They were making fun of it. And when they put up the pictures supposedly proving the body double bit. They also included the comments from obvious democrats. One showed a picture showing 2 shots of Hillary and the comment was something like the body doubles name were lighting and shading. They also showed body doubles for dipshit donnie. Cheetos and side by side picture of him and one of those bald crested cats with orange hair.

Same as it ever was.

Too many easily accept the conspiracy theories they are fed because they like them; never asking the questions that matter.

because, for all their bluster, they don't vote.
Recent reasons cited by some in that group include: If you vote for anyone but Hillary your name will be put on her hit list, chemtrails might get me, zombies might attack, they will bug my house/car/office if I leave, if I vote I will be audited by the IRS, if I register to vote it makes it easier to take my guns......
