Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsSo I went to freeperville to see the reaction to the big news.
The reactions are hard to read. You can imagine ("Hitlery," Podesta, Uranium One, Hillary's Dossier, Comey).
There were several along the vein of that it's going to be Manafort, to detract from Uranium One. Mueller had this in his pocket ready to go for awhile now. Uranium One got too "hot" in the media for them so this is their distraction. This was all about changing the news cycle and trying to turn the tables back on President Trump.
Mueller is under pressure to indict someone, anyone...to detract from the Hillary and Comey crimes.
Mueller is Obama's tool. One posts a pic of Mueller and Obama and Comey seeming to be walking together at the W.H. Poster saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. Another poster points out that pic seems photoshopped.
File charges against Trump, a quick pardon, and Mueller's gone. Mueller should be gone soon.
The timing of these indictments is to deflect attention from Mueller's involvement with the uranium deal and the dossier. (They apparently think, or pretend to think, that Hillary is involved in some Uranium deal scandal, and that Mueller is, too. Oh...and she arranged for that dossier to be done, too.)
They had to get the uranium story buried. The gag order had been lifted. It got too hot.
Mueller is in big trouble legally, all the "crap" is gonna start falling on him. (I guess from the uranium deal.)
They filed these charges deliberately after Rush's program!
Manafort was working for the Podesta Group and Hillary when he had Russian contacts. (They are desperately trying to tie anything and everything to Hillary Clinton. They're relentless.)
**********
Freeperville is a bizarre, scary world, totally detached from reality. No facts, no substance. Conspiracy theories, a fixation on Hillary Clinton and to a lesser extent, Obama. Repeated statements that this is fake because "they" lost the election (trying to repeat the lie that it's the Democrats who are investigating and charging).

(1,387 posts)Seeing these talking points on twitter. It's a cruel game. I almost feel sorry for the deplorables until I remind myself how hateful they are.

These conspiracy theories will fail and come crashing down in time. One would think that after seeing their theories crash, they would wake up and say "WTF, my friends and my media feeds must have been crazy!"
Let's just recall that many of these semi-humans have been going through this same cycle of theory/facts come out/theory proved bullshit over and over again, particularly throughout Obama's years.
So, tell me what kind of sick mind is it that gets proven wrong over and over, and just keeps coming back for new ones every day?

OR...they know all along it's fake, but they keep on saying it...the theory of if you say it loud enough and long enough, others will believe it. Trump does that. Hitler had that theory, as well, I think I read. So maybe that's true.

(14,490 posts)I'll bet there are well-oiled ($$$) machines behind these sites that keep track of the conspiracies and continually feed them new aspects and talking points. Perhaps foreign agents, perhaps Americans. Plenty of rogue actors around the world that want to keep us disoriented, angry and fearful.
Therefore, the everyday Bubba never has a chance to get his/her facts straight with constant streams of BS.
At a higher level, I heard many times that the Bush administration and Fox News were fed a constant diet of talking points by right-wing think tanks such as Heritage Foundation, and we can bet that continues today.

(37,648 posts)Because that's what the Russian trolls did. I forgot about that.
It's easy to get the Trumpers going on old conspiracy theories or anything that fits their end game wish.

(14,490 posts)of a bunch of geeks in a room with computers and a big marker board showing the theories with multiple threads and talking points connected to each. These guys would get pay points for new threads with the most hits. Sort of like a war room!
Then, a guy hollers out "lets bring the uranium thing back in today", LOL.
That my be closer to the truth than we may think. Stuff "from Russia with love" that we can do without!

I don't think I could handle that one. It's off the charts psycho and filled with hate, I've heard.
