Rush Limbaugh thinks entire Russian scandal is based on nothing more than the Steele dossier...

...which everybody knows is fake.

He went on to explain the "pee tape" with a detailed explanation about a room that was once rented by Barack and Michelle being rented by Trump with some prostitutes doing the golden showers on the same bed that Barack and Michelle had slept in.

Of course, he said the Democrats were deeply divided because Chuck and Nancy had agreed to work with Trump. Then he had some "polls" that showed Republicans were much more favorable of him working with the Democrats than the Democrats are with their Party working with Trump?

1. Interesting. He's gone away from his "THERE'S NOTHING HERE" standard line

Sounds like he told it so his listeners could get a kick out of the idea.

Them plausible deniability by saying they are stupid or misinformed. We know they know they are lying to us.
Words matter. Gloves off.

The "Rub Their Noses in It" phase? Rush can now tell his listeners that there was a Russian scandal, that everyone in the GOP was involved, and that there is absolutely nothing the Dems can do about it. Everybody laugh at the Dems.

All they do is push our buttons, and they can only drive us so crazy. I think it's best to ignore them at this point - it will be good for our collective sanity.

Who but a Republican would want to work with T-Rump? It appears they pursued a false hope.

12. I laughed that the subject line said "rush limbaugh thinks"

He does

He propagandizes.

He incites.

He's a rabble-rouser and shit-thrower.

14. Sometimes I wonder if the GOP really knows or cares what they are outraged about.

Because what Limbaugh is saying proves he's completely ignorant on the subject. The only thing the GOP does now is provoke liberals, and you can only poke the hornet's nest so long before all hell is unleashed. All he cares about is that big fat paycheck.

15. He doesn't think that. He just says that.

He wants his mindless audience to hear that message. It's a preemptive strike planting the seeds of doubt. Everyone knows that smoke has a fire underneath it. Even that blow hard
