Cohen Hired IT Firm to Rig Early Polls in Favor of Trump

What will be interesting is if Trump responds. He's been pretty silent on twitter as of the past 24 hrs. only two tweets and one retweet.
 
I wonder if there is a line item of “bags of cash” in the Trump campaign’s official expenses.

Sites that have on-line polls, those polls are meaningless. A conservative site like Drudge naturally would get results 80% or so for the candidate they are pushing. A liberal site, the same. These sites attract viewers, readers of the same political ideology ilk. Disregard any online poll of this type.

What I’m waiting for trump supporters to figure out is that the reason why trump is so certain that news and polls are fake is because he’s the source of fake news and fake polls.

Not quite. First they deny it, then they call it “old news” or demand that you repost the same article infinity times to support your claim that it happened. Trump supporters are a bottomless well of bad faith.

Even then, they don't want to figure it out, witness the repeated rehashing of proven lies like the Iran fund and Uranium One, and Benghazi(!). They are throwing out chaff, they know there is nothing there, but they keep throwing it out to try to get others to believe their crap.

I can't say I agree. Part of the reason Donnie had so many failures is because he wasn't paying attention to the details. He turned the reigns over to other people while he schmoozed it up with the rich people of NYC. He's always been more about ideas and ****ty marketing than actually running a successful business.

I'm of the opinion more and more that Trump is really just an idiot who is very, very easy to manipulate. More so now in his older years.

There's a whole bunch of reasons why Trump and his merry clan did the things they've done. Only a decade or more of them laying on a psychiatrist couch could sort out all the causes of their arrogance and 'above the law' attitudes.

Most of us can't even imagine what it would be like to be a millionaire by the age of 3 or never having to open a refrigerator to get a glass of milk after school, never having to wash that glass after. This was a child that in the 2nd grade punched his music teacher in the face giving him a black eye. In military academy where he attended high school, he tried to push a fellow cadet out a second-floor window, only to be stopped when two other students intervened.

This was not normal adolescence shenanigans, this was dysfunctional childhood behavior. He was adult Trump in miniature, a younger version of the bombastic, flamboyant, hubristic man who cheated, lied and shoved his way into the White House using any means he could conceive of to get there. This was much more than merely 'white privilege' growing up, these were signs of an emotionally broken person.

Trump has been doing this sort of dirty dealing in New York for decades. People in NY were 'on to him'. They knew of his shady deals and payoffs to contractors and vendors. It was an open secret in the NY area. When a privileged person has lived that way all their life and it worked for them then suddenly that arrogance leads them into dangerous territory because it's the U.S. Government that they're dirty dealing with, it's a whole new ball game.

The funny thing is, they always poo-poo info like this, loudly. And, when it is proved correct, they really get quiet.

So much cognitive dissonance by the cultists, you wonder what it will take for them to have an epiphany. The smarter ones will eventually figure it out, but the deeply cultified rubes..I don't know if they will ever figure it out.

I agree with you. But I believe they will figure it out and possibly already have, but they're going to deny everything to the bitter end. And who cares, I surely don't care whether they ever believe this or not. After two years of trying to put the mounting evidence before their very eyes, they're dug in and their egos will not let them acquiesce at this point.

I've always said, they hate us more for hating Trump than they love Trump.

$50,000? pish tosh. A mere pittance to make stuff up.
It cost Hillary and the DNC over $1,000,000 to get the Russian fabrications.

So based on this inane post, Hillary is richer than Donald. :mrgreen:

Dude, get a new schtick. You next week: “Sure, Trump rigged a poll, but it’s not illegal, and besides, who hasn’t?”

Still using the Godfather as the only comparison we have to these NY thugs, I can't help but see a lot of similarities between Donny Jr. and Fredo. Both thought they were 'smaht'

 
Must be a slow day for all you TDS'ers.. ;)

Rigged online polls... BBAHAHAWAWAWA :)

So far in this thread:

- rigging those polls is meaningless. Liberals sites do the same thing.
- I didn't read it all, can someone help me read?
- MSM rigged all polls, therefore it doesn't matter.


Deplorable is as deplorable does.

Everyone knows Trump is bad, Cohen did a lot of dirty work for him, at his direction, and that the 2016 election was illegitimate.
Trump is doing Russia's bidding, probably compromised, etc. The list of dirty deeds is so long and boring, I can almost understand people not caring.

Well then, I assume that the FBI will be heading to the WH to place Trump under arrest? What time so I can tune in?

Trump thought Cohen was trustworthy for decades. Tells you all you need to know about the man's judgement process, don't it? I mean, it's not like Trump wasn't rich enough to afford a million other lawyers in NYC. He purposely picked the one who he trusts enough to facilitate his payments to hookers, he trusts guys working for Turkey on the low, he trusts Manafort, who is money laundering, he trusts literally everyone but the people who have a camera or microphone aimed at him whenever he so much as peeps....

They're the ones he can't stand, and the ones who he labels the enemy of the people.

Go figure.

Stop kidding around, you're not *really* expecting they will change their faith-based beliefs. Faith requires no evidence (and can be held in spite of evidence), no differentiation of true/false, and certainly no admission that errors can be made, and should be corrected. That's why it's so appealing to some, and they are OK with being unethical.

Surely when they go to the doctor, Faith-based treatment is suddenly not the rule they want to use. For their own health, they would prefer a reason-based physician....different rules for them than for everyone else. The definition of unethical.

Is it ethical?
Is it good?
Is it appropriate?

Surely you have some standards beyond laws, given that laws have to be created, and can be changed...on what are they created and changed? Magic?

So its not illegal then. Ok.

No, but its dishonest. Its but another example of the wholesale corruption of Trump and those around him. This is one of the most innocuous in the resume of Trump sins. It won't make the cut when Trump trims that resume down to its highlights.
