Anonymous sources published by our primary media have to go through some vetting and are typically well-placed people with something to lose by telling the truth
Is that the same vetting process that produced the Internet video story?

Haaaaaaa what a load of shite!! Does santa and the Easter bunny still bring you gifts??
And yeah I know Trump won* and that many hang their hat on that, but that victory is more a symptom of the problem than disproof of its existence.

I know who the sources are...junior level employees or aides. It's not the senior personnel

You have to first believe CNN to believe any of this is true. I have a hard time getting past the first hurdle.
Then you have to read this in the proper context:
That said, if there are leaks, Trump should lay traps for the leakers, as he seems to have done in the past, and catch them, squeeze them, and fire them.

In one conversation with two low-level door holders, conducted on condition of anonymity, because door stops make laughable sources, to discuss White House rumors, door holders described to CNN that they don't like their jobs within the West Wing ranks, where the people who shouldn't know of high level decisions didn't know about this one, and were thus surprised by Trump's decision and had little ability to develop a cogent response to their friends and family who asked them if their job as a door stop allowed them any insight into the decision.

You government deadbeats need to stop wasting our money.

bullshite. The left wing and the media report whatever the frick they want to say to manipulate morons like yourself.
There is no "vetting" process for an anonymous source dumbass. A story is published at the pleasure of the people in charge.

I thought you quit.
quote:I actually developed a formula to make you guys feel better. Bottom line, by my calculation, if you're from certain states your tax dollars don't actually support me. Since the people of those states collectively receive more in individual and business subsidies, military expenditures, and other forms of aid than they contribute, you can consider your ferderal tax dollars recycled back into your needy state. And not only your money, but some from random people from New Jersey, California, Massachusetts, Washington, etc. So in reality they pay for me to screw around on the internet, and still pump money into your state. You, on the other hand, are only reinvesting in your own state. I think you come out ahead on that deal.

Plus most people went to public colleges. I didn't.

There used to be. Ben Bradlee most definitely knew the identity of Deep Throat and I believe spoke to him in person multiple times to verify Woodward and Garfunkel's info.

Funny how corporate welfare gets forgotten when libs want to throw out this stat. Wall Street, the Conneticut insurance cartels, the auto industry, they don't get any sort of bailouts or subsidues do they?

And yet, you're 0-10 against me w/regards to the major issues upon which we've disagreed. I posted a list about 3 weeks ago, so no need to do it again.
But the point Is, when (if ever) does this alleged superior intellect you claim to have ever pay off for you? You've been wrong so often on here that I've personally referred to you as the Peej of the PT Board.
In fact, if you were a man of your word you wouldn't even be here. You lost a permanent ban bet with me, but then backed out of it like the little weaseal you are.
There's an old saying, Clint. "The proof is in the pudding." You pretend to be a couple of notches above this board intelecctually, yet none of your analysis ever pans out. You know what I think? I think you're an insecure little man who feels the need to exaggerate your own abilities in order to compensate.
False bravado, if you will. Hence, the reason I call you Clint.

Second, I was wrong about the nomination and the election. And I guess you "guessed" right. And good on you.
But no one here, be they loathed to admit it, and certainly no one in the real world, would ever mistake us for intellectual, educational, or experiential peers. And you know it. And that's no boast because you aren't much. That's what upsets you. It's why you hate that kid who's a doctor, too. It's why you hate DB. You don't like people who take life easy, as it comes, generally with some aplomb. It's really petty for you to drum on about this, too. I've never seen you display anything approaching a journeyman's understanding of any subject not relating to fake TBN charismatic "Christianity" or some bullshite culture-warring.
And you've broken your word on here, for the record, at least a few times. Most recently a few nights ago. And you specifically started a thread for each. I broke a bet months before its conclusion once.
I don't want this to be personal, but you know how it is breh.

I agree. I would have to sustain major head trauma for us to even have a chance to be peers.
Look, Clint. You're the one who comes here and falsely denigrates most of the people on this board. Your stupid anti-Southern rhetoric is both out-of-bounds and wrong. Especially when you have NOTHING on which to support your hysterical self-proclaimed intellectual superiority.
You bring this on yourself, dude, by foolishly allowing your mouth to write checks that your arse can't cash.

Or maybe Donald Trump can just keep his story straight.
