Said site also promotes a wild conspiracy theory that Trump is going to bring us single payer.

From the link in the op.

"The Russians were involved on both sides. They definitely tried to tip the scales against Clinton and for Trump. But the Fusion GPS organization that was trying to get the goods on Donald Trump was backed by the Russians. To me, this just shows how deep the Russians are into our democracy. And if you are a Republican or a Democrat, if you don't get what I was trying to, the point I was trying to make, that's a dangerous mistake cause they are trying to screw up our election and our democracy on both sides of the aisle."

Website claims that Democrats are in bed with the Russians and that Trump is going to bring us single-payer. A true attempt to normalize an out of control administration and the Republican party.

a warning that Democrats must not leave their left flank open because Trump would go through it. It is not simplistic thinking but observing how we lost in 2016 as I predicted.

It also often normalizes Trump while attacking Democrats.

This gem for example:

"I was on my way back from Washington DC to Houston yesterday when I saw Donald Trump's live press conference on health care while at Reagan National Airport (DCA). Everyone should have been appalled not at Trump's press conference, but at the nonresponse from the Democratic Leadership."

As for the warning at that site about Trump bringing us single-payer, it's nuts. To claim "It is not simplistic thinking" is funny. Conspiracy theorists like the one at the link in the op always think they are the deep thinkers in the room.

Republicans can be against Trump and at the same time using #TrumpRussia to attack Dems. That's the point that posters seem to not be understanding here.

Lots of Republicans would love a President Pence right now.

"So what should we learn from all of this," Graham said. "The Russians were involved on both sides. They definitely tried to tip the scales against Clinton and for Trump. But the Fusion GPS organization that was trying to get the goods on Donald Trump was backed by the Russians. To me, this just shows how deep the Russians are into our democracy. And if you are a Republican or a Democrat, if you don't get what I was trying to, the point I was trying to make, that's a dangerous mistake cause they are trying to screw up our election and our democracy on both sides of the aisle."


I'm sure it was just a mistake, it's easy to miss...

I did not state that the op or anyone else made the quote. Just that it's from the site in question.

No mistake. "From the link in the op"

to click. Everyone should click the link and then click as many of the ads on that site as possible. All clickthrough proceeds go to support the site, I'm sure. I especially liked the ad that offers a Donald Trump commemorative coin. I just have to have one of those!

odd story.

1. There is an amazing product for erections that is better than Viagra.
2. I can click an ad to buy a Donald Trump Limited Edition Coin
3. A sure cure exists for Diabetes that will work before the end of summer.

Plus assorted other ads and come-ons.

What wonderful deals! I'm sure glad you didn't post the entire content of your article, so I'd have to click through to your blog to learn about all those wonderful products and offers! Wow!

Everyone needs one of those commemorative coins. Get yours now at the link on the poster's blog site!

This is the product the OP is promoting on his website:

Do any of those ads promote Ritalin? If so try to get a sample so you can do some editing before posting. Just a hopefully helpful tip.

Ali Velshi? How does he figure in this? I tried to find a reference to him, but couldn't. Shouldn't you be more careful?
