Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 6m6 minutes ago
Julian Assange said "a 14 year old could have hacked Podesta" - why was DNC so careless? Also said Russians did not give him the info!

[BeyondGeography]

1. This guy's going to be President of the United States, right?

All you fucks who voted for him must be so proud.

[Ilsa]

25. Yeah, they are. They think

he's going to fix everything. They think Obama has been mean to him during this interim period. Really. I've seen it typed up on other websites.

Wasn't Obama's comment made in reference to his outgoing popularity rating?

[Jacob Boehme]

32. Ah yup....

... And right after tRump is Prez, old Jeebers will come down from the clouds to whisper the winning Lotto numbers in their ear too... don'cha know!

[Vinca]

2. You know what's going to be funny? What all of our intelligence agencies dig up about Trump

and his ties to Russia. Trump has pissed off the wrong people this time.

[greymattermom]

3. Exactly

That's what I've been thinking. They must know a lot about him. What will get folks to care? Sex with minors? Money? Crimes? Paying for abortions? They don't seem to care.

[Vinca]

4. I don't really care about what folks think or don't think.

What matters is if he's broken a law and charges are eventually brought. His folks don't know their bellybuttons from their . . . you know.

[Pachamama]

21. They have 15 days to do so...and some arrests...or else they can pack up and go home & it's over

And far from funny...

Everyday that goes by and there is silence on intelligence means it's never going to be stopped.

I was born the year that Lyndon Johnson was trying to have peace negotiations with regards to ending the Vietnam war. Nixon who was running for President interferred and it broke down the peace talks. They knew. They had the evidence. They didn't reveal that. Nixon became President and the War continued and how many DIED? And that Tricky Dick made the mess he did in Washington before leaving in disgrace following Watergate? (Which only happened because of a REAL Press).

My point is that President Johnson and the intelligence community didn't reveal then what they knew Candidate Nixon had done and we are only having revealed 50 Effing years later. Revealing an act that a candidate for POTUS had worked against our Nation. And had they revealed it, our Nation may have been spared the Nixon years and lives saved. And here we are now - with candidate Trump - now PRESIDENT-ELECT who is likely in this position ONLY because he allowed a foreign nation, and not just any foreign nation RUSSIA and its Dictator Former KGB leader helping him, and he may be financially tied to Russian Oligarchs and others that compromise him and our Nation's safety and future. If our President Obama and the intelligence community (who in 15 days will be out of jobs) choose not to reveal all and show the world what Trump has done....well, there may not be a 50 years from now for that info to be revealed and if so how many will have died and our democracy and economy and constitution also dead.

5. but, you know, Hillary was a THREAT to national security

[Cha]

8. emails said the m$m and the dumphucks bought it.

[Fast Walker 52]

15. that's a good one

[SammyWinstonJack]

18. Mind blowing isn't it?

[Auntie Bush]

26. Besides that...she had her own server!

[Snarkoleptic]

6. Typical republiClown behavior-

Blame the victim
Change the subject

[Auntie Bush]

29. Every time the media start criticising tRumpf... he says something outrageous

on Twitter and changes the subject. And the Media fall for it hook line and sinker. They are more responsible than the voters for giving this orange creep the keys to the White House.

[bucolic_frolic]

7. He's just making a mockery of everything our intelligence communities

have stood for the last 100 years

They will either allow him to be a vacuous puppet

or find something big to topple him

[global1]

9. Is Trump Now Directly Talking To Assange?....

How does he know what Assange said?

I thought the Hannity interview with Assange was a bust?

[octoberlib]

11. The Hannity interview

And he just tweeted this :

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 4m4 minutes ago
"@FoxNews: Julian Assange on U.S. media coverage: “It’s very dishonest.” #Hannity " More dishonest than anyone knows



Apparently, Julian Assange is right about EVERYTHING in Trumpworld. Wonder if Trump will invite him to come live in the US?

[Fast Walker 52]

16. well, rightwing media is definitely dishonest... that's how we got Trump after all

[eniwetok]

10. What if Assange and Trump made a deal?

Slimier deals have been made... such as Nixon getting S Vietnam to sabotage the peace talks.

[octoberlib]

12. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

[Fast Walker 52]

17. supposedly Roger Stone has been in contact with Assange

so, I'm sure there was some deal

[House of Roberts]

20. You know there was a deal.

Assange wants out of that embassy.

[Fast Walker 52]

24. oh yeah... just wait for it

[brush]

28. Well, Assange is in cahoots with Putin, so there you go. They all worked together to get trump in

[sinkingfeeling]

13. Got to dance with the ones that brought you.

[Loge23]

14. Too much smoke here

Not only trumps steadfast defense of the russians, but the potential conflict of interest scandals, trumps obvious fragile emotional state, his crony cabinet and creepy advisors, his insistence on his children in the WH (they know how mentally damaged he is), and now his increasingly acrimonious exchange with intel - and he's not even in office yet!
I can't see this ending well for the deplorables.

[Paladin]

19. I hope this comes back to bite Trump on the ass. And damn soon. (nt)

[Initech]

22. This was an act of treason you narcissistic fuck!!!

[no_hypocrisy]

23. Trump would have agreed with Stalin, Hitler, etc. if they echoed what he thought.

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

27. Actually Assange quote I heard was that it wasnt "Russian govt" - well duh

Of course it would NOT have been the "Russian government" - but some go-between. Its not like Putin himself was sitting in front of a computer and like he personally hit "send" to send the docs to ole Julian. Jeez what do they think we're stupid?

[Auntie Bush]

33. YES, many of them are stupid...all those that voted for him are stupid.

[Denzil_DC]

30. See this current DU thread

(it may not be obvious from its title how it relates to this):

Proof that, contrary to Trump, it's unlikely a random "14-year-old" phished Podesta's email

[Satch59]

31. What are the chances Trump doesn't attend

The briefing on Friday? This behavior /tweets seems to be escalating and more red flags need to be waved. Intel needs to leak something really damaging and soon. Heard a few guests on MSNBC & CNN last night say Intel has stuff on him and they have ways to "leak"...

Trump is now (I guess has always been) a matter of national security...

[Zambero]

34. Sexual predators look out for one another

What's a few lies after the crimes already perpetrated?

[Cryptoad]

36. The Trump "real" NewsFeed

WTF is anybody doing following him on Tweet???????

[hadEnuf]

35. So we are supposed to ignore our own multi-billion dollar security agencies

because "WikiLeaks said...." ??

Will Trump go to the Cartoon Network for presidential advice next?

Trump is dangerously unhinged.

[kimbutgar]

37. Just pre-empt national tv and radio and show the evidence, videos and recording

That he is a treasonous bastard. I know it can be done do it CIA, NSA and other intelkegience show unrefutable proof of it and how rethugs also manipulayed the ekection in their favor.

Interrrupt those broadcasts all over the US and expose him.

[Fast Walker 52]

38. great twitter thread here showing how it was very systemic hacking, not 14 yr old

[Blue_Tires]

40. Yeah, I follow him -- He's been on it from the start

[Blue_Tires]

39. LOL.. Where are Assange's cheerleaders now??
