  1. Yea, but look how neatly she squeaked it in from out of nowhere. The investigation absolutely wasn't a hoax or there wouldn't have been a budget for it.

  2. Yea, but that was just good clean fun from the Washington elite, they didn't mean anything by it. Trump should be a better sport. After all, they could have produced a pee-stained sheet! With eye holes.
     
  3. What's to agree with? It's not my theory. It's plausible I guess, but I don't know if the democrats would risk pulling such a weird stunt. How could they possibly hope to keep it from leaking out? Washington is a sieve.

    I do think a plan B would be prudent anyway, as bus insurance for Joe. Maybe a Buttigieg/Gabbard ticket waiting in the wings. .....to dreammmm, the impossible dreammmm
     
  4. I saw that, it didn't look like a slip of the tongue either. She looked like someone who has delivered that whole speech before. I can see why she's in media.

    So it’s the spreading of gossip or fake news –that you never intended to debate - I’ll remove it then

    Look it is very old trick

    It begins with ‘I found this’ ‘I’ve heard’, ‘been told’ or ‘some people say’ then followed by some statement.

    For example let’s say – ‘I’ve heard that ************ is a paid employee of a right wing campaign group’

    If asked to back it up the rely would be something along the lines of ‘I don’t know, i'm not saying i agree or disagree, it’s just something I heard it’s not my theory but it is interesting to think about’

    And the beauty of the trick is that even if ************ denies it the reply can be ‘well he would say that wouldn’t he’

    I'm sure you agree thats not honest debating it is just a way of putting out fake news or smears without having to back it up or defend it. As such these types of post may find themselves been deleted.

    Sorry when something begins with 'Deep State-media complex' you should realise you have stepped in to a conspiracy theory website.

    This is the first line of its Wikipedia page

    The Gateway Pundit is an American far-right news and opinion website. The website is known for publishing falsehoods and spreading hoaxes.[5]

    If people genuinely wish to debate they are welcome - but if not and only post in Politics to spread lies, fake news and culture war propaganda that they then refuse to discuss or debate they are not welcome and their posts may be deleted and if they persist in trying to be disruptive then other measures might need to be taken.

    I asked Balbus to come back and clean up the politics threads.

    These forums were created to debate politics, from a point of view that is quite liberal. We are NOT a conservative site that would want to promote the Republican viewpoint. This site was created by hippies with peace and love as the ultimate goal, not commercialism, capitalism or fascism.

    Being a privately owned website, we are concerned that some may be using this as a platform to promote ideals that are not in line with our guiding principles... peace, and love for all and the planet being our home, not something to be raped and abused.

    If you are here to simply argue and not discuss, you may be booted out.

    I volunteered to be apart of the democratic nomination convention. I'm just not sure it's gonna have that experience of the "wow" I imagined. I was hoping for a yes to Mikey, and no Lo Pan.

    The re-pukes are getting desperate. The number of conspiracy theories about Obama and Ben Ghazi are on the rise again. They need to deflect charges against their own imbecilic leadership.

    What Trump needs is the real Hillary Clinton to go after and just maybe his conspiracy theories might gain some traction, Obamagate, Seriously?

  15. This sure seems oddly personal. I'd stay and debate it, but I don't agree.

    so, I just read that Barr said that Obama, and Biden are not under criminal investigation. If they were, there would be severe backlash.
    I digress however. Don't these baseless accusations, by trump, prove that he is mentally ill?
    No thinking person should reelect any sitting republican in congress.

    Why are you deflecting – I ask for you to answer some simple questions with regards to ‘I heard’ statements and your are saying its ‘personal’ that make no sense.

    Can you please explain your thinking?

    The way I remember it, Obama did not want to take sides between Hillary and Trump. He stayed out of it. And Jim Comey did interfere by starting an investigation of Hillary 3 weeks before the election, then saying she did nothing wrong two days before the voting day. We can see how that helped Trump, because early absentee voters would have ben persuaded to vote for the one who was not under investigation. What Comey did was very unfair. Trump got lots of help to push him over the hill.

    I see it a lot. its a compendium of opinion pieces from various news outlets both Right and Left.

    They have pieces from the NY Times, Vanity Fair, Vox and the New Yorker.

    Real Clear's own writers are conservative tho. I had never heard of Washington Examiner and Washington Free Beacon until I saw them on Real Clear Politics.

    He'll say anything to add to the quagmire which he has created. He said he would drain the swamp. BY now everyone knows he has made the swamp much bigger, and full of cronyism. Trump has ruined and disrupted most of our federal agencies to the point they are unable to serve the public. The EPA, CDC, HUD, BLM, and now the DOJ are all dis-functional. We need to ask: WHY? Why is he out to ruin all government agencies?
