If you asked me to explain my collusion theory I could easily tell you who the people involved in the conspiracy are, what their motives were, what their roles were, and what they got out of it.

Can you explain how Trump was involved, what his motives were, what his role was, and what he got and hoped to get out of it? I want to see a Kwark breakdown of this.

Trump's role was knowingly accepting aid from the Russian government, his motive was becoming President, what he got was a Russian intelligence hack on Clinton and the DNC and an insider feed of sensitive information from that hack, and a social media disinformation propaganda campaign aimed at discrediting Clinton.

We have documented proof of Trump Jr. accepting a meeting in which ending US sanctions on Russia was discussed due to being promised information from the Russian government hack. And 30 minutes after that meeting we have Trump Sr. tweeting non public information that was obtained by that Russian government hack. My theory is that his source for the hacked information was his son, and that his son got the information when he met with the people behind the hack in a meeting he admits that he took in order to get the information from the hack.

Honestly I don't really know how anyone could spin this as anything other than what it is. My Trump collusion theory is right up there with the 9/11 theory that explains that the towers fell because they got hit by planes.

I know this is the feedback thread, but what "non-public information" are you talking about?

The 33,000 number. The very first time Trump tweeted about Hillary's emails was just 30 minutes after the Trump Jr. meeting with Russian agents who we know were offering him dirt on Clinton, and he did not tweet the 30,000 number that had previously been in the news.

The Trump collusion theory is just "it's basically what it looks like".

The wierd world of US pol people, where someone thinks in sincerety whether someone who IS the president of USA for over a year wanted to be president. As we all know, being elected the president of USA is just something that is forced upon you right?

The upper post was not reported by anyone. Advocating for mass murder is not permitted on TL but if it looks like it was done in jest or with poetic license it will often slip by without anyone noticing.

The lower post was reported. And, the joke is not as harmless as you seem to think. If your goal here was to call out the moderation for failing to notice the direct threat of murder in the first post, then I've addressed the issue. If your goal was to defend your decision to characterize US-Israel relations with "your country is run by Jews" then you aren't going to have much success here.

Plenty of people are put off by the exploitation of MLK, contrary to some of the posts in the thread, but no one is posting in a bannable way about it, so it's a non-sequitur.

Well yeah, one is distinctly tied to a discrete portion of the web/society that no one wants to be a part of unless they are card-carrying in some way. The other is judgmental and itself highly stupid, but doesn't have the same cachet nor attachment to "things people on Stormfront say unironically," though perhaps that will change.

there's a difference between saying 'the country is run by jews' and saying 'the pro-israel lobby exerts far too much influence on american policy, both foreign and domestic', or a similar phrase about media influence, even if the meaning is kinda the same. I'm not usually opposed to calling a shovel a spade or whatever, but 'the country is run by jews' is a phrase with pretty strong conspiratorial/anti-semitic connotations.
