Trump is straight up nutz. A scanner?

BTW does Trump even know that ANTFA doesn't exist?

3. " I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?"

Lots of police scanners out there. Old white men love them They were popular after that song “Convoy”.

Trump is an idiot.

4. Admit it: that scanner of yours can change the weather, can't it?

Sitting off to the side of my laptop is a Radio Shack PRO-67. It's all analog, but for listening to trains and aviation, it does the job.

Just a picture and the frequency coverage; no further details.

5. He saw it on OANN so it must be true. Right?

7. Oh, God. The President Is Watching One America News Now.

I had no idea that OANN and Russia's disinformation campaign is one in the same.

But none of this was enough, apparently. Not enough subservience, not enough uncut racism. The president is diversifying his information stream to include a television channel that makes Fox News look like PBS NewsHour. The leader of the free world, we regret to report, is watching One America News Network. In fact, he has been for some time.

You may remember OANN from their various White House stunts, which often seem to be pre-coordinated with the president. One reporter from this distinguished news service attempted to defuse concerns about calling the novel coronavirus "the China virus" by asking the president if the term "Chinese food" is racist. Apparently, this was supposed to be clever. Notice in that clip how Trump spells out the OANN name for anyone who might be interested in tuning in for more of this. Symbiosis! In some cases, the president cannot help completely telegraphing that he's instructed the OANN plant to ask him about something, because while he can do reality-show improv, the president is no good with fully scripted TV.


Matt Gertz of MediaMatters dug up the segment the president subjected himself—and then the world—to this morning. It might be best described as radioactive dog shit. While it may seem like the script has been fed into an early-2000s iMac reading program—"I do. Not know. What I am reading."—it is apparently the voice of "Kristian Rouz, a Russian national also on the payroll of the Kremlin’s official propaganda outlet, Sputnik." Here's part one, if you can stomach it.

This is the toxic brew in which the president's brain has been fermenting for years now. It's the brew he would dip the whole nation in, given the chance, and there are plenty out there who still listen to him, who will follow him deeper into the abyss. But the gears of history are truly in motion now, and events have moved beyond his ability to control. He can feel his grip loosening, but he will use the strength he has left to wield these false realities as both sword and shield. His desperation will mean peril for us all, until he is removed from any position of power and authority and left to watch cable news all day with the other angry, paranoid shut-ins.

6. Trump is crazy. In CA I listened to police on my scanner. But in FL...

...where I live they have a digital trunk system, can't listen to police/fire/ems on an analog scanner.

The only comms I've found that are still analog is the sheriff's dept helicopter.

8. "...aiming scanner..." WTF?

A scanner is a receiver...of many frequencies. A scanner doesn't broadcast or jam. It couldn't black-out a baby monitor let alone police radios.

It's amazing how gullible he is parroting Rusky disinformation. His cult members probably are all on-board with it too. I'm sure he'll bring it up at his next Klan rally and get lots of cheers.

He's an idiot.

10. Check out post #7 and the link

OANN was pushing that the man's scanner recorded data from the police so they
could be tracked and attacked later.

9. Does this idiot know that a scanner and jammer are two different things? New scanners hard to mod.

.

You can buy really old scanners that are open to all frequencies or mod older scanners to pick up cellphone signals, but most of the newer ones are very difficult to modify--and that is only to receive a signal.

Also, what fucking 1960s Mayberry RD town uses police radio that is transmitted in the clear and not encrypted?
