The list of fake republican "scandals" since Trump took office:
1. The Obama Wire Tapping of Trump campaign fake scandal. (via GOP Rep. Devin Nunes).
2. The "Illegal unmasking" of Trump officials by Susan Rice fake scandal (again via Devin Nunes ).
3. The Uranium One fake scandal (via Sean Hannity buddy and right wing blogger John Solomon).
4. The Russian "Dossier" funding fake scandal (via FoxNews)
5. The "Secret Society" fake scandal of this past week(via Rep. Devin Nunes (yet again), as well as Sen. Ron Johnson among others).
6. And now, the "Secret FBI Memo" fake scandal.
And we're only 12 months into the Trump presidency.
We could compile a list of dozens of similar (and worse) crazy, baseless conspiracy theories that were promoted by the Gop'ers during the Obama presidency.
The kinds of oddball, irrational, dishonest, radical and hateful propaganda and rhetoric that used to come only from the fringes of the conservative movement (i.e. the John Birch Society, Ayn Rand Society, White Supremacist groups, etc.) is now being WHOLLY embraced and promoted by ELECTED Conservative/Republican leaders in this country.
I think it's long-passed time to stop giving republicans the benefit of the doubt about this, and just accept that irrational, dishonest and/or hateful conspiracy theories are not just a "right wing fringe" thing, but a MAINSTREAM Conservative thing.
Must make sure people get out and vote and realize teh importance of voting. The hateful idiots that eat this garbage up represent a small percentage of the country, so if people get out and vote, they won't have a voice. Politicians care about reelection, they care little about the garbage they spew, its just meant for votes.
That's why republicans never do anything. They don't try to ban abortion, they do nothing about illegals. When dems control a house or the presidency and they know it will never pass, they pass bill after bill to appease their base, but as soon as they have full control, they do nothing. It's all an act. I can't believe people in this country are so stupid and/or dishonest as to not clearly see this. They don't hide it
