Major bombshell coming from house intelligence memo regarding Fusion GPS and Russia.

[Orbitus]

You mean the Russian bots that have been empirically shown to be roaring via referenced research in this very thread.

Directed at you.
That you ignored.

Because nobody is talking about the memo, except Russian Bots and the Trumpkins.

Because those of us in the reality based community have seen this movie before and know how it ends.

Here I'll even repost for you.

Now the bots are trying to say this is a Schumer Shutdown along with the releasethememo bullshit hashtags.

This whole memo is likely nothing but right-wing BS that Nunes helped draft to help Trump.

Pretty much. What I really don't get though is how this sort of thing works on them every time. I mean we had the nunes unmasking thing. We had the Seth Rich thing. We had the Obama wire tap thing. Etc. Etc. Etc. Every single time it turns out to be complete bullshit. So you'd think that after x times they would realize that "Hey, the republicans are doing it again. They are selling me bullshit again" but apparently not. For some reason every single time they willingly swallow the bullshit they have been fed, and I just don't get it. I really don't. A person with even an extremely low IQ at some point has to cotton on to what's happening. But they don't. They never ever do, and I find it impossible to understand.

It's not an issue of IQ. It's an issue of delusions.

These people don't live in reality. They want to live in a world where they are victim and everyone is an enemy they must fight.

It depends on which "they" we're talking about.

If we mean "they", the vast majority of Republican voters/supporters out there, we have to keep in mind that most people do not immerse themselves into the day-to-day developments, very high resolution movements of the Trump-Russia investigation. It's far more abstract to them than to us. We're in the most involved group essentially, and most of America is not us. That is why these Republican schemes carry credibility: because absent that very narrative you've described that makes clear these ARE schemes and equally makes clear the depth of the Trump-Russia conspiracy against the US, the question shifts to "why shouldn't they believe people like Devin Nunes and Sean Hannity", especially when they agree with them on most other issues?

This is one of the biggest challenges the Mueller investigation will face. To people like us, the bar to putting Trump in handcuffs is pretty low. We know, insofar as public information is concerned, much of what went on between Trump and Russia. It's enough to indict, by virtue of what lawyers have said, certainly for Obstruction, probably much more. But the public at large is still naive about its details, so when Meuller presses his case, he will face a very serious legitimacy problem unless it is presented in such a way that is digestable to every day Americans. It will be a disaster for the country, and the cause, if it is done in a purely legalese fashion. Sure. Use that to finish the job. But the public case, as a public prosecutor, must be in something that even people with just some high school educations, can understand.

Then there is the "they", in the sense of the Trumpkins spreading this stuff. They're willing participants. They know it's bullshit; they aren't stupid. They know it's illegitimate. They know its lies. And they do it anyway. Why? Because what they want, whatever that is, they reckon outweighs the moral compromise it takes to make that lie. They get to the end, work backwards and justify.

This is not uncommon. This is how authoritarian regimes always take shape. Sure you got a clique of powerful people at the core, but they are enabled by a much larger group of people who think they can capitalize on that group of people to advance their agenda.

[Jeezy911]

You seem so excited about this, why not share a few details? Clearly you have some info source the rest of us don't.

Patiently waiting on the release.

[Cthulhu 2020]

You'll be waiting awhile. This memo is more shell than bomb.

I'm sure for the people who end up in jail it will feel more like a bomb.

Imaginary liburaallz?!

Yeah I agree. Trump’s sons will feel like they got hit with an atom bomb once Mueller is done reaming the Trump crime family.

So... this is it? Or isn't?

Literally just more of the Strzok emails showing that (gasp horror) he has private opinions about Trump and the election. What kind of monster has those?

[Cthulhu 2020]

Trumpkins have been shaking their fists that this memo will implicate every anti-Trump person involved with the investigation.

Democrats and moderates keep saying #releasethememo.

Wonder why it's still secret and Trumpkins keep saying it's going to be the biggest bombshell against anti-Trumpers...

Maybe because it sounds far more threatening than the reality.

Incidently, FBI just notified that 5 months of Strzok-Page messages after elections were "failed to be preserved" (up to appointment of special counsel).

...which is sure to fuel more Republican conspiracy theories and calls for second special counsel.

Incidentally being the key word.

Uninteresting being another.

Well, plenty of things failed to be preserved that should have been; both coverup and incompetence are explanations that don't look that good.

And they're explanations that you've fabricated.

Obviously.

Any time an FBI agent so much as farts in the general direction of the White House we'll have calls for an investigation.

[Cthulhu 2020]

Funny how these conspiracies about the Mueller investigation (or Obama's "spying" on citizens during the 2016 election) always start out heavily pushed by the known Russians on these forums.

Then every Trumpkin picks it up and starts parroting it as if they thought of it.

I'm waiting for Trumpkins to have an independent thought that doesn't rely on someone else saying it first... but I'm not holding my breath, else I'd suffocate. Doomsday is probably coming before the Trumpkins think for themselves.

Can we just shut down Russians access to twitter? they aren't playing nicely.

It is pretty curious why Russians seem so deeply involved in our American politics, and pro-Trump at that, meanwhile pretty much every nationality seems like a spectator at best, and disinterested otherwise.
