There are clear lines of people going back six blocks. Just not very obvious judging by the photo.
 
'Trump rally plus yard sale'
 
Putin must be thinking why he got involved with the likes of Stone, Manafort and Page. These traitors are clearly bricking it and one trip to a CIA black site would make them spill the beans on everything.

Just put them in a room, with a bucket of water and they will crack within 5.
The irony would burst out of the room if it was Trump's people who ended up getting water boarded
 
I'd imagine Obama would welcome this investigation, I'd also imagine congress will reject it to avoid a precedent being set.
Yeah, that is the problem Trump faces: unified unwillingness to open a can of worms potentially affecting both past & future administrations.

Blind fold them and use this:

I'd love to know how Stone has reached the age of 120 or whatever he is without someone taking his head off his shoulders, because that is not a one off, that is a man comfortable with that language.
 
They are talking about it as if we do not know the President cannot order that kind of surveillance by himself.

Interestingly enough, Bush could via the patriot act, but Obama introduced new legislation to reduce presidential powers in that regard.
 


3. Hope everyone forgets you said it in the first place

Sad thing is it probably works.

It's the "big lie" principle.

It plants a seed and that seed grows. 1-2 years from now you'll have Trumpites speaking of Obama's wire taps like they're facts that were confirmed by the press, congress, etc.

It's exactly the same thing Trump did with the birth certificate.

Its no different than what he did throughout the entire build up to the election. Say something that is completely untrue, double down on it and then ignore questions about it until people forget or he moves the subject on to the next thing he makes up and lies about. And yes, it did work nearly every single time. You have seen from the handful of Trump supporters in this forum, nothing he says matters, they either don't care or think he doesn't mean it, but it's all ok because at least he isn't a Democrat and especially because he's not Hillary.

So how does the Press combat this manipulation?

Easy for you to say, langy - I've just been shot by Ted Cruz's dad.

I never thought the leader of the free world would be using the same argument technique as "that guy in the office I always argue with, who doubles down when you point out to them you can see exactly what they're trying to do". Depressing.
 
I knew his presidency would be a car crash, but the speed at which this has turned into a farce is incredible.

Yes, that's exactly what he is trying to do here.

Obama is living rent-free in Trump's mind. Anything that happens from now on will be on Obama...

I actually saw this coming. All the indications were there.

Following his speech this week, I told a friend something simple "just wait 24-48 hours", and here we are.
 
He needs to be fairly careful about drawing Obama back into the thick of things.
 
Propaganda masters at play in this administration. Is this anything similar to the early days of Hitler's propaganda mission? Right-wing radio and websites and Fox News have pushed propaganda for years. I'm sure many politicians practice it as some level but are we witnessing the true pulling of strings from a propaganda minister (Bannon?)?

“It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas and disguise.”

“The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.”

Joseph Goebbels
 
So how does the Press combat this manipulation?

Well a couple of ways, first whenever they are at a press conference they must all work together and when one person asks a question that is avoided, then the next person must ask the exact same one until it gets answered. They must also continue to call the administration out on their lies and fact check everything, and finally if like recently, a private press conference is called and certain publications are excluded, then they must all stand together and all leave. They have been doing a bit of this and it has been making a difference, albeit a small one, but it's still having an effect. Standing together is the only way to beat this lot, and recently all have struggled when called out on their lies. KellyAnne has been shunned by certain media outlets, Spicer struggled when questioned by a unified press group and so did Trump. Also as suggested by others, they all have to work together on stories, especially If it's big stories, the same way they all did for the Panama papers. Something like this is too big for one organisation to cope with and investigate on their own.
