Christ looking at the birthdates for some of these barbies, they're barely into their 30s. I would have guessed 40ish for many of them. I guess gobblin' Trump's knob day in and day out ages you prematurely.

I hear Kellyanne Conway is actually 28

Looks like trump bought the wrong drug.

So now that it's been discovered that russiagate was ultimately a coup instigated by the Obama administration, fueled by the corrupt DNC, does anybody think that the impartial (LOL) media who spent three years non-stop pushing this conspiracy will devote twenty minutes of investigative journalism to break this story?

^My god you're a clown.

With Trump's polling numbers in the floor right now, "Obamagate" is now the new diversion tactic. Trump's playbook is so obvious, it's clear as day, you fools fall for it hook, line, and sinker.

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020...bi-russia.html

Even key Republicans are saying Trump is out to lunch trying to push this insane conspiracy.

There is no bottom floor to this man, we are literally in cult territory here.

Is Jimmy Dore a fool or a clown as well? He certainly isn't conservative, a republican, or a Trump supporter, yet he is often indirectly and sometimes directly defending Trump in the name of sanity.

When you say key Republicans, do you mean establishment Republicans? Trump is a populist and doesn't immediately fall in lock step with the establishment. Makes sense that they aren't going to back him anytime he threatens the establishment and the corruption in government. I don't put any stock in those who defend the corrupt establishment.

Jimmy Dore did a fine job questioning the narrative of the media and corrupt Democrats.

Without straining that big vacancy of yours, try and see if you can recall who the VP of that administration was.

Three years of russiagate hype=important

CNN -the most trusted name in news

The Hill is actually a pretty good anti-establishment show. Saagar used to work for Brietbart, but his Co host actually worked for MSNBC before being blasted off for supporting Bernie over Hillary in 2016. One of the sources of media that I actually approve of @welfare sourcing.

No other president ever had to blame everything that went wrong for them on a past president........... it’s not a stretch to see that Trump never takes responsibility for anything that goes wrong on his watch and it’s ALWAYS someone else’s fault.

We all know or have come across someone like this in our own lives, and they’re shit to be around / work around.

This just in: current administration blames the previous government for current problems. More at 11.

It's just Trump though.

In reality, it goes both ways. ie: look at the outcry and blame placed on Trump for the 'kids in cages' stories. Trump Derangement Syndrome and Orange Man Bad sufferers fail to recognize or refuse to acknowledge that those cages were built under the Obama administration. They even used a picture of kids in cages, in their attack on Trump, which was taken during the Obama presidency.

Are you trying to tell me Trump is petty?

The DNC fabricated a Russian conspiracy, leaked 'intel' of that conspiracy to the press to corroborate their lies, colluded with the FBI to carry out this lie, all to delegitimize trumps win because they needed an excuse as to why they lost.
Sorry but that goes far beyond trumps daily exhibitions of pettiness.
And do you think there'll be a word from the DNC or MSM about it? They waited six weeks to bring up the VERY credible allegations of essentially rape, against Biden, while it was non stop 'believe all women' for months on end when Kavanaugh was accused of far less with absolutely no evidence but her word.
The poetic justice is that their hypocrisy is what has and will continue to allow trump to win.
This is what the 'grassroots' lefties like Kyle Kulinsky, Jimmy Dore, Krystal Ball et al understand.
They rail against corporate dems and legacy media even harder than most right wingers do. Because they correctly square blame for trumps win(s) where they should be.

November 8, 2016. What a peculiar date to request the unmasking of Mike Flynn...

Name calling isn’t necessary, I know unit in real life and he’s probably one of the most thoughtful, introspective and considerate people I’ve ever met and has done a lot of cultural based travel experiences as well. He’s far from empty minded.

You're right. I apologize for that comment, unit. Honestly. It was uncalled for and juvenile.

You're a clown welfare, and I'll keep saying it, one day I hope to meet you and say it to your face.

This Obamagate crap is utterly ridiculous, nonsensical and stupid, you people literally push these esoteric conspiracy theories, and then expect someone to debate you on it.

What's next, a flat Earth discussion?

Let me ask you something, why do you have so much faith in Trump? When the man can't even tell the public any specifics about this conspiracy theory he's selling to his sycophantic base?

How do you have so much blind trust in a man that is an admitted and proven, constant liar?

That's what I don't understand about you minions, this blind faith in a PROVEN liar, it's not even a debate how untruthful Trump is on a daily basis here. You'll never meet the man, yet even his own friends call him a pathological liar.

What is it about this man, and his agenda that strikes you so strongly?

I believe it was the previous administration that liked to leak intel of ongoing investigations that were fabricated. As we're now discovering.
And just like your long winded, unintelligible post, the media has refuted nothing.

But if you don't like the Trump administration investigating the previous administrations lies, maybe you'll feel better about Mexico doing it.

Just want to say good on you welfare for immediately apologising. Insulted multiple times (not the first time either), even on the same page as your own misstep, and you still keep it civil. It's unfortunate these discussions have to be derailed like this. It seems to be more common these days to insult and even advocate physical assault towards those we disagree with, rather than respectful, civil discord.

accepted!

i think maybe this is a good time to just say that RS is somewhere that i come back to because it's a little more familiar in terms of users than somewhere like reddit. been on here for like almost 20 years, made a few friends, said a LOT of stupid shit, and even though it's not what it used to be i still keep checking it, some years more than others. no matter the topic, i think mature discussion without ad hominem attacks should be expected here (unless you're in fight club). i've disagreed with lots of users here, and then later got to sort of know or understand them and realized that i was wrong about my assumptions. online forums are not always the greatest at representing one's true character and i always try to remember that when reading RS.

Hand to god i was actually considering taking back that comment prior to 68 posting. I knew unit had never made any direct derogatory remarks towards me, that i can recall anyways. Not that i think it should have really warranted that regardless.
So after seeing 68's post i guess that was a sign. One that probably shouldn't have needed to be shown.
