That fake news is really simple and spectacularly complex. That it is going to continue, dangerously so -- unless several things change. That the Russians are keen psycho-social observers. In some ways, they know us better than we know ourselves. That President Trump has the sadist's gift -- he knows just where it's going to hurt most.

Alex Jones said Hillary Clinton (who frankly, with 24/7 Secret Service on her, doesn't have the privacy necessary to run a sex trafficking ring) rapes and murders children. If you really believe that -- and you really believe that law enforcement, etc. is just letting it happen .... And you have access to as many guns as you can buy .... Well, you see the problem.

Bart (my uncle) was called a baby killer and murderer and all sorts of horrible, hateful things by extremists in the anti-abortion movement. For years he said, "Don't be a surprised if a fragile minded follower gets a gun." And that's exactly what happened. He was shot and killed in his own kitchen in front of his wife and children.

The thing about conspiracies is that the "good" ones -- the ones that take off always have a grain or grains of truth in them to take off. The tell is that a lot of those grains are unrelated. So: James Alefantis was David Brock's boyfriend. He has done fundraisers for Democrats. There have been very powerful people found to be pedophiles. HRC has been very secretive.

Well, if it's not code for anything -- and by "pineapple" you mean pineapple -- the tropical plant with yellow flesh and a prickly skin -- I quite like pineapple with Canadian bacon -- Canadian bacon meaning the pork product.
