Here's hoping Bill Barr meets the same fate, at the very least... We have them for obstruction. Expect some sweet plea deals...

And for the umpteenth time, "I am NOT running!"

Edit:

Here's another one that should have been locked up already. What's the hold up?

    James Clapper? The guy that lied about NSA surveillance? We're supposed to believe whatever he says now? Why is he even on the damn TV?

    Because your beloved "news" is a bunch of "former" intelligence officials now. This followed the legalization of propagandizing the US public in 2013: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2013#Smith-Mundt_Modernization_Act_of_2012 [wikipedia.org]

    So when something is "all over the news" that means it is most likely some piece of propaganda meant to be repeated over and over until you believe it. Anyone who still believes the news in the US is an idiot at this point:

        It is propaganda to simply show others that the news is obviously getting talking points from the same place?

          I don't know. You seem to have a very broad view of what "propaganda" might be.

          As such, it's not clear to me what the fuck you're going on about.

          And no, I'm not going to watch some random moron blowing smoke (does the smoke feel real good up your ass?) on youtube.

          If it's so obvious and so prevalent, you should be able to find something better, with actual evidence, that isn't shot in somoene's mom's basement.

            Those videos are nothing like what you are assuming they are.

              Are they videos? Yes? That's what I'm expecting.

              Are these people illiterate? Are they unable to write things down?

              I don't have time to sit an listen to *anyone* blather on for 30 or 40 minutes, of which actual semantic content, if written as prose, would take me, maybe, 3-5 minutes to read.

              Thanks, but no thanks. I have better things to do than watch youtube videos (well, unless it's this [youtube.com] one [youtube.com], or maybe this one [youtube.com], or even *gasp* this [youtube.com]. Even this [youtube.com]. But none of that can be credibly rendered to prose.

              Tu entiende?

                I am sure you did click the link and turned it off after a few seconds because you just couldn't handle the ridiculously easy to understand evidence that you have been brainwashed.

                  Nope. I didn't click the link. Sorry.

                  It seems like you think this is really important. How about linking to some actual textual articles about the topic you're really excited to share with the world?

                  Or is that not the issue?

                  Is my lack of click reducing your advertising revenue? Not sure how that works as I always block all ads.

                  Nope. Not gonna do it. Again, sorry.

                  If you have no other sources for your *incredibly important*, easy to understand information, then perhaps you could explain it to me.

                  Whatever you decide, I'll be waiting.

                  Have a good night!

                      No. Youtube isn't an information source.

                      If you can't document, or even explain what you're blathering on about without some youtube video, it's most likely bullshit.

                      Want to share this information with me? Write a summary or point me at some textual source.

                      Otherwise, I can only assume it's either some whack job spouting bullshit conspiracy theories or that *you* profit from views of that particular video.

                      As to the former, I hear enough dotty crap here, I don't need to waste 30 minutes of my life listening to some mouth-breather blather on about how Michelle Obama raped him with a strap-on or other equally ridiculous garbage.

                      And as for the latter, you'll need to find someone else to finance your meth/hooker/MRE/slot car/whatever habit.
