> [@Great\_Antibob](#): > > If you do understand what someone is saying and only a few others also understand, maybe you should be a pal and pass the peyote around so the rest of us can get in the appropriate state of mind to receive the cosmic wisdom being imparted. I’ll take a stab at it. From the OP > [@](#): > > Guiliani basically did to these bueraucratic jerks in the special counsel office what they/fbi/doj/cia did to trump during 2016/2017. They sent an informant in and extracted information. This is now called LEVERAGE and the silent coup folks knows this. So, OP is saying that the recent revelation that Manafort had been lying to the Mueller team, in contravention of his plea deal, is just the mainstream media’s clumsy reaction to the brilliant Rudy Giuliani’s master plan to put a mole inside the Mueller team (payback for when the FBI had put a mole - Papapadapoulus, if I recall correctly - into the campaign). Which resulted in all sorts of…what was it…“leverage” over the investigation. This, of course, being exactly what one does when one is totally not guilty of anything and when the investigation is a witch hunt and there is no evidence of any possible criminal behavior so there’s no reason for anybody to pay any attention to any of it anyway. ---

Once again, I can’t \*buy \* entertainment like this in the real world. I mean, to have a willfully ignorant provocateur audition to be Baghdad Bob, and THEN another one comes along and claims the only reason everyone thinks the OP was incomprehensible and truth-twisting is that those with critical faculties here are… _[gasp]_ liberals! Of course! Ok, I’m headed to the bar to watch the Saints/Cowboys game, and I can’t wait to tell my friends there about “Guiliani played Mueller like a fool”… hope no one squirts beer out their nose. ---

All good. > > Then a few of the really dumb ones come by and say that the person is incoherent. They usually have the angriest responses as well. If you don’t understand what someone is saying and everyone else does understand, you should be humbled by your stupidity. You shouldn’t simply react more angrily than the comprehending people have reacted. This is an ape-like impetus and you should exercise the self-control of a homo sapien if you are capable. I assume that you are just worried that the OP is going to beat you out for Incoherent Right-Wing Idiot of the month.

> [@Chip\_Dundas](#): > > If they have something major, you will know because the stock market will drop a lot. Interesting theory. Given that: - As of last Tuesday, the Dow and the S&P had both lost all of the gains that they’d previously made in 2018 - More than 45% of the S&P stocks are down at least 20% from their highs in the past year …is that enough to constitute “drop a lot”?
