They had that liquid stuff that you could breath for deep diving, so the entire suit and helmet was filled with this liquid which had to be breathed into the lungs. That’s you with the Trump Kool-Aid. You’ve not only swallowed it entirely, it’s filled your entire lungs and brain to the point that you don’t even know what fresh clear air and water are anymore. If only you Trumpers would just try to fuck up your own lives and stop trying to ruin our country and society because of your damn fool delusions. ---

This is irrelevant to this thread! You should start a thread on Nunes so the troll can ignore that one, just as he will ignore your post, because he’s a disingenuous, lying troll. > [@EasyPhil](#): > > Don’t get mad because you’ve drunk the kool-aid and now you don’t like the after taste.

If not, we can expect to see more of the same, with potentially dire results. That’s not even CLOSE to an answer to my question. PLONK. ---

Schiff lied in his memo that countered the Nunes memo and the media believed Schiff. Now that the IG Report is out we can see that Schiff lied and the media that believed him were taken for a ride. If you consumed that media you were also taken for a ride which is why now you’re mad. ---

Now that the IG Report is out we can see that Schiff lied and the media that believed him were taken for a ride. If you consumed that media you were also taken for a ride which is why now you’re mad. If you actually cared about lies, then you’d be spending your time here criticizing the numerous clear and proven lies by Trump and his enablers (like Nunes, among many others). They vastly outnumber the lies by his critics, in quantity, significance, and maliciousness. And you still haven’t clearly demonstrated any lies by Schiff. Probably because you’re a liar and a troll with no interest in actual discussion. ---
