I wish we all knew more. Someday amazing books will be written about all of this.



He has been AWOL for sometime now. Someone else has been hosting his show for over a month now.
He got off on the Q thing and instead of informer, he turned into a follower.
The guy is old and likes his scotch.

And a funny quote I found on Reddit:

"If I tell the truth, I go to prison for crime! If I lie, I go to prison for perjury!
Damn the FBI for trapping me in a web of my own deceit!"
Plus he created the Swiftboaters for Truth matter against John Kerry.

It was Hillary that started the Obama birther conspiracy theory. Saying otherwise doesn't make it so. And Obama himself was to blame for keeping it alive to use it for his own advantage.

wrong.


altho clinton supporters ( the PUMAs ) were among the early birthers neither clinton or her campaign did anything to promote birtherism.

how exactly? what tangible action do you think obama could have taken to end birtherism? he released his birth certificate in june 2008, the facts of his birth were confirmed by the HI department of health in october 2008 and supported by the 1961 HI birth index that is now, and has always been, open to the public. all evidence after that ( contemporaneous newspaper announcements, confirmation from multiple directors of health and state officials, the "long-form" birth certificate...) only escalated the conspiracy theory.

And did Trump jump on the "birther" bandwagon and attempt to use it to his advantage?

Yes, and as soon as it wasn't to his advantage any longer, he dropped it.

When your adversaries give you a gift like that, you use it.

the staffer claimed that obama was a muslim, not that he was born in kenya. in fact the email that got her fired specifically stated that obama was born in hawaii.

Trump is smart like that.
He dropped it after it had been debunked about a thousand times over and he was looking like a fool and a liar to keep pushing it. So yes, he was smart to decide to stop looking like a fool and a liar.

The ABC story doesn't mention anything about collusion with Russia. Contacting Assange about e-mails Assange had is not a crime.
