So far I’d say it’s been a smashing success based on people’s reactions. 😄

I’m glad to see the “illusion of truth effect” is alive and well in the world still. Keeps things interesting if nothing else.

This is probably the second time I’ve even talked to you, so I don’t get why you’re upset. Jokes, especially political jokes, usually have a meaning behind them, calling to attention a point of criticism or something, otherwise what’s the point? I couldn’t tell if the meaning had something to do with Trump or Merkel, and simply asked for clarification, which you seem unable to provide.

Of course diplomats behind-the-scenes do all the real negotiating but when you refuse to shake the hand of the most important politician in European, diplomatic relations just got frosty (or to be generous, Trump might be going deaf).

Knowing what that hand might have just grabbed, I wouldn’t want to shake hands with him.

Clearly you did not read the post I parodied. I took warblers statement and turned it around, nothing more. There is no hidden insult or cryptic meaning that can only be decoded by you asking for me to reveal some magical answer key.

I read it, I simply did not know your intent. You turned around the statement, anyone can see this, but why? If you had anything to say about Merkel, why not just say it? I won’t bother continuing with this train of thought, the hidden insults in this new post are much more obvious.

EDIT: So I just got the joke. She has a pussy and might touch it occasionally. Case closed.

There are no hidden insults. Apparently, not everyone can see or do this here. It had nothing to do with genitalia of any kind. Business as usual.

Now that is a joke. I made everything the opposite of what was said previously. It’s funny!

And that’s what they’re claiming (sort of).

To be fair to Trump, maybe that’s what actually happened, since he did shake her hand earlier in the day, several times.

Or maybe he did it on purpose to make it yet another story that distracts from all the real shitty things he’s doing. Who knows?

Not that anyone should be surprised that Trump simply has been lying his ass off but it’s pretty much official now.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/03/19/no-new-evidence-to-support-trumps-wiretap-claims-house-intelligence-chairman-says/?utm_term=.c21f28814250

The Republican chairman and ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said Sunday that there was no proof in new documents provided to Congress by the Justice Department on Friday to support President Trump’s claim that his predecessor had ordered wiretaps of Trump Tower.

“Was there a physical wiretap of Trump Tower? No, but there never was, and the information we got on Friday continues to lead us in that direction,” Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the chairman, said on “Fox News Sunday.”

He added, “There was no FISA warrant that I’m aware of to tap Trump Tower” — a reference to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a federal law that governs the issuance of search warrants in U.S. intelligence gathering.

Rep. Adam Schiff (Calif.), the panel’s top Democrat, said, “We are at the bottom of this: There is nothing at the bottom.”

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., pushed back against his Senate counterparts’ categorical conclusion that Trump Tower was never under surveillance during the campaign or presidential transition.

Nunes stood by his Wednesday assertion that there was no “physical” wiretap on then-candidate and President-elect Trump. But beyond that, he said, is unknowable.

[…]

There was no “physical” wiretap on Trump but “you can’t rule out surveillance because we know for a fact that they picked up incidental collection on General Flynn—now we don’t know if that was it,” Nunes told reporters on Thursday.

Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey told ABC News’ Martha Raddatz that Trump is probably right to think that Trump Tower was under surveillance, but added that the president was wrong to accuse Obama of being behind the action.

If Trump Tower was under surveillance, Trump wasn’t the target.

Trump still has provided zero evidence of his claims.

^That is supposition at best, that he was not a target. Even if he wasn’t, if his voice was recorded during whatever surveillance they were doing, the NSA/CIA would only have to deny it. Trump will have to come up with verified transcripts of calls his conversations are on and in this digital age anything can disappear, ask Hillary Clinton, LOL.

Even Trump is now claiming he never made any clams about a wire and it was Fox News’ fault anyway…

First off, lol.

Secondly, they only quoted a talented legal mind who happens to be a 9/11 truther.

Thirdly, bullshit.

And finally, Trump’s “joke” went over quite well, didn’t it? Almost as well as a “joke” told here recently.

The joke where Merkel and him had something in common - they were both "tapp"ed.

The same could be said for me knowing you actually have a light inside your fridge.

It’s a site I follow for political news. H.A. Goodman is not a Trump supporter. He wanted Bernie like I did. Had Bernie not been cheated he would have been a tough fight for Trump.
