If it was written in a clean and concise, you'd think something was up. Such is the level of the bar

It's a copy of one of his tweets just made into a press release style jpg.

It's a twitter bot that takes Trump's tweets and formats them like an official WH announcement. It saves having to follow Trump's account.

Of course he does, imagine if the Mueller report was released with a responsible AG at the helm?
I would say that Barr is realising the attritional effect of constantly backing Trump and decided enough is enough

That Washington Post article says that Trump and Barr are still on good terms. I'll give it two weeks before Barr is "hopelessly out of his depth" and removed for someone like Matt Gaetz or Devin Nunez.

I believe it is technically correct to call them an official announcement

PS - good to see he is still reading the Washington Post. He is a hypocrite in every single thing that he does

"For immediate release"?...he's not been locked up yet

Interesting thread that neatly summarises just how much sh1t Giuliani is in and to what lengths he went to try and create a cover story for his plotting.

(Its from Laura Rozen)

I like the part where Mike Pompeo references Rudy as being "way out there". He has to have put up a firewall between him and Rudy after the "I was directed by state" text. Rudy is the Presidents personal attorney, no one should swallow the line that in that job he was taking instructions from State on matters concerning his client unless he's a total dip****.

On an aside, I didn't know that MP is a West Point commissioned graduate who served in the US Army [armour] before going on to CIA etc. It's unlikely that he's an out and out Trumpist, more a career-minded person.

Alas, both those statements can be true.

I find the worrying aspect about it is that while you can accept it's a clever, funny way to frame his tweets, you can also totally believe that the WH pressroom could release this stuff.

I give it a week before we hear "Barr has Trump's full confidence" the old Trumpy swamphire backstab twostep we've come to recognize.

In case we were wondering, the WH staff was distracted at the time that Amb. Taylor wanted to discuss the release of aid to Ukraine, during the summer. Because the staff were busy dealing with the "proposed" purchase of Greenland. Glad to see our crack WH setting the appropriate priorities.

Bolton is apparently a no-show for his testimony, as expected.

The more you read about Trump and his administration and the more you realise what a pack of absolute sewer rats they are. They genuinely don't care about trampling over the entire US governmental system. I literally can't wait for these public hearings and the inevitable meltdown.

Trump fined $2M for violating NY charities laws

On a side-issue to the ruling, seeing as Don's been fined for violating NY charity laws, does it involve the running of the charity and/or Don donating to it? If it involves Don donating personal funds or property to the charity, I'm supposing that he won't have forgotten to claim back on income taxes as a result. Is there a tax lawyer in the house who can tell me if the ruling may indicate there is a chance that Don may have improperly defaulted on paying tax on income which he gave to the charity?

Edit. I heard later that he had actually been ordered to make the $2 million a donation to some actual charity.

You post fake video clips of Trump being dissed and now you're posting fake White House press statements??

Well, suppose it fits in with the democrat theme I guess, what with their fake Russian/Ukrainian sourced dossiers and fictitious versions of Trump's phone call being read into congressional record and all.

When the truth won't do, sure what choice do they have left but to make shit up.

Anyway, I'll stick with the truth myself, effective and all as lies sadly seem to be, I feel it's best that way ....

Just seeing today that the lawyer of the "whistleblower" seems to be quite an honest person though, in his downtime at least:

A "Coup" is how he referred to what was to come, and let's be honest, isn't that precisely what this all is and has been since election night.

Well, an attempted coup, at least - not a chance it'll get past the Senate. Dismissal would be my call.

CNN showing the opinion divide existing an the US population on Don. 6 women on a guest panel were asked, by a show of hands, if Don was right on the Ukraine request. One, when asked why she was a Yea, replied that as Don was the president, he had the right to ask for military information.

When a question was put to the panel if Don was right in his I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose one voter" quote and a showing of hands was asked for Yea or Nay, the woman was a Yea. Asked why, she said she'd ask Don why he shot the person.

It's fine believe what you want to believe from the propaganda machine. But have a bit of honesty with yourself, even in here it is has already been discussed that the tweets come from a twitter account that makes his tweets look like press releases - it's ****ing clearly satire. It's so clear that you can only be dishonest to pretend otherwise.

And the **** about the congressional record, is clearly paraphrasing. Like if I said 'Outlaw Pete vomited all over his keyboard' I'd clearly be actually critiquing the quality of content not saying that I saw someone throw up on their keyboard. Again, it takes actual dishonesty to paint paraphrasing as someone trying to say that something is verbatim when it isn't. Full on dishonesty, there's no grey area there.

Yet again, imagine if Obama had scammed a charity. Never mind the whole porn star thing. The Republican party has been destroyed by Trump, they just don't know it yet.

Dis-ingenuity won't conceal the coup referred to is what Don is trying to pull with his attempts to subvert the US constitution and the response would be a rebellion against his actions by way of his legal impeachment under the constitution, the truth of which you seem determined to ignore.

The video purported to show Trump being left hanging showed Trump being left hanging. There was nothing there about being "dissed" or whatever the young people are saying these days.


As for the "fake" press releases, I'm not sure what to tell you. I think I'll leave you in the dark on that one because your ignorance here is good for a laugh.


The rest of your post looks like the output of an AI forced to read QAnon tweets so I'll leave you to it.

Plus I'm pretty sure that tweets from Trump were declared as official White House statements, so even if it's a fake "press release" format, it doesn't change the fact that its official statements from the POTUS

According to George Kent's testimony, John Solomon was writing horsesh!t that he was getting from Lutsenko.



You'd have to wonder how people are still so gullible to think that he has any credibility. It reminds me of that Jim Hickman, ex military, QAnon follower dude who went viral and even had his allegation against Colonel Vindman spread on this site.

How can you call Shapiro "Alt-right" when he's a jew who got the most anti-semitic abuse by any individual in 2016 on twitter when he publicly said he wouldn't vote for Trump. He left as a main editor for breitbart over clashes with the campaign as a matter of principle. Everything he says in that clip you posted is spot on.

If you want to make a point drop the name calling.
