US makes formal apology to Britain after White House accuses GCHQ of wiretapping Trum

Re: US makes formal apology to Britain after White House accuses GCHQ of wiretapping

I hope you're right.

It is the only protest the GOP will take seriously, when there jobs are at risk.
 
Re: US makes formal apology to Britain after White House accuses GCHQ of wiretapping

Not taking sides, but what if Napolitano's claims are accurate? The Brits would have to deny it.
Exactly and that is why any intelligent person would never make the accusation, but considering that we have morons here we are. Naturally we have more of them to defend the indefensible.
 
Re: US makes formal apology to Britain after White House accuses GCHQ of wiretapping

Oh dear is right.


Hmmmmm? Let's see.

Based only on the OP.
Three (3) separate intelligence sources told Fox News ...

vs
One (1) source told them that "The apology came direct from them" ... possibly two sources for the overall claim.

iLOL
The battle of the leaks.

If you go by the numbers Napolitano has it hands down.


And who in the heck thinks Britain is going to be honest about this if they did participate?



Seems the real problem here are the leaks/anonymous sources.
What's ironic is that you think people that criticize Trump are against you. You think that Trump represents your interests. But like all con artists, his real target is the people that buy into his message, ie his own supporters. And like all con artists, he says and promises one thing, but he does and gives the opposite. And like any con, the people on your side are the ones attacking the con artist.

Notice the news article about Trump wanting to abolish the Appalachian Regional Commission and the U.S. Economic Development Administration in his budget? That won't likely mean anything to you unless you live in Coal Country. Those are the programs which help to teach unemployed coal miners skills to help them earn jobs in other high paying lines of work. Miners aren't stupid, they know the mines aren't going to last forever. They know the region will need something else moving forward.

Trump promised to bring back coal, and it's totally understandable why that message caught on. Coal country is struggling. He promised to give them all good jobs and let them work so they can earn some dignity and provide for their families.

That's what Trump promised, but what does Trump do? Not only does he not provide jobs, he wants to cut what little help his struggling supporters have. Same thing on health care. Trump promised that everyone would be covered, for less, and it would be better. But what is he trying to do? He wants to take health care away from millions of people, increases their premiums, and dramatically reduces the support people in coal country need... all so that millionaires and billionaires can get hundreds of thousands of dollars of tax cuts. Sure he'll say that he's keeping his promises, that everything he does is the greatest, and it will be so much worse without him. But ignore what he says and look what he does.

It's the same story here. Trump makes whatever accusation is most convenient for him at the time, but when it's time to provide proof there's always a delay, excuse, or change of topic.
 
Re: US makes formal apology to Britain after White House accuses GCHQ of wiretapping

When the White House admits there's no evidence then we're allowed at that point to say it's not true. There's such a thing as keeping such an open mind that one's brains can spill out of one's ears.

I agree with you, but I find Napolitano to be more credible than Trump. That the Brit resigned his position seems interesting to me. IMO, Trump has been brought to heel by the deep state, so who knows? Not I.
 
Re: US makes formal apology to Britain after White House accuses GCHQ of wiretapping

This is you making something up to believe.
It puts the rest of what you say in the same light.


You think that Trump represents your interests.
And again, this is you making something up to believe.


But like all con artists, his real target is the people that buy into his message, ie his own supporters. And like all con artists, he says and promises one thing, but he does and gives the opposite. And like any con, the people on your side are the ones attacking the con artist.
You are absurdly associating the President with a con-artist.
iLOL
The crap you say is biased made-up nonsense.

No it doesn't mean a damn thing and it shouldn't.
It is not a program that needs to be funded by the Federal Government.

All hyperbolic emotional nonsense.
 
Re: US makes formal apology to Britain after White House accuses GCHQ of wiretapping

If John Kasich had been the GOP nominee, I'd have voted for him.

Greetings, TheGoverness. :2wave:

I wrote him in, because he's been a great Governor for my State! :thumbs:

I actually looked at Kasich in the primary, but his views on cannabis are prehistoric.
 
Re: US makes formal apology to Britain after White House accuses GCHQ of wiretapping

He's like the relative that you pretend you aren't related to around people.

Unfortunately he's the President. This sort of reckless rhetoric is really going to backfire on us.
 
Re: US makes formal apology to Britain after White House accuses GCHQ of wiretapping

It already has, his credibility just took a big hit, not like the man had much going into the job, couple of tweets and here we are.
 
Re: US makes formal apology to Britain after White House accuses GCHQ of wiretapping

Considering the US and Britain do these kind of favors for each other to get around laws it is entirely possible it is accurate. Just because Britain got all mad about it doesn't mean **** to me. :shrug:

Considering Trump began his political career as the Birther in Chief, why are we not suprised it has come to this, his pathological hatred of Obama is alarming.

I just wish he was taking this seriously, but I never thought he was. I didn't give Clinton much, I really thought she'd be a terrible President more Corporate than even Obama and Bush (not that Trump is any better in that category, lol), but I did say she'd at least have been less embarrassing.

We got almost 4 years of this left though, and the first few months have been nothing but embarrassment. He should not be allowed near twitter while he is President.
 
Re: US makes formal apology to Britain after White House accuses GCHQ of wiretapping

They would only send over Pence, at least he is sane and does not have a personality disorder. I would gladly take Pence over his boss.

Before Trump took office I was of the opinion that a President Pence would be worse for the country than a President Trump. I have changed my mind on that.

Napolitano's a truther, you know. He also let slip a comment that almost certainly means he's a birther as well.
 
Re: US makes formal apology to Britain after White House accuses GCHQ of wiretapping

How long will the Don and GOP honeymoon last?

If Trump's approval falls to the low 30's / high 20's AND the midterms are in sight, the GOP with throw him overboard to protect their legislative majorities and statehouses. The 2018 and 2020 elections will establish the foundation of who controls the House for the next decade as legislative lines get re-drawn after the 2020 census.
 
Re: US makes formal apology to Britain after White House accuses GCHQ of wiretapping

Seems the real problem here are the leaks/anonymous sources.

Maybe so, but it's the act of a moron to accuse a major ally of illegal activity such as wiretapping a presidential candidate without SOLID proof that it in fact happened, and proof that you're willing to release to the public. Otherwise, even IF it happened, this crap ought to be handled behind closed doors. Reckless doesn't even begin to describe how irresponsible it is to air this kind of accusation in public.
 
Re: US makes formal apology to Britain after White House accuses GCHQ of wiretapping

Unless Trump personally apologizes, then its not a real apology. ;)

But since he's really a Russian Nazi his apology is automatically a lie which is secretly designed to undermine the media and take over the world.

By the way, did you ever notice how closely Trump's scowl mimics this guy?

Yeah, fantastic, can't imagine why it would be a problem for the U.S. who relies on our British allies to casually accuse them of crimes and of wiretapping Trump. Should make them more willing to share intelligence with us knowing the people getting it are loose cannons and will make any kind of wild accusation whenever they get a burr up their paranoid and thin skinned rear end.

Greetings, yankintx. :2wave:

There are a whole lot of people in this state who don't agree with him on cannabis, but they like him anyway, :cool: and I understand it's going to be on our ballot again, so we'll see.

What everyone does like about him is the fact that although he inherited a four billion dollar deficit when he took office, he managed to turn it into a several billion dollar surplus by his second term. When he ran for reelection, he carried 86 out of 88 counties in Ohio, with people from both parties showing their approval of the fairness he shows in his way of governing! :applaud

Unfortunately, Ohio law only allows two consecutive terms, but a candidate is eligible again after four years out of office, or he'd doubtless win again in 2018. His current term in office will end on January 14, 2019.

He has done a good job in Ohio, but as I need cannabis as medication it is a deal breaker in the voting booth, I value my health too much to vote for a non believer in its medical benefits. I understand why he has taken the position, but he has a very narrow view on this issue.

The US and Britain use each other to spy on their own citizens, so excuse the hell out of me if I don't believe Britain. Maybe the US and Britain should both stop using loopholes in laws to spy on their own people.

1. There was no accusation from the White House. All Spicer did was point out what had been reported in the News. The only real problem here is the leaks/anonymous sources.
2. To think that Britain does not spy on us is absurd.
 
Re: US makes formal apology to Britain after White House accuses GCHQ of wiretapping

Conspiracy loving Truther Nappy, as usual, is a piece of ****.

So is Spicer for escalating it..

It's a pretty ****ty thing to do to one of our closest allies.

I actually feel bad for Spicy, having to get out there and defend his bosses reckless tweets, bet he hates his job.
