You cared enough to post...

Besides which though, some of us care when our press colludes with out government to lie to use, it's kind of a big deal.

Jonah cites basically a bunch of innuendo there to try and show that Trump was in the orbit of some shady Russians (among other characters), but none of that touches the actual Russian collusion narrative that was peddled for the best part of 4 years, that was entirely based on material from the Steele dossier, which has been shown to have been a complete fiction from the start.

So when Trump Jnr was meeting up with various Russians trying to dig dirt on Hillary I assume he was doing his patriotic duty?

Like a child, wandering into a theater halfway through the movie and wondering what's going on...

I also actually can follow the plot, and I don't just mean of that movie.

Also, dude, is that seriously the first time you've noticed? I've been slipping Lebowski quotes into my responses to you for years.

Yes, and I finally decided to respond to it.

You still have not convinced me you know the meaning of that expression, let alone that you can use it correctly and in good faith, quite the opposite in fact.

None of the Mueller indictments are supposed to mean anything?

I know there is nothing one can take to court connecting Trump. But it also doesn’t mean nothing happened. We can’t say it did, but we also can’t say it didn’t. I’d rather believe Trump didn’t have any involvement. But his actions in the investigation don’t look like those of someone who had nothing to hide.

We do know Russia has been trying to interfere in various western elections. I don’t have all that proof at hand, I’ll have to see if I get a chance to pull it up, but it’s long been a whole lot more than anything brought up in this thread so far. To ignore the peril because of some bad political and media moves would be foolish, IMHO.
