[sunonmars]

[Lars39]

25. A giant poppy in what looks like a camera lens?!

That is cool!

[JHan]

34. sexy as fk

[AJT]

3. GCHQ?

[hatrack]

4. UK Signals Intelligence Service

[monmouth4]

6. GCHQ?

[Angry Dragon]

8. Spider is such a tool that is broken

[sunonmars]

10. It comes to something when the WH Pressroom is now Rowan and Martins laugh in

Spicer needs straightjacketing.

[HipChick]

9. Can Obama sue for Libel now?

[onecaliberal]

11. Pretty sure

[sunonmars]

13. Obama just needs to post this......

[Boomerproud]

17. No. He needs to sue.

I know it would buck up all the way to the Supremes-but what a show and good civics lesson.

[Kimchijeon]

29. that about sums it up

[Saboburns]

32. This is a bit of a sore spot for me

I was advocating Obama suing for libel just a couple hours after I read Donald's (I refuse to call him President) tweet storm. And I got a lot of push back right here on DU.

But I see it as standing up to a bully. Want to shut up Donald? SUE HIS SORRY ASS FOR LIBEL.

12. Did you notice how long that tie was? And his suit is huge again.

I've never seen a more poorly dressed press secretary. He looks like a kid playing dress up with his dad's old suits.

[Turbineguy]

14. This is actually somewhat revealing.

Trump uses the Russians, Obama uses the Brits. It even makes sense like that.

[LiberalLovinLug]

15. It may very well be that the GCHQ was spying on him, after all he is a danger to the world

But how can Obama order a foreign entity like the GCHQ to do that?

[HipChick]

16. Couldn't he just ask May?

[sunonmars]

18. He wouldn't, GCHQ can however pass on information if it deemed it necessary to allies.

[LiberalLovinLug]

19. That is still a far cry from "Obama did it"

[procon]

20. They're just throwing out any crap they can think of to delay the inevitable.

Trump is an incompetent, impulsive, vindictive liar. Nothing he says is credible.

[sunonmars]

21. Its really a big lets muddy the water with shit, so no one knows wtf is going on.

[sinkingfeeling]

22. Good. I don't care who spied on the yapping yam as long as he

Is on rape betraying the country.

[Vinca]

24. Somebody better round up the psychiatrists and do an intervention.

We can't afford to have a POTUS who is batshit crazy. This has gone beyond amusing and quirky and "just Don being Don." It's nuts.

[C_U_L8R]

26. Is there one republican?

One republican who will stand up and say enough of the bullshit !!
This Trump has got to go !!!

[vlyons]

27. unbelievable load of BS

What an embarrassment. Got caught in a lie, and now covering it up with another lie. No honor whatsoever. Someone should wash out Trump's mouth with a bar of soap.

[Cha]

28. spiceLiar came out and told an obvious LIE at his very first presser and nothing

has changed.

Why would it? What does that gang of idiots have that they would want to tell the truth about?

[Kimchijeon]

30. Since trump will never admit he lied, the sycophants are forced to pretend

and help the dipshit dictator double-down on the bullshit.

[Frogg]

31. Crazy yes...but this is the narrative being woven for the base

The narrative is being woven...Obama is being set up. The base will latch onto this bs like moonpie on Sunday. They are spinning a story. Notice how in faux reporting they speak of the "Obama Administration" sought a fisa warrant, Spicey's rant about Obama admin loosening classification rules, etc. This is going to be the defense when the Russia story breaks. It is sickening. I am angry...very angry.

[GulfCoast66]

33. They are writing their own obituaries!

Trump is the fucking president. He knows the score. He know our NATO allies, while doing surveillance on Russian spies recorded many of his flunkies, and maybe even the president talking shit with the Russians. Trump eases sanctions in return for the Russians fucking over Hillary. Remember that odd change they made to the republican platform to soften the language about Russia? It is the one single time they showed any interest in the entire platform.

I think they were stupid enough that think that when they were in the white house they would totally control the government, be untouchable and the information would never come out. That is why Trump is starting to lose it. He is realizing that he has no power to prevent the info from coming out.

It is going to come out soon and the WH knows it. They are flailing for deflections when it does...Obama, the boogie man of everyone on the right. Trump's only hope is that enough of his rubes once again believe it was all Obama when evidence that should result in impeachment becomes public. I say the odds are in his favor.

Anyway, that is this man's opinion. I have no doubt it is full of shit. I usually am!

[roamer65]

35. The better question is:

What were you doing that would make GCHQ interested in listening to you, Dump?

If you are paranoid about it, you must have been doing something illegal.

PS...GCHQ is not American. They can listen to both foreign parties without worry of legal issues.

[nikibatts]

36. It's more like they voluntarily warned the Obama administration from their own surveillance ops.

Remember the dossier and who was responsible for it. They probably found out some alarming info and as a good ally turned it over to our intel folks.

[Panich52]

37. Dumpf's original accusation is an impeachable offense

acct to Constitutional expert Lawrence Tribe. Changing agencies doesn't invalidate Dumpf's crime
