"Q" bullshit and Jews and Blacks and Queers and "those people" who are responsible for 'corrupting' justice?

These lemmings will say/believe/do whatever they're told, and we have not heard the end of the obnoxious chant, "Lock her up", despite Flynn's conviction. What will REALLY be a repelling sight will be when Flynn gets off the hook, as we all know he will, and there will be a reprisal of "Lock her up!". . . I can guaran-fucking-tee it.

They'll stare at you for at least a full minute before screaming "BENGHAZI!!" and then refusing to "play your game."

They don't have an actual charge to make, but they also don't think one is necessary.

...the famously conservative FBI. Seriously. The FBI and DoJ have always been conservative leaning owing to the "law and order" mission of the agency. Not as conservative as the DoD, probably. But by no means is the FBI a bastion of liberalism.

And yet, line-item by line-item, the original post is completely true. And these investigations were especially detailed. They were picking fly shit out of pepper and still couldn't fin anything truly actionable on the "cleared" in the OP. Yet, they found mountains of evidence on the "guilty".

Fuck Republicans. Not all of them. But, most of them.

was watching/bugging TT. You know, like decent normal people would do.

But Trump created that big deal for one reason only...to find out if trump towers was bugged. They all slept good after they were convinced no one could hear what they said there.

My theory, anyway

I don't know if that phrase was created as a joke by the memelords (uggggggh) but trumpkins, being of weak minds, absolutely abide by it. They wouldn't recognize truth if walked up and punched them in the face.

bit of actually thinks trump is evil and the rest positioning himself.

You know what's funny though, LA, when you are the focus of the king's wrath, the news hoopla only lasts a day or two in many cases.

So if you defy the king, do just like he does! Do it on a slow news day and do it when something big is happening elsewhere.

Note: never applies to Comey, Hillary, or Obama.

otherwise decent people have in common that Bill Clinton figured out and Rush capitalizes on.

There is an endemic fear that someone they don't know gets something for nothing - which Rush blamed on liberal programs. Clinton's "Welfare to work" was a successful antidote to this idea. And of course, he was fortunate to preside during the tech boom and used that not to give to the rich but to clear the deficit. In retrospect, he was a very successful president (small r) in my view.

Seeing anyone benefit from any program is a perceived injury and reason for anger. Meanwhile they collect social security, maybe VA benefits, Medicare, etc. All of which is under attack from their party, and it is truly astounding that they cannot or will not (ie. refuse) to see that. The fear of people that are "different" than my tribe is of course an ancient and easily-stoked reaction that can get violent very quickly. This is my fear. I believe 45 is fomenting the next phase in his quest for power and domination, which will be violent. Hope I'm very wrong, but it has that distinct feel to it. Pardoning war criminals, "do anything I want" (above the law), retribution, "second amendment options", lifetime leader ("king&quot stuff, threatening career officials, etc.
