        But since this doesn't fit your narrative, I'm sure you'll breezily dismiss it.
        conspiracy nut!

        And who has the Attorney General of the US and the Secretary of State chasing down internet conspiracy fodder from Giuliani?

        And who is 'ALL IN' with the same?


        Talk about projection!


        I'm the guy thinking Nixon was behind the Watergate break-in after the tapes came out

          His theory is that Trump is a criminal mastermind. This decision was made back in 2016. Once you realize this, it makes sense. Jumping from one conspiracy theory to the next because there is no evil Trump is not capable of performing is just the logical conclusion of this belief system.

            Lying about a person's position is - well - lying.

            Pixie Just lied about me - there I said it.

            I have NEVER put forward any comment stating or implying what you just said.



            Stop LYING Pix.

            See how low you have gone? Now, instead of arguing a point, you must LIE and make up things.

            What does it say pix when you have reached so far down that your entire post is a LIE.

            • While many have claimed that Trump is a criminal (with a felony shout-out from SDNY the most recent example) and some have claimed that Trump is a mastermind (setting a fairly low bar, I'd say), few have gone so far as to label Trump a criminal mastermind.

                Looks like I hit the nail right on the head. If I’m wrong answer this:

                Is there any thing that Trump has been accused of doing that you believe is false?
                Can you point to a single time that Trump has been accused of doing something we’re you didn’t jump in to give a guilty verdict?

                I don’t think Clinton is a mass killer nor do I believe Obama is a secret Muslim. Is there any evil you don’t think Trump is capable of doing? Yes or no?

                  There have been a few - not many - but a few. I don't recall what they were. But I've said to my wife when it came on the news - (paraphrase) "they a making something out of nothing there".

                  Can you point to a single time that Trump has been accused of doing something we’re you didn’t jump in to give a guilty verdict?
                  In the discussions I've participated in, I have actually said "This was a good thing" a few times. The bad so outweighs the good that it's hard to remember what they were, but there have been a few.



                  I don’t think Clinton is a mass killer nor do I believe Obama is a secret Muslim. Is there any evil you don’t think Trump is capable of doing? Yes or no?
                  I would have no idea what Trump, Or Clinton, or Obama is ultimately capable of. But I can answer "Do I think Trump's character is the sort of character that would do whatever is necessary to protect himself over the good of the country". And the reality is - I don't need to speculate and that, he has already made clear that is exactly the case.

                      IIRC, one of the people putting forward the 'mastermind' theory on a regular basis (at least as regards manipulation of the media) is MM.

                        Pee tape.

                        One has to consider that the accusations against Trump (secret coordination/business dealings with Putin, campaign finance violations in paying off a woman he was having sex with while his third wife was nursing his newborn son, obstructing justice) pretty much all have a rational foundation in really good empirical evidence ... while accusations against Clinton or Obama trended toward "secret pedophile ring under a pizza parlor" or "secret Muslim Marxist who was really born in Kenya".

                        In short, there's a distinction between the kinds of things Trump gets accused of and the kinds of things Clinton/Obama/etc. get accused of and that distinction reveals something meaningful about the people and parties who advance 'em.

                          Ah, the genius of this man! Moriarty wept, and also the Borgias, and also Jesus, although that may have been for unrelated reasons. His is the shrewdness of Alexander the Great, cutting through the Gordian knot. He has the vision to cut through things, even if the things he is cutting through say “THIS IS LOAD-BEARING, DON’T CUT." He dares to push the buttons labeled “DO NOT PUSH: WON’T DO ANYTHING GOOD, AND WILL RELEASE OPOSSUM." There is no puzzle, norm or rule of whatever degree of complexity he cannot immediately dismantle with a single movement.

                              No they don’t Sam. A few of those things I do believe, but most don’t. Don’t worry, you can run away to your safe space soon so all your buddies can confirm everything you believe.

                                Paying off women he slept with, for one. Being a womanizer, for two. Being generally immoral, for three. I wouldn’t want to hang out with Trump or work directly for him either.

                                There you go, lots of bad stuff, now your turn. Name a bad thing you don’t believe.
