    False. The public may know more, but the former administration knew about the Russian meddling in real time.

    The rest of it is irrelevant. Trump is trying to finds ways to work with Russia where we can, and where it will benefit us, while also holding firm on sanctions.

    Flynn is going to be allowed to withdraw his guilty plea, and his case is going to get tossed.

    There’s no surer sign that the Russian narrative is dead than watching main stream journalists back away from it.

    Literally the second post on that guy's feed is him explaining explicitly that skepticism is not the same as him believing "there's nothing there." He literally contradicted your interpretation.

    When my kids were little and we'd have football games on on Sunday afternoons, I had to start turning the channels because of the violent commercials for TV shows like "24". Guns, screaming, explosions, torture porn. Good God. It was really uncomfortable and scary.

    Right. He’s agnostic.

    Which is a big step back from the declarations we’d seen previously.

    There was supposed to be so much evidence. Turns out, there’s none.

    But, hey, maybe, despite the lack of evidence, Trump still somehow colluded with Russia.

    Sure, sure. That's all a lie, but I wasn't actually deigning to engage you on your broader lies. Just that specific one.

    OK, you're a guy who understands scientific method. Couldn't we study and see if existence of those movies is correlated with gun violence in societies?

    It's not a "betrayal." It's just not a position you're likely to be able to support particularly strongly.

    You don't know what evidence Mueller does or does not have.

    I swear, you're like a football fan talking trash because his team is leading Alabama by three at the end of the first quarter. There's a lot of time left in this one and your team might lose 45-3.

    I added in TigerVols' full post, not the edited version in YankeeFan's post to show exactly which questions YankeeFan is dodging.

    The one answer he did give was a lie. The Trump administration knows more now than the Obama administration knew then and the public knows a hell of a lot more now.

    It speaks volumes that YankeeFan can't have even the most basic conversation about any of this without lying or making shit up, just like the Trump administration.

    You are probably right. I'm interested, right now, in a very narrow subset of gun violence, though: Mass killings like the one at Las Vegas, Orlando, Aurora, Parkland, etc.
