Anyone who reads/watches/listens to any of these can't be taken seriously.

What is not so funny is how the GOP discredits our institutions that are investigating corruption at the highest levels. In so doing, they become sheeple to Russian bots and other lunatics, like Sean Hannity and Alex Jones.

Is this the irony equivalent of post-modernism?

Is it post-irony when someone starts a thread accusing an entity of "conspiracy and outlandish theories" and for "losing its grip with all reality" and then quickly concludes that in doing so they are "Sheeple to Russian bots".

Serisouly, is this intentional satire?

It reads like a Tonight Show skit.

The Left needs to take their medication. They don't realize how utterly unhinged they sound, if not for their views than for the way they can't detect their own insane rapid fire contradictions.

Thing is, they will still believe it, just like most conservatives still believe Obama was born in Kenya and Hillary was involved in a child prostitution ring beneath some Pizza shop in DC.

That is correct and that is why they are easily manipulated by conspiracy theories.

Trump's problem is by continually feeding his "Core Base" is alienating the rest of "American Citizens" regardless of their Political affiliations. This has been shrinking.. and there is no way the Avid Base can overcome the rest of the voters to win any election.

With, DJT ands unhinged and ridiculous tweets, marginalizing a great portion of his COUNTRY (never mind what he has done alienating alliance Countries.. The House could very well be taken back from GOP and of course the Senate only needs to flip a few to become Majority there. DJT in the WH will become that empty suit.. most likely get impeached and Pence (IF not found culpable in Russia-Gate) will limp into 2020 election cycle.

Conspiracy Theories is not an unknown ploy in Politics and majority recognize it. Let's just hope Congress Folks get held accountable for their active role in propaganda based on unfounded facts.. PLUS my biggest wish would be that the FBI charges all these Transgressors be CHARGED with Defamation !!!

What?

Alex Jones flogged the "9/11 was an inside job" conspiracy. Though I am at a loss at what exactly you would call Alex Jones, but liberal sure isn't it.

I don't know who told you JFK was assassinated by Bush Sr., but I've never heard any liberals push this. IIRC, Trump said Ted Cruz's father was involved with JFK's assassination. But I don't know if its worth believing anything he says. Anyway, he's not a liberal, at least not today.

Republicans making American concentration camps under Bush? Who told you that? Gitmo is not a conspiracy, it's an actual place. Shameful as it is, I don't think it's a concentration camp.

Liberals know exactly what Benghazi was -- two years of Trey Gowdy pushing a bunch of BS to smear Clinton. He eventually admitted that there was no way American forces could have gotten there in time. Two years, endless hearings, millions of dollars on a partisan witch hunt.

If you are hearing this BS from others on the unit, tell the staff.

But no need to post lies here.

We've got plenty enough as it is.

This FBI scandal has to be big if its brought out such a defensive response to spin it from the left posters like this. They're going nuts trying to play this down.
