If there's anyone in this country who seriously believes there's any chance at all of finding common ground and becoming a functional society again, all they have to do is read this thread. The entire Republican base - the core of the Trump demographic, 1/3 of the country - is stark raving mad. Pizzagate, martial law, media conspiracies... the entire Republican base is nothing but a pack of gibbering, drooling, barking-mad lunatics.

There is no dealing with them, no reconciling - they need to be institutionalized and lobotomized, period. Working with lunatics like this can never be an option.

Are you right here and now asserting pizzagate is a real thing? I just want to make sure we both know what your stance is.

So there is no question about it my stance is that it was a hoax, and as someone else mentioned it could have been one of the many fake news items first promoted by the Russian fake news program, although it does not matter ultimately. I don't know who started it but it was a very malicious joke, and the story morphed as it was repeated! ... sort of a prank teenagers might pull. It is funny (and sad) that it lured in and hooked so many mature adults.

Im sure we would all be disgusted if we heard some of things brought up at the Bohemian Grove annual meetings!

Not when it's completely nonsense with no logic behind it. Not every tinfoil hat conspiracy theory has merit nor is it deserving of investigation. Some things are too stupid to investigate. Like a conspiracy that claims things are happening in a basement that DOES NOT EXIST.

This is how fake news spreads. People WANT to believe something because it fits their narrow-minded world view, so they cling to any story that supports it. Even when all logic and facts prove otherwise, they'll still cling to it because they cannot handle the fact that they are so unquestionably wrong.

Excellent Idea.

LOL.

So, If people actually believe that it's all just innocent pictures of kids having fun, why can't I post them here?

That's when the whole fake news agenda was rolled out.

Are you saying the cops don't care if children might be being harmed, just like those on the left don't care? Hmm, I would think that the cops would investigate no matter how uncommon the claim might be.

Why does it look like she's being advertised? Let's see if the mods deem this too innapropriate for this forum. Again if this is all just innocent like the naysayers claim, the mods shouldn't have a problem with this image.
The purpose of the blog is to get people like you to believe in stuff like Pizzagate. They got you hook, line and sinker.

Sad.

The art depicts abused children. It's suspect.

And you don't think it's a coincidence?

You think if someone reported you on suspicion of pedophilia and the cops found art like that in your house -- bruised butts, faces, tied up kids in their underwear -- that you wouldn't be investigated? Really? They'd just walk say, nothing to see here, move along, and the media would immediately come to your defense and tell everyone you were innocent?

What reality do you live in? Any unconnected person would've been hauled off in handcuffs. They took kids away from a couple that had some bathtub photos of their own children. For months they had the kids.

But a guy with art of abused kids would be given a free pass.
