I wish Kim Jong Un was in a position to call Don a fat fucking dipshit with weird hair who would be a nobody without his father's wealth and power, but...it is not to be.

Man those two are fucking mirror images, aren't they?

I'm waiting for them to have a Stepbrothers moment where they go "Did we just become best friends?" "YEP!"

Wonder who will offend the softies these days with the wrong choice of anti PC words. Maybe the protestors can go over to North Korea and put on a demonstration. Dotard was funny seeing on CNN last night.

Rest assured my southern friends. I'll erase that niggers accomplishments sooner or later. Free Bird!!

Dude is fucking nuts. Completely out of his tree.

At Alabama rally tonight, in regards to Kim Jong-un:

"He should have been handled eight years ago, and four years ago, and honestly -- and 15 years ago, and 20 years ago, and 25 years ago. This shouldn't be handled now, but I'm going to handle it because we have to handle it."

Well, at least we can sleep well knowing he's got a full grasp of the situation at hand here.

We definitely should've dropped a nuke on Kim Jong-un when he was 8.

Should have gotten Dennis Rodman to poison his chop suey.

Trump made a slightly indirect (but still kinda direct) reference to Colin Kaepernick as a "son of a bitch" at an Alabama rally. Ridiculous language, but the base just loves to watch the Clint Eastwood show, doesn't it? Aside from the politics, this Kaepernick situation continues to be fucked up. The man can't get hired anywhere while Michael Vick is a TV commentator on Fox Sports.

Now he's crying because a Steph Curry is "hesitant" to visit the White House. Fine then! Disinvited!

He's almost as easy to trigger as TenLenny.

It shows how fucked up shit is when people all over the internet are chuckling at Kim Jung Uns response to a US President. And agreeing with him.

I wish Kim would join twitter. I'd rather these two went back on forth on there instead of the potential of WW3.

Would it match these epic flame wars of Dym and Stoner that he's always talking about having in the past?

Wait a sec, Cheeto was right?



US government wiretapped former Trump campaign chairman

US investigators wiretapped former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort under secret court orders before and after the election, sources tell CNN, an extraordinary step involving a high-ranking campaign official now at the center of the Russia meddling probe.

The government snooping continued into early this year, including a period when Manafort was known to talk to President Donald Trump.
Some of the intelligence collected includes communications that sparked concerns among investigators that Manafort had encouraged the Russians to help with the campaign, according to three sources familiar with the investigation. Two of these sources, however, cautioned that the evidence is not conclusive.

A secret order authorized by the court that handles the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) began after Manafort became the subject of an FBI investigation that began in 2014. It centered on work done by a group of Washington consulting firms for Ukraine's former ruling party, the sources told CNN.
The surveillance was discontinued at some point last year for lack of evidence, according to one of the sources.

It is unclear when the new warrant started. The FBI interest deepened last fall because of intercepted communications between Manafort and suspected Russian operatives, and among the Russians themselves, that reignited their interest in Manafort, the sources told CNN. As part of the FISA warrant, CNN has learned that earlier this year, the FBI conducted a search of a storage facility belonging to Manafort. It's not known what they found.

It's unclear whether Trump himself was picked up on the surveillance.


The FBI wasn't listening in June 2016, the sources said, when Donald Trump Jr. led a meeting that included Manafort, then campaign chairman, and Jared Kushner, the President's son-in-law, with a Russian lawyer who had promised negative information on Hillary Clinton.

As Manafort took the reins as Trump campaign chairman in May, the FBI surveillance technicians were no longer listening. The fact he was part of the campaign didn't play a role in the discontinued monitoring, sources told CNN. It was the lack of evidence relating to the Ukraine investigation that prompted the FBI to pull back.

The Justice Department and the FBI have denied that Trump's own "wires" were tapped.

While Manafort has a residence in Trump Tower, it's unclear whether FBI surveillance of him took place there.

Revisiting Trump’s Wiretap Tweets
http://www.factcheck.org/2017/09/revisi ... ap-tweets/

Here’s why Nunes’ “new evidence” in March and CNN’s story in September do not support the president’s tweets:

There is still no evidence that Obama ordered wiretapping of Trump or Trump Tower. Trump misrepresented the process in his tweets. Under the law, the Justice Department and FBI submit a request to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, known as the FISA court, which authorizes the wiretapping. Obama would have no role in requesting or approving a wiretap. The CNN story said that the Justice Department and FBI obtained a FISA court order to conduct surveillance of Manafort – not Trump. And there’s no evidence that even Manafort was wiretapped while at Trump Tower. The CNN story said, “While Manafort has a residence in Trump Tower, it’s unclear whether FBI surveillance of him took place there.”

There is no evidence that any of Trump’s conversations were picked up by the FBI, but if they were that would have been “incidental collection” of information. Nunes said in March that he reviewed “intelligence reports” that show “incidental collection” on some unnamed Trump transition team members. Nunes said he did not know if any of Trump’s conversations were picked up during surveillance. The CNN story also said, “It’s unclear whether Trump himself was picked up on the surveillance.”

Incidental collection of information is legal with a FISA court order. Trump claimed that Obama was responsible for illegal Watergate-style wiretapping, but CNN wrote that the FISA court authorized the wiretapping of Manafort. That would make the incidental collection of information on Trump, or anyone else, perfectly legal. Nunes made the same point in March.

We don’t know exactly when the alleged wiretapping of Manafort occurred. The CNN story said there were two instances when the FBI obtained a FISA warrant. The first was in 2014, before Manafort joined the Trump campaign. But CNN said that “it is unclear when the new warrant started.” Did it occur while Manafort was a member of the Trump campaign team? Did it occur during “the very sacred election process,” as Trump tweeted? We don’t know.

There is still much that we don’t know about the ongoing federal investigation into Russia and the Trump campaign. It may be that Manafort — as CNN reported — was the target of a court-ordered wiretap. It may even turn out that Trump was inadvertently picked up if he spoke to Manafort when the court order was in place.

But there is no evidence to support Trump’s tweets accusing Obama of illegally wiretapping his phones. That was the case in March, and it remains so. However, we will continue to monitor developments and provide updates when necessary.

So, is CNN fake news now?

LMFAO, you misunderstood what CNN reported.

You do know that the FBI has been watching Trump Tower hijinks for years right?

The FBI did wiretap Trump Tower to monitor Russian activity, but it had nothing to do with the 2016 Presidential election, it has been reported.

Between 2011 and 2013 the Bureau had a warrant to spy on a high-level criminal Russian money-laundering ring, which operated in unit 63A of the iconic skyscraper — three floors below Mr Trump's penthouse.

The investigation led to the indictment of more than 30 people, including alleged mafia boss Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov, according to ABC News.

Also, Manafort has owned an apartment in Trump Tower for almost three years and he's definitely been on the radar. Remember, he owned that apartment for a year and a half before he became the campaign manager.

It would probably be all one way just like a "real" flame war between Dym and Stoner would be. Dym and Trump on the losing side of course.

LMFAO, and tax reform is 10x harder than health care reform.

A friend of mine and I were talking about the Trump stuff over dinner, and we were discussing the notion that's been floated out there about how Mueller may already have a lot of what he needs on Trump and that he's just meticulously putting it together to make it airtight. My friend made the interesting contention that if it seemed like Mueller was really close to nailing him, Trump might just flee the country in secret with his family and then be tried in absentia. I guess sort of like what De Niro does to his girlfriend at the end of "Heat," just cuts bait to protect himself.

An interesting thought. The Kaepernick stuff made us both remember that Trump is essentially a coward, and running from consequence would not be beneath him.
