    Yes. Of course it is. Trump being involved doesn’t mean conspiracy theories are real

      Lets be perfectly clear here, conspiracies are real. I don’t know what the fuck you mean by this comment. Yes, there are outlandish conspiracy theories and most are bullshit. But that doesn’t make all conspiracy theories bullshit. Some (many) have to be true, because many end up turning out to be true.

        Yeah, but we only know that with empirical evidence.

        What empirical evidence is there here? The video is too grainy? “I’ve seen too many hollywood movies—this is something the joker would do”?

          I wasn’t talking about this video at all, my reply was referring to the dismissive tone of the entire concept of a conspiracy.

          As if RICO laws weren’t created (and implemented pretty successfully) for a reason.
