Bugged

 Bugging


“The NSA is already bugging everything

everybody does.”--Geoffrey Hinton


Richard Nixon

taped

every conversation

in the

Oval Office.


Ironically,

he eavesdropped

himself,

and it was

those audio tapes

that sunk

his Presidency.


One of the first

conspiracy theories
that Trump

promulgated

was that

President Obama

had bugged

his headquarters;

just another 

damn lie.

I hope there are recordings coming out someday that will doom the vile man.

Kim M. Russell said...

If everybody is bugging everyone else, where are they storing all those recordings? And when will we get to listen to them? I hope Trump does the same as Nixon. That would be ironic!

The day is not far when this odious man will get what he deserves. A powerful write, Glenn! 💝

So many lies emanating from the White House. I fear his mindless minions may re-elect him.

Sorry I didn't mean to eavesdrop on so many people of lies about my President, at the very least he doesn't believe in killing babies.

I notice many of the crazymakers are not even American. LOL!

There is enough recorded dirt on Drumpf to grow football fields of tomatoes from sea to shining sea. It seems nobody wants to hold him accountable. November isn't far away and will be a pivotal moment not only in American history but in global history.

The man IS a bug. Time to swat.

Too many lies and it will bring down his presidency. I hope that the coming elections will exposed him.

Truedessa said...

just another lie amongst the many he has told. Wake up America!

Ingrid said...

Too many damn lies to count from that man. May they end soon! I have a horrible feeling they won't though, as lies seem to be all the rage these days...

Love the illustrations. Yep -- the tapes did Nixon in. When the occupant first ran for office, we heard the tape from inside the trailer about him grabbing the xxxxx of women - in his voice. That would surely do him in. Nope. Then there was rumor that somewhere, hidden away, there were reels of unseen video from The Apprentice that would show his horrific behavior toward women and contestants in general - but alas it never "materialized". Now there are sources, corroborated by many news agencies, of his true disdain for service men and women; and yesterday we heard him condemn his generals for wanting war to get more money in the coffers of corporations who build the weapons etc.....For too long this has been the "teflon" guy. BUT, teflon was finally seen to be flaking off pots and pans and, indeed, to be dangerous for humans....there is hope. Perhaps we've peeled enough of his crap so those who did not vote in 2016, or those who voted for him because they couldn't vote for Hillary, will now vote for decency. I have hope. And if not, there may be a mass migration to Canada!

It's all become so taxing, hasn't it? Well done Glenn.

And Trump spoke willing on tape to Woodward. Can't make this stuff up!
