Trump has a massive head of steam now. He's practically untouchable. The whisper number on the upcoming quarterly GDP report is north of 4.5%. One analyst said, "Oh what a difference 8 years makes", referring to Da Bum's disaster of a presidency.
Who would have thought that a non-politician could really exact such change. Oh that's right, we had Reagan - and conservatives have been clamoring for another iteration of him since the 80's. We're not that crazy it turns out. Now imagine if Trump was 100% cogent; imagine where we'd be right now. The Democratic/Socialist/Communist party would be dead for 50 years. If the economy keeps chugging along the commies' fate may yet be sealed. We need that "blue wave" to be more like a blue ripple. Or better yet, we need the blue wave to be met by a red tsunami. Hopefully the fake media reports become loud and boisterous about their expected Libtard turnout so the Great Americans will follow suit in defense.
I think the American public is smarter than many give them credit for. After Trump's meeting with Putin his approval numbers hit their highest point since the beginning of his presidency. The American public is no fan of Russia but doesn't want to give the bear any reason to wake back up. They know that being cordial yet firm is the way to go. They also believe that threatening wannabees like Iran, Syria, and N. Korea is a winning strategy. Trump's foreign policy is exactly in line with his base, most of moderate America, and a lot of the manufacturers that make up the Blue Wall. In a nutshell, the 'Rats are on the run...

For everyone who thinks Trump's lies don't matter: how can you read stories like this and not get the sense we're on a really bad path? https://www.theatlantic.com/internat...script/565385/
The White House has altered the video and written transcripts of the Putin press conference to hide the question/answer where Putin admits that he wanted Trump to win the election. And Trump goes and Tweets this:
We've always been able to say that we aren't going to turn into North Korea, China, Russia or whatever other country that controls and alters the information disseminated to citizens, and we've been able to say that because we have said we would hold our politicians accountable. But we seriously have people saying "libs" are out here with "Trump derangement syndrome" and that it's a "great day to be an American" and just straight questioning everything that comes out of our intelligence agencies in favor of what is being said by Trump himself.
Trump's White House is spreading false propaganda daily. And people are just cool with it. And critics are accused of having Trump derangement syndrome. It's just exhausting.Comment

Reading that article it appears the entire thing was a cluster and technical difficulties and microphone exchange issues are more to blame than any intentional change of the accounts. Several news agencies got it wrong and in different places.
It's not like the FBI and DOJ changed the wording from grossly negligent to extremely careless, or wrote an acquittal document before interviewing the main witness, or granted immunity to every single person implicated in the case, or didn't interview the witness under oath, and didn't take notes during the interview, in order to prevent a Presidential candidate from going to prison. In my opinion, that should be what concerns everyone. Thank god President Trump is draining the swamp and bringing some accountability back to D.C. -
shockfan89_ ... c'mon... Watch the video. The audio is in the video. You can hear the question. Putin hears the question. Putin says "yes" and then he provides the basis for why he said yes (i.e., Trump was better for Russia). A "cluster" doesn't result in deleting a portion of a video that gets posted online. That has absolutely nothing to do with the video and audio recording hardware. -
shockfan89_ made a coherent point jd. It's applicable to where we're at as a nation right now. No?

What an asinine response.Originally posted by pinstripers View Post
This is about the White House altering video and written transcripts to hide that Putin said it. Who I "believe" has literally no bearing on it. Who you believe should have no bearing on it. Please, just try to take a step back and shed even a sliver of your bias when thinking about this.
But I mean, if we want to get into whether or not I think Putin preferred Trump, yeah I guess I believe it since he said it? I also guess I believe the Senate Intelligence Committee that has said the same thing? And I agree with the conclusion of the CIA, NSA, and FBI in the Intelligence Community Assessment that found the same thing? But yeah, I dunno... maybe I should believe Trump.Comment

Yep, not a big deal. Makes it even crazier that they're lying about it, but that's kind of par for the course, right?
Easy enough to say Russia meddled in the election but it didn't affect the outcome? Go ahead and lie and say they didn't meddle.
Easy enough to explain why Putin would say that? Go ahead and lie and say he wanted the dems to win.
We see the same pattern over and over again. -
Why do you assume they are lying about it when "But recordings of the exchange were muddled for two reasons. First, the English translation of Putin’s previous response was concluding as Mason began to speak. Second, the microphone seemed to pick up Mason’s question halfway through—making the latter half of it easier to hear."

To be clear, your source points out that the transcript was always accurate. Also, once the "technical issue" was pointed out, the White House posted an audio-corrected video. We'll see if your guy does the same: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov...ancois-holland

Oh and the "missing" piece of the transcript actually makes it look WORSE. That's indicative that the White House didn't alter it but probably had technical issues with transcribing the exchange:
If you were going to intentionally alter this exchange, in order to leave something out, you would have left out the second half of the question, not the first half.Compare this transcript, of what actually happened, to the White House’s version. Here is the record of what took place, starting with the last part of Putin’s comments before Mason’s questions. Putin is describing his willingness to assist with Robert Mueller’s probe (bolding is mine):Vladimir Putin: That could be a first step, and we can also extend it. Options abound, and they all can be found in an appropriate legal framework.
Jeff Mason: President Putin, did you want President Trump to win the election and did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?
Putin: Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.–Russia relationship back to normal.
And here’s the key section from the White House transcript, which makes it seem as though Putin is still talking about the Mueller probe:PRESIDENT PUTIN: That could be a first step, and we can also extend it. Options abound, and they all can be found in an appropriate legal framework.
Q: And did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?
PRESIDENT PUTIN: Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.–Russia relationship back to normal.

The official transcript takes Putin's comments completely out of context. Everything before that question was Putin talking about Bill Browder's investments and trying to convince Trump to let Putin's officials interrogate Browder (which Trump thought wasn't a bad idea... yikes). Without the context, it's 100% unclear what he's talking about. It absolutely does not make it look worse. It is not as if the prior paragraph was Putin saying something about Trump winning or whatever. Without the context, how could you possibly make that sentence be about Russia's involvement in the election?
Trump tweeted the next day that Russia wants the democrats to win this fall. I don't understand how it's not clear that Trump is just trying to sell that false narrative and people are falling for it hook, line and sinker.

Trump continually asked during his campaign, "Would it be so bad if we got along with Russia?"
So the Russian leader liking DJT and hoping for his election
is such a surprise? Knock me over with a feather.
Trump knows this article is circulating; he watches the news very closely. His subsequent tweet is a pure troll and classic Trump.
This country is heading in a bad direction huh? We are currently breaking records in the economic prosperity category. I guess we'll just have to let the voters decide... Don't get your hopes up.
