Conway: Hillary Clinton one of the only people who believes in Russia collusion

Source: Politico

Counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway said Friday that “the goalposts have been moved” when it comes to proving cooperation between the campaign of President Donald Trump and the Russian government.

Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Conway said, is among the small handful still clinging to theories of collusion.

“I mean, we were promised systemic, hard evidence of systemic, sustained, furtive collusion that not only interfered with our election process but indeed dictated the electoral outcome,” Conway said on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends.” “And one of the only people who says that seriously these days is still Hillary Clinton and nobody believes it. We know why she lost. It's obvious.”

Conway’s assertion that collusion allegations amount to little more than a conspiracy theory comes days after news broke that the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., met last summer with a Russian attorney who had had been led to believe possessed incriminating information about Clinton sourced from the Kremlin. Trump Jr. admitted to taking the meeting, which was also attended by then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort and top adviser Jared Kushner, but said no useful information came of it.

lulz
Beginning as a plural variant of lol, Lulz was originally an exclamation but is now often used as a noun meaning interesting or funny internet content.
Lol -> lul; lols -> luls; lolz -> lulz.

Lulz is the one good reason to do anything, from trolling to rape. After every action taken, you must make the epilogic dubious disclaimer: "I did it for the lulz".

This has been pioneered by encyclopedia dramatica, famous for posting a fake craigslist add and then listing the personal info of those who responded.

Listen to Trump's speeches closely sometime. When he talks about America, he means his supporters. He still talks about Democrats (not just Congressional ones) like they are dirt and the reason for all the country's problems. I'm appalled with his tone when he says the word Democrat, he is not on the campaign trail anymore (or perhaps he is since he only speaks to rallies rather than the Nation as a whole). Truly not a good way to get the country back on track.

She has hardly said a word about this.

But, the media is ALL over it, and millions of people are watching, listening or reading about it. Like i said in that other post, she's only off by 7 or 8 orders of magnitude
