Trump just tweeted that Russia DID meddle with the 2016 elections.

Wow! So the people who claimed that it was a hoax are wrong? It wasn't some fat hacker sitting on his bed?


EDIT: According to a DOJ-decision in 2017, Trump's tweets count as official presidential statements.

1. ATTN Donny Short Fingers as per why Obama did nothing.

Ask Mitch McConnell.

Paul Ryan knew and told GOP congresspersons that families keep secrets, the RNC and
Trey Gowdy's Committee used the data and computer files that Russia stole, and Fox News
along with Sean Hannity were being fed the Cambridge Analytica/Wikileaks "stuff" too.

8. Ding ding we have a winner

15. True that!

My thoughts, exactly!

What pieces of walking human feces DT and MM are.

2. Post-Truth.

The truth is whatever you want it to be at whatever moment it is.

The actual truth can either be buried or shamelessly flaunted because no one will know what is real anymore.

A favored tool of Putin and his chief propagandists.

3. Fuck you Drumpf, you Nazi. n/t

[Butterflylady]

4. Yep true to form

Always blame someone else.

5. Resign the office

7. And this, on the day Joe/Mika discontinue showing his tweets on-air.

Maybe if all the media discontinue tweet coverage, he'll get unhinged enough to spew more confessions like this. Fucking moron thug.

[Maru Kitteh]

16. Those two assholes helped GIVE us Trump - their former buddy. Now they want to

act all shocked and aggrieved because he's a worthless, whoremongering incompetent abomination. Screw them.

[Paladin]

18. Don't look for any Joe/Mika defenses from me.

I stopped watching them a long time ago, and I've been trashing them here at DU, for a while. The only reason I knew about their new policy re trump twitters was because I read about it here at DU, this morning.

9. Wait but...

Putin was so strong and forceful in his denial. This can't be true!

[duforsure]

10. Why is he actively preventing anything now from being done,

McConnell stopping him too? lol. Believing anything trump says is a waste of time, he lies too much to ever be believed. Maybe President Obama was allowing a case to be built to take you and the GOP down for corruption , conspiring with a foreign enemy, a corrupt government with putin, and have all the crimes exposed, and while trump actively tries to obstruct the truth from exposing all of them. trump is just worried he unknowingly set himself up for what's happening now to him and the GOP. trump was the one who refused to testify before Mueller , and will also refuse to talk in open hearing under oath to the House om this. Someone who refuses to talk under oath s a crook , and trying to hide his crimes. He's also making more people run away from him and the GOP , and didn't learn anything from the Mid terms.

11. This jackass

is obsessed with Obama because he realizes that he's not 1/100 the man Obama is.

[TalenaGor]

12. because Lindsey Graham threatened him....

But as I recall he did do some things... like taking care of a lot of documents....I remember a story about him developing a filing system so that they could tell if anything was missing....

I'm sure he was doing everything he could behind the scenes...

[djacq]

13. Shouldn't Trump ask Turtle Mitch this question.

[Texin]

14. Obama? Whatabout Mitch?

Obama DID do "something". He imposed SANCTIONS on the Russians. You promised your little buddy Putin you'd lift them. And you DID! (Never mind the fact that the Congress unanimously voted to keep them in place).

Obama went to McConnell before the *election to issue a joint message/address about tRussian meddling, and McConnell demurred.

[ProfessorGAC]

17. As Dumb As Usual

It's Obama's fault because he did nothing about it over 8 weeks, but this buffoon has done nothing for 27 months!
In 15 or 16 times the period, he's done nothing, but it's the fault of someone who had 7% of the time to address it?
Monumentally stupid!
