President Trump has accused former President Obama of... something:
In a string of tweets posted early Saturday morning, President Trump let loose a barrage of accusations at his predecessor. He alleged that former President Obama had his "wires tapped" in Trump Tower before Election Day last year, accusing Obama of "McCarthyism" and being a "bad (or sick) guy."
Trump, who is under significant scrutiny for his administration's contacts with Russia before he took office, offered no evidence to support his claims Saturday morning. Neither the White House nor Obama's office has responded immediately to NPR's requests for comment.
[...] Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wire tapping" a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017I'd bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!

"Demena"? Short for "dementia"? Well now that we all know who you are and what your background is, (not a native English speaker, I am guessing, hmm, immigrant, or just foreigner? Russkie?) we will all give your comment the weight it deserves. (My Good, is there a Full Moon in the offing? But that would be more "Lunacy" than "Demena".)
Yours, AC (We are Legion!)

There used to be a rule on the green pages that you could be banned for mocking someone's handle or name. It was a good rule.
You post as anonymous coward and that long with the ad hominem attacks show your nature and worth.

And so when I defend the good name of Anonymous Coward, you get your panties all up in a bunch?
It was a good rule.
What are these green pages of which you speak? Are they similar to the yellow pages? Or some kind of stamps? Of all the things you have lost, do you miss your mind the most?

How long is your ad hominem? I really do not have the time nor the patience to point out to you the total ignorance of your original response, but I can tell you that it is not an ad hominem to point out that you are being a dick. It is just pointing out that you are being a dick. Stop that, or we may have to send you back to Bedlam.

What "green pages" are you referring to?
Because, as someone with a 4-digit uid on slashdot, I call bullshit on that lie.
Too bad there wasn't a rule about banning whiny little bitches though.

An Anonymous coward does not get to call bullshit on anything.

Oh, and FWIW, I am a native English speaker and if you are American then you are not.

I will have to take your word for this, however strangely put together your English words may be. Brit, eh? But then wot? Northern, Midlands, Anglo-Saxon? Pict, Gael, or Briton? By the way, for what it is worth on the other end, I am no American. So what was your insightful point you were trying to make before you got all caught up in the hurt feefees?

I'm not hurt. I am amused that you think trying to hurt someone is a valid argument.
The insightful point is that I _am_ a native English speaker and you were as wrong about that as you are about everything else.

Fucking demented Auzzie! Get the fuck out! You and your goddamned Dingo! You descendent of criminals! You scum and filth of the British Empire! You have the gall to accuse Americans of not speaking English? And you claim you are not hurt! All of us ACs, the Five Thousand Plus of us here on SoylentNews, feel your pain. We can smell the fear within you! You want to be a Trump supporter, but you cannot, since your Magesties Government prohibits it! So sad. Valid argument? If all you can bring to the table is your ignorant misinterpretation of American politics, I suggest you go on Walkabout. I am not trying to hurt you, you are hurting yourself with your own unacknowledged ignorance. This is what Walkabout is for. Never been, have you?
Insultingly yours,
AC
P.S. Try harder later. Bandicoots await you where the green ants dream.

I should stop this but you are too entertaining. Do you even remember what it was all about? With an AC here and an AC there (everywhere an AC) only Trump could follow it all... Most Australian indulge in walkabout although it is more often Flyabout nowadays. Why is why many Australians are a little more aware of world issues and politics than many Americans. Travel broadens the mind at the expense of your backside. Try it sometime.
