Yeah, something is happening. Rand Paul is now pushing this conspiracy theory.

Time to investigate high ranking Obama government officials who might have colluded to prevent the election of @realDonaldTrump! This could be WORSE than Watergate!

Whatever prompted it, he sure wants it kept quietly. The initial news reports talked about his neighbor being a Democrat, so I was initially thinking that Fox might play up a "violent Democrat/Liberal" angle to the story but they didn't even mention anything. In fact, every news story about the incident was exceedingly vague.

Rank and file rightwing voters will believe anything. The more plausible and outlandish the story, the more credible and 'smart' Republican politicians seem to be for thinking of things that the average voter overlooked. Send your $10, $100, or $1000 gift right away so we can save the country before it's too late.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Thu Dec 21, 2017, 01:01 PM

Every Republican who shows up to support the Unholy Alliance gives us a clearer picture of the forces of evil arrayed against us and more clues on how to gear up for the battle.

So twitter away Rand, step up to the mic. Get your face on camera-the more pixels the better picture-we want to clearly see the whites of your eyes.

But, just what does his tweet insinuate?

Is he sad that Assface won, or is he happy? Is it really Obama’s fault that Trump is a traitorous, unfit president? It’s all so confusing.
