Right, which I answered by saying, "No, they aren't, they're just low information or spoon fed from Fox." ....

And speaking of that. I've been switching between Fox, CNN and MSNBC for a while. Given they repeat the news about one or three times an hour you see the same "breaking news":rolleyes: on each station. If you are watching Fox it's like watching opposite world, literally.
 
Trump tweets

"Not surprisingly, the GREAT Men & Women of the FBI are starting to speak out against Comey, McCabe and all of the political corruption and poor leadership found within the top ranks of the FBI. Comey was a terrible and corrupt leader who inflicted great pain on the FBI! #SPYGATE"
 
My favourite part of Starsky and Hutch was when they went undercover to investigate a crime and then, when they caught the criminal red-handed, he said “You were spying on me!” so Captain Dobey told them to drop all the charges and let them go.
 
Reporting after the Congressional briefing of Nunes et al today:

MSNBC and CNN: there were no spies, the FBI was looking at Russians interfering in the election, including using an informant while investigating members of Trump campaign who had contact with Russians.

The Clintons were pissed as hell that none of this investigation came out before the election. IOW, how could this have possibly been something to get Trump when the FBI actually protected Trump?

Upside down world, Fox News: Spygate blah blah blah, Nunes announced the same conclusions he had already drawn up before the meeting (prove him wrong, the meeting was secret).


In the meantime, Nunes' fund-raising is scoring big payments, more than a couple million.

That's a statement, not a question.

Questions are easy to spot. They have question marks after them.

Some questions are less easy to spot, but you can usually work out what they are by adding a question mark to the end of a sentence and seeing if it reads like a question would.

If you add a question mark to the end of the statement "It will be interesting to see what he gets." it still does not read like a question.

Do you see how this works?

My point is that I think there's a high likelihood that the polling percent is high, not because people are ignorant or willfully delusional, but because they're answering a different question than what is asked.

Your argument is that they just might be a different kind of stupid? Uhh... okay.

I hate the orange menace more and more each and every day.
 
Back to spies for Trump

" The Democrats are now alluding to the the concept that having an Informant placed in an opposing party’s campaign is different than having a Spy, as illegal as that may be. But what about an “Informant” who is paid a fortune and who “sets up” way earlier than the Russian Hoax?"

" “Everyone knows there was a Spy, and in fact the people who were involved in the Spying are admitting that there was a Spy...Widespread Spying involving multiple people.” Mollie Hemingway, The Federalist Senior Editor But the corrupt Mainstream Media hates this monster story!"

"Can anyone even imagine having Spies placed in a competing campaign, by the people and party in absolute power, for the sole purpose of political advantage and gain? And to think that the party in question, even with the expenditure of far more money, LOST!"
 
There's little that has happened in the last couple of years in US politics that has shocked me, but it's happened today. Here is a statement that Captain Swoop has quoted Trump as making: "And to think that the party in question, even with the expenditure of far more money, LOST!" I fact-checked it and, you know what? It's actually true. There was more money spent on the Clinton campaign than on the Trump campaign. I'm so used to the blanket, pointless lying, that this really stands out.

That's because he didn't include the money spent by the networks covering him nonstop.

No. I think it likely that they're answering what they believe the *intent* of the question is, not the literal question itself. It's not uncommon. We've seen plenty of people here who will stick to what they think the intent of a politician's statement is regardless of what the actual words are. This isn't limited to any specific party, it's a trait of humans in general.

That doesn't make one "stupid". It merely makes one normal and not a pedant sucked into a semantic wormhole.

It may be worth noting that it also doesn't even try to include the decades of money and effort spent on very loud Clinton vilification by the GOP nationwide. Trump's procession of frequently much more real problematic behavior has been treated as more of a joke, on the other hand, and has nothing even remotely similar going on.
