(24,450 posts)But probably something to do with Flynn/Russia/Mueller. Right-wingers seem to think that DOJ's move to dismiss Flynn's criminal charges mean that they will making moves against the Obama Administration's initiation of investigation of Russia in 2016

(5,272 posts)This accusation is being spread around by Flynn's attorney who has concocted allegations about Pres. Obama being somehow involved with FBI setting up Flynn to be entrapped into lying to FBI.

(11,495 posts)trump is running scared and he needs to change the subject from his miserable handling of the pandemic, to something else, like blaming Obama for everything! It's nothing more than a pack of lies put together by trump and his degenerate gang of assholes.
I also agree that Russian trolls are busy on all social networks trying to persuade anyone dumb enough to believe them, that everybody is against poor trump, and of course Obama is behind it all. Hell we have a lot of those trolls here spreading BS everyday. New trolls seem to show up regularly here. They aren't too hard to spot. Some have some how managed to post over a hundred posts a day, and rack up thousands of posts in only a month in a half.
People need stop buying into the troll bullshit and ignore them.

(9,977 posts)... the Trumpsters think Obama is trying to get rid of their idol and declare himself President again. They believe he runs a "deep state" government. They think he's been trying to overturn the "election" of their idol and is a traitor to the USA. Hillary and Biden are part of the "deep state." The Trumpsters are quite silly... only Dick Cheney had a "deep state" and he called it his "shadow government."

Russian trolls and bots will pull out all the stops and FB and Twitter will let them have free reign.

Probably has something to do with Obama subverting the FBI, spying on Trump, creating the Corona virus, sinking the Titanic and losing the War in Vietnam.

(6,408 posts)It's nucking futs. They've wrapped themselves with so many conspiracy and bullshit, they don't even know which way is up anymore.
Like the virus, to them its about "government control"....and when I push the issue of control of what? Why would nations world wide, destroy their economies, risk overthrow of their government and I point to an example, Russia, who is not on good terms with the USA, is taking this seriously.
They blow it off "because they are in the know".
No critical skills of any kind.

(15,370 posts)covering this bullshit like it's a real fucking thing, including hours of empty podium Breaking News shots as they wait for the orange asspickle to weigh in on Obama's "crimes".
You know, they HAVE to get the other side out there to be fair and ballanced.
This is how completely made up horseshit makes it into the "news".
You might think a story this big... about the first African American president being investigated for treason would push the Tara Reade story off the news, but trust me, our media will find the time to cover both.
They'll treat this fucking fantasy, that would get laughed out of a Hollywood producers office in a nanosecond, with the seriousness of dick cancer.
It will be fun to see if we truly are a 3RD world country.
