IDGAF about these tweets, but can we please stop the "but but but the media/HRC/Obama" stuff.

Trump's actions need to be good or bad, right or wrong, on their own merits at this point. Comparing stuff to HRC/Obama or excusing things because the media would cover the other side differently is not a good way to rule.



Yep.

Time to let the hero worship die off.

That'll never die off, because that's all his voters have.

There are plenty of reasonable arguments you can make about Trump starting off on the right foot.

Want I want to see is Republicans saying "I agree with Trump on X, Y, and Z. I don't like this plan for A. He needs to be careful about B."

Saw a little yesterday with the tariff discussion. But mostly, around here, it's still "frick Obama, Trump rulez!!!!" Hopefully some of that will burn off naturally.

Didn't Wikileaks offer to pay someone if they could prove the Obama administration was destroying records and no one took them up on it?

What if he spoke his tweets to siri?
We all know this probably violates the letter of the law but it damn sure doesn't violate the intent of the law ( or spirit) nor come close to the purpose thos law was enacted.

There's 30,000 emails that were deleted leading up to the Iraq war that were recovered.



There's also an estimated 1 million that were sent/received from email accounts hosted by the RNC servers. Trump's administration is also using RNC server email addresses.


But this story is pretty much a nothingburger.

Congress recently amended it to include electronic records.


There's not a disclaimer when you log into twitter, facebook, et al that says that this correspondence is subject to monitoring and recording.

It DOES, however, say that whenever you log into your e-mail.

It's still reducing something to a written electronic record. He also uses Android apparently so Siri isn't a thing for him.

Keep it up, fake news. Remove any remaining doubt about your impartiality.

They didn't give a shite when Hillary deleted 30,000 emails and used unsecured servers for top secret communication but they want to claim that Trump posting a tweet from a blackberry is illegal? Please try to make a big deal out of this.


This has become the defense for everything Trump does. "But Hillary/Obama/some Democrat did something worse one time." So what?

Grade Trump on his own merits. If he broke the law, he broke the law. Please stop with the endless comparisons to people who are no longer in political office.
