The right-wing cult media narrative is now changing from "nothing burger" to "Trump is being framed by the derp state."

That's what happens when the evidence against you becomes overwhelming and incontrovertible.

Guccifer 2.0 sounds exactly like the kind of dumb ass name that a GRU agent would come up with. These people are goons, about as cultured as your average Trump child.

For the record, while I started the previous thread in question, the VIPS report was debunked rather quickly, so yes I believe Guccifer 2.0/Russia GRU hacked the DNC and attempted additional hacks on Clinton campaign, Clinton email server and RNC.

It is funny listening/seeing conservatives whine about the pace of the Mueller investigation when it took years for Ken Starr to investigate a BJ in the oval office and and what happened after that. Mueller has already accomplished more on the criminal front than Starr ever did. Any more nothing burger and your stomach is going to explode.

I really find it ironic that Bannon and other Alt Right paranoids have concocted this fantasy of the Deep State, exaggerated to the degree they never worked in a large organization or institution. They believe this story of the Deep State.

But they don't believe that a psy-war campaign could shift the outcome of an election, or they stamp their feet with the defense of a legal "lack of proof." They may not even believe that they individually could be influenced by such a campaign: "I'm smart; I'm not average; I'm independent . . ." etc. Or they somehow think it is fantastic imagination to suspect -- or even prove -- that "their" candidate -- their beloved candidate -- is a Manchurian candidate, prodded into place by the "Deep State" of the Russian GRU and Putin.

There is only one explanation for this type of incongruous thinking. It is called "insanity." Even stupid people are capable of more consistent logic in their grasp of the real world.

The be fair, hooking up with Putin and GRU IS the only way to beat the rigged system. It is sorta rigged on both sides now. On both sides. Its only fair.

Doubling down on stupid I see.

Meanwhile Trump has hired a lawyer to argue he was framed.

This went from "nothing burger" to "I was framed" while you weren't looking.

Felix is a Russian or a guy who has unknowingly read so much RT that he is acting like a Russian.
Literally everything he posts is designed to separate people.

I don't think for one minute that Bannon believes in the "deep state". I think he, like so many mouth pieces and puppet masters on that side know exactly what is happening and how to manipulate their gullible and easily trigger base .

If anything, Bannon and Prince and Manafort and the rest of the Mercers are the true deep state and functioning as essentially political assassins and some shady geopolitical and deep data shit .

Put him and Brandon bull on your ignore list and your Forum life will be much less frustrating. Their existence is to incite and divide and you will never change or engage them in anything meaningful. Ignore and don't empower them.

That's just "Deep State" bullshit couched in different terms. It also fails to account for Russian intent which isn't to MAGA at all.

I may, I haven’t gotten there yet. I will say the ignore function works very well.

actually, it took Ken Starr years to investigate Whitewater and other "vile Clinton crimes," and found nothing. Not a single thing. Then he turned that investigation towards BJs and infidelity, because he refused to come away empty-handed. All Republicans gathered together and bukkaked themselves over his work, and declared it good.

Yea man, if they haven't found anything out in a year, they never will. Look at watergate, that shit was wrapped up in a week, or iran contra, or the btk crime spree. If shit ain't wrapped up in a year, it's time to move on, so says the fucking poseur

If you had a bunch of ne'er-do-wells trying to prove a big nothing burger against you wouldn't you get a lawyer?

Derp.

Just because I dont buy the collusion delusion doesnt make me any different than you. I've been American longer than you've been alive.

Its also funny that you try to accuse people of the exact same thing you do. No wait, it isn't funny. Its delusional.
