    Russian Conspiracy Theories Losing Steam

    It seems like these conspiracy theories about Trump being a Russian agent are starting to lose steam. Most normal people simply do not care about any of it and the evidence is so flimsy that nothing can actually come of it. At some point, it has to die. So my question is: What will be the next fake controversy they roll out? Or did they waste their one chance on the Russian thing? It's possible that Trump will come out of this even stronger. Interested to see what happens next.

    Sorry - it isn't a conspiracy theory and it isn't losing steam

    Soon we will be interviewing Christopher Steele - more and more of his dossier is checking out.

    Well, let's see.

    Is it a theory? Yes.

    Does it involve a conspiracy? Yes.

    Therefore, it's a conspiracy theory.

    The only reason why so many Democrats are unwilling to admit this is because they've spent so much time and effort trying to discredit conspiracy theories in the past. They don't want to look like the "kooks" and "lunatic fringe" they routinely mock.

    In any case, it's clearly losing momentum. It had to happen eventually. Naturally, you guys will try to keep this zombie alive as long as you can, but at some point you will have to accept reality and move on to some other fake controversy. I'm just wondering what it will be.

    It's already going away. The scandal was completely fake and self-serving, so there was never any real threat to Trump. Of course, Democrats will continue to delude themselves until the day they die, but on a subconscious level, they have to realize this conspiracy theory is on its last legs. Absolutely nothing substantial has come from it so far and nothing ever will because it's all fake BS. At some point, they will be forced to move on from this sordid and embarrassing temper tantrum.

    The fake intelligence report; the leaks; the wall-to-wall media coverage; it's yielded absolutely nothing substantial or actionable. It's all hot air. The deep state and their Democrat cronies have used all their best ammunition and have nothing left. If there was some kind of smoking gun, it would have been leaked a long time ago. Any investigation will be nothing but a self-serving with-hunt conducted by butt-hurt Democrats looking for payback against Trump. At some point, the smart people in the deep state will realize this and concoct another fake narrative with which to assault Trump. And Democrats will hop on board just like they did with the first fake scandal. The only question becomes: What will the next scandal entail? They've totally burnt out Americans on the Russia thing. It has to be something different, something fresh, but something scary.

    Oh, it's losing steam. That you have to keep posting that same stupid drawing is continuing evidence of it.

    You've failed, Comrade.

    This graphic proves how utterly tenuous such conspiracy theories are. You're taking something totally pedestrian and making it look nefarious. Of course Trump and other powerful people are going to have business and political connections to Russia. That proves absolutely nothing beyond itself. I could just as easily make a similar web with Democrats.

    These things cannot be conjured without inflicting damage on the parties who invented it. It's why the MSM didn't help Hillary win - they hurt her - and it's why Democrats are becoming an increasingly endangered species in State Government.

    They have no principles, and aren't role models. No one looks up to their ideology except them. They're vacuum-sealed in their own bubble. Witness the responses from the leftists for more evidence.

    It looks like Team Hillary met with the Russians too.

    And that the State Department set up Session's first meeting with them.

    Just politics.
