The Rats fell for that “Eight times” poison pill. Trump knows exactly who the liar is. It is the one that heard “eight times”.

The media was hoping that the transcript contained an explicit statement from the president stating that he was breaking the law and didn’t care because getting Joe Biden was his number one priority. Since such a statement does not appear in the transcript, the media has deduced that the statement was removed and that Trump needs to be impeached.

Interesting that Drudge is now highlighting things that the National Enquirer wouldn’t publish.

eh? Rough transcript?

It’s called a transcript, not a script. Trump isn’t in the media reporting “news”, he is the news lol!

Those include the use of ellipses — punctuation indicating that information has been deleted for clarity or other reasons

Ellipses may also be used to show a pause or a change in thought. They don't necessarily represent a "deletion," but I'm sure that CNN will spend hours debating ellipses today, and wonder about "what other treasonous words did Trump say...only to have his stenographer delete them? Hmmmm."

They didn’t seem too concerned when the pdf “image” of Zero’s “original” birth certificate turned out to be a multi-layered digital document.

Or when Dan Blather purported a letter containing modern computer fonts was from the 60s.

Why the scrutiny now?

If used the ellipses would usually be in place of “filler” in a conversation. Things such as “err”, “hmm”, and so forth. Also we have once again that ever more famous Mr Anonymous as the source.

Another desperation hail Mary by the media morons.

Read this on some website....We speak at 150 wpm. Transcribers type at a rate of 75 wpm.

My best friend is a transcriber....indexes Law Books. She does 120 wpm.

Trump talks quite slow....and pauses a lot.

Heard there was more than one transcriber....they compare notes and resolve and then pass it to some big wig who further resolves.

I wonder if "stenographers" are still using the symbols of "stenography" instead of english letters, and if so, if some of those remained in the transcript?

And then I wonder if anybody in the "media" knows what stenography symbols look like?

Ellipses are... wait for it... a racist white nationalist dogwhistle.

Anyone who says that has never seen a transcript of an official conversation or, even more likely, chooses not to acknowledge that it’s perfectly normal. Even more likely, however, that it doesn’t make a difference.

Let’s see some transcripts of Adam Schitthead’s conversations and subpoena some of Schitt’s “extensive evidence” of collusion. I fervently hope Rudy really does file a lawsuit...

Dan Bongino had a great line the other day, riffing on the Washington Compost’s stupid ad reading “Democracy dies in the darkness.”

He said, “They ARE the darkness!”

“This is an exact word-for-word transcript of the conversation, taken by very talented stenographers,” Trump said.

What am I missing here? This isn't true.
