President Trump embarked on his latest Twitter tirade on Saturday morning, targeting CNN for its “garbage journalism,” reiterating claims of voter fraud, and bashing NBC hosts Joe Scarborough and "dumb as a rock" Mika Brzezinski for their “low rated show.” Trump also commented on Greta Van Susteren’s reported ouster at MSNBC, saying the host was “let go by her out of control bosses at NBC and Comcast because she refused to go along w/ 'Trump hate!'” He also made a point to reiterate voter fraud claims, writing, “Numerous states are refusing to give information to the very distinguished VOTER FRAUD PANEL. What are they trying to hide?”

UPDATE:

Trump: MSNBC Fired Greta Van Susteren Because She Wouldn’t Go Along With ‘Trump Hate’

by Justin Baragona | 10:19 am, July 1st, 2017

The president has been quite busy on Twitter this Saturday morning, as is his habit. Besides continuing his feud with Morning Joe hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, POTUS also decided to weigh in on a recent move by MSNBC.

As you may recall, the network let go of host Greta Van Susteren on Thursday after only six months, something she first revealed on Twitter. Well, the president noted that he’s been hearing things about why Greta was dumped:

While one can make the case that Van Susteren wasn’t as anti-Trump as many of the other hosts in the MSNBC lineup, she did speak critically of the president’s actions from time to time. Memorably, after Trump sent some tweets out stating that he never personally taped conversations with ex-FBI Director James Comey, Van Susteren tore into POTUS for his original “tapes” tweet, stating that it appeared he was trying to intimidate a witness.

Prior to her short-lived stint at MSNBC, Van Susteren hosted a program on Fox News for 14 years where she interviewed then-candidate Trump. Before that, she worked for CNN.

1. This can't go on for much longer.

He's both insane and dangerous. It was amusing for a bit, but it's now downright scary.

[Wellstone ruled]

32. As long as Donnie the Dump can

keep the focus on him,all the rest of the world can go to hell,IT IS ALL ABOUT DONNIE.

[StevieM]

61. Oh, I don't know. I think it can go on for another 3 1/2 years.

The Republicans in Congress will never stand up to him.

The only way we are going to get rid of this guy is to vote him out.

[FakeNoose]

62. He sounds like that Drunk Uncle on SNL

[adigal]

69. 2018 is THE MOST IMPORTANT vote in my life and I'm 55

We must work like hell to GOTV and then we can impeach and remove this asshat.

[Snarkoleptic]

2. Do keep in mind he's trying to divert from collusion/treason bombshells.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029275940

[Auggie]

5. +1,000,000,000,000,000

[Ligyron]

13. Also, like Rachael said last night, to distract from that disastrous health care bill.

Now he and a few others say if they can't do both - just repeal the ACA and craft a new bill later. This idea would throw 32 million off the insurance markets instead of just 20 something. He is a master at distraction.

Every time there is bad news for the GOP or something is happening he doesn't want the public to know or think too much about, he just sends out an over-the-top, outrageous tweet. He accrues no cost for this as it only degrades the image and office of the Presidency which was only a means to an end for him anyway.

[groundloop]

18. Not to mention his dismantling of the EPA and his myriad of other disastrous policies

While we're busy talking about 45*s latest tweet tirade he's allowing his rich friends to poison our air and water, taking money away from public schools and diverting it to private business, and on and on.

There's so much harm being done right now through his choices for agency leaders etc. that it would take Democratic administrations 20 years to fix everything. We're fucked if we can't get control of the House and Senate ASAP.

[Honeycombe8]

21. I think the Republicans are okay with all that, though. So he doesn't need distraction for that. nt

[INdemo]

14. What will the Republican leaders think when Trump gives Putin back his

properties in Maryland and releases the sanctions against Russia?
Those actions should be the last straw.

[mitch96]

37. Divert from collusion/treason

Totally agree... Like others said Rachel nailed it.. She is so eloquent and makes things simple to understand.
I thing this reiterating claims of voter fraud is a false flag operation to limit voters that might ruin the elections and his re-election... YMMV.
m

[Kaleva]

70. His tweets don't sidetrack investigative journalists, Mueller or Congressional Committees

[Blue Idaho]

3. Why would any world leader

Invite this lunatic to visit their nation? He is as mad as a box of frogs.

[Honeycombe8]

22. Because unfortunately he's the leader of the strongest power on earth. nt

[rzemanfl]

43. What an insult to frogs, tadpoles too. Sad. n/t

[MGKrebs]

4. We (as a country) have to be very careful here.

Having a lunatic as president is bad enough. Racist, misogynist, whatever all he is, is bad. But when he starts messing with the voting system we really do need to draw the line. This is not acceptable.

His personally appointed vice-chair of the commission he is ranting about also won't- and can't- give the info to the panel. It's not legal. So Trump either knows this and is trying to create some hysteria anyway, or he just doesn't understand, which seems highly unlikely.

All the pieces of fascism are in place; the "loyalists" around him, the nationalism, the attempts to control the media, the attacks on enemies real and perceived... the final piece is to manipulate the voting system so they can never be challenged.

Just think of this! He is chasing an imaginary crisis that he invented and criticizing states for not violating the law and helping him pursue his delusion. He is trying to rig the system and it can't be allowed to happen.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. +10,000x

you are thinking ahead, and that is extremely important because to many they only see or understand real time

[Marthe48]

7. kobachs and hans

et al are petting trump. They knew the laws, but the request for records is a binky for the baby in the White House. Timing it for now distracts from the shoes dropping on all sides. And the ridiculous tweets about a news show and news outlet is one of the most stupid actions I've ever seen.

If trump sent a tweet about me, I would laugh myself silly. The old thing about sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me. It's not like he's going to go to the network and physically do anything to the crew. He doesn't have the balls. And his traitor brownshirts are busy with crowd control in Oregon, and other jackboot activities.

I don't watch Morning Joe. But I'm glad they are under diaper's skin. Plenty of us are watching trump's other hand and his diversions won't work any more.

[ghostsinthemachine]

11. Excellent post

Right to the point. Thank you.

[Martin Eden]

20. I'm not sure if Trump is trying to rig the system or feed his giant ego

Maybe both, but all the crazy bullshit serves to distract and confuse.

Hey -- look over here! (while backstage the real theft goes on)

[Honeycombe8]

23. This is my fear. Fascism is gradually taking place. Like a shrimp boiling in water....

Some will not realize the cool water is heating up until it's too late.

Our Congressmen are not protecting the country.

[rzemanfl]

45. My view on this-

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=9273586

[MGKrebs]

67. I suspect they would love to have the data, but having an enemy

conspiring against them is just as good for their purposes.

[rzemanfl]

68. If they had the data someone would have to write a data-based report saying Twitler was wrong.

"They just won't cooperate" gets them off the hook. He has already bought into the narrative hook, line and sinker.

[Sunlei]

54. That fucking up Americas vote is the Entire Republican partys agenda. Even if trump disappears the

Republican agenda to make it harder & harder to vote will continue.

[Juliusseizure]

55. Rig elections and corrupt the Supreme Court

and you have fascism.

Keep GOP majorities in congress and get one or two more Trump loyalists on the Supreme Court and there are no effective checks and balances.

[dalton99a]

8. Dumb as a rock Donald is giving much needed attention to the voter intimidation panel

[lark]

9. The real question for Hair Furor is what is he trying to divulge.

Why do you want all this information, to give it to Russia so they can delete all the Democrats from the voting rolls? Why they aren't releasing it? rIf he would take the time to read privacy laws, I'm sure he'd get an answer. But as usual, he just revels in his utter ignorance and never tries to find out the true facts.

[Honeycombe8]

24. That's what I think. A national list for Russia to hack and alter. Make it easy for them.

We know they hacked registered voter data for some states. Thank God there wasn't a national list for them to zero in on parties or geographic areas they wanted to target. Each state, each district required a hack, and a different one at that. A national list would require ONE hack.

They WILL do it.

Trump is in place as a puppet. He's doing his job for them. Now to get a list lined up. All the pieces will line up for Russia to take control.

[Juliusseizure]

40. Makes perfect sense

Another reason for the back channels and ongoing intimidation of the FBI, etc. There may be future collusion planned. He's not winning in 2020 based on his record.

[Honeycombe8]

41. Yes. Seems like the admin is spending as much time on his RE-ELECTION as they are spending

on taking care of the country's business. Trump's already been doing fundraisers, flattering Putin even more, and now this, to be used for 2018 no doubt.

This is the payoff to Congress. Do what I want...and I'll see you get re-elected (wink wink).

[FarPoint]

10. Trump loves this shit with Joe and Mika so much more than....

Russian Mafia Connection...I myself could care less about Joe and Mika.. they should be able to deal with tRump.

I prefer to go straight back to the Mueller Investigation....

[customerserviceguy]

46. I don't know about anybody else here

but I smell a rat. Joe and Mika were so nicey-nicey to Trump during the election, it seems quite peculiar that they've had such a public falling-out lately. Rather than de-escalating it, Mika comes out with the Cheerios box. I thought one of the first rules of journalism was to report the story, not to become the story.

As for Mika's intelligence, isn't this the same person that people here were calling MikaMouse because she couldn't out-argue Joe when he'd go on a conservative rant?

[IronLionZion]

12. I hope he's forgotten the nuclear codes

because he's about to crack

This is an unhealthy obsession

[Baitball Blogger]

15. The only ones more crazy than Trump are his supporters.

They probably won't be able to connect Trump's ties to Russia and Russia's interference with the 2016 election with the State's reluctance to hand them the next election with voter information.

[Honeycombe8]

25. Trumpers totally believe every...word...Trump...says. It's not they aren't able to connect...

it's that they aren't willing to, and see no need to examine the facts themselves. They have someone who is telling them what's what, so why do they need to bother with their own decision making?

Trump has told them that the free press is the enemy of the people. Check.
Trump has told them the Russian thing is a partisan witch hunt by the Democrats. Check.
Trump has told them it has been proven he didn't collude. Check.
Trump has told them that he is not being investigated personally. Check.
Trump has told them that Mueller is heading a fake investigation as a witch hunt, because he's best friends w/Comey. Check.

[Baitball Blogger]

31. Exactly.

Unless the conservative sacred cows (i.e. military leaders) come out and speak against Trump, his lemming supporters will follow him over the cliff and take us all down with them.

[Juliusseizure]

49. They sadistically enjoy the browbeating

This is what they wanted and what being politically incorrect means. A toxic attack dog with a lot of anger just like them. It makes them feel empowered even when he's ready to let them die and permanently impoverish them.

Meanwhile, Obama had to polite, and I think a lot of that Clinton hatred had to do with her being blunt in her criticisms.

[DinahMoeHum]

16. Even if what Trump said about Mika was true. . .

. . .that still makes her a whole lot SMARTER by infinite orders of magnitude.

[neeksgeek]

17. "What are they trying to hide?"

My reply:

Oh, nothing, really. Just the private information of private citizens. We're not your property.

[DesertRat]

19. I agree with Sen. Chris Murphy

My god. This is what your President spends all his time thinking about. Not jobs. Not health care. Not ISIS. Cable news shows.

Link to tweet

[ginnyinWI]

52. That's my take exactly

He isn't doing anything complicated like trying to distract people from healthcare, for example. His attention span is short and he's bored with all this President stuff.

Like a person with dementia will do, he gets fixated on a subject and then just wears it out. It's the fake news media and Mika in particular right now.

He's mentally ill, and not capable of much, if any, strategic thinking. It might look like it, but I think that's just a coincidence.

[worstexever]

58. Completely agree

He is an attention whore and is not smart enough to strategically create a distraction. This nonsense is all there is with 45.

[CTyankee]

71. Chris Murphy makes me glad to live in CT...

[DesertRat]

72. You should be!

I have Senator envy.

[mountain grammy]

26. Fucking insane.

[Vinca]

27. Time to adjust the dosage again.

[MFM008]

28. VanSquarehead

Was fired because no one was watching her dull ass.
Pretty simple.

[rurallib]

36. And I thought her boss - Andrew Lack - was considered a Trump buddy

or at least a fan of Trumpy

The one enjoyable part to me is to see him eating his own party.

[J_William_Ryan]

29. The concern is

that Trump's bad behavior will become the new normal over the next three years, and voters will grow oblivious to it.

[oxbow]

30. Well, they forbade him from talking about Russia

Whaddaya expect? His lawyers made him stop antagonizing Mueller. Meanwhile, he's sitting on a volcano of fear and rage...all that suppression has to come out somewhere. We're lucky it's not coming out of his eyes, his....whatever.

[aquamarina]

33. He is truly certifiable.

I'm not sure I even care anymore how it ends. I just want it to end. Every time he flaps his pie hole he puts this country more at risk.

[McCamy Taylor]

34. He's trying to distract from the SOS rebellion. Ignore him.

[Amaryllis]

35. THis is a major distraction from a lot of really serious stuff that is going on, as RAchel said

yesterday.

[HipChick]

38. Ignore...he's trying to divert the news cycle from Russia Collusion story

[Amaryllis]

44. From Russia, NOrth Korea, health care, and states rejecting his voter fraud scheme,

his poor ratings, among other things.

[appleannie1943]

39. The media should start ignoring his tweets. They should also stop showing up for daily briefings.

They should just dig harder into what is really going on and blast out headlines on that every day. If no one responded to his attention seeking garbage, he would explode into tiny pieces or at the least, have a stroke. He is like a little kid laying on the floor kicking his feet and pounding his head. If you ignore that behavior, it stops working. The more attention you pay to it, the more often it is done.

[Leghorn21]

56. Yesssss! What a beautiful vision, eh, apple?? Press is gathered to hear him spout crap, and

they get up and split halfway through his blabber-fest. In unison. Adios. Empty suit addresses empty seats. What heaven!!!!!!!!

This whole "access" dilemma? - nah. Nonexistent. Neither he nor his press secs do anything but blow fetid air and lies. Plus oh god they are so terminally boorrrrring.

And besides, the way this WH leaks? Who needs "access"? We already have it, ffs.

On, and never ever again mention his gossipy, brain-dead tweets. EVER.

Anyway, repeat: Yesssss!

[BobTheSubgenius]

42. Damn it!

These are almost measured and thoughtful....you know, considering everything.

I was hoping for something truly unhinged.

[salin]

47. His words: the "Voter Fraud Panel"

oh my goodness, for a second he tweeted a truth - this panel is about committing fraud against voters.

[Thinkingabout]

48. Trump is working on his agenda, he works for Putin, not the US. He is more concerned with

trying to keep the wolves off of his ass and doing what Putin wants which is to destroy our democracy.

[uppityperson]

50. When does this become libel?

[Sunlei]

51. 8AM on a Saturday morning. Get off your ass Mr. Trump and take your family to the Park!

[BumRushDaShow]

57. He flew to NJ to his golf club for July 4th.

His idea of "park" will be his greens, with him in the cart rolling around and watching (and probably doing this) -

[Sunlei]

59. Without his son and wife playing the game at his side. Hot and HUMID-sweats a BIG butt stain.

[BumRushDaShow]

60. They are probably glad to get rid of him. 😁

[Sunlei]

63. everyone who works in the WH can't wait for the Republicans lunatic to get out of town.

Happy 4th!

[oswaldactedalone]

65. Cute pics of

Barry Soetoro!

[BumRushDaShow]

66. Malia Obama will turn 19 that day (July 4th)!

Happy upcoming birthday to Malia and the U.S.

[DesertRat]

64. Yup

[onecaliberal]

53. Will someone step forward to push him over the edge please. It really won't take much now .
