Optics. The Trump administration really has no concept of it.

Retaliating against your predecessor (now private citizen) in the midst of a historic investigation over various obstruction of justices and foriegn collusion to undermine the election process in which you are in the center of is...

Well It's not bright.

The Trump administration pissed off enough people to be constantly under the microscope and they think they can try to wiggle out of it by pretending that the entire population of the US is just a giant collective of kittens and they can just play with them like they have a laser pointer in their hands.

Not everyone is going to be so easily distracted by whatever you have to say. This isn't the Republican primaries anymore.

 

[sphagnum]

How long is blaming Obama going to be a thing? I don't recall Bush or Obama spending too much energy invoking predecessors.

Obama spent years reminding people that "hey, this recovery is going to be slow because Bush really did a number on the economy" but that was, you know, true

 

[Dyle]

What a weird angle to take, especially since a bill was just introduced today by Sen. Ron Johnson (R. WI) that would create a new review board that would oversee sharing more of this information with both American and international groups.

This should trip obama up during the debate against trump.

See what you're seeing is a genius at work so it's easy to misinterpret it at first.

 

[broncobuster]

That's really gonna hurt Obama's chances in 2020.

Heck, why not? Considering the rate Trump and the GOP are wrecking the foundations, by 2020 Obama could run again. Trump is what causes Obama to assume president godkingemperor status.

 

[Kensation]

This sounds like something the gang from Always Sunny would come up with.

 

[zethren]

Lol what a bunch of petty, out of touch idiots.

What a joke.

 

[gutter_trash]

so this is why he wants Lieberman as director

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

"Notice me Obama-senpai!!!"

 

[Dead Prince]

LMFAO this is really happening.

 

[Vicetrailia]

Trump sure is a degenerate.

 

[iavi]

What a loser.

I've never been so certain the pee tapes are real

 

[Ominym]

The Republican party of the modern era seems only suited to bitch and moan from the grandstands rather than actually lead and govern.

 

[SubScorpianZero]

Fearmonger/Racist/Bigot/Sexist/Classist/Sociopath


he represents the best qualities of the everyday American

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

This dude is still jealous Obama can walk down stairs without the fear of death.

 

[Mask]

Haha, of course! Still chasing that evil Obama boogeyman who clearly was never born in america and did all that evil evil stuff that Fox News told him about, it's incredible.

I mean, it's still blatantly obvious that they just want to be racist fucks for their low intellgence minority-hating audience, but sure thing, waste what little time you fucks have left pursuing a fruitless witch hunt, and this one is actually a real witch hunt this time, but actually led by a failing orange witch.

 

[louiedog]

 

[gamz]

What a bunch of fucking dopes.

 

[EatinOlives]

This has exactly 0% chance of working.

 

[Trouble]

This has exactly 0% chance of working.

Especially now that everyone knows the plan.

 

[kevin1025]

This will surely create the jobs he promised!

What a fool.

 

[StopMakingSense]

The hilarity of trying to do this after the most serious international cyber attack in history (which our own tools enabled no less!!) is uhhhhhhhhh.....

Especially now that everyone knows the plan.

Yeah, this sounds like one of those 'leak to the press so Trump changes his mind' type deals.

 

[TheCochese]

That's a bold strategy Cotton.

 

[Lev]

More attempts to create fake controversies in order to get the press to stop probing their own controversies. Last time I checked, that didn't work out so well (e.g. debunked claim by Trump that Obama wiretapped him).

Trump and the White House continue to run around like headless chickens.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Trying to hit Obama with the same technicality ridden attack that Clinton was. Only difference is Obama isn't running for anything so the exercise is pointless and highlights what a baby he is.

 

[Thoraxes]

Ah yes, the good ol' compromise national security to enact your personal vendetta thing.

 

[MIMIC]

Have they sped up their efforts since the plan has leaked? xD

 

[Jombie]

Sounds like what a fascist asshole would do.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

“That doesn’t make sense,” he said.

“It seems ludicrous,” the former official added.

Here's why he made a mistake, thinking trump's admin are reasonable or at least intelligent people.

 

[DietRob]

Oh, fucking bring it you gigantic turd.

I dare you!


There is absolutely NOTHING the Obama admin has done that would come anywhere close to slobbing Putin's knob like Trump's admin has/is.. It won't win him any support beyond is already politically toxic base. Anyone still showing full throated support for Trump at this point is irredeemable and we should never ever care about winning their votes.

King Deplorable playing to his deplorable supporters.

 

[Loudninja]

I am confused what does he think he can do?

 

[Disheveled_Zen]

When politicians do dumb shit like this to try and be petty and it blows up in their face, they should be forced to release how many tax dollars they blew on it to the public.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Obama in Hawaii like:

"Huh?!"

 

[AlexFlame116]

Why???

 

[DonShula]

What a weird angle to take, especially since a bill was just introduced today by Sen. Ron Johnson (R. WI) that would create a new review board that would oversee sharing more of this information with both American and international groups.

http://www.wpr.org/johnson-sponsors-bill-enhance-cyber-security

Trump doesn't know who John Robson in and thinks he should get in line.

 

[Trouble]

Yeah, this sounds like one of those 'leak to the press so Trump changes his mind' type deals.

That's the world we live in now.

 

[louiedog]

Is he getting advice from Christie?

 

[Fourth Storm]

It's like when Trump brought forward all the women Bill had allegedly assaulted and had them sit in the audience at the one debate after he himself had been accused of assault. This is whataboutism at the highest level.

 

[Deku Tree]

Is there anything that doesn't leak from this administration?

 

[Oblivion]

This is a seriously pathetic attempt at "both sides".

This makes him smart.

 

[Master Yoshi]

Obama in Hawaii like:

"Huh?!"

LOL

 

[Deku Tree]

Looks like Trump is once again gonna target the low education, low information crowd and just shout about a fake controversy to try to further divide us. Awful.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Do it. Prove again how stupid you are.

Investigating a working HOMELAND SECURITY operation.

wtf

 

[KernelPanic]

This makes him smart.

Apples and oranges.

Of course his supporters are too dumb to know what an IP address or Indicator of Attack is anyway.

 

[GKSilKamina]

Man, this guy finds a way to be more pathetic with each passing day.

That's really gonna hurt Obama's chances in 2020.

lol

 

[Koomaster]

So a waste of time and resources it is then.

I mean if he's saying the Obama administration did something illegal.. which he's claiming was the same thing he personally did; which he said was legal... then he's trying to prove he's done something illegal; or he's trying to prove that Obama did something that was legal?... or... and I've gone crosseyed.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

How long is blaming Obama going to be a thing? I don't recall Bush or Obama spending too much energy invoking predecessors.

As long as a sizable portion of the American public believes it hook, line, and sinker?

 

[Mahonay]

Just more of this

 

[norinrad]

Trump just ran for president probably because how much he hated Obama and always thought he could do a better job. Now that he is there, he is so bad comparatively that he will strike out anyway he can depite it only harming himself and the country he's supposed to be leading.

He can't sleep at night knowing Barry is accepted all over the world and respected while everyone laughs at him. Must suck having no credibility.

 

[sturgboski]

I like the argument of Obama shared sensitive information with our non all Russia AFTER calling Russia an ally in defense of the non cyber security leak that pissed off Israel last week.
