We need to get the right-wing and left-wing conspiracy theorists together to hash this out. Was Assads chemical attack in Idlib a false flag perpetrated by some shadowy agent (Syrian rebels, the deep state, Mossad, etc) to give Trumps 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. Hes impulsive and obsessed with projecting strength, especially in contrast to Barack Obama. When the opportunity to enforce Obamas red line presented himself, he couldnt resist. Occams Razor....

Yes, because the media and the intelligence leakers are all silly enough to just let it drop because another story exists. They can only handle one at a time, I guess. And SO much evidence has surfaced about the Russiagate story... rumors and hypotheticals and rhetorical questions and unnamed sources, and none wanted to come out BEFORE the election, because, you know, it would be a shame to block any illegal activity as a law enforcement agency.... ahem...
It’s not that liberals are all whacko.
In this case, Larry is accusing his enemies of doing what he might do. It’s called projection.
Maybe he is accusing Trump of doing something he has done in the past.
ya see, no one buy MY theory:
So they came up to him and said: “Look, we gotta lot riding on this Syria thing. How bout we give you one Supreme Court Justice for a bombing run?”
Trump’s response knowing there’s one more who probably can’t make it through another Supreme Court session: “Prove it: change the rules in the Senate to a simple majority, and you’ll get your bombing run.”
“Um... okay - just make sure you hit ‘em hard, ok?”
“Yeah, right.”
Trump calls Xi: “Okay, before you tank the dollar, give our buddy Putin a call. Tell turn on the news... I gotta go talk to the press. Be right back.”
After he returns:
Trump: “Now, tell your NORK boy that he’s next, and if I hear the word NUKE come out of his mouth, Pyongyang will glow by morning. My assistant will see you out.”

All of the MSNBC turds are utterly worthless. There is not one decent commentator there, idiots all.
The prick is certifiable. I hope to never hear him criticize anyone with a theory of conspiracy.
Lawrence ODonnell is right again, as always, but it was really Ivanka and Putin, working to increase sales of their new perfume. /s
I’d call him stupid but, that would be knowledge that is redundant to him...
Like Clinton did to distract from his affair with Monica Lewinsky?
I was telling my wife just yesterday to watch out for something like this.
This is proof that the “Russia connection” is just a conspiracy theory. The way that conspiracy thinking works, when evidence emerges that refutes the theory,it’s ALWAYS just cover.
They think of this stuff because it is what they would do.
And Larry what if you had a brain?
What Lawrence found out is that Putin loves odd numbers, which is why President Trump sent 59 Tomahawks instead of an even 60.
Liberal Mental Patients always pay attention to the details.
Would someone please bludgeon this moron?
RESIST FAKE NEWS!!!!!! RESIST WE MUST!!!
Larry is channeling Nutters Peloser ...
