Yeah after about 40 seconds he suddenly ratchets it up to the "Wait, WHAT???" level. And it goes on for ten minutes. There was a time when people like this were put into institutions. Maybe that wasn't such a bad idea.

Yes, I do wonder how many are mentally ill. They certainly show disordered thinking.

Pretty much par for the course. As much shouting as he did about NAFTA becoming the USMCA, it really didn't change all that much, and a lot of the biggest changes were actually in Canada's and Mexico's favor. I think the biggest concession that Trump got was slightly greater access to the Canadian milk market, which we had already agreed to in the TPP deal that Trump pulled out of.

I'm increasingly of the opinion that a whole lot of people literally went insane after 9/11, and that this was never properly recognized and dealt with. Twenty years on, we have guys like this, who have lived most of their lives in a literally insane world, surrounded by insane people, thinking the insanity was just normal.
 
We've spent 30+ years letting the internet destroy every possible intellectual standard, method of distributing information, and way of arguing a point.

Sane, crazy... that distinction is pointless in a post-fact world.

Tsk... you haven’t been keeping up with the latest technology... Trump will be using a particle beam....

“...It fiddles with the screen itself injecting a state of the art particle beam to override the screen and project new content.”

And that appears to be a serious answer.....

Sounds like they just finished watching Wonder Woman 84

ETA: Ninja'd! That's what I get for not reading the thread to the end.

I was going to say that they were wrong but maybe I misunderstood. I thought that they were saying after the election it would be gone; but, in fact, they meant that after the "election"* it would be gone.

* The "election" happening on the 6th of January, according to Trump**.
** Of course, daily deaths are higher than ever so I suppose that we mean coverage of Covid-19.

They're not all there

See how far you can watch this interview with the Q-Anon shaman, before giving up. I made about 40 seconds. He starts with moderately conventional conspiracies (yada yada world bank yada yada and then... um... what the no-longer updated crank.net website would have classed as illucid

I tried to watch that, too. I expected far-right rhetoric, but when he mentioned MKULTRA, I knew what I was in for.

I was listening the other day to some yapper give a list of Donald Trump's accomplishments, and Space Force was way up high on the list. Trump himself has bragged about it. I think the MAGAs somehow really believe that the establishment of Space Force was a truly magnificent accomplishment, so they would want to include that as part of their bragging at every turn.


All he did was take the Air Force Space Command, and reorganize the chain of command a bit. It was probably a good idea, but it was hardly a major accomplishment.


A clown like the one who gave us that prediction about using GBS would no doubt attribute it's amazing abilities as one of Trump's superpowers.

It wasn't even his idea...it was being tossed around as a possibility back in the late 90's and throughout my whole 12 year career in AFRES (mostly during Clinton admin). It came up again under the Obama administration.

Not that taking credit for someone else's accomplishments is a new thing, but Trump was able to take advantage of the low intelligence and level of education of his supporters to take it to a whole new level.

And yet with all the supposed media savvy they failed to lock down the brand name and lost the trademark to Netflix.
 
I see a Houston police officer with 18 years on the job resigned from the force. He posted a selfie of himself storming the Capitol.

2 other police officers were arrested and more than a dozen others are under investigation. From what I can see, I bet a minimum of 20 police officers are going down.

If Trump was genuinely concerned about stopping further violence, he'd acknowledge he lost the election to Biden.

Sorry, I couldn't get beyond Trump being concerned about anything but himself.

Lots of people dying of Covid-19... Is he concerned? I guess it depends on what effect it has on his polling numbers/ratings...

Climate Change? Does it matter if he is not around when the worst effects hit? No.

Political violence? It depends...is there a chance it could keep him in the White House? If so he'll be all for it.

That is the sum total of his concerns. How does it personally affect him? And he probably thinks it is the sum total of what everyone else cares about to the extent he cares about them.
