    Aww you're just butthurt that it isn't your stupid conspiracy theory strawman.

    Clearly it hadden't turned up anything to impeach him on.
    Oh, so there is a conspiracy of republicans? Lol.

    Highlights your hypocrisy.


    but there is apparently a conspiracy of dishonest republicans that have to initiate the process.

    You legitimately just discribed a conspiracy theory. You are the most ridiculous poster on this website.

    Thank you for your post. It is an excellent example of a conspiracy theory based on invented facts. I admire your ability to twist those facts and create new ones out of thin air in such a convincing manner.

    I especially like the part where you claim that the FBI, CIA, and DOJ promoted the Steele dossier "as fact without verification in order to illegally get a FISA warrant and renew it several times afterwards in order to 'GET' Trump via any means possible." That is complete hogwash, of course, invented by right-wing Republicans in the House of Representatives, but you write it so compellingly that many gullible people probably accept it as truth. You did a masterful piece of work there. Of course, those who are not part of your intended audience know that the FBI labeled the Steele dossier as "unverified," but who cares about those people? Anyone capable of thinking analytically is a left-wing, Clinton-loving leftist.

    Then there is the closing phrase, "Pore [sic] little leftists." Anyone with basic literary skills knows that a pore is an opening in the skin, but your intended audience will not know that you do not know how to spell "poor," (they don't either) so again, congratulations on a job well done! You are a genius when it comes to deceiving the gullible!

    And, of course, we are to believe that you are privy to the investigations that are now being carried out.

    Looks like you hold yourself in excessively high esteem..

    That's idiotic. First of all, no. Each Republican makes it's own political calculation. They don't don't need to conspire. But conspiracies do exist. The fact that Republicans fabricate them every time they can't respond with real arguments (as you do here) doesn't mean that there is no such thing as conspiracies.

    And yet the only thing you have highlighted are your shortcomings in reading comprehension.

    It would be a conspiracy only in your twisted mind.

    My point on the OP was that Republicans see conspiracies everywhere. Thank you for further proving it.

    But if you really want to study conspiracies, read crap like this- a conspiracy to sell the illusion that others are selling you a conspiracy.

    Don't you just hate it when you need a backhoe just to dig through the garbage and get some facts?
    There's none here, folks. Keep digging.

    the ability to see through bologna isn't really that high of esteem. You set the bar pretty low must be a Freudian slip.


    there's not really any argument there's the wishful thinking that this Russia probe will do anything but it's not factual you can't formulate an argument on it you first have to prove it so the investigation has to be complete for there to be valid argument for it.


    and we have the ad hominem.

    Noyour point is in the op that when someone says something that is alleged with little to no evidence is not true isn't believable then it's there for conspiracy.

    That is a straw man. That is mischaracterizing something to create a false argument that's easy to defeat but I don't think you know what a straw man fallacy is either.

    As much hatred is there is for Trump if anyone had to anything they would have slammed him with it.

    They thought they had something with Stormy Daniels turns out no one cares. Good old Bill Clinton set the standard that apublic officials personal life doesn't matter.

    Hah! You just made up a non-existent conspiracy in less than 2 lines?

    You guys can't help yourselves, can you? It's so "second-nature" to you that you don't even notice it. But, here you are.... proving me right..

    Reasonable enough, but it leaves out good description of the conspiracy fact.

    Independently verified evidence.

    It is clear the way I stated it. The PURPOSE of free speech serves the intent of the constitution discussion upon left and right does not. Presenting things out of context and pretending to be confused is a trait of a covert agent.


    Okay, you are okay with criminal politics. Evasion, hmm, agents can be like that too.


    I've explained the difference for the pretender, confuser, evader.

    Yes. One way of proving a conspiracy that does not involve the flawed thinking of a conspiracy theorist is to have a legitimate investigation. As far as the Mueller investigation goes, we will just have to wait and see. It seems unlikely that we know the full details at this time.

    See there- you did it again. They should give you an award, but that would probably be a conspiracy too...

    You were trolled by someone who is literate. That's not quite the same thing. I also corrected your misstatement of fact, but you conveniently cut that off in your quote. As is well known, name calling is what people resort to when they've been shown to be wrong but lack the self confidence to admit it.

    That is an excellent analysis. I wish I had written it. I add that a large number of posts in this forum start with a conclusion and then add shaky evidence to support it.

    Sadly, Mueller has a clouded history with 9/11. But, now, maybe he's okay, dunno.

    Never touch the stuff. Can't get it anyway since the DNC cornered the market in November of 2016.
