It Is Not A Conspiracy If It Is True (Trump/Russia)

[usedtobedemgurl]

I hate to put forth anything fantastical but this has been rattling around in my brain for quite some time and with Trump and the Wiki Leaks fiasco, I have to come out and say it - did the Russians get Trump to run? He owes them a lot of money and we do not know how much he actually has in the bank or he takes in since he will not release his tax forms. Could it be that he owed the Russians so much money that they actually instructed him to run?

Maybe Trump was behind on payments. We all know about his pattern of bankruptcies. Maybe he finally borrowed money from the wrong person. What if he did not decide to run on his own but, instead, was told that this was now his path since he could not pay back the money? What if a foreign entity now owns what could be our future president?

If this could even remotely have any truth to it, it is something very serious. We all have to get out and vote to make sure our country is safe.

2. Why are you using the CIA's definition of the term?

A conspiracy is two or more individuals working in concert to break the law. Period.

The CIA successfully mangled the term to indicate that a given theorist is mentally ill. They did so to discredit to those who doubt the Warren Commission conclusion that a lone knuckle-head killed Kennedy. And LOTS of people fell for it.

4. I am using it because that is the general definition today.

I am sorry if it offends you. I feel so whacky about even stating it that I sat on it for a couple of months now. I don't come out with things like this, it is just not who I am. This is just something I have feared is going on and I wanted to share my belief.

5. We have a lot of "general definitions" these days.

Freepers and the like come up with them regularly. DU used to be a place where intelligent people exchanged information.

If you're smart enough to post online, you're smart enough to handle the proper use of terms and not fall willing-victim to a CIA psy-op.

And speaking of psy-ops, only Putin is bent on blowing up the Middle East, overthrowing governments, committing wars of aggression, etc. I mean, the US of A would NEVER do anything like that...would they?

Never mind Putin, this nation has NEVER had two major party nominees with such a low approval rating. You have your scandal right there. I know, I know. The gubmint sez Putin hacked us and that Saddam was going to use chemical weapons on us. And I believe EVERY word.

3. Maybe

Dems should start asking if Trump is a Russian Trojan horse.

6. Wow! You may be on to something.

9. I think more likely he's a "useful idiot".

He was flattered, then, I'm sure, loaned significant funds and promised riches beyond compare. That is all it would take to buy him.
