Titled with Across in mind Wink

May all the Oaf's problems be big ones, and the events of this week at least be the beginning of the beginning of the end.

I must confess my “if you are not antifa then you must be pro-nazi” comment was nicked from either Facebook or Twitter, I don’t remember which. It was a bit longer than that but covered the general gist!

Helpful thread on some more "what is he even talking about" kind of remarks from the president:

Chris Geidner
@chrisgeidner
This is Trump’s second tweet about this Daily Caller report from
@rpollockDC: link: dailycaller.com/2018/08/27/china-hacked-clinton-server/ dailycaller.com/2018/08/27/chi…

(To be clear, no one else is reporting the claims in the Daily Caller report, other than by way of repeating the Daily Caller report, which appears to have come out of some comments from Rep. Louie Gohmert in a committee hearing in July.)

Recall this was the chart Gohmert displayed at a congressional hearing this past November:
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Here, care of Rep. Louie Gohmert's office, is the full chart he displayed at today's House Judiciary Committee oversight hearing.

Gohmert also told Tucker in earlier July that he thinks it’s likely that someone in the intelligence community is spying on him:

They didn’t take him seriously. I didn’t take him seriously, and that’s my fault, personally. But I think the whole city didn’t take him seriously
He has always been criminal scum, the fact that he wasn't 'taken seriously' enough by those who were supposed to uphold the law is how he kept his freedom and get where he is today.

When you see “anonymous source,” stop reading the story, it is fiction!

“Anonymous Sources are really starting to BURN the media.”
@FoxNews
The fact is that many anonymous sources don’t even exist. They are fiction made up by the Fake News reporters. Look at the lie that Fake CNN is now in. They got caught red handed! Enemy of the People!

DeSantis' spox tells me this is something the congressman says “frequently" to express something that was messed up or not done right.

Spox says it “had nothing to do with race or anything like that" but just talking about the situation in Florida.

I'm a lurker on these threads but very thankful to the posters who keep me informed.

Having seen the news if the primaries today this tweet with the clip just shows to me how horrifying US politics is

[[Ana Navarro (@ananavarro) tweeted at 3:48 pm on Wed, Aug 29, 2018:
As a Floridian, it was my hope this Governor’s race would be about the pressing issues facing our state -rising tides, algae outbreak, trade, economy, jobs. I had hoped it would not be one were racism was front and center. That hope lasted all of 10 hours. t.co/KeBENvMovw

An FBI official is disputing these claims, telling @abc that the FBI still has found no evidence that the server was compromised by anyone (China, Russia or anyone else).
@realDonaldTrump
Hillary Clinton’s Emails, many of which are Classified Information, got hacked by China. Next move better be by the FBI & DOJ or, after all of their other missteps (Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr, FISA, Dirty Dossier etc.), their credibility will be forever gone!

Of course he did! But it sounds as if the D.C. judge may not look too kindly on it. She's already cited with a bit of disapproval the many delays Manafort's attorneys have requested.

Winder who the Roanoke judge would be? A Scrotus appointee by any chance? 🙎🏼‍♀️
