The Donald Confirmed to be Putin's Manchurian Candidate

[DonDadda59]

Kurt Eichenwald continues his one man destruction of the Drumpf campaign. The Donald and his people have some 'splanin to do...



DEAR DONALD TRUMP AND VLADIMIR PUTIN, I AM NOT SIDNEY BLUMENTHAL

...

At a rally in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, Trump spoke while holding a document in his hand. He told the assembled crowd that it was an email from Blumenthal, whom he called “sleazy Sidney.”

“This just came out a little while ago,’’ Trump said. “I have to tell you this.” And then he read the words from my article.

“He’s now admitting they could have done something about Benghazi,’’ Trump said, dropping the document to the floor. “This just came out a little while ago.”

The crowd booed and chanted, “Lock her up!”

This is not funny. It is terrifying. The Russians engage in a sloppy disinformation effort and, before the day is out, the Republican nominee for president is standing on a stage reciting the manufactured story as truth. How did this happen? Who in the Trump campaign was feeding him falsehoods straight from the Kremlin? (The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment).

The Russians have been obtaining American emails and now are presenting complete misrepresentations of them—falsifying them—in hopes of setting off a cascade of events that might change the outcome of the presidential election. The big question, of course, is why are the Russians working so hard to damage Clinton and, in the process, aid Donald Trump? That is a topic for another time.

For now, though, Americans should be outraged. This totalitarian regime, engaged in what are arguably war crimes in Syria to protect their government puppet, is working to upend a democracy to the benefit of an American candidate who uttered positive comments just Sunday about the Kremlin's campaign on behalf of Bashar al-Assad. Trump’s arguments were an incomprehensible explication of the complex Syrian situation, which put him right on the side of the Iranians and Syrians who are fighting to preserve the government that is the primary conduit of weapons used against Israel.

So no, Mr. Putin, I’m not Sidney Blumenthal. And now that you have been exposed once again, get the hell out of our election. And Mr. Trump—you have some explaining to do.

Kurt Eichenwald ‏@kurteichenwald 11h11 hours ago
I like my Russian propaganda the old-fashioned way - uttered by Moscow, not by the GOP nominee for President

Kurt Eichenwald ‏@kurteichenwald 11h11 hours ago
The Trump tapes are horrible. But that Trump obtained Russian disinformation and recited it as fact is terrifying.

Kurt Eichenwald ‏@kurteichenwald 11h11 hours ago
Russia govnt falsified an email. Then Trump recited the falsified email at a rally. Only those two knew it. How?

Kurt Eichenwald ‏@kurteichenwald 12h12 hours ago
The Putin/Trump connection. One manufactures disinformation, w/in hours, the second is reading it at campaign rally.

Karoli ‏@Karoli 12h12 hours ago
So basically Trump and Sputnik had the same set of incorrect facts. Only them. Only Trump and a Russian propaganda outlet. Let it sink in



Drumpfsters... Care to take a crack at this? :confusedshrug:

Actually Donald was supposed to be Hillarys Manchurian Candidate... but it seems that things didnt really go as planned

http://observer.com/2016/10/wikileaks-reveals-dnc-elevated-trump-to-help-clinton/


In June 2015, Donald Trump announced his presidential campaign.

According to an email from Marissa Astor, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook’s assistant, to Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, the campaign knew Trump was going to run, and pushed his legitimacy as a candidate. WikiLeaks’ release shows that it was seen as in Clinton’s best interest to run against Trump in the general election. The memo, sent to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) also reveals the DNC and Clinton campaign were strategizing on behalf of their candidate at the very beginning of the primaries. “We think our goals mirror those of the DNC,” stated the memo, attached to the email under the title “muddying the waters.”

The memo named Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz, and Ben Carson as wanted candidates. “We need to be elevating the Pied Piper candidates so that they are leaders of the pack and tell the press to them seriously,” the memo noted.

Clinton was widely presumed to be the Democratic presidential nominee long before the primaries began. This assumption was held by the mainstream media and the Democratic Party leadership. Expecting Clinton to be the nominee, the DNC and Clinton campaign developed strategies for the general election.

In June, hacker Guccifer 2.0 released an opposition research dossier on Trump, dated December 19, 2015. Coincidentally, no other opposition research dossiers were released by Guccifer 2.0 from the DNC hacks.

It was in the best interest of Clinton, and therefore the Democratic Party, that Trump was the Republican presidential nominee. Polls indicated Sen. Rubio, Gov. Kasich, or almost any other establishment Republican would likely beat Clinton in a general election. Even Cruz, who is reviled by most Republicans, would still maintain the ability to rally the Republican Party—especially its wealthy donors—around his candidacy. Clinton and Democrats expected the FBI investigation into her private email server would serve as a major obstacle to Clinton’s candidacy, and the public’s familiarity with her scandals and flip-flopping political record put her at a disadvantage against a newcomer. Donald Trump solved these problems.

All the Clinton campaign had to do was push the mainstream media in the general direction of covering and attacking Trump as though he was the star of the Republican presidential primaries. As the presumed Democratic nominee, whomever she decided to dignify by responding to—whether the comments were directed at her or not—would be presumed to be the spokesperson, or nominee, of the Republican Party.

“Clinton, Trump trade insults as rhetoric heats up between front-runners,” read the headline from a CNN article in September 2015. “Hillary Clinton Seizes On Donald Trump’s Remarks to Galvanize Women,” read a New York Times headline from December. Several media outlets criticized the mainstream media obsession with Trump, but despite a few concerns that the media was propping up his legitimacy as a candidate with their constant news coverage, it continued unabatedly.

The mainstream media was more than willing to do the Clinton campaign and DNC’s work for them by creating a narrative that the 2016 presidential elections was about Hillary Clinton vs. Donald Trump.

Jeb Bush, the initial Republican frontrunner, assumed what should have been Trump’s role as the Republican Primary novelty sideshow. Sen. Bernie Sanders was blacked out of media coverage, and during the rare instances when he was discussed in mainstream media reporting, it was always under the pretenses that his candidacy was a pipe dream. The media gave Clinton what she wanted; impunity for the corruption, lies, and deceitfulness rampant in her political record, and an opponent who divided his own political party while driving fear and anxiety into her own to the point where enough Democrats and voters would gladly vote for her just to avoid Trump becoming president.

Several thousand lies and failed projects later, the only thing Trump has going for him is his name. To which he has created this mythical fairy tale that the Trump name is synonymous with success. It is not.

Voting for Trump is a HUGE mistake.


#MakeDonaldDrumpfAgain


That's cause Trump is not a Conservative. So I'm doing what any true Conservative would do. Expose this guy as a fraud.


Trump is really a Liberal. He has more in common with Hillary than with Rubio or Cruz. He offends Rubio or Cruz more than he offends the enemy, Hillary Clinton. He's just a ginormous piece of shit. He may even sue me one day cause of this thread:lol


You clearly don't understand where Trump wants to go with libel laws against slander. That's the beginning of the end of Free Speech and the beginning of having a Tyrant-in-Chief.


I'm the only true Conservative here apparently.

Everyone will be affected by a Trump presidency. This man thinks he's infallible. He thinks the Trump name is prestigious with success and he really thinks he's a savior.

Hitler rose to power in the same way with the kind of fervor that you see from his supporters. Trump is running on pure emotion, but no substance. He has no plan. This is all just a ruse in order to extend his legacy all the way to the White House.


Trump will be a puppet President

Uh... What General Election have you been watching? If the plan was to run against the Donald because it was the surest way to the Oval Office, that plan is working like a goddamn charm.

You see the tweet diarrhea from the Donald this morning? Called Paul Ryan, the most powerful Republican in the US government, a weak and ineffective leader the day before voting in Ohio starts. :lol

[andgar923]

As stated before, this is all a show.

Hillary is supposed to win and Trump is the one handing her the keys to the white house. Bet ya ass that they'll be old chums once again in a year or two. Donald is simply a pawn to get the queen into the checkmate position.

Ya'll playing checkers while they've been playing us like chess the whole time.

So then you concede that the Clintons have been promoting Trump because they believe he is the easiest candidate to beat? Do you share their view that defeating mainstream jabronies like Jeb and Rubio would have been a big struggle for Hillary?

:oldlol:

To answer your question, I did not see the tweet diarrhea. I dont have a twitter and if I did I wouldnt waste my time reading what Trump has to say.

But it sounds like you should celebrate! I'm sure those new tweets attacking none other than beloved republican Paul Ryan will finally be the end of the trump campaign... just like the last set of tweets ended him...

And that after said manager joined the campaign, The Donald did a complete 180 on his Russia stance (http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/trump-manafort-ukraine-crimea-russia-226573) and they gutted the GOP Russia platform (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/trump-campaign-guts-gops-anti-russia-stance-on-ukraine/2016/07/18/98adb3b0-4cf3-11e6-a7d8-13d06b37f256_story.html?utm_term=.8a204c3e7d70)?

Are they "seemingly" doing that? Exactly what proof do you have that the Russian govt is helping trump?

I already know theres zero proof, but ill humor your stupid hypothetical anyway. If the russians actually were helping Trump, I dont think it would change my thought process at all. Do you have any idea how many foreign elections the US govt has meddled with? When the US influences a foreign election, are candidates that dont receive US support automatically the "good guys"?

Even if Russia was trying to promote Trump (a claim which has never been proven), I would still judge him based on who he is, rather than dismissing him simply because a foreign country likes him.

Now then, in your opinion why are gulf states like Saudi Arabia and Qatar seemingly working so hard to make Hillary president? Why did the Saudis donate so much money to Hillarys charity? Why does the UAE donate to Hillarys superpacs?

The Donald claimed on Sunday that it wasn't the Russians hacking solely Democratic party officials, even intimated that there was no hacking at all.

[INDENT]Trump Told Russia To Blame for Hacks Long Before Debate

During Sunday's debate, Donald Trump once again said he doesn't know whether Russia is trying to hack the U.S. election, despite Friday's statement by the U.S. intelligence community pointing the finger at Putin -- and despite the fact that Trump was personally briefed on Russia's role in the hacks by U.S. officials.

A senior U.S. intelligence official assured NBC News that cybersecurity and the Russian government's attempts to interfere in the 2016 election have been briefed to, and discussed extensively with, both parties' candidates, surrogates and leadership, since mid-August. "To profess not to know at this point is willful misrepresentation," said the official. "The intelligence community has walked a very thin line in not taking sides, but both candidates have all the information they need to be crystal clear."

On Sunday, Trump disputed the idea there was any hack at all. "I notice, anytime anything wrong happens, they like to say the Russians are

What should cause alarm in this situation is another facet of what happened. It's not that Trump is a Putin marionette, it's that he seems to have pulled bad information off a questionable website and presented it on live television to an audience of thousands without skepticism. This is an indictment of his judgment, not of his loyalty.

Why is she still spending money to run ads in perennial blue states like Minnesota and Washington?

He only did as poorly as he did in the first debate because he was following advice from GOP Judas's like Paul Ryan. And he still wound up winning.

He went back to his old ways in the second debate, and Hillary, Cooper and Raddatz all got creampied in a verbal smackdown the likes of which we have never seen before.

SSJ God SSJ Trump is unbeatable

When the forensic team hired by the DNC posted their information, it was replicated by other security firms.
