Donald Trump Jr. shared Thursday a tweet linking former President Bill Clinton's 1993 firing of the FBI director to the death of Clinton aide Vince Foster, alluding to a far-right conspiracy theory.
"President Clinton fired his FBI director on July 19th, 1993, the day before Vince Foster was found dead in Marcy Park," the tweet said.
The supposed connection between Clinton's ousting of the FBI director and the death of his aide has long been a conspiracy theory popular among some Republicans, with the implication that Clinton was somehow involved in Foster's death.

Sorry, it isn't "desperation."
1/3 of the country has come to believe this kind of shit is stone cold facts, and 1/3 of the country that does not pay attention assumes there is some truth to it.

(7,963 posts)A 1/3 may believe this bullshit. They are not the majority. And guess what? They will ALWAYS be there! And I am not going to pander to their pathetic racist, misogynistic, xenophobic asses, either.
And really, the conservative media is what it is. They will always go after democrats and protect corporate interests. You really think it is about Hillary specifically?!?!!! That's as funny as these tweets.
We are in unchartered waters. It is not partisan politics as usual and the media is taking notice.

(14,543 posts)I have been on this board for over 10 years now, and for 10 years people have been crowing about "this is the end of the Rs now!" when in reality they have done nothing but gain power during that time ...
My point stands - there is NO good in them going back to Clinton here. That isn't some victory or a sign of their downfall.
It is the skull screwing they have been doing for a quarter century now that calcifies their 1/3 and muddles the minds of the 1/3 between them and us.
Knowing this will be lost on you ...
I don't mean to jump on your head, we both see what is going on and it drives us both equally nuts.
But, this country has been sliding for a quarter century now and what you are in glee over is what drove it.

The country has slid back decades because of inherent racism and a messed up media. But, typical....attack another Democrat.
Btw, the surreal bullshit that is our reality DEMANDS a healthy sense of humor.
