this is such a thorough and well reasoned reply, deserves more than just a thanks.

Given the amount of information we're collected over the past however many months and year, someone with even a basic understanding of the issue, the Mueller report, Barr's involvement, the Steele Dossier, or really any of the pieces contributing in full or in part to Russia Gate, (and I'm talking basic, not pouring hours of research in, just having read the most basic amount to call yourself informed) would not be able to call it a "farce" unless they had political motivation for doing so.

Even the idea that you would draw a conclusion, more than one year later, along the lines of "so it was a farce??" based on a Jimmy Dore video of all things which doesn't even touch on the key content of the investigation but instead focuses on the media's handling of the Steele Dossier vs the Hunter Biden information, is entirely bizarre. Like really, even if you were to come to the conclusion of it being a farce... it was a Dore video over a year later that barely mentions it that did it for you? Really? Jesus. That's unbelievable.

You could at least do yourself a favour, and fill in some of the information between Barr's summary of the report and Dore's video about... something... or nothing (it's kind of hard to draw real conclusions from Dore's video, since he himself struggles to tie dots together to make logical conclusions, which is fitting as a conspiracy theorist). Even just read this: https://time.com/5610317/mueller-rep...ths-breakdown/

Sorry, I just don't understand how people can this naive and willfully ignorant of information, and still feel confident enough to make conclusions. It makes you look dumb, honestly. Why would you want that?

The algorithms are such that it serves you videos you want to see, not videos you should see to get a complete picture. It's a perpetuating fallacy - Facebook and Twitter are probably the two worst of them.

Social media is no small part of the descent into political chaos in the Western world.

As mainstream social media platforms respond to pressure to ban extremists, the far right has found a new home for “hate and terror”.

BitChute describes itself as a “free speech” website, but researchers say it is has become a major platform for neo-Nazi videos, racism, violence, conspiracy theories and even terrorist propaganda.
Honestly, get lost with spreading your bull####. If doing the research on hate-sites is your version of "doing the research," it speaks for itself.

Weird that you'd out yourself as a far-right conspiracy theorist, you'd think you'd want to pretend you had credibility for a little longer than that.

This is garbage conspiracy theory crap.

If you want to watch right-wing conspiracy theories, you are obviously frequenting the right place with "bit chute".

If you want facts, maybe consider the credibility of what the hell it is you are reading/watching.

Edit: I edited out that URL, that doesn't need to be shared with the world.

Oh ####, now he's pulling out the BitChute links.

BitChute for those unaware, is YouTube for people that have been kicked off YouTube (nazis, supremacists, conspiracy whackjobs, and the like).

EDIT: Lmao seconds late

No one talks about Biden as a saint. No one is glorifying Biden that I've seen.

I think the vast majority just recognize without a shade of doubt that Trump has to go. Biden is far from ideal (and I said that before) but is still by default a massive upgrade on Trump just by being a half decent human being.

Trump followers are making a name for themselves with their reckless antics. People rooting for a Biden win are not hanging out on lawns with guns or blocking people from voting, but we're sure as hell going to put you in your place if you defend this chump.

He's everything that's wrong with humanity in one smug package. If you're wanting to call someone out for smugness, point at the guy shooting "I conquered covid" salutes from the Whitehouse like it's a TV show for his own vanity.

The trash needs to be taken out. If that hurts your feelings, maybe grow a thicker skin. And submitting to a decade of chaos like its the natural order of things is for deranged individuals, no offense.

For anyone gullible enough to click on JR449's link, it's worth noting that the creator of the video he posted is a white supremacist holocaust denier who believes Jewish people are satanic, and responsible for pedophilia and child pornography, among other things.

If you want to know exactly what level of content is being shared at this point, of course.

When compared to the absolute trainwreck that is trump, even some one like Biden seems like a saint.

I don't think that's the research he wanted you to research PepsiFree.

Besides, if he was a pedophile, President Trump would have personally taken him out. It's like you haven't been reading your Q news at all.

Trump’s MAGA slogan will go down in history as one of the most abhorrent, racist, misogynistic things since Nazi Germany and Trump supporters will be regarded as co-conspirators to a criminal empire.

Well the eagle clutching the thunderbolt logo tastefully angled to make it look like one half of the SS badge from Germany circa 1939 led me to suspect it was going to be headed in that direction, perhaps the mods can do a bit of a deep dive on these posters IP addresses as it is all reminiscent of Russian disinformation posting the Guardian gets at this stage and this is literally how a disinformation campaign works

Never thought I'd appreciate when politics were boring as much as I do currently. That will be a lovely day.

My favorite is how guys like bizkitgto and JR449 will be the first to tell you "Look I hate Trump as much as anyone"

I'm pretty sure "Look I hate Trump more than anyone" is now the political equivalent of "I have nothing against (insert ethnic, or racial group here"

Those statements are usually followed by a "But", and then a statement that would seem to indicate the first one isn't quite sincere.

The cat’s out of the bag... I’m not sure we can go back.

Honestly, I’m shocked we haven’t seen ‘deep fakes’ used against political opponents yet.

That's definitely one of the biggest "mask off" moments this thread has seen recently.

Usually it's links to more boring stuff like Crowder or Shapiro.
