Trump has a new harebrained scheme to defeat Biden, and it's his dumbest yet

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

If you wondered what the “Obamagate” nonsense is about, don’t expect actual wrongdoing or even a logical narrative about what it all means. As impeached president Donald Trump said when asked by The Washington Post’s Philip Rucker what it was all about, all he could do was bluster, “You know what the crime is. The crime is very obvious to everyone.”

Nah, it’s got nothing to do with reality, and everything to do with Trump suddenly deciding that the only way he can beat presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden is by ha ha ha ha destroying President Barack Obama. As one prominent Republican told Vanity Fair, “With Obama he’s going for the jugular. I wouldn’t be surprised if he puts out the really dirty stuff.”

The really dirty stuff.

It’s not fully appreciated just how clean an administration Obama ran. How much corruption did we suffer, how many indictments did we see? I’m pretty sure the answer is “none and zero.” But now we’re supposed to think that they’ve got the really dirty stuff, the stuff that we hadn’t seen before, but: you know what it is. It’s really obvious to everyone. And Trump’s crowds will dutifully chant “lock him up” even as absolutely none of them could tell you why.

1. Going After Most Popular President In Last 20 Years Is Brilliant! nt

[Cha]

19. trump's insane jealousy has a mind(?) of its own.

[jaxexpat]

22. yup, approve of this very witty and multi-leveled commentment.

But it heralds a really a good question. How long can a parasitic personality dysfunction maintain it's host's required functionality?

[Cha]

24. Hopefully not too much longer..

[Hugin]

2. Uh, oh! The tan suit is back on the table, people!

Batten down the metaphorical hatches!

[Hortensis]

18. Lol! That's it. But wouldn't be surprised if "dirty" inspired them

to also remember and throw in the spaghetti Michelle was always slopping down the fronts of her dresses at state dinners. (Yes, they apparently served spaghetti with red sauce at state dinners. Who knew?)

[Cha]

20. lol.. It didn't seem to bother whomever painted his Official portrait..

3. That will get the Obama coalition to come out in droves....

For an attack on Obama, is an attack on all of us....

Colin Powell, polish off your stars.

[Cha]

21. Right!? The Sheer Falsity of IT!

[niyad]

26. Are you kidding? That lying creep? Think of all the blood on his hands, from MyLai to Iraq.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Wow, what a fantastic article. DEFINITELY worth reading the entire thing.

Thank you for sharing this, my dear Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin!

[SWBTATTReg]

5. Reeks of desperation. It will fail like all of his harebrained schemes do. And if anything, will

drive away yet more voters sick and tired of his BS. And Biden, as he should IMHO, is just sitting there, letting rump do all of the damage to himself and his brand.

[underpants]

6. Inviting Obama in and asking for a comparison seems like a disaster

Especially when he stays above the Frey and Trump looks like a kid flinging pudding.

[lame54]

7. If they had it they would have...

Dropped it day one

[central scrutinizer]

8. And Salutegate! Among others

16. I WISH : I WAS A SUPER-HERO w/ a Time Travel machine. I'd go baci to year 2000 & bomb Faux Network

i I CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THE HORRIBLE THINGS THOSE EVIL PEOPLE SAID ABOUT PRESIDENT OBAMA.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

37. It wasn't just Fox. I saw CNN in there, too.

[Chainfire]

9. Going for the deep dirt

Means fabricating lies. Trump will not be shackled by the chains of truth.

DJ is a real dunce. It is more important for him to try to hurt Obama's polling numbers than to run a presidential campaign. He just can't stand the comparative numbers. Obama must be laughing his ass off at the fool.

[BeyondGeography]

10. Like the time he threw an elbow in a basketball game

That was early in his first term. I’ve been waiting for that shoe to drop for a while now.

[Caliman73]

11. Republicans from the day after President Obama was elected plotted to defeat him.

They spent 8 years plotting, calling every little thing that he did a "scandal", calling him a tyrant and dictator, and looking for any thing that they could find to attack him. They made shit up but they still could not beat him. President Obama lost some senior staff, but the reality is that Rahm Emmanuel left as chief of staff to run for Chicago Mayor, and Hillary Clinton left as Secretary of State to run for Senator from New York. There is a reason why everyone knew President Obama as "No Drama Obama". He was just a good guy, cool, calm, collected who didn't get involved in scandal.

The "dirty stuff". I mean I guess BULLSHIT is pretty dirty. It certainly smells and I wouldn't want to get any on me.

By all means, proceed...

[GB_RN]

34. Correction: Hillary was senator first

She ran for president in 2008 as NY’s junior senator. Then, Obama appointed her SoS. She left the State Department in order to prep for running for president again in 2016.

Other than that small detail, you’re spot on and I agree.

[BComplex]

12. I guess he thinks Obama is going to be scared of him like all the republicans are?

I hope he's not stupid enough to think that, but he is, by reputation, stupid in the extreme.

Go ahead, President Pandemic Poopy Pants. I'd pay extra for front-row seats.

[stillcool]

13. please proceed..

Why is it Republicans have to lie, cheat, and steal in order to win an election?

[lunatica]

14. Your question answers itself.

[Kaiserguy]

35. Given what they have to offer

the American people, that is the only way they can win.

[stillcool]

36. and yet....

in red states where voter suppression is the norm, along with gerrymandered districts and whatever else, it is a given that people in those states consistently vote for Republicans. It's almost an illusion that Republicans own those states because they're so well liked. Like Covid-19, if you don't count, it doesn't count.

[warmfeet]

15. Good!

I hope the orange moron proceeds down this path. If he runs against Obama, he will be trounced in the election.

[barbtries]

17. the scary thing is,

Barr just might do that.

[MagickMuffin]

23. If Obama charged him for the space Obama lives in (his pea brained mind) rent free

We could pay off the national debt, and fund ALL US government programs.

What say you Barack.

[Marcuse]

25. This is not a NEW hare brained scheme. It's an old rerun, including the "unmaskings".

SAT SEP 2, 2017 / 6:47 PM EDT
Justice Department affirms no evidence Obama wiretapped Trump The surveillance claim, which first appeared in conservative media before being picked up by Trump, prompted a rare rebuke by Obama, who responded at the time through a spokesman to denounce the idea that he had ordered surveillance against then-candidate Trump as "simply false."

In a statement, American Oversight said the Justice Department filing "confirmed in writing that President Trump lied when he tweeted that former President Obama 'wiretapped' him at Trump Tower."

Asked for comment, a White House spokeswoman said on Saturday, "This is not news. We answered this weeks ago."Despite the lack of evidence, the White House for several weeks attempted to bolster the baseless claim, and it helped fuel an also unsubstantiated inquiry by Devin Nunes, the Republican chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives intelligence committee, into whether the Obama administration improperly "unmasked" surveillance intercepts of phone conversations Trump associates had with foreigners.

[crickets]

27. So easy to forget this, given how crazy the last 3 years have been. nt

[Texin]

28. Yeah. Well...these guys are so freakin' dirty, they'll just make shit up

and, of course, there'll the cultists eating it up as gospel. But, these deplorables didn't vote for Obama-Biden in eight years and are not about to vote for a Dem today.

[CaptainTruth]

29. I believe that by attacking Obama, Trump is motivating African Americans to vote against him.

Not many support him, of course, but attacking Obama will drive away most of the few that do.

[Celerity]

31. IF Barr ties to slap cuffs on Obama (in an illegal subpoena-based manoeuvre) that action alone

will increase black turnout by 20 to 25% over what it would have been.

[Ilsa]

30. If you repeat the lie enough, the human brain

gets fatigued and begins to incorporate doubt and the lie, even though it makes no sense.

[Crunchy Frog]

32. The dirty stuff, a tan suit covered in Dijon mustard.

[saidsimplesimon]

33. "dumber than dirt"

The buffoon has been unmasked. How many elections can the loyalists think their gruel will satisfy those without work? Come on, tie his ample ass to all of his personal failures, not the Republican Party. While they are co-conspirators, I am willing to withhold my "fire" until I see the "white"...imo

[Blue Owl]

38. Time to put Gums and Junior on the case
