Sniff, sniff, I smell a Coronabro....
Open question that probably fits here -
How do you define "Conspiracy Theory"?
If / when you use that term -- what do you mean?
Aren't there all KINDS of historical examples of people/nations & groups - conspiring together to increase their standing/wealth or power?
Somehow a "conspiracy" became iron clad associated with misinformation - fabricated or otherwise - untruth w/a hint of Bolshevik wrath raining down upon the purveyors
I think its NICE when the corporate/political castes think so much of our well being -
Anywho - its a worthy line of conversation if someone tosses out CT too lazily or in a way that ignores reality

In my experience, a conspiracy theory (with respect to politics) is an opinion on something that someone you are politically opposed to, expresses about a situation.
For example, when Trump said the DOJ was unjustly investigating him in the runup to the 2016 election, the mainstream media and the DNC said he was a conspiracy theory nut.
Turns out, however, that the DOJ and DNC were, you know, unjustly investigating/smearing him. LOL

In today's completely moronically detoriated political climate, a conspiracy theorist is simply someone who knows they're being lied to.
The label is used to dismiss facts/arguments they can't substantively contend.

All they have are lies, hoax after hoax, endlessly.
Would be funny if not so pathetic and damaging to the country.

Its a term that somehow became widely understood to have a very narrow & restrictive definition isn't it -
And somehow - its like kids calling DIBS
Its often considered unmovable and unquestionable once applied
isnt that so weirdly (and clumsily) wielded ?
Sometimes you have to engage someone on how they define their terms - esp if they're granted the authority to define unfamiliar thoughts or facts as untruths -

😀 i was about a minute behind you posting the same thing
it’s shameful that these moonbats are in any position of authority
Liberals hate America. There's no denying it and White liberal women are the absolute worst. She should be fired, because the day you can't fly an American Flag in our country is a day we should never let happen.
Phrase has been around for a long time. It only started taking on a negative connotation around the same time as the Kennedy assasination. Many people attribute this to the CIA trying to discredit anyone that would question the official narrative and we see it used all the time today towards anyone that would question the state much in the same way. Coincidentally, if you believe this, you may just be called a conspiracy theorist.
Pre this more modern era, it was simply an accepted way to try and understand the world…by questioning things that didn’t seem to add up.
Today, it’s gotten so bad, even questioning the most obvious things or thinking for yourself at all will bring anger and vitriol from the state, state run legacy media, and of course, their foot soldiers (fellow citizens) as we see on here daily.

23 people shot, 4 killed in Chicago so far this holiday weekend
Memorial Day Weekend violence has left four people dead, and 23 wounded since Friday. The most recent shooting in Lawndale left a man dead and two others injured.
This dude is going to have a stroke.
Dude, you are the poster child for TDS.
I'm not triggered btw. You asked me for specifics when you only piss on Rs. So, instead of going back through thousands of pages, i'm just going to call you out when i see it.
Do you ever has HOW biden got his hundreds of millions ... while being a public "servant" the entire time?? Biden is so FOS it isn't even funny. Biden represents ALL of the things that are wrong with the country and the world.
You have to admit, that DJT may have gotten a leg up, and he built on that, he didn't squander it on drugs like little Hunter, or Algore's alcoholic kid, etc. I agree Vivek is an even better story. I've said many times before, i would have preferred RD or VR, but it is what it is and I am all in on Trump's policies. America First.
You gotta ask "why??". How evil does someone have to be to simply shoot a 5yr old?with two nights to go

The entire media and the entire "intelligence" community lost all credibility. And they did it to themselves. They cannot blame republicans "pouncing" or orange man. They are simply unbelievable (in a bad way) with levels of evil mixed together.
Gut them both and start over.
biden did blame oil prices on Putin's "aggression" and war starting. So yes, the left did in fact claim Ukraine was about oil.
Don't let them GASlight you.

Biden repeats 2022 Naval Academy appointment story at West Point commencement
Biden previously told the same story to graduating midshipmen in 2022.

It’s genuine. I’m not clever enough to play sarcastic games. 😀. Hope everyone remembers what the day off is for on Monday.
This is the perfect analogy for the US Federal Government...
Ole Keith is just about the most pathetic person I can think of. He is seriously mentally ill.
And such an internet tough guy. He’d wilt like a dandelion if confronted in real life.
By the way, how does he think that crowd would react to Biden?
Man, he knows who’s running this country behind the curtain. THATS why he’s fine with having the Walking Dead as president.
They think Obama is a literal god and they’re 💯 fine with having him be the hand up the dummy’s ass.
Apart from being eaten up with TDS, he's irretrievably stupid.
Last time I checked "Conspiracy Theory" was still batting 1.000%. Anything from the Left is well below the Mendoza Line.
"I'm just going to call you out when i see it." = triggered for that subject. I'm triggered by 1576. Enjoy his nonsense though. It's good to be appreciated.
I didn't didn't know - and still don't - that Joe has $100M+. I thought it was around 50. But either way, I do wonder. But not enough to go looking for something others already point out. Redundant.
I started out saying Trump was given huge wealth, net, or NET, I don't have to admit it again.
Agree, but they are employees & employers have the right to control behaviors. I'd have been asked to take down a large American flag from my cubicle.
Probably regrets getting that bean burrito at Taco Bell now.
Hilarious and terrifying at the same time.
Olbermann just sounds like a deranged lunatic right now. Seriously. He’s a notch beyond Meathead Reiner even.
