Oct. 19, 2017: Donald Trump just suggested the FBI, Democrats and Russia might all be co-conspirator
CNN ^ | Oct. 19, 2017 | Chris Cilizza

This is, of course, somewhat common fare by this point in the arc of Trump's presidency. Faced this week with storylines he doesn't like -- questions about the Niger attack, controversy over a phone call he placed to the widow of one of the soldiers lost in that attack, Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Capitol Hill facing questions about Russian meddling in the election -- he aims to change the subject via his Twitter feed. And he often does so by lobbing out a conspiracy theory with only the loosest ties to the factual world.

Twitter is a way around the fake news media.

They would never publish my conservative views.

I can post them online for millions to read.

The fake news media is a fighting a losing battle.

New media is changing the landscape.

President Trump has a powerful tool unavailable to President Reagan.

He can get his message out, unfiltered to millions of people.

All the fake news media can do is react. They can no loger decide what gets seen or heard.

FBI with phoney FISA application
Dossier funded by DNC and Hillary Campaign
British Spy colluding with Russian Agents of disinformation.

Sounds like a conspiracy to me.

I’ll bet that Obama is slithering around in there somewhere, too.

Yeah, holed up with his 9 lawyers, just in case.

The Deep State liked the world better before the internet, when they fully controlled the narrative. It’s damn inconvenient to have some puissant serf digging up an article from a year ago which shows the powers that be to be frikin idiots and liars.

The democratization of information introduced by the internet will destroy the Deep State just as the printing press helped destroy the monarchies of Europe 2 centuries ago.

Trump knew as soon as Comey briefed him on the fake dossier in January 2017.

Yup.

In the old days, the old media was the information gatekeeper and controlled access and they would have easily destroyed Trump.

Today, the balance has shifted. They’re unnerved at a President who fights back and dominates every news cycle.

As a result, they’re on the defensive. The influence of the print and TV news media are on the decline.

They’re dinosaurs in the emerging Internet digital information world. Its as revolutionary a change as the invention of the printing press was at the dawn of the Renaissance.

What you hear from the fake news media is its death rattle.

President Trump is using my strategy of outrageous but true.
The fact cards are already in his hand. He is just getting the media to keep throwing more and more money into the pot until he comes down with the hammer.

Pssst, the turncoat media was colluding with Comey, Nunes, and others who were planting bullstalin “leak” attacks on Trump.

The press is NOT an independent bystander to these proceedings.

They are corrupt AF and in on it too

You really think Nunes was colliding with Comey and the media?

Most Reptilians adopt earth names to try to blend in. Let’s give credit for being able to keep a name best pronounced in Reptilian tongue.

President Trump has had full access to everything in the Memo (indeed everything) since at least March 2017 when he tweeted his wires were tapped.
