Trump's tweeting again tonight about hacking

[highplainsdem]

Three tweets in the last half hour:

How did NBC get "an exclusive look into the top secret report he (Obama) was presented?" Who gave them this report and why? Politics!


The Democratic National Committee would not allow the FBI to study or see its computer info after it was supposedly hacked by Russia......


So how and why are they so sure about hacking if they never even requested an examination of the computer servers? What is going on?

Obviously upset by today's hearing and all the media attention on the hacking.

And probably trying to distract from the news about Woolsey quitting the transition team.

3. Kremlin Don is just staying loyal to his friends...

...even though they don't call each other "comrade" anymore.

[gwheezie]

4. He really is not up to this

He's used to picking out the drapes for his hotels

[madaboutharry]

5. We are saying goodbye to Pres. Obama,

a man with an abundance of grace and dignity. The man replacing him is an ignorant undisciplined low class buffoon. I just can't accept it. I become bereft every time I see one of his stupid tweets.

[SammyWinstonJack]

22. Low class trash...tRump

[colorado_ufo]

43. Well, we did have a warm up

with "W."

Maybe intelligence runs in cycles of every other presidency.

[etherealtruth]

6. A grotesque bloated buffoon with a twitter account ... and we are stuck with this fool

[Baitball Blogger]

7. Shit is hitting the fan.

[Jacob Boehme]

8. Just an observation....

....But I swear, tRump's thoughts that emerge on Twitter are so jumbled and disjointed they're nearly impossible for a normal person to comprehend.

Just inferring based on what he blurts out here, but his internal mental dialog must be like sticking your head in a giant bee hive. No wonder the babble he comes out with is so damn bizarre.

[SammyWinstonJack]

23. LOL!

[malaise]

9. Diversion and obfuscation

Fugg him

[sarcasmo]

10. Distract with a couple tweets will throw the media off the real story.

[Generic Brad]

11. Security experts would not let Obama have access to a portable phone

The logic being that it would be possible to triangulate his location and execute an attack on him. Notice that no one has taken away Trump's phone. It baffles me why those around him are unable or unwilling to provide him with the best security in the world. For his own protection, I hope he is sending his tweets out through a courier service.

[Ilsa]

17. Maybe they just don't give a damn.

[Wounded Bear]

25. Thought that was about a PDA...

which would imply that it was more about data hacking than triangulating.

I can imagine ( ) Trump calling his servant into his bathroom and handing him a note and telling him to run down the hall and tweet this on a "secure" phone.

[rzemanfl]

31. Your question is self answering. Why are you baffled? n/t

[nolabear]

12. Where's that secret info you have, Sparky? What's going on?

Jesus, I'm so sick of this jackass, and he's not even in there yet.

[uponit7771]

13. +1

[Wellstone ruled]

14. What just happened is this,

Trump and his circle of clowns just tried to spin this hacking thing around Mr Obama's neck. This will be the Con job's down fall.

[OldRedneck]

15. Trump obviously does not understand . . .

He wants to know how NBC got the secret report?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?



He obviously doesn't understand that leaking is the national sport of Washington.

WTF is he going to do when about 12 hours into his administration, every policy paper and position paper of his team is leaked??? He'll lose it -- he'll have to be restrained - - goddam but this is gonna be fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CentralMass]

27. He won't have a fucking clue whats in the policy papers anyway.

[TrekLuver]

16. He needs to SHUT THE FUCK UP. He's going to push someone over the edge.

[smirkymonkey]

18. And that person is most likely going to be himself.

Let's hope so anyway.

[bucolic_frolic]

24. +1000x

Pushing toward mental breakdown, turn up the heat!

[Motown_Johnny]

19. Why hasn't anyone hacked his twitter account?

I bet the password is something like "PussyGrabber".

[blue cat]

46. That is full on funny!

[Takket]

20. first tweet is the most chilling

he is setting up again his justification to eventually shut the press out of government completely

[spanone]

21. nice try trump

[myohmy2]

26. the Russian...

...Presidential plant must fear we're getting closer to the truth...

[Squinch]

28. The wording of these is very impotent. He's just whining. He's REALLY pissed and thrown off

by the hearings.

Yay!

[mountain grammy]

29. I'm sure Putin is telling him to calm down

In just 15 days it'll all be yours.

[rzemanfl]

30. Oh fuck you Donald you Russian puppet. Say three times,

"Not a puppet." Bat-shit crazy.

[HipChick]

32. Let's tie him to Russian hacking for the rest of his term

hang it around his neck

[Eyeball_Kid]

44. It's rather Karmic, eh?

He made his mark on the political scene by claiming that Obama's presidency was illegitimate.

Now his own presidency, by "virtue" of Russian hacking, is now being perceived as illegitimate.

This will stay with him.

As an aside, Thom Hartmann opined earlier today that, while Russian interference may have had an influence, Chris Kobach's voter registration "crosschecking" policy, adopted over several states, may have had a more concrete influence on the defeat of Clinton.

[Glimmer of Hope]

33. I reported this tweet on grounds that it is abusive or harmful. Make it stop!

[sarah FAILIN]

34. I tweeted at him

That it was just a pic of him and Pootie snuggling by a fire. I thought it was funny.

[bdamomma]

40. good

That is his pootie.

[C_U_L8R]

35. Poor Donnie's brain is just too small

He just doesn't understand.
It must be so hard being so ignorant.

[madinmaryland]

36. Huh? The orange shitgibbon hacked up a phlegmball??

[retrowire]

37. Those three tweets are all it takes

To create enough conspiracy to cover his ass.

Corruption is easy when everyone is stupid!

[True_Blue]

47. Yep

He'll just tweet a lie, make a sarcastic remark and his sheeple will fall right into formation.

[retrowire]

48. All they see is a strong rich witty man.

I know it's hard for us to see but that's exactly what they see.

[bdamomma]

38. just posting this last sentence

which holds true

The media should pay less attention what Trump is tweeting and more attention to what Trump is actually doing.

I read this article from another poster

[Thor_MN]

39. His little fingers are all up in outrage...

[bdamomma]

41. oh god

don't let him near those codes!!!!!

[peggysue2]

42. Just listened to something chilling

Ari Melber is sitting in for Lawrence O'Donnell and spoke with an intelligence officer who said Trump is basically running his own disinformation campaign. Against his own people. Us. He's willfully ignorant and appears to be purposeful in this anti-intelligence community mantra. Frum was also on and said Putin's purpose is beyond obvious--destabilize and weaken Western democracies, the US being the big enchilada. Having a willing puppet in the WH is a gift come true because Putin will, by default, be the world's most powerful leader after Don the Con's inauguration, pulling the strings here and throughout Europe. Ditch NATO, get rid of the UN and whip white nationalism into a frenzy.

It's working. No wonder those Russian officials were cheering and high-fiving after the election results came in. They won, bigly.

[colorado_ufo]

45. Of course they did!

They were celebrating the victory that all their hard work of hacking and false news brought them.

Maybe Don the Con should be checking with Putin to see what he plans to do to replace Obamacare.

This was my fear since first hearing about his ties to Russia, beginning with his praise of Putin: Impossible though it may seem, I feared that our country - our democracy - would become under the control of a foreign power. Then it was Manafort. Then it just got worse and worse and worse - including Melania's father's ties to Russia and so much more.

Trump has a history of ignoring all the rules, and the power of the Executive will give give him an excuse to do whatever he wants, fully backed by a Republican Congress and probably a Supreme Court.

All our National secrets, our hard-gathered intelligence, our Treasury, everything - Wall Street, too - will be under Putin's guiding hand. Behind the scenes, most likely, but it will still be there.

I hope and pray that the CIA is using a timing factor to reveal its most important information. This is truly our only chance to either prevent Trump's taking the Oath of Office or to suffer immediate impeachment. Otherwise, once he assumes the office, he will be largely untouchable, as was Cheney and "W."

Trump is actually NOT stupid - he is highly intelligent. But he is largely uneducated, lacks empathy and a moral compass, has huge impulse control issues, and is under the control of his own ego, which leaves him very vulnerable to influence and open to making rash and grandiose decisions (which is probably one of the factors in his bankruptcies).

But never underestimate him - he is a master manipulator and will do whatever it takes to get what he wants and keep it.

Perhaps a third and fourth term?

49. "What's going on?"

That sort of BS doesn't fly anymore Donny. Sit in on a briefing sometime and find out. Even the trumpanzees can do that math
