    GOP Senator from Wisconsin, Ron Johnson, has been running around all over Washington and the media screaming 9/11 was an inside job for a month now. In an interview this week with Russian asset Tucker Ronnie boy says watching the buildings collapse is "cool" as he claims Building 7 was demolitioned with timed explosives.

    This totally makes sense as we all know the best way to take down a building is to set explosives secretly and then fly a plane into a nearby building. These are elected Senators, not posters.

    Conspiracy theorists often still claim building 7 was "untouched" despite the 16 floor gash and blaze it suffered. A fire chief openly stated they had lost too many lives already that day and weren't going to risk anymore. Somewhere along the line it was mentioned to "pull" the building as it needed to come down. It wasn't some secret plan yet these morons still cling to this as a smoking gun. Same thing with the the claim there was no plane debris at the Pentagon and any number of other b.s. claims.

    People also need to keep in mind that so much happened in such a brief period of time. Original reports held that loved ones received phone calls from the jet passengers. It was further reported that caller IDs recorded cell phone numbers. That was impossible. Qualcomm did not install the first cell-to-satellite antenna until 2005.

    However, upon further review of transcripts, most of the inconsistencies were confused, poor reporting in a hurry. What loved ones received were Airphone calls and that system, not caller IDs, recorded seat number, name, credit card number of the person paying for the call.

    A LOT of the confusion from that day has funded the conspiracies, and those stories are so much better than the reality of confusion and poor reporting.

    Agree. Conspiracy theorists latch on to any tid bit that satisfies their bias like the early reporting one of the towers collapsed which I believe happened over seas. Quotes of "sounds like explosions" were twisted to confirm firefighters heard explosions and confirmed their theories.

    There used to be a great website that meticulously took apart every claim with cited resources. It was called debunking 911 and it existed for 20 years but the domain no longer exists. It was extremely interesting but not one Conspiracy theorists in my circle would take an ounce of interest because it didn't satisfy their narrative and you know.....sheeple.

    Why did Republican President George W. Bush do such a terrible thing to America, and why did all those other republicans help and cover it up, then blame it on a completely innocent Osama bin Ladin? Are republicans really that evil of people?

    It's called MAGA, all the finest uneducated lunatics courtesy of the twice impeached game show host.

    These people believe in Bigfoot, Aliens, Atlantis, Supernatural Beings, that secular education, science and medicine is bad, the Earth was created in 4004 BC, The book of Revelation is the definitive guide to Foreign and Domestic Policy, Slavery, Women are Chattel for Men, Dictatorship, talking in tongues, preying on children, and relying on guns to settle disputes with neighbors or family.

    What did you expect?

    And a dem party forcing two different unelectable candidates on the voters. Arrogance convinced them people would vote for their annnoited choice rather than let the voters choose in an open primary

    That doesnt explain MTG, this guy, and the whole host of GOP disconnected from reality. Plus Hillary was elected by voters in the primary and won the popular vote. People are just generally stupid.

    (See my edit) - I will not argue with this, the country we live in and the body politic that rules it, is also brought to you courtesy of the Democratic Party, it's leadership, and them sleeping in the same bed with the entities that have brought this horrible state of being we have today.

    Hillary had no real competition. Broke Bernie threatened her before she reminded the party they were broke and the Clinton foundation wasn't. Indys gave the election to Trump because they couldn't stomach what the lib elites forced on them. Dems gift wrapped both elections for him.

    No accounting for stupidity on local elections. But look at what desi had to beat first time. Same thing, God awful candidate.

    How could people even have known there was a 4004 BC back then, when no one knew that a guy named Christ would be born 4004 years later? Answer that one for me, willya?

    I will, according to Bible scholars, they reference the Ussher-Lightfoot chronology. deduced from biblical texts, that the first day of the creation "myth" was:

    Hold your breath: October 23rd, 4004 BC.

    I particularly enjoy how the Creationists, having literally tens of thousands of Dinosaur fossils staring them in the face to contend with, now concede Noah's Arc did in fact house the Dinosaur's on the epic journey to Mt. Ararat.
