Lawrence O’Donnell: What if Putin and Trump arranged the Syria bombing to distract from Russiagate?
Hot Air ^ | April 8, 2017 | Allahpundit

We need to get the right-wing and left-wing conspiracy theorists together to hash this out. Was Assad’s chemical attack in Idlib a false flag perpetrated by some shadowy agent (Syrian rebels, the “deep state,” Mossad, etc) to give Trump’s new establishment masters a pretext to lead him into war? Or was it a real attack cynically exploited by Trump a la “Wag the Dog” to change the subject from bad news here at home (the Russia probe, health-care failure, sagging job approval, etc), possibly with the cooperation of Vladimir Putin? Under the first theory, American hawks are trying to push Trump into conflict with Russia and Assad. Under the second theory, Trump and Putin are trying to create the appearance of conflict to give him cover on Russiagate and other matters. Which is it?

An alternate theory via McKay Coppins: Despite the many approving noises about isolationism that he made as a candidate, Trump is a Jacksonian. He’s impulsive and obsessed with projecting strength, especially in contrast to Barack Obama. When the opportunity to enforce Obama’s “red line” presented himself, he couldn’t resist.

Of course it was Trump who stole the strawberries, and gave them to Putin.

What if Lawrence O’Donnell doesn’t want anyone to know the Syrian people don’t want to be refugees, they want to stay in their own country. And they like it when Assad gets whupped.

Same people who say Bush blew up the WTC (the airplanes where holograms), aliens run the government, the earth is flat, and fluoride in water is for mass mind control.

What if Lawrence O’Donnell and Putin arranged the bombing so that Lawrence could pretend he has a measurable IQ?

That’s the best analysis of “Russia Gate” I’ve read so far! Excellent!

What if Putin and ILLary arranged for the 30,000 emails to disappear because they showed that she agreed with Obola’s “flexibility” position?

If this isn’t proof that liberals are certifiably whacko, then I don’t know what is.

I jokingly posed this question yesterday morning. More like, “How long will it take before some Democrat says....

Well, that question has been answered.

Of course I/We did. It’s one of the plausible theories:

1. 50% Trump is right. Stupid Assad did it and deserves what he got. We win.

2. 25% Trump blew it. It was a False Flag all the way. But we still win due to great PR.

3. 15% Trump knows it’s a False Flag but knows a good PR opportunity when he sees one. We win.

4. 10% Trump and Putin with help from Bannon and Kushner working to kill the Russiagate investigation. Big success for our team. We win.
