Donald Trump and US politics

You need to stop punching Nazis and talk with them, before it's too late. Words or swords — those are the two choices before us. The contrast is stark.

There's a fifth group - people who are paid to pretend to be Trump supporters and make the POTUS look bad.

You read that sub? I'm surprised.

I've only been there once (right after you or someone else linked it in this thread) and once or twice about a year ago when I first heard about it. I prefer a nice soothing secret alien/UFO TV video if I want a good laugh. I do wish someone put some serious effort into a new Loch Ness monster or Sasquatch fake video though.

How do you rate the conspiracies there versus the ones on /pol? Are there any particular ones there that you enjoy more than MSM conspiracies?

The majority of posters in /r/conspiracy /r/conspiracyright and /r/wikileaks are all from /r/The_Donald. You could choose anyone of those subs and read the same rubbish.

Wikileaks isn't conspiracy theory. Maybe he Reddit has its own problem, idk, but the emails were real, bro.

If you're talking about Seth Rich, I think he was the DNC leakier but I don't think there was a conspiracy to kill him. I think whistleblowers are themselves likely to see conspiracy where there isn't any and are thus more likely to treat a random mugging like an execution and get themselves killed. The evidence clearly points to a struggle. Nothing would be taken because Rich's noncompliance threatened to draw attention. Etc.

Here is a conspiracy. There seem to be propaganda and people infiltrating left and right groups trying to bait them into a fight.

Never said they weren't. It's not really my problem that Wikileaks has been hijacked by Trumpers for their own ends. Does't help that Assange seems to have his own agenda though.

You edited your post whilst I was replying, So.

I personally believe the Seth Rich conspiracy is complete nonsense and I feel sorry for his family. That a group of small minded, hateful individuals can't leave well alone speaks volumes about their character.

As it stands now, Assange and Rohrabacher had a meeting, the details of which which will be reported to Trump. I'll be very interested to see what the outcome of this will be. It wouldn't surprise me if this is not about Assange seeking a deal to save his skin, assuming the UK lets him out.

Ha! Wikileaks and Assange are always leaking the secrets of anyone they get.

President Donald Trump says that if the Justice Department wants to charge WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, “it’s OK with me.”

Trump says he is not involved in that decision-making process, but would support Attorney General Jeff Sessions if he charged Assange with a crime.

The administration has stepped up its rhetoric against WikiLeaks in recent days, despite the fact that Trump welcomed the group’s release of a top Hillary Clinton aide’s emails during the election.

Sessions told reporters Thursday that Assange’s arrest is a priority as the Justice Department steps up efforts to prosecute people who leak classified information to the media. CIA Director Mike Pompeo last week denounced WikiLeaks as a “hostile intelligence service” and a threat to U.S. national security.

It goes well beyond that.

Just popped in to catch up on the last few pages. Always a pleasure to see Dalai beating the thread like a drum. =^[.]^=

See my edited comment in response to your edit above.

Regarding "Wikileaks and Assange are always leaking the secrets of anyone they get." Ask Assange why he didn't leak the Russian documents he/Wikileaks acquired at about the same time as the DNC hack. Or ask why, with the exception of a very small number of documents, there's virtually nothing regarding Russia. Maybe you could fire an email off to Novaya Gazeta and ask their opinion of Assange. It goes on. Assange has an agenda. Whether or not Wikileaks are willing participants I know not.
