Originally posted by rogue06 View PostPrior to the TDS epidemic I'd scoff at such a statement as the ravings of paranoid conspiracy theories, but since that time we've had folks like Bill Maher admitting to hoping for economic collapse just because that would hurt Trump politically and then on Netflix's "The Break with Michelle Wolf" they asked the audience the question "Are You Sort Of Hoping We Don't Get Peace With North Korea So You Wouldn't Have To Give Trump Credit?" 71% said yes. These idiots would rather see a nuclear armed North Korea than Trump get any credit for disarmament.

You seem to be the type to hope for more mass shootings so you have more ammunition to use to get your way politically.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by JimL View PostNo, it's not paranoia, Tea. Conservatives live in a conservative bubble and so are blind to what Trump is doing. His deep state rhetoric is just his way of overturning democratic institutions, installing loyalist syncophants throughout, and so shielding himself from their oversight."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
