Sooooooo....are the liberals and Democrats willing to admit to being wrong?

“As it begins to wrap up its investigation, the Senate Intelligence Committee has not found “any direct evidence” that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians during the 2016 presidential election, according to a report on Tuesday.
“After two years and interviewing more than 200 witnesses, the Senate intelligence Committee has not uncovered any direct evidence of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia,” NBC correspondent Ken Dilanian told MSNBC anchor Hallie Jackson.
She appeared stunned by the revelation.”

  The Republican head of the Senate Intelligence Committee thinks his Republican boss is innocent.
  
  Fortunately, his claims are just in time for the start of Trump's campaign to get himself re-elected next year.
  
  Randy, I'm disappointed you don't agree with him.

  Probably because the internet creates an illusion of majority and consensus, politicians play to the most they think they can garner a vote from.
  
  This climate has escalated exponentially because of social media.

  More and more the web (not just social media, but the vast majority of everything posted) reminds me of the snake oil salesmen of the old west. Preying on the naive, the trusting, they went forth with lies and "spin" to convince others that a falsehood was true.
  
  And we're seeing the same thing today - we haven't learned that everything we see is only part of the picture, or simply an outright lie. We trust, and it isn't working. The web is, or could be, the most valuable resource ever created in the history of mankind, but when it is used as a propaganda tool more than an information source we do ourselves a great disservice.

  Your last statement, blaming Trump. Trump didn't start the problem, he tapped into it. He's to blame for a lot, but only commenting on him with every negative post (you guys know who you are) it pushes the divide. By not making clear that all sides have their share of instigators.
  
  Trump is bad. No worse than Hillary with her lies. Not as bad as Maxine Waters with her attempts to fan the flames of incivility and unrest.
  
  I could go on. But blaming Trump at every turn, and only Trump, sets the stage for the other side to accept you turn a blind eye to other agitators.

  I was responding to this comment: "Extremists and special interests on both sides have used social media to inflame differences."
  
  I suppose we could pretend only extremists and special interests sow division on social media, but that would be ignoring the elephant in the room, which is that the President of the United States uses social media, in an unprecedented and pervasive manner, to lie, malign, and inflame. You can pretend this divisive behavior coming from the top has no effect on the country if you want but you would be denying the truth. I did not "blame" Trump, but I found the statement that extremists do it to be a blatant omission of the obvious.

Unfortunately, there is no right or wrong in the game of politics. As long as your actions can irritate your opponents and rile up your base, your doing "good" by political standards.

As the Senate Intelligence Committee wrapped up their investigation and concluded that there was no direct evidence of collusion — guess what? Now the House Intelligence Committee is going to be restarting their own investigation.

Truth, facts, common sense — they have no driving role in the game of politics.

2. Of course the Russian conspiracy thing was completely made up. The establishment couldn't stand to lose. But globalism is over. Mass migration is OVER. Let the right wing across America, and Europe rise. Amen.
