JUST IN: Trump says his accusations of Obama wiretapping were based "on a little bit of a hunch" http://hill.cm/Q7h7JL4

Tweeted by thehill on April 26, 2019 at 2:22 AM

> "Now I understand why, because they thought two years ago when I said that just on a little bit of a hunch and a little bit of wisdom maybe, it blew up because they thought maybe I was wise to them," Trump continued. "Or they were caught. And that’s why. If they weren’t doing anything wrong it would've just gotten by, nobody would’ve cared about it."

funny how that last quote explains all his bitching about the Mueller Probe

Question: "How does it feel to be the front runner?" Joe Biden: "I tell you what, the issue is going to be who -- not only who can win this but who's the best person to lead the country and that's what it's going to be all about. It's going to be the voters to decide that." https://t.co/kKUHmYqq0d

This man has been arrested by police after allegedly scuffling with a female reporter and photographer covering a press conference held by controversial far-right Senator Fraser Anning http://bit.ly/2voU21I

for christ sake this guy has the worst supporters

> Some of the supporters took a dislike to the line of questioning [Eliza Barr] took with Senator Anning.

When the conference ended they proceeded to follow her out of the park.

When the News Corp photographer moved in front of Barr and photographed the Senator Anning supporters, he was allegedly attacked.

@TimStone how is he the front runner? he just announced

7:31 AM

@GodEmperorDune Biden has been rumoured to want to run for a long time, he only just confirmed it and immediately shot way up in the rankings because he stands a good chance of beating Trump

People know him, he was VP under Obama and longtime Rhode Island senator

@GodEmperorDune If you listen to Nate Silver he's supposedly an underdog, which also seems…not…right 🤔

@TimStone Biden is leading in the endorsement race. I'm sure Nate will change his tune when he reads his own site.

I think he was already Very Online about this on Twitter

For whatever reason

god dammit

it's his turn yass king

we're all going to die

they haven't learned

it was russia's fault anyway

so it wasn't anybody's fault

kill me

"oh now that everyone knows that trump is horrible, they'll totally not vote for him this time" - the dnc (x∞)

@TimStone I think the name recognition is doing a lot of work, along with early 2010s The Onion, but I'm, hoping the candidate who is actively "fuck millenials", wrote the 1994 crime bill, etc will just not have non-establishment or non-republican support

because he will lose by 538 electoral votes

if nominated

there's not a doubt in my mind

there's a very short list of "people I won't be mad about being the nominee" (like 3) but joe is at the top of the list of "people I would be mad about being the nominee"

1:04 PM

@Unionhawk I go the other way, I think he'd probably win but not for any reason that would be a redeeming quality of the electorate

Better things aren't possible being an acceptable result of checking a box on a Tuesday in November for a lot of people

idk we saw the flip side of that in 2016, that being not good enough to bother

I'm not sure that's true, those type of people actively hate Clinton in a way they don't with Biden despite like, having all sorts of reasons to?

It might be slightly more difficult given Trump's actions while in office, but I still think it's far too easy for Biden to be pulled into the same "well, they're really just equally terrible" trap that happened in 2016.

Everything is really, really dumb, is the gist

@TimStone The missing part is iron.

I could've sworn that SE supported partial Markdown.

1:10 PM

@Yuuki right, it's the guy in office now, or the guy who somehow managed to be on the wrong side of history in everything in his entire senate career

which is honestly incredible

Oh yeah, it's for everything not strikethrough.

I keep forgetting.

The important part of history is to ignore it completely and never learn from your mistakes

whatever america's coming back like we used to be or whatever

awoouu

@TimStone I mean, I think that's what "Make America Great Again" means.

Counterpoint Again acknowledges that the past exists, which it certainly does not!

Anyway we should definitely not elect Biden, obviously

1:13 PM

@TimStone I mean, that's a distant second to "we should not nominate Biden".

Actually a third, given that the definite number one is "we should not elect Trump (again)".

That was more what I meant, right

Biden shouldn't even be running and it's crazy he thought he should

Like with all of the options for "uninspiring" already in the race

I mean, it's not crazy that he thinks he should.

It's crazy anyone wants to run for President tbh

After all, the part of the core definition of privilege is an inability to read the room.

Honest question: out of the 20 current candidates, is there anyone who TRULY stands out to you as "yeah, they're good president material"?

@Nzall Giant Meteor.

@Nzall my list of "won't be mad" is Gravel, Sanders, Warren, but "won't be mad" is the best I can say about any of those 3

1:22 PM

@Yuuki Meh, I think after 4 years of Trump, the world has had enough destructive presidencies

and only 2 of those have like, any chance

which is fine

user15026

@Nzall you'd be surprised...

@TimStone yeah I have a strong distrust of anyone who seeks power

Kevin

@Yuuki Giant Meteor for eternal 2016's second president!

Also, do you guys think the Impeachment stands a chance at all? Like, they need to convince like a dozen Republicans of joining their side

1:24 PM

no

because they also need to convince several dozen democrats to do the thing

which won't happen either

Broke: The Mueller Report is an urge to Impeach 45;

My understanding is that The Discourse is quite dumb today and we will have no part in it

When Tucker Carlson was losing advertisers & Jeanine Pirro was suspended for her anti-Muslim comments, Trump personally called Rupert Murdoch to pressure him to stand with the incendiary hosts. Murdoch then pressured executives to the President's liking. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/04/fox-and-friends-will-be-next-lachlan-murdoch-is-in-a-trump-trap?verso=true#~o

@Unionhawk Okay I've reversed my position

is this about his 404 page featuring him with an ice cream cone and a spoon because I can not stop thinking about that image

wait

maps.google.com

I mean,

wait I'm dumb but even more no

3:30 PM

It checks out geographically it's just that it's really the opposite

So now he lost Pennsylvania

My brain autocorrected it to be reversed which at least kind of makes sense

Philly will accept New Castle County being a suburb of Philly but not the other way around, that simply would not stand

I'm not sure that checks out even, but it's at least closer

like, from what I can tell that would be like saying Dayton is a suburb of Cincinnati

that sounds awful, thanks

@Nzall Late reply, but for the most part, I'm incredibly cynical about politics. I don't vote for who I think will do a good job; none of them will. I vote for who I think will do the least damage.

@GodEmperorDune Because they've been including him in all the polls.

@TimStone Not sure what source you saw but Biden's in tier 1 I believe with Harris

@Yuuki You needed a space in there

4:15 PM

You wouldn't download a car: rare arcade machine ROM data supposedly stolen by shady tech

@MBraedley Nate literally wrote a "Why he's pretty much the front runner article" so

Easier to get mad about people being dumb on Twitter if you just say that

Also easier to have good mental health if you just skip the hellsite i dunno :P

@puzzlepiece87 You don't need a space for other Markdown styles like italics or bold, I don't think.

It's specifically strikethrough that works differently.

strike-through is special

puzzlepiece87

@Yuuki Ah, that's weird.

4:32 PM

@TimStone plastic straws?? Lol?

That's not a gun issue

😅

Plastic straws -> environment -> hippies -> those durn liberals

I mean, trucks isn't a gun issue either.

5:55 PM

True I guess but that's something I'm less surprised the NRA cares about

6:18 PM

They follow the same logic though. Trucks -> environment -> hippies -> those durn liberals

Oh I didn't realize Carl got banned again

good

Just incredibly galaxy brained to think that if Twitter actually bothered to do something about you they'd be beaten by a technicality they were just using as an excuse elsewhere

supporters are claiming that the official accounts were not run by the banned people and therefore its not ban evasion

do you think they probably did @verified I am a politician and that's why they even noticed lol

It would not surprise me a single bit

oh dang they must have done a batch of ban evasion bans
