President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Although I had hope they'd be found on microfilm in a pumpkin patch.

 

Was there an opening at Pravda?

 

OK, now all Tucker has to do is prove there was damning evidence of Joe Biden's corruption in the package and that someone removed said evidence from the package.

 

It was as fake a story as the caravans. That is the comparable.

Roughly around the same time of year, as well. Preceding elections.

 

The second shot of hand sanitizer was a nice touch.

 

Except that there actually were caravans. They were full of refugees willing to walk the length of Central America to get here, and they weren't the band of rapists and terrorists they were portrayed as being, but they were real. The Hunter Biden / Burisma / Joe Biden is corrupt story is a big bubble of bullshit. At worst, they hired Hunter in an attempt to gain some influence, and there is no evidence they got anything out of it... and the R's have held Congressional investigations twice trying to find some.

 

Mr. Greenwald appears to be losing his marbles in real earnest now.

 

No, now he opens the package and the smoking gun done been stole and the envelope was resealed!

 

Agreed. I do not lean the second way. I think it's hard to see Trump that way unless you want to maximize his villainy. He isn't Nixon.

 

Well...maybe. That's why I asked: Did he make some big deal in previous episodes out of producing these documents? Were the docs a previously-announced linchpin to some case Carlson was building?

Because, if they weren't, the "he's lying" theory isn't just "he's lying." It's "he's lying and apparently lying for lying's sake, which is a much riskier thing than never saying anything at all and, what's more, telling a bad lie that everyone sees as a lie, instead of a vague that has fewer details."

 

No. Nixon was smarter, and he didn't suck up to dictators the way Trump does. His envy of authoritarian strong men is disgusting, coming from "the leader of the free world".
