    Kind of an interesting place to be in, China joining our press in calling Trump out on his Twitter lies.

    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...lternative-universe-china-daily-idUSKCN1LG04M

    SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Twitter comments by U.S. President Donald Trump accusing China of hacking former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s email server are an attempt to cast China as a “scapegoat”, the official China Daily said in an editorial Friday.

    The strongly worded editorial also took aim at Trump directly, commenting: “To the thinking person, there are few things more disconcerting than a tweet by the U.S. president as they initially seem to accord to reality but then quickly turn into messages from some alternative universe.”

    Trump said on Twitter on Wednesday that China hacked the emails of 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton but did not offer any evidence or further information.

    China’s foreign ministry has denied Trump’s allegation and the editorial accused him of “smearing China’s image as he desperately needs a scapegoat in the run-up to the midterm elections, so he can divert public attention from the troubles the White House has become mired in”.

    Trump is empowering village idiots the world over. It's not just a domestic thing. Bush got the ball rolling even if he looks like a Rhodes scholar now compared to Trump. I wonder how much the Republican party will let their next presidential candidate devolve things. Eventually it's just going to be a guy on stage making fart sounds with their wet hands, to thunderous applause and flag waving.

    People seem to forget that it's not just the liberal Americans that are intelligent. There are also smart people in other parts of the world that recognize what's going on.

    Trump has at least managed to outdo the satirical prediction of the presidency in the film Idiocracy. I know I was reminded of that while watching the spectacle of stupidity that was the 2016 campaign.



    The way President Comacho speaks is actually the way Trump speaks. Satire truly has become reality.

    So, once again the cries of Trump lies, when he tweets what a report from the ICIG states. So, are you now saying an intelligence agency is lying?

    China should send their anti-Trump announcements through their agent Feinstein.

    We've all learned this by now:

    If the media reports something and especially if it's negative for Trump and whether it's true or not, then it's "Fake News"

    If Trump twitters a bit, no matter who or what and whether or not true, then these are "Alternative Facts and Truths"!

    Therefore, ... :-D

    So the far left is so needing of material to bash the President and half the voting populace they embrace competitors of our country on economical, geopolitical and military levels... Did anyone think to ask themselves would it be beneficial for China to hack Hillarys emails? Did anyone read the stories where the President obtained his concerns? Pretty detailed and multiple sources via the ICIG report? Very interesting actually. FBI already claiming it was Russia sure does kinda rule out them being unbiased eh? What a cluster fk the DOJ and FBI have gotten themselves into

    Hahaha I spit my coffee all over my phone thanks to this one... Whew.. Liberals Intelligent.. Haha.. Oh the Chinese are but not for the reasons you think. Why shouldn't they take advantage of our leftist media meltdown? But for that your opinion is full of win. Haha please tell us what's going on? The President didn't make this up out of thin air you know and the FBI discounting it means squat. They have zero credibility atm.

    Epic thread in the making here. Whew I have tears in my eyes from laughing. TGIF :)

    FBI just debunk Trump Twitter, seem Trump got his news from one of those fake conspiracy magazine rather than use US intel such as FBI/CIA/NSA.

    So rather than believe President Trumps tweet about the findings of our own Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG), you had rather stay cozy with unsubstantiated left wing media allegations and communist China propaganda. Great decision.

    I know you think, hear and say what you want. But the FBI hasn't debunked anything. Someone in the FBI said they haven't found any such evidence. But it's after the fact and after manipulation of the server by who knows who. And Trump wasn't referring to an FBI report. He was referring to a 2015 ICIG report which is a matter of record. That's an indisputable fact.

    I would be honored if the FBI said I lied after their leadership were exposed.

    And it's statements like that which cause divides. Congratulations on being a cause.

    So, if someone isn't a Republican, nor a Trump supporter, but isn't a liberal, are they allow to be intelligent?

    David Stockman who was Reagans Budget Director just interviewed on Bloomberg regarding NAFTA said that tyhere was nothing wrong with NAFTA before the administration got involved.He described Dirty Donald as a Neanderthal and and an ignoramus when it comes to trade and tariffs.He pointed out the $16.00 hourly pay which Dirty Donald insisted must be paid to MEXICAN autoworkers only hurts American consumers and does nothing to help American workers,and who will be the auditor and arbiter deciding the country of origin of parts content of each new vehicle,and how much does that add to the cost of each vehicle.All Dirty Donalds actions are doing is driving costs up, with no gain for Americas workers.
