What the hell are those men wearing?

Soopermum1 · 13/12/2020 09:59

I have a question for those far more informed than me. So, if Sidney Powell and Linn Wood are not part of Trump's official team? Why are they bothering with all these legal cases, and how are they being funded?

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 13/12/2020 10:22

Off-topic, I suppose (I can't face the Proud Boys crap that's going on, nor the Brexit crap, so here's some inferior white male crap to add to it)
www.wsj.com/articles/is-there-a-doctor-in-the-white-house-not-if-you-need-an-m-d-11607727380?fbclid=IwAR0CCD_R8xhXUopilFvgJwQZ0uPTqX6LegTQecmNLkauj4wVZyamVR6Fcmk Opinion article in the Wall Street Journal by Joseph Epstein, just takes my breath away with its foolish arrogance and lack of respect. But typical, and to be expected, nowadays, with the terrible male chauvinists we have leading some countries at the moment. I think I might move to New Zealand.

Powell and Wood (along with ex Gen Flynn) are deep down thr Qanon rabbit hole. Powell has a separate funding stream going and I'm sure there are plenty of conspiracy theorists willing to donate.

So sorry, ignore me, I see @lionheart got there before me, in fact I may have followed the link from here in the first place. BlushBlush I'll just go and bake a cake. Clearly all this female graduate is capable of. Blush

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 13/12/2020 10:49

I only hope this isn't a repeat of an image someone has already shared here Blush First time I'd seen it, anyway!

That is a very good question, *Soopermum1". Who is funding Powell?

I'm sure there's lots of dark money sloshing around, not just from the Kochtopus.

It's going to get worse, isn't it? The violence.

Not sure the anti-Trump side is helping. The confrontations only fuel the right-wingers.

DuncinToffee · 13/12/2020 11:21

If it wasn't for the violence, you would think proud boys were taking the piss Borat style.

Roussette · 13/12/2020 11:29

I agree Duncin. They're just laughable, baring their arses is like a group of 16 year olds would do. Pathetic.

Why are the Q-bots now saying that China is on the verge of invading the US? 🤔

PerkingFaintly · 13/12/2020 12:26

The Trumpster losing it's shine for the Q-bots? Dear me.

They need a big dead cat / new enemy. The hive's gotta be fed something.

PerkingFaintly · 13/12/2020 12:28

If you're a disruptivist, then behaving laughably and taking the piss is just fine

Fro them, the only thing worse than being talked about, is not being talked about.

Yes, apparently 50, 000 Chinese troops were killed in a ditch on the Canadian border a few days ago. But the mainstream media are covering it up by pretending there was an earthquake in Maine Musta been a hell of a big ditch.

Fucking bonkers all of Qthem

BruceAndNosh · 13/12/2020 15:02

I'm quite happy if the GOP turns in on itself.

And all these "militia" that are going to be called up.
What are they actually going to do? Who and where do they wave their guns at?

Sorry, but if your brain lacks the filter to stop and process that and work out the reality involved than you are thick and stupid and ignorant and frankly education is wasted on you. I imagine there is probably a tight if not 100$% intersection between people who swallowed that crock and people who feel that they'd all be working for NASA if it wasn't for so many damn immigrants.

This is where indulging stupid gets you, and what it looks like. I hope that warm (and I suspect sanctimonious) glow you've had these past few years were worth it.

He's tweet raging this morning.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 13/12/2020 16:46

I absolutely love the idea of Canada failing to notice 50,000 Chinese troops walking in regardless of quarantine rules -- which Canada has just extended against America again, or so they said on the radio a couple of days ago. Maybe the Canadians reckon the Chinese are less plague-ridden than America so they didn't care?

Not at all--it bears some scrutiny.

Ugh.

Speculation swirls over Ivanka Trump’s potential run for US Senate in Florida.

Trump and Kushner reportedly buying property as a potential base for soon to be ex-first daughter to launch political career.

Freshe new hell:

www.nytimes.com/2020/12/13/us/politics/trump-allies-election-overturn-congress-pence.html

'President Trump lost key swing states by clear margins. His barrage of lawsuits claiming widespread voting fraud has been almost universally dismissed, most recently by the Supreme Court. And on Monday, the Electoral College will formally cast a majority of its votes for President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.

But as the president continues to refuse to concede, a small group of his most loyal backers in Congress is plotting a final-stage challenge on the floor of the House of Representatives in early January to try to reverse Mr. Biden’s victory.'

lifesabitchandthenyoudie · 13/12/2020 17:16

Coming out of the woodwork to comment on @Jaichangecentfoisdenom and @lionheart's link - reading that piece took me straight down the rabbit hole that is my awful narcissistic ex's version of ultra-intelligent twattish opining. urgh.

Luckily, Jai, I have already made a cake. I'm going to have some now but add a good glug of whiskey to it, to recover.

Why are there so bloody many of these horrible people???
