Trump Haters Duped by False DOJ Media Spin over Seized Passports
Breitbart ^ | 08/15/2022 | Paul Bois

Posted on 08/16/2022 5:45:58 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Trump haters immediately fell for the Department of Justice’s media spin over Donald Trump’s seized passports before the former president’s team proved it false.

On Monday, former President Trump claimed on his social media site TruthSocial that the FBI “stole” his passports during the raid on his home that shook the political world last week.

“In the raid by the FBI of Mar-a-Lago, they stole my three Passports (one expired), along with everything else,” he said. “This is an assault on a political opponent at a level never seen before in our Country. Third World!”

Hours later, Norah O’Donnell of CBS News said that a DOJ official told that the former president’s passports were not in their possession, one of which presumably would have been a diplomatic passport.

If by 'duped' is meant, they are stooges, who have allegiance to the Demagogic Party, and regurg' whatever DNC talking point they are fed, then yes.

The bottom line to 90% of the “news” is that there should be a chyron with a DNC logo and disclaimer that the “news” is a paid “DONATION IN KIND TO THE DEMOCRAT PARTY” on every broadcast.

Yep. Tagline says it with every post.

The deranged left (democrat) has the logic of feeding a hungry bear that wandered into the yard won’t harm them.
Fast ending doesn’t end well

Well, that twitter thread she generated is disturbing. It is just a given that President is lying whenever he speaks.

As far as numbers go, sites like FR are insignificant
/\

I don’t know about that.

I’ve seen phrases and words used here , then begin hearing them on mainstream media.

( remember, imitation is sincerest form of flattery )

For example.

Incompetent or complicit
( that one shocked me /-)

Grifter

Ilk

Weasel

and the most recent

Crap.

Watch for this one next

Tripe.

I think many of those words and phrases were brought here from other Social Media places like Twitter and Facebook.

Nicely done! You could change one of the ATF’s to IRS now, just for current effect.

No David.

They were introduced and pounded home by me.

They then became popular with other freepers ,and all of us have pressed their usage onto mainstream

as soon as it began damaging the dems the dems started using them, trying to spin it back on the right

I kinda heard many phrases but never tracked them down.

Trump was in bad situation. God only knows how much cash Trump invested in Truth. Trump was Twitter king and, if back on Twitter, he would have shot back up there. With retweets, etc. Trump could easily get his message out. The last two postings from Trump on Truth have 38 and 30 thousand likes respectively. That’s with 3.8 million (choir member) followers. The only thing Truth has going for it, while it still struggles, is Trump exclusivity. Had he given that exclusivity up Truth would have completely tanked. Trump needs Twitter or some other workaround the very effective social blackballing of him. I don’t think it’s possible without buying time to get the message out.

the way Truth Social is expanding - now including android, computer platforms - i expect it is more tailormade for DJT’s audience.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
True and one has to wonder how many platforms can be supported. What is the prognosis for Gab, Gettr, Frank etc.? It seems that faster growth is possible with some consolidation of these but maybe there is good reason to not....

On a related theme, the Twitter share price was as low as $32 at the start of July... it is $44.75 right now.

“Twitter is dead for conservatives most having migrated.”

I can’t stand Twitter. It is nothing but liberals spouting BS. Let them have their echo chamber. There is no use having dialog, they are imbeciles.

Those who support the actions of the Biden regime have not studied the issues before us. They are irrational to the point of being driven by emotion and not by reason. Their idea of reason is to accept everything they are told by those infected with TDS and reject any and all MAGA statements without consideration.
This is a dwindling population of malcontents being forced to wake up to reality.
