    Donald Trump's verbal prowess has often raised eyebrows among the public, with baffled linguists often in the uncomfortable situation to try to guess what he was trying to say on several occasions (the 'bigly' vs. 'big league' debate, anyone? So it doesn't exactly come as a surprise that AP's transcribers struggled to discern what the U.S. president was saying during an interview with White House correspondent Julie Pace.  In the transcript of its Friday interview, AP found 16 (!) "unintelligible" instances, which is quite a compelling figure for a single interview.  It isn't clear whether Trump mumbled nonexistent words or the recording was of poor quality.  Here are a few examples:  About the military About Syria  About the press and the taxes What was the president trying to say?  We're just as baffled as you probably are.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  [H/T Jezebel] WATCH: Eric Trump is now a front-runner for the Most Oblivious Thing Ever Said About the Internet by Anyone, Anywhere

      You constantly call out other people for not understanding a comment, yet you seem more and more to do be missing the point on many posts.


      What's the point of starting a new debate if everyone is just going to ignore any information or sources that don't fit in with their agenda?

        Here's a hint: maybe you're not really making the point that you think you are

              Yep. That's why it's all but pointless to keep it around.

                Because I find the level of hypocrisy and use of hyperbole from both "sides" both humorous and sad.

                              more fake news about russian connections



                              WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, appeared to violate federal law when he failed to seek permission or inform the U.S. government about accepting tens of thousands of dollars from Russian organizations after a trip there in 2015, leaders of a House oversight committee said Tuesday.

                              The congressmen also raised new questions about fees Flynn received as part of $530,000 in consulting work his company performed for a businessman tied to Turkey’s government.

                              The bipartisan accusations that Flynn may have broken the law come as his foreign contacts are being examined by other congressional committees as part of investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and potential ties between Trump associates and the Kremlin. Congress returned earlier this week from its spring recess, and Tuesday’s announcements reflected renewed interest on Capitol Hill.

                                https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...3e4_story.html
                                In case you want to read a bit more:

                                "At issue in any further inquiry is whether the Russian and Turkish entities that paid Flynn were clearly government-supported or controlled."

                                So they don't know.

                                "Flynn also disclosed to the White House that he received between $50,000 and $100,000 as part of his personal stake in $530,000 that his company, Flynn Intel Group, received for consulting work performed last year for a Turkish businessman. Flynn’s firm filed as a foreign agent last month with the Justice Department for the consulting work and acknowledged that it may have benefited the government of Turkey. Flynn’s client, Inovo BV, is owned by a Turkish businessman who is also a member of a committee overseen by Turkey’s finance ministry."


                                Nothing to see there either.


                                "Flynn received $33,750 from RT, which has been described by U.S. intelligence officials as a propaganda front for Russia’s government."


                                RT is Russia Today (a news outlet). By those standards, we could say that CNN, NBC and all the other media outlets as propaganda pieces. No crime here either.



                                Just shit reporting.
