Uh, huh, now it's Librul TV to accompany other righty boogeymen?
What, the 'deep state', QaNon….whatever happened to THAT....fake news, truther this and truther that, aren't enough 'catnip' for you?
Sorry Saltheimer my views are supportable by facts, evidence and specifics..
I realize all 3 of those have a liberal bias, or at least they seem to be missing from righty posts, but that's a problem for righties and not for me.
Now I'm going to go and see if I can deconstruct/translate one of Shadster's word salad posts; I believe nut-burger is one of the main ingredients.
Meanwhile, why don't you read about the proud tradition of RW nuttery that's driving today's GOPER 'crazy train'?

How the GOP Went Crazy
The conspiracy-nut wing has long been at the fringes of Republican politics. Here’s how it took over.

The frenzy on the right to discredit Robert Mueller’s investigation gets more astonishingly desperate by the day—spurred not just by breathless talk radio and Fox News hosts, but also by Republican members of the House, who this week voted to release a Republican memo suggesting the Russia investigation is a partisan plot against President Trump.
As Eric Levitz summarizes in New York magazine, Trump supporters’ evolving conspiracy theory posits that “the entire investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government is a baseless sham orchestrated by Hillary Clinton and her deep-state allies,” including “a ‘secret society’ of Democratic operatives embedded within the FBI.”
So the right has lost its collective mind. But it has been heading this way for a long time. Back in 1954, after the Senate (including half of his fellow Republicans) censured Joe McCarthy, the pathogens of his conspiracy madness remained, and a generation ago began seriously propagating and infecting the mainstream, weakening its immunities to a demagogue like Donald Trump.
Looking back at that Republican history, it’s clear that the party’s reality-based Establishment was in charge from the 1960s through the ’80s, exploiting but marginalizing its useful idiots. It wasn’t until the age of right-wing talk radio and Fox News and Breitbart that the Establishment lost control, as crackpot habits of mind achieved dominance.
Indeed, more and more of the reckless, hysterical conspiracist language of Trump’s frenzied defenders in the mainstream resembles that of the lunatic, fringe right from a half-century ago.
