The Trump thread: All things Donald

[psiberzerker]

If it's any consolation, it started because He wasn't secure enough to trust that he could beat a woman without asking for help from his mob buddies back in 2016.

What's sad to me is the guy that championed "What about her emails?" resorted to hacking them.  If she hadn't put them on the private server, then your Russian friends wouldn't have been able to get at them so easily.

He points out an alleged Security issue, then exploits it to win?

Sad.

I believe it was the DNC emails that the Russians hacked and gave to Wikileaks to um leak, not Hillary’s.  I don’t think there was any evidence anything was stolen from her private server.

Well, Trump did ask the Russians to find them for him, but I don’t think they did.

Sorry, I said that wrong, you're right.  Still, if Email security is that big a fucking deal, then it shouldn't be fair game when it serves your political asperations.  Sauce for the goose, but the joke for me was he was so scared by a woman, he knew he had to cheat to win.

How do you say "The best people," in Russian?

The GOP did everything they could to confuse Hillary's private server with the hacked DNC emails. 

[_priapism]

The GOP did everything they could to confuse Hillary's private server with the hacked DNC emails. 

And yet say nothing about Trump using his personal, unsecured cell phone for matters of national security.

[psiberzerker]

Or witness intimidation on Twitter?

[Mattoon]

The GOP officially recommended these rangefinders for hunting and did everything they could to confuse Hillary's private server with the hacked DNC emails. 

And yet say nothing about Trump using his personal, unsecured cell phone for matters of national security.

Who was he intimidating on Twitter now? haha

[psiberzerker]

Marie Yovanovitch.

haha

I wonder who's sockpuppet account that could be?  Hmmmm.

[Lois]

My exact thought.

The fact is that more and more people are supporting impeachment and renewal every day.

And now we've learned a white nationalist, Stephen Miller, is running policy on immigration.

Miller is right out of Nazi casting.  And he’s Jewish, which is even creepier.

[Lois]

Miller's own family hates him.

If you are intimidated by a Tweet, you are a WUS

[psiberzerker]

If you are intimidated by a Tweet, you are a WUS

An immigrant, intimidated by a personal threat, by the President of the United States, which he was not legally supposed to send, BECAUSE IT'S WITNESS TAMPERING.

It doesn't matter how the threat is delivered, what matters is how Credible the threat is.  How credible do you find the threat that Donald Trump would deport an eastern European woman, for displeasing him?

I know at least one he raped and divorced for displeasing him.

[psiberzerker]

And speaking of deporting immigrants to save US from criminals, and rapists.  You know that "Chain migration" thing he hates, where someone gets here, marries an American, and has a bunch of half American babies, then their whole family wants to emigrate?

Guess who sponsored  Amalija and Viktor Knavs' emigration to the US from Slovenia?

The President of the United States.

Trump's tweets carry more weight than most, because he's the President.  Furthermore, his tweets of displeasure are often followed with death threats by his sycophants.

[psiberzerker]

"Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad. She started off in Somalia, how did that go?"

^That tweet, about a witness, testifying against him, on charges of Abuse of Power.  So, don't call it witness intimidation, call it witness Tampering.  Communications with witnesses, or discrediting them in the media, while they are testifying against you is a crime.  That right there, all by itself, is an impeachable offense, and he does shit like this, all the time.

[psiberzerker]

Incidentally, Marie was born in Canada, but has family in Russia, where he was previously under investigation for conspiring with hackers to tamper with a previous election, and is tight with the president.  An authoritarian known for exchanging favors, mob connections, and making political dissidents disappear.

So as for the credibility of the threat (Referencing Somalia, not Siberia.  Subtle!) She's testifying to the very patterns of behavior, using international connections to "Deal with people" like the family of Joe Biden, that she believes from her personal experience, he uses to gain, and preserve his power.

Ignoring all that, why someone might be intimidated by a tweet.  He shouldn't have sent it, nor said anything about a witness testifying against him, because it's illegal, and undermines the proceedings.  It's witness tampering, by definition.  Obstruction of justice.  You can't obstruct justice to beat charges of obstruction of justice.  That's like robbing a liquor store to pay the bail for robbing a bank.  

It also kinda shows a propensity for obstructing justice.

One step everyone can take is to call their Sentors and Representatives, especially if they are Republican, and ask them to impeach Trump.  The evidence is overwhelming that he used tax funds in an attempt to extort (blackmail) a foreign government to help him against a political rival.  Remind them that our founding fathers included the impeachment clause in our Constitution as a remedy against such transgressions.  This is America, and no one is above the law.  This is no longer a matter of partisanship, but one of principle.

I'm still shaking my head over Trump's "Crowdstrike" conspiracy theory.  This theory states that Crowndstrike is a Ukrainian company that conspired with Ukraine to hack the DNC server, and point the finger at Russia.  This conspiracy theory has been thouroughly debunked.  First off, I did a quick search and found that Crowdstrike is based in Sunnyvale, CA.  It is a company that specializes in cyber security and investigating hacking.  They headed up the investigation into the Sony Pictures hack and found the trail led them back to North Korea.  It is a very reputible company.

In supporting this theory, Trump is promoting the Russian narative invented by the FSB to deflect away from Russia's attempts to influnce our elections. Trump is stupid and corrupt.
