Trump to Merkel: "At least we have something in common"

Posted: Mar 18, 2017

Good line. Everyone in the room laughed. They all got it instantly. I also read in the German papers and they were incredibly flummoxed about how to treat the statement. On the one-hand they found it funny, on the other they thought that Trump was “being mean to the establishment.” Either way it was brilliant to plant that comparison. Germans are very suspicious of the surveillance-state.;

Love it! Thanks for posting this. - NM

I had to explain to my mom that Obama wiretapped - Merkel's phone. Then she started

Countries all spy on each other - Resist Trump

but Obama did not wiretap Trump Tower.

Yes he did and Trump is brave enough to expose it. - Brilliant move on the part of Pres. Trump.

The Bamster was caught spying on Merkel.

That forces the media to reference that fact in their latest stories of “no evidence” outrage against the President.

This is going to be epic.

No he didn't - sm

absolutely bogus. The "trumpster" (my God the immaturity of trump fans...) No proof whatsoever, backtracking so much he's tripping over his own lying words. How anyone could be proud about voting for this lying joke is just beyond me. What WILL be epic, however, is when trump's Russian ties are finally revealed. Yes, THAT will be epic.

Waiting and hoping - Resist Trump

for the Russian connection to become public. Want to see the entire administration go down in flames.

There is absolute NO evidence to support his claim - old and burned out

[ In Reply To ..]
yet you continue to believe the lying con man who is just trying to divert attention from the Russian dealings. I suppose you will never believe the truth.

Yep, I totally agree with you but... - YOUR proof is what? - sm

Has anyone published anything that shows they were actually targeting Russians and not Trump? I'm talking documentation here. Court orders. FISA warrants, etc. Those must all be in place before any "wiretapping" can happen.

What we have seen are a bunch of politicians telling stories about each other and the media reporting one side as fact, while asking the other side for proof.

I don't trust the media about anything. But if I was inclined to believe their story, that means someone in government had to transcribe the recordings they have. It's illegal to capture an American citizen's conversation in a foreign wiretap, unless you have a warrant on the American. Someone had to give the order to find out who the Russian was speaking with (not illegal). Once they knew it was an American, someone had to give the order to preserve the recording (illegal), to transcribe the recording (illegal), and then release the recording (illegal). Who did all that?

Don't forget the "wiretap" story in the New York Times was published the day before Trump's inauguration.

I can't decide if Trump is a genius or an idiot. There haven't been any more leaks since his wiretap tweet. He must have scared whoever was leaking. Maybe his purpose is already served.

He's a giant ego trolling the media/liberals. He loves seeing them ask him for proof. They know they ran the stories on him and the Russians without any proof. Are they really criticizing him for making statements he can't back up?

Now that I think about it, it's pretty funny actually.

If all countries spy on each other, it would be easy to - spy on a political opponent.

Minored in political science, so you can believe this: Fascism is NOT and never has been a conservative philosophy. It is a philosophy from which LIBERALISM is directly descended. Fascism exalts the value of the COLLECTIVE ("society") over the value of the INDIVIDUAL, and this is directly in line with liberal values, not conservative. I'm sorry, liberals, but it's true: Hitler was a leftist. Musolini was a leftist. By NO MEANS did either of them espouse ...

By LINDSEY TANNER 04/18/11 06:28 AM ET CHICAGO -- Suicide attempts by gay teens – and even straight kids – are more common in politically conservative areas where schools don't have programs supporting gay rights, a study involving nearly 32,000 high school students found. Those factors raised the odds and were a substantial influence on suicide attempts even when known risk contributors like depression and being bul ...

What are your thoughts on Michelle inviting Common to the White House? I don't know the guy and know nothing about rappers, but from what I'm hearing, this is causing a big stink. I can't figure out why she would invite such a controversial person. Even though it's 2011, we're still litigating whether rap music in and of itself is a societal corrosive or an artistic expression that channels raw experience and expurgates emotions in the form of a catharsis.
