        Let's see. FISA warrant. Ryan-on-tapes (not specifically the WaPo convo). Chaffetz. Flynn (I think. We all take that for granted. Now) 1/

        What you've just defended is claims unhinged from reality to be taken as "true." Do you see that?

        Nope. WaPo just reported Ryan on tape. What's unhinged about that?

        Because it's not what she said would be on the tape. Again, there are facts, and you're okay w/Mensch missing by just HALF a mile.

        Gotcha and yes you're (half) right about that. It's not the example she gave but she's implied there's lots of tapes on lots of ppl

        Easy to make hit-and-miss predictions using news, history, extrapolation and crazy shit from a 'source'.

        I don't bear Mensch any personal ill-will--but watching the Liberal Conspiracy machine gin up is almost as bad as when the R's did it.

        Well, I was talking American politics. If the Tories are as conspiracy themed as the GOP, I'd be surprised tbh

        She's trying to reinvent herself as a "sleuth"after failing as an author, MP, Fashion blogger and rock chick. Manic and deluded.

        I would like to turn that around: at what point should we stop ignoring her? Let her come up with concrete evidence first.

        Not necessarily. If it's slow it may never be. If it registers in 24.00 hrs & stops it may only be once & if you have it follow time zones..
