Fair enough.

Do you suppose it would be possible to link to numerous posts (here, on Twitter, on Facebook, etc.) made from about the time the RNC changed its platform language on policy toward Ukraine\* up to and past the election, in which the idea that Trump had a connection with Russia—any connection whatsoever!—was treated as the most UTTERLY RIDICULOUS idea ever advanced…?

I bet a few could be found.

I doubt that any paid trolls have “set up shop” here. But we certainly have been visited by paid posters. The workings of the Internet Research Agency have been documented to an extent that would surprise many. As a starting point, in a thread in the Elections folder, Banquet Bear provides some excellent links in post #17: [https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=858557](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=858557)

OK, so it was a TV show. Nobody gives a fuck about the show, so just drop it already.  
And how’s this for irony? I’m the one saying “cool your jets”. Think about that for a while.

Everything ok, andros? You seem worried about someone getting “super aggro” but seem pretty blase about a fellow poster going super paranoid delusional.

Good, I didn’t want to go to Disneyland _anyway_.

(Too much tracking there, nowadays. Man, they info-gather about your every move.)

Since you mention it let me say that in my opinion,\*\* _Earworm Now_\*\* is easily the best Vietnam War movie. It really brings out The Horror of insipid songs that won’t pull out of your skull even after they realize the war can’t be won.

Wow. That is, I don’t know, stunning doesn’t fit well, is there a word beyond stunning, stupifying, perhaps. No, lemme see…ah here it is brainsprainingly stupid and ignorant and dumb.

I could give a shit if Thelma Lou is pro trump or anti Trump or if she works on the Trump staff and her assignment is to wake the Pederast in Chief every morning with a blowjob.

Idiocy like your post is exactly why Hillary lost and Trump won.

And for the record I am way, way, WAY more liberal than you can possibly believe.

no, more liberal than that.

More than that.

More than that.

Hey let’s not get crazy now.

Back it up some more.

There. That is the exact amount of far left whack job liberal I am.

Would stand to reason. Historically, in times of crisis, the first thing we do is attack the nearest ally.

This is eminently convincing.
