The media has goine into full meltdown mode over the latest Trump tweets. This time, however, Trump is making a point that the media refuses to acknowledge, and cannot accept. After eight years of worshiping at the altar of The One, Barack Obama, there is no way that they can deal with the reality that the “Russian meddling” with the 2016 election happened on their Beloved One’s watch.
President Trump started Sunday morning with a tweet storm. We’ve seen this before.
Finally, Liddle’ Adam Schiff, the leakin’ monster of no control, is now blaming the Obama Administration for Russian meddling in the 2016 Election. He is finally right about something. Obama was President, knew of the threat, and did nothing. Thank you Adam!

Now that Adam Schiff is starting to blame President Obama for Russian meddling in the election, he is probably doing so as yet another excuse that the Democrats, lead by their fearless leader, Crooked Hillary Clinton, lost the 2016 election. But wasn’t I a great candidate?

If it was the GOAL of Russia to create discord, disruption and chaos within the U.S. then, with all of the Committee Hearings, Investigations and Party hatred, they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. They are laughing their asses off in Moscow. Get smart America!

Yes, Adam Schiff himself was forced to admit that President Obama ignored Russia as a threat. The 80’s were calling, and he didn’t answer the phone.

But the media went into attack mode… on Trump. Because the indictment of the 13 Russians through the Mueller probe means that Trump failed to pay attention to the Russian meddling, which was TOTES LIKE PEARL HARBOR, YOU KNOW.
My favorite thing that happened on TV today was @brianstelter fretting that a Fox News person would spin that @ktumulty compared Russian election interference to Pearl Harbor…

The media all got their talking points for this one.
Imagine if FDR discounted the importance of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and focused on how his critics had no proof that he knew about it. #RussianPearlHarbor

The Russians committed an act of war against our democracy. If Trump were President on Dec. 7, 1941: “Japan started building aircraft carriers long before I became President, and they haven’t attacked any of my resort properties. What we should really be focused on is Wilkie”

Imagine if, after 9/11, the president saw the attack as a political embarrassment to be minimized rather than as a national security threat to be combated. That’s roughly where we stand after the 2nd-worst foreign attack on America in recent decades. Me: https://t.co/MatJYEJO9g

Imagine how history would have judged Franklin D. Roosevelt in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, if he had taken to the radio airwaves to declare that Tokyo was “laughing their asses off.” https://t.co/otLkL1kxwr

Let’s just ignore how completely and inaccurately offensive this analogy is to those who died at Pearl Harbor, and move onto the the main event. The media is suffering from their selective amnesia when it comes to remembering anything critical about President Obama. Let’s go to the videotape, shall we? Grab your popcorn.
“There is no serious person out there who would suggest that you could even rig America’s elections, in part because they are so decentralized. There is no evidence that that has happened in the past, or that there are instances that that could happen this time,” [Obama] said.
“So I’d advise Mr. Trump to stop whining, and go make his case to get votes,” the president added.
“And if he gets the most votes, it would be my expectation of Hillary Clinton to offer a gracious concession speech and pledge to work with him in order to ensure that the American people benefit from an effective government. And it would be my job to welcome Mr. Trump, regardless of what he has said about me, or my differences with him, and escort him over to the Capitol at which there would be a peaceful transfer of power. That is what Americans do. That is why America is already great. One way to make it less great, is if you start betraying those basic American traditions that have been bipartisan and have helped to hold together this democracy now for well over two centuries.”
Odds of the above clip being played on CNN right now? Zero.
Mitt Romney points out that Russia is our biggest geopolitical foe back in 2012. Obama laughs. Media swoons, points and laughs at Romney.
Donald Trump dares to wonder aloud if the election is being rigged in 2016. Obama laughs. Media swoons, points and laughs at Trump.
Mueller indicts 13 Russians for election interference. Media flips out because Trump dared point a finger at their precious former God-King Obama and remind everyone of who was president when this alleged interference happened. The very interference that Obama publicly scoffed at. In public. On video.
There are some things that are never going to change, and the media’s constant adulation of Barack Obama is one of them.
Imagine if FDR discounted the importance of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and focused on how his critics had no proof that he knew about it.
Imagine if FDR really did know about Pearl Harbor, did nothing about it, and partisan shitbags blamed it on Truman.
.. Especially as the problem had been highlighted years before. Like in the court martial of Billy Mitchell. He accurately predicted the attack on Pearl Harbour, and was dismissed from the Army for it.
“…it would be my expectation of Hillary Clinton to offer a gracious concession speech and pledge to work with him…”
Doubly wrong.
Watching that clip your realize everytime he opens his mouth he is projecting. In 2008 at a rally he called the system rigged and that the other side ( republicans ) cheat…since Al Gore democrats at every lost election excuse the other side stealing the it. The whole time he is giving this sanctimonious speech he knows that his government is spying on the Trump campaign and are gone to court to accuse his political opponent of operating as a enemy of they state, what’s more evil and undemocratic than that.
The doisser that he knew DNC/ Hillary paid for accused Trump of working against his country, Carter Page was just a conduit. His administration at a secret court got surveillance warrants under the premise that Trump was foreign agent and only proof they offered was paid for allegations by Obama’s political party. What democrats, corrupt officials and the corrupt media did once Trump won was even worse, trying to frame him for high crimes and paralyze a incoming administration.
Galling to hear him talk about peaceful transfer of power, really!!! many democrats boycotted the actual transfer of power and have behaved like a bunch of seditious bastards since.
Imagine if those who call the Russian election meddling “an act of war” showed that they really meant it by demanding that Congress declare war on Russia.
It was FDR’s idea to move the fleet from San Diego to the more exposed location at Pearl Harbor against the advice of the admirals. He never took responsibility for that.
President Trump is now at Stradivarius-level in playing the media.
Am I the only ones recommending that President Bush was routinely accused of “overreacting” to 9/11 so he could kill brown people and steal their oil?
[…] cats following his laser pointer. They can’t help […]
“2nd worst foreign attack on America in recent decades.”
I’m very embarrassed I used to read Max Boot years ago and couldn’t see that he was a raving nutcase with a veneer of respectability.
So I guess that the Clinton and Obama administrations both committed an act of war against Israel by trying to sway their elections to get the Labor party elected (since that’s the only way that the Democrats can go through the motions of pretending to be pro-Israel).
Funny, I don’t hear anyone in Israel comparing the Dems election meddling to the Holocaust.
