Seriously?! Obama had the Brits do the wiretapping?

Is the right wing out of its fucking mind with this bullshit? Since when can an US president order British intelligence to conduct surveillance?


I will not be posting any right wing clickbait. You can Google for yourself.

If you ignore his accusations and just look at the bare bones of what he is saying, the bare bones then come out 2 to 3 weeks later from other sources. Then the press confirms what he has said but includes the fact that it was not a conspiracy against Trump. He is the leaker in chief.

Head of "Deep State," Muslim Brotherhood member, head of shadow gov't, was going to invade Texas ("Jade Helm&quot , destroyer of the Constitution, communist, Marxist, fascist, Satan's puppet, created FEMA concentration camps, enemy of good Chris'chuns, on and on and on.
My kind of prez!
But here's the big plot hole in the R's phony talking point: Assume Obama could just dial-a-Brit and order up some intel on the Orange Idiot. What did he (Obama) do with that alleged intel? He certainly didn't act on it. The election went ahead as scheduled. The Orange Idiot somehow still got elected, and has made his administration a living hell for us and the world. When is that Obama-Brit intel gonna hit the fan? Because I can't wait!

A repub friend sent me a email early last year saying Obama wasn't going to give up the Presidency and he was arming all the police including transit, universities, etc with military weapons and have them help taking over the U.S.. Haven't got a email from him saying anything about dipshit donnie trying to co-opt all police departments to round up illegal immigrants. If I had my tin foil hat on I'd say it was just the first step in him trying to do that.
