I'm waiting while I get my oil changed and a guy just walked in and sat down as the news on TV was talking about mask mandates on planes. He immediately said "it's stupid" loud enough for everyone to hear and sat down. I look over and he's wearing a Let's go Brandon hat.
He's also reading a book. I'll admit I'm really curious what it is. |

He's reading Glenn Beck's book The Great Reset
He's also wearing a UW jacket which is kind of ironic. Edit: he's found a sympathic ear in an old lady that's also waiting here. So far he's talked about Fauci and Gates developing Covid, the swamp being "millions and millions" of people and far deeper than people realize, and the DoJ going after grandma's and grandpa's that did nothing on Jan 6th.

The koolaid is powerful. Not only that people buy all this shit, but feel confident enough to preach it like a sermon.

There is some absolutely insane stuff out there. Not going to link it directly, but it is just complete insanity. And it has a big following.

Nah, none of this is new. It's just like how we are more aware of police violence than we used to because the internet age makes it easier to find out what's going on. All of this has always been there. We're not getting worse as a species, we are just becoming more aware of how flawed we have always been. |

And easier to disseminate bullshit because these conversations that once took place in someone's basement, between two delusional friends, now find thousands of eyes. Those with common sense and intelligence, laugh, shake their heads and dismiss them. Those that have mental health issues, are easily gullible, or just looking for a reason to lash out soak it in and it becomes part of their fabric. So yeah, we have always been flawed as a species, it is now a bigger danger to our way of life than ever before because these flawed, mentally weak, unstable people can unite.

I used to think we had two justice systems, but that's wrong, we have three.
One for rich people. One for white people. One for people who are not white. Edit: this was in response to RM's post on the last page (the last post on the last page). Carry on. Last edited by flere-imsaho : 04-15-2022 at 06:39 AM. |

This is obviously the result of a conspiracy.

He's also apparently moved millions (read..nearly all assets of infowars) to an offshore account in anticipation of this move. He has no intention of paying anything to them.

Mark Meadows gave a bunch of texts to the J6 Committee. Then he suddenly decided "Wait, executive privilege." But based on the leaks from the texts we are getting, those texts make a LOT of non-Mark Meadows people look pretty bad.
So I'm keeping an open mind, but I'm thinking that Meadows knew exactly what he was doing. It would not shock me if he had a cooperation agreement with DOJ. It would also not shock me if he didn't have a formal agreement but knew that getting out how bad everyone else was would help take heat off him. I think he's at least trying to play a little 3D chess here. |

It's absurd to read those texts and see multiple people who explicitly laid out conspiracy plans prior to Jan 6th, conjuring up images of Antifa pushing the levers behind a conspiracy they themselves invented mere days before, the instant things turn sour.

I left FB last September and have largely not missed it. But I use Twitter as more of an instant news feed than anything, so I'd really have a hard time letting go but if my timeline is going to get filled with 2016-2020 levels of Trump, I may not have much choice.

I saw one rumor that Musk is going to establish a paywall with tiered membership fees. I have hard time believing that, but it would be one way to watch someone flush 45b down the toilet.

If he can effectively rid Twitter of spambots, that would be a welcome improvement.
When he says he's going to "authenticate humans," I suppose a credit card is one way to do that...

Trump held in contempt of court in NY lawsuit from DA James.
Trump found in civil contempt of court by New York judge Sadly the fine will mean nothing to him-only way he complies is if he's ordered to go to jail until he complies

I've thought that fines, by and large, should be keyed toward someone's income and assets. Like a sports league's fine of players shouldn't be for $X. It should be for X% of their salary/pro-rated bonus. Same here. $10,000/day means nothing to Trump. But even one day of it would be impossible for most people. And a lot of upper class folks couldn't handle it for more than a few days. Seems inequitable. |

“This is a distraction, folks. Come on. This is simply a distraction by the left trying to drive a wedge in a very unified Republican Party and a very unified conference,” said Representative Barry Loudermilk of Georgia ... “A lot of this stuff is just drama that the American people don’t care about,” Greene said ... “The New York Times reporting on me is totally false and wrong. It comes as no surprise that the corporate media is obsessed with doing everything it can to further a liberal agenda,” McCarthy said. And people believe everything these people say. It's cool to lead when all you need to do is pwn the other side. Never govern, until you have total authority, then do whatever the fuck you want without even thinking of letting the public have a say......see the Mickey Mouse War of 2022.

"Well, you know. All the Democrats want to do is raise the prices of your groceries and your gas, but dumb people voted for them because they didn't like some of Trump's tweets..." or so I was informed by a customer today. The one with the "Jo and the Ho has got to go" bumper-sticker.

No, I don't think it's to create uneducated people, but to create future generations brought up on white Christian nationalist beliefs. That's the point of all of these moral outrage campaigns, to sow distrust in public education. Same playbook on how they created media distrust, then our electoral process.

Greene saying the Catholic Church is run by Satan and unsafe for children seems like it could be exploited by a competent political party.
