Which is the part that isn't news. Meanwhile we're being offered some kind of nonsense theory implying Russian collusion.

Ah, there it is.

There what is? That Trump contradicts himself, a thing that was never in dispute?

This is kind of the point. Trump is such a polarizing jackass that people default to attacking him even in cases when there is nothing there, and then end up eroding their own credibility by making too many accusations they can't actually substantiate instead of sticking to the ones they can.

You don't have to reflexively defend claims so silly that you can only try to escape by moving the goalposts.

on a daily basis the current US president commits treason against the people of the united states, which im pretty sure even presidential immunity doesnt protect against. Just one of the shady dealings with foreign monarchies, laudering their bribes directly to the president thru billion dollar purchases of worthless crypto "assets" ala world liberty financial; should land the president and his entire family in capit…

I believe treason is literally defined in the constitution itself as taking up arms against the country. By that definition, I think there have been few to almost no treasonous people in recent decades.

From Article III: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."

For example, if Russia met the definition of an enemy, and if the President compromised the interests on the country in favor of Russian interests (presumably for his own personal benefit), that would probably count. The compromise would have to be knowing, though, mere incompetence is not enough. So if the issue ever arose, Trump has a pretty good defense.

False flag farcical comments will always be a thing.

When the farcical comments are from major institutions writing under their own name, that's not a false flag, that's just what their own flag stands for now.

Wait, are you saying leadership at those institutions (say the Washington post) secretly want to help Trump while appearing to be aligned against him, because of say the Zionism angle or like maybe Bezos wants a president that will lower his taxes? If so, that’s not a thing many ears would be able to hear here. More parsimoniously, perhaps the journos and pundits crying wolf (to discredit Trump’s critics) are acting alone. It only takes a few, because real idiots on the internet will latch on to the farcical nonsense and amplify it further. It doesn’t mean NYT/WAPO stand for false flags, it just means they have some political actors within them using plausibly deniable attacks on Trump to help him because they are for lower taxes/zionism/etc…

This urge to defend the indefensible and “both sides” the most corrupt administration in American history is exactly the problem. Go take a look in the mirror.

Worth noting that the commenter you're replying to is only LARPing as a centrist. The comment history of his other (now-banned) accounts are directly at odds with some of the "truths" he claims to have realized. https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=complianceowl https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=owlcompliance

A true HN classic. Thank you.

You are a liar, it has been demonstrated. If you feel such a shame about your beliefs because you really do understand deep down that they’re wrong and that you are sinning, you should repent. To continue to behave like you have been outs you as cowardly little worm.

Bud, it's "narcissist". And all one has to be to love what one sees in the mirror is grateful and confident in who one is. I completely understand how that would be foreign to you.

God, it must hurt being that stupid. Like seriously, how do you even put your shoes on without strangling yourself? Do they even trust you with scissors?

Because I'm not you: a grown man who is 45+ years old and never matured; never learned to emotionally self regulate; and has a constant chip on his shoulder, to the point that you use the very limited profile space to tell the world that you don't care about whatever crypto coin they're into. Do you not see yourself? Do you not see the perpetual bitterness and rage that emanates from your person? That is who you are, Solid Fuel. That is what you are.

Insults is all you have to cope with the cold hard reality of what I am confronting you with: a mirror.
