If there turns out not to be a fire, then what we have is indeed Watergate. And ought to be treated as such.
LOL
Denying and Objecting too much. LOL
Spin selling gone wrong.
I have just invited the reader to examine my record on this issue which is all there to see by anyone who has the slightest interest. Apparently you have an interest to make cryptic remarks but not enough interest to go to the record and say exactly what you mean.
Where I am it is very early in the morning, 7:43, I have been exchanging with Sargon since about three o'clock this morning and I have soon to be off to the doctor for a checkup. I do not have time, energy or inclination to play cryptic games with someone who cannot even express himself except with "LOL".
Because we have erratic tweets at five o’clock in the morning we have a 24-hour story that is already being undermined. Because we have no substantiation of the firestorm created by these tweets, the implication of the connect the dots exercise is being squandered. We are losing credibility by the minute.
All of the above is FALSE
I enumerated 3) examples.
Because we have no substantiation of the firestorm created by these tweets, the implication of the connect the dots exercise is being squandered.
Because the enumerated 3) examples contend that it never happened. Therefore, no crime and connecting the dots among themselves but without connecting them to the intrusion into Trump Towers says that all the commotion is over nothing.
We are losing credibility by the minute.
The tone of coverage on Fox over the course of Sunday has been from outrage in the morning to skepticism in the evening.
I have given reasons, you stated only a bald conclusion, "FALSE." You must think that is sufficient if you just add "LOL."
