That's the funniest part.
With his tweet storm today, he made today an historic day.

(2,807 posts)Anybody with just a bit of a frontal lobe knows Obama can't wiretap anybody. Sadly that excludes Most all Trump voters.
Somebody told him he's been wiretapped. I've suspected he has been, the FBI has been investigating Russian illegal interference in our election.
Here's the thing, if youve been wiretapped you want to keep quiet about. Cause there's a bad reason a judge issued a warrant to tap your phones.
Donald just told the world there's a reason a judge issued a warrant to tap his phones. Only he ain't smart enough to figure out he told on himself.

(5,730 posts)Agree, that most of them have IQs around 80 to 90, definitely below average, which is 100. They are a different kind of stupid though. Not logic, not fact based, not science based, and they are proud of it. Herd mentality.
I think a lot cannot connect the dots, so they just follow their evil leaders. A lot are so, so threatened by Dems, moderates, liberals, strong women like Hillary, that their fear won't allow them to connect the dots. Who they are is at stake.
Then, there are the Hillary haters, and now they are Obama haters. Throw in the racists, who have been practically normalized, and OMG.
These groups are the ones who will carry pitchforks and ropes to keep DT in power

After weeks of discussion of "transcripts", nerve transmissions from Donald tRump's auditory nerves finally made their way through to his reptilian mid-brain and suddenly he reacts.

(2,807 posts)Its a big dream I know. But I think we will see him charged with a crime.

(24,736 posts)Wonder whether his skin tone will match or clash with his orange jumpsuit.
One small request if not too much trouble: I've really been dreaming about seeing him twist in the wind. If he could just detour to his own petard on the way to prison, i would be grateful!

DefenseLawyer
(11,101 posts)But in general terms the point is the same: If the government has probable cause, they can go to a judge and get a warrant that allows them to intercept a person's calls. That is a "wire tap". So if person A's phone is tapped his calls are being monitored and recorded by the government. If Person B then calls Person A, then Person B is being recorded. It doesn't mean his phone is tapped, only that he called someone that was and got recorded. In this context, my guess is Trump has heard recordings of his guys talking to the Russians. He may assume that his phone was tapped, but the far more likely possibility is that the Russians they called were the ones being tapped.

He is told something and it becomes instantly real in his brain, so....

(12,412 posts)Now we have a situation of a real accusation of criminal behavior aimed at Obama and a real possibility of a criminal warrant having been issues against Trump.
The dice are rolled and we will become witness to how they land.

PJMcK
(22,037 posts)During the presidential campaign, it was revealed that Donald Trump has been a party to some 3,500 lawsuits during his career. If you average that throughout his professional life, it comes to something like one lawsuit every 3 or 4 days. No one does that.
More importantly, as with the Trump University case, he usually settles the cases. In other words, most of his lawsuits are probably intended to bully his opposition into either dropping their claims (because the costs would exceed the results) or settling for less than the claims.
So, although he is "probably the most litigious jackass EVER," (what a great phrase, Gabs!), he doesn't "win" his cases as he so often brags.
Donald Trump is an idiot.
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)as far as you did, which is absolutely spot on
I have his attention span, and no longer have the ability to focus beyond the few lines I can tap out in one brief spurt

thx for the expansion, though
