1. That's pretty freakin thin. What was their other response? An arrow and the word "squirrel"?

[FarPoint]

2. They make my head hurt.

I'm also nauseated.

3. Can somebody help me out here? Never mind!

I don't know how to get to the original of the posted tweet. I want to enlarge the talking points--I can't read the tiny print and don't know how to enlarge it here, if that's even possible. I tried to copy the tweet to paste it in Write, but it won't copy.

Never mind--I figured it out. Click on it. Duh.

[reflection]

4. "Why is no one investigation"?

Yep, it's legit. That's Grade A GOPspeak.

[Freethinker65]

5. Hmm? WH travel office, Whitewater, Monica, Benghazi, email server, Clinton Foundation, etc.

So much more important, and worth all the time and money spent, than investigating foreign involvement in our national elections, money laundering, and obstruction of justice by the sitting president.

Yeah, GOP, go with those talking points. Sad.

16. Don't forget Socks' Christmas cards

The Clintons had a cute little children's club ostensibly hosted by Socks, their cat. Socks would send out newsletters with little historical tidbits about the White House, an educational thing. One holiday season, everyone on the mailing list got a Christmas card from Socks. House Republicans launched an investigation into whether any public funds had been squandered on this. Twenty years later these same bastards see nothing wrong with the Third Lady maintaining separate living quarters from the President, or that the President spends a great hunk of his time patronizing his own properties and charging expenses back to the American people.

6. I love leakers.

7. This is hilarious!

The talking points berating leaks were themselves leaked! Somebody call a plumber.

8. I can't believe he pays people to produce something like this

It looks so amateur..

[Fred Sanders]

9. Democracy? Just more evidence of the plunge into facism by the GOP.

[Tanuki]

10. I'm starting to feel like I'm trapped in an M.C. Escher print.

[sfwriter]

11. Remember, when you hear these points, it means they got NOTHIN'.

This is a retreat into a paper mache' Potemkin Village of deflection and distraction and we've got the torches.

[HipChick]

13. Zip Zero...

[Gothmog]

12. Those are weak talking points

[GusBob]

14. They are missing the big fish

The investigation into the financials.

Follow. The. Money.

15. This must have come from the vaunted "War Room" that Trump

was supposedly setting up after he returned from curtseying and fondling orbs overseas last month.
https://www.google.com/amp/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN18M2FU

"Once U.S. President Donald Trump returns from his overseas trip, the White House plans to launch its most aggressive effort yet to push back against allegations involving Russia and his presidential campaign, tackling head-on a scandal that has threatened to consume his young presidency.

Trump's advisers are planning to establish a "war room" to combat mounting questions about communication between Russia and his presidential campaign before and after November's presidential election, while bringing new aides into the White House, administration officials and persons close to Trump told Reuters.".......

[moonscape]

21. Who writes these?

And where are the DNC daily points?

They can't stop saying "no collusion!"

Collusion.

22. Dear Leaker of RNC Talking Points,

Please do this more often.

It will allow our media to put your talking points on the screen while the Trump defenders gish gallop their way through an interview.

The host could then highlight the talking point on the screen while the defenders spew out their garbage, and point out to the audience that the entire argument was pre-conceived and distributed to right wing talking heads for organized dissemination.

It would certainly diminish their paper-thin arguments, and let Americans know that THIS IS ALL THEY'VE GOT.
