This whole country is just built on a lack of accountability. All this q-anon shit is, is a giant web of that.
Find something to shift the blame onto for your own populations shortcomings. Distract from your real issues by making up new ones.
“Coronavirus is killing people”
“Yeah but Obama is trafficking children via pizza delivery”
Wut.

It's totally unheard of for a sitting President to promote a business. It's ILLEGAL. It's totally outrageous and unfair to any competing manufacturers. Can you imagine the outrage if Obama sat behind his desk surrounded by fuckin Premium Plus crackers (teehee) with a shiny smile saying every democrat who loves America should buy them? Sure there are times when a famous person wears something and incidentally it ends up promoted but a photo shoot for that sole purpose? Unfathomable.

The whole political and legal system in the USA is a fucking bad joke nowadays.

The Trump administration is showing these Federal "institutions" have been nothing but paper tigers. There are no "checks and balances", the US is much closer to a plutocracy then ever before, people are just seeing the reality of it all now. Trump can, and will, get away with whatever he wants.

I used to laugh when Bill Maher was freaking out about Trump not leaving office if he lost, I've started to come around on this idea, I really don't think he'll fuck off. Even if Biden wins, his children and him are here to stay, make no doubt about it.

So you admit trumps a failure?

I've been seeing more n more people abroad latch onto the child sex trafficking ring conspiracy, especially since ghislane maxwell was arrested

Aside from social media, friends I have in Australia began posting calls for action against ppl like Epstein, Maxwell, Weinstein, then I guess they fell into a rabbit hole, and some have started posting about pizzagate (they never heard about it before this)

underscore 07-18-2020 02:07 PM

^ off topic but have you seen the absurd Wayfair human trafficking conspiracy?

StylinRed 07-18-2020 03:49 PM

Wayfair the home decor website? :lol no

The viral rumors go like this:

Wayfair.com, a website that sells home goods and furniture, listed several cabinets, pillows and other items for thousands of dollars. Some of those items had names that purportedly matched reports of missing children from around the country, such as Neriah, Samiyah and Yeritza.

Tens of thousands of social media users pieced those observations together with cell phone screenshots, red circles and lots of question marks to accuse Wayfair of selling and shipping children to pedophiles.

"Anons may have busted a human trafficking ring from a seller on WayFair. Selling $10K cabinets that are worth $200 with names of missing children," wrote one Facebook page.

"⁦@Wayfair⁩ needs to be closely examined by @FBI," one Twitter user said.

"When will the mainstream media talk about WayFair trafficking?" asked an Instagram account dedicated to the conspiracy theory.

underscore 07-18-2020 07:53 PM

^ and it started with one person on Reddit somehow making the leap that because they're expensive it's probably human trafficking.

On a Trump related note, albeit a few days late

a lot of times you will see items on places like eBay with outrages prices. It's because the item is out of stock but they don't want to lose the listing. So they jack up the price so no one will buy it then reduce the price when they get it in stock.

That's probably whats happening on wayfair.

President Trump won’t agree to accept 2020 election results as Biden leads in polls — ‘I have to see’

President Donald Trump declined Sunday to say he would accept the results of the 2020 election, adding that he will “have to see” and claiming without evidence that mail-in voting will “rig the election.”

You have got to be kidding me. Thank god you are not a US citizen with voting rights, they've got enough idiots down there.

I get things in the mail urging me to "Vote Republican" that have lists that look just like that.

There was recently a candidacy election here between a rich housewife and a former sheriff for the Republican primary. The rich housewife's campaign materials were fucking wild.


Check out dead-eyed fucking Patti Mayonnaise here. This is a real television ad.




She has become a local meme. This here is truly her best work.




Kathaleen Wall ended up losing to the sheriff after spending $6mil on ads to his mere $400k . This is the second time shes lost, by the way, after losing to that eyepatch guy who went on SNL to confront Pete Davidson.


Anyway, the point is that the Republican talking points are scare tactic bullshit that readers respond to. Prospective candidates in their primaries have to race to the right, stopping just short of actually advocating lynching "The Coloureds".

Its obviously not true but Grandma Gertrude, clutching her pearls & remembering the day when "people knew their place, wants a candidate who will put America back in that period between 1950 and 1965 that the boomers so desperately want to return to.

Not sure how you can handle living down there El Bastardo, living in American politics, notably Texas, would make me go out of my frigging mind.
