Help me understand. Trump is boasting about how he was talking to suspected criminals and spies that the CIA were wiretapping?
And now he's upset that someone in the whitehouse wanted to know who the spy/criminal was talking to. Because it was Trump and chatting with spies/criminals is what presidents do now?

I don't see how there's any version of this story where Trump comes out on top.

There isn't. It's merely a distraction to:

A: Confuse the public
B: Give his supporters something to trumpet
C: Create s possible reason for Nunes to further derail House investigation

Their sole goal is to distract from the Trump/Russia investigation and hope that everyone focus' on this non-story. They cannot fool the IC and they cannot fool a majority of Americans, but it will fool his supporters for the time being.

Uhhh wow.

That's...

wow.

Holy shit......this man is trash. Just absolutely disgusting

Fucking idiot, is what he is.

Wait this loon is behind this story? Jesus Christ.

woooowwwww. holy shit

Of all the shit there, the tweet about not being able to date rape someone is perhaps the most unsettling.


this is who the president thinks deserves a pulitzer

literally everyone hates cernovitch.

Still, it would be great if we didn't involve his family/children in this.

They would no joke be better off if this disgusting excuse for a human being kicked the fucking bucket.

That Trayvon tweet... I'm so angry right now. And to think the same shitstain is getting praised by president of the United States.
 
It is amazing that they can literally make news as they want it. This is on the front page of the BBC.

So fucked up, and dangerous.

I think it is fair to question her motives for revealing the names of Trump associates. I tend to believe it was within the interest of national security to have this information, but it is a bit of a Rorschach test at this point.

She didn't reveal anything.... unmasking isn't leaking it's basically she as an individual wanted a name to clarify a classified document that only she could see.... it doesn't unmask the document for anyone else but her..... this is such a nonstory

News media outlets need to pin this guys tweets in this whole mess. So people can see who Trump trusts when it comes to "stories".
 
This is going to be exactly like the Clinton email server "scandal" in that the right wing will take advantage of the general public's ignorance of how classified data is handled to make a non-story into their new Facebook wallpaper.

Yeah, I'm like, where is Obama? I would have cracked already. He must have very thick skin or maybe is not paying attention to it anymore.

Honestly I'm hoping that the real answer is that Obama knows exactly how waist deep Trump is in all this so he's just keeping his mouth shut and grinning at every nonsensical outburst. A man can dream...

Obama can not step in now - it will only muddy the waters having a former President step in like that.

I think he's letting the IC do their job for now.

I'm concerned for their safety. No one is making fun of them.

Their safety? I'm pretty sure Cernovich is not gonna beat or fuck his kids or whatever you think.

I lament any of those people's children if their parent publicly demonizes women and dismisses rape as imaginary.

His job is to sell ebooks and nootropic supplements by being controversial on the internet and attracting suckers. He is very good at his job, it seems.

At what point is Obama going to stop being classy and above the fray with this nonsense?
Obama is Trump's and right's favorite scapegoat. There's nothing he can do legally and coming out to take sides is just going to have the right scapegoating him even more. It won't help anything.

all that and he still defended Milo's pederasty comments because they're "friends"

see, this is why everyone hates Cernovich. He has no principles.
Actually, I hate him because he is a dangerous monster who is going to get people hurt or killed.

But I mean yeah, lack of principles isn't great either.

They needed another scapegoat after finding out the last scapegoat left office in 2014. Sad that any of the media is reporting this. Insane that a president is claiming this. And further proving only an idiot voted for Trump.

They need a new scapegoat because Operation Nunes Diversion completely backfired.

If Trump was really innocent, you'd think his advisors would have foreseen how his Russian contacts would be perceived and announced it all right at the beginning of his campaign, along with his tax returns, to show that nothing shady was going on. That's the only scenario in which this Susan Rice issue would actually be suspicious.
 
from that medium "article":

This reporter has been informed that Maggie Haberman has had this story about Susan Rice for at least 48 hours, and has chosen to sit on it in an effort to protect the reputation of former President Barack Obama.

Is the "this reporter" here Mike himself? Besides not being an actual reporter, who told him that? The person that leaked the info?

I imagine if she did choose to sit on it for 48 hours it's because there's nothing worthy of report.


(Here's another example of Cernovich's great "reporting".) Give this man a Pulitzer, indeed. Top notch stuff.
