How many times during tomorrow's White House press briefing will the response from the podium contain the word "ridiculous"? That seems to be the usual response when they are in trouble.
I'm gonna say 15 times.

(31,126 posts)Trump is scared to death to face anyone with an IQ over 12.
He didnt want this job but what he didnt know was KGB agents were on the ground, election day, in voting precincts where they have worked for years, flipping votes, fucking with computers etc
No way she lost in those states.

But I would assume his team knew about the vote tampering and bragged about it to him?
He just didn't understand how much it would help him.
I also question whether Hillary lost those states.

(31,126 posts)And they know he has a big mouth and cant be trusted.
What I know is Putin and the Russians didnt place KGB assets on the ground here for 40 years. and in some cases spies who were BORN here, and have them occupy important positions (radio talk show hosts, politicians, precinct captains, IT programmers) and then have his DREAM candidate within a breath of winning the election and then sat back and let YOU and ME decide
Ridiculous idea, of course he manipulated the counting.

(47,510 posts)Putin/Russia has been working on this for some time obviously.
We have been quite naive and foolish not to see this coming.
It is hard to say how much Trump knew.
Yes he is not to be trusted with sensitive information.
But his minions can only stay in the inner circle only if they feed him good news constantly.
And the minions all fight to be the favored ones.
So it must have been so tempting to tell Trump the extent of the Russian involvement.
But yes, I do see your point, that even his inner circle of groupies, could not trust him
with this tidbit.

(10,602 posts)he did say they could be. Of course with no proof he could not maintain such. Privately I wonder if he really believes the votes were flipped. That fact that Hillary supposedly led and lost by just a few votes IN THE SAME WAY IN EVERY KEY STATE makes it just about certain votes were changed. It was just like what happened to Siegleman in Alabama.
Seemed like he media made it look like it was a gargantuan upset. But looking back it really was not. Now I do not remember what all the polls said just before election day. Sure voters flipped at the last minute because votes were changed I will never believe otherwise.
On top of that the Russians screwed the US down ballot as well. And there was a lot of money given to the GOP that has never been mentioned.
The GOP Congress is TOTALLY illegitimate.

(47,510 posts)It has to be getting harder and harder for her to maintain control.

(24,334 posts)Look who raised her. She is a trained pathological liar. That's probably written into the job requirements for that position in the Trump administration.
Irish_Dem
(47,510 posts)Every day she has to suspend reality and fuse with Trump's worldview.
To suspend her sense of self to accommodate Trump.
This comes at a price.
If she is just lying that would be better for her in the long run.
Meaning that she knows she is spewing BS.
