All purpose news and politics thread part VI: This Is Not The Time For Posing

[numberthirty]

Yeah, in case anyone needs clarification here, I am mocking QAnon by considering the further implications of an apeshit insane conspiracy theory.

I am trying to figure out how what I said could be construed as a defense.

It should not have.

What was in green was the most reasonable version of what you posted. Followed closely by that you were most likely questioning just how possible their "Version..." of events actually is.

These conspiracies always trip over each other.

So between Obama’s mother secretly creating a biracial boy in the 1960s to be a Manchurian candidate with a phony birth certificate, and now the Bidens likewise creating a Manchurian candidate, made possible by faking a widely know tragedy, whom would only activate following his third attempt to win the the presidency, and be named by unknown rival, they also somehow outmaneuvered and ostracized the Clinton machine.

I mean you kind have to respect that hustle.

Qanon serves their conspiracies up a la carte.

I thought I heard them all since 2016.

I will add it to the list!

Great one.

I wish I could take credit, but I'm pretty sure I got it from someone on this board. Probably WBE.

For what it is worth, I took what you said as being dumbstruck by the stupidity of their conspiracy theory.

Same. I can't blame you for being dumbstruck by the sheer idiocy of this one.

It sounds like something that would come from this forum. WBE always has the good ones.

Got it.

You're partisan. Mets is partisan.

You'll both hone words to quark slicing edge.

Have a ball.

What Mets posted came in loud and clear to folks who do not use the forum handle "numberthirty"

Actually about as simple as that.

By the by, the Qanon crowd have adopted a new sub-theory to why the Supreme Court didn't award Trump the deference to the election, even though 1/3 of its members are Trump appointees...

They are spreading the lie that Joe Biden's daughter never died in a car accident, and Justice Amy Coney Barrett is that daughter, a plant put in place about a half century ago by Joe Biden with another family who could rise onto the Supreme Court to deny Trump a victory. (The Donald Trump who, at the time, was a sleazy real estate heir getting STDs around NYC, and that Biden had to set up this chess game with).

This makes the plot of Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars Episode VII-IX look tidy.

Sweet baby Jesus! Just when you thought you’ve heard it all! I doubt even the most hardcore Trumpanzee would swallow that bullshit.

If a mind reading machine was ever invented, “guess who actually believes what” would become an interesting party game.

I mean if you repeat a lie often enough can you actually come to truly believe it yourself? An obvious example: in the deep recesses of the Donald’s brain does he actually believe he won the election?

Yeah, I think WBE (whom I usually agree with) jumped the gun on this one because it was Mets who said it. To be clear, I did see it for the sarcasm that Mets meant it to be.

It's almost like it's really difficult to convince Republicans to do the right thing when passing bills. When are we getting to the part about blaming Democrats, that's always where this leads.

The meme is also confounding the relief bill and the military spending bill.

The sheer mendaciousness of the Blame Dems First crowd while, never matching that of the outright GOP, is never surprising either. "we Only Got $600 froM BiDEn when trump gave us $2000!!!' is a already a thing from the usual suspects.

Also, they picked Israel and Sudan out of a long list of countries and regions. Guess Nepal and Ukraine are not as sexy here.
