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

[Tami]

Is it really any more crazy then some of the other crap they have come up with?

Anyone can come up with crazy conspiracy theories, with a bit of imagination.

For example, some forty years ago, Trump had a secret affair with Seryl Stadtmauer (nee Kushner).

Out of that affair a child was born, Jared.

Jared was raised under the belief that he was actually the son of Charles Kushner.

See how easy it is?

I enjoy crazy conspiracy theories sometimes. But sadly the days when it was just a few crackpots who thought of the stuff like that has become too large a segment of the voting population.

Yes years ago in Turkey, a greater place for conspiracist thinking,

The alleged ideology of the deep state is anti-socialist, ultra-nationalist,[citation needed] anti-Islamist, secularist, anti-Kurdish, anti-democratic, and anti-liberal.[6] As pointed out by former prime minister Bülent Ecevit, the diversity of opinion reflects the diversity of the various deep state coalitions,[7] as the deep state is not so much an alliance, as several groups that work behind the scenes, each in pursuit of its own agenda.[8][9][10] Another explanation contradicts the reduction of the deep state to an interest network and defines it as a type of domination based on the high level of autonomy enjoyed by the military that enables the security apparatus to disrupt formal democratic institutions (in the foreground) by employing a sui generis repertoire of informal institutions (in the background), i.e. putsch threat, autocratic cliques, mafia, organized crime and corruption.[11] Rumours and conspiracy theories of a deep state existing have been widespread in Turkey since Ecevit's term as prime minister in the 1970s, after his revelation of the existence of a Turkish counterpart to Italy's Operation Gladio, the "Counter-Guerrilla".[12][13] Many Turks, including elected politicians, have rejected assertions that the deep state doesn't exist.[14][15]

oh wait that turned out to be true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_state_in_Turkey

let's see let me try again

Mia Farrow was married to legendary singer Frank Sinatra in 1966, and the couple tied the knot in Las Vegas. Mia was just a 21-year-old at the time, and Sinatra was 50. After the wedding, he wanted her to let go of her acting career, to which she agreed. 1967 saw the end of the Farrow-Sinatra relationship. Mia Farrow married director, Woody Allen in 1979. Over the course of their marriage, which lasted until 1992, Mia adopted seven children and had four biological children, one of which was Ronan Farrow, who was born in 1987.

no way is it true that Ronan's father is Frank. Or is it? https://www.earnthenecklace.com/fact...frank-sinatra/

If I were a novelist, I'd get a lot of ideas from the conspiracy theories the right cook up.

So because Ronan's father may or may not Frank and because of some crazy stuff in Turkey a long time ago we should all just accept the GOP BS that Trump won the election and it was stolen by Biden and Biden needs to be thrown out of office and thrown in jail?

I like to think I am an open minded guy. So if any member of the GOP can prove there is indeed a deep state conspiracy theory I will treat them to lunch.

They have their choice of 2 places. One is this great pizza place in Washington DC that my friend Bill Clinton told me about. But since I hear that is mostly a democrat hangout maybe we could go to the Illuminati Cafe. That place is a little more tricky. To read the menu you have to decode secret messages that were printed by free masons in 1776.

Conspiracies make for great drama in novels, comic books, movies and television. However, in real life, most of the time, it would be way too much trouble to carry out these long range conspiracies. And in my experience, conspiracy theories are usually long on motive and short on evidence. They can usually give you plenty of reasons why they would want to do it, but very little if any actual evidence of it.

WATCH: QAnon supporters chant ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ while holding ‘Trump-Kennedy’ banner

QAnon supporters gathered in Dallas on Tuesday in the hopes that John F. Kennedy, Jr. would make major revelations.

"QAnon supporters are gathering for an event in Texas on Tuesday at which they falsely believe JFK junior will reveal he is not dead and announce a 2024 presidential run with Donald Trump, the former president," the Independent reports.

The son of America's 35th president died in 1999.

Journalist Steven Monacelli posted a video of members of the crowd chanting a euphemism for "f*ck Joe Biden" while holding a Trump-Kennedy QAnon banner. Although, the banner is from 2020, showing yet another "prophecy" that did not occur.

I do like how now that stupid Lets Go Brandon deal will now be tied to Qanon for this. Good job there.

QAnon loons are becoming loonier by the day, and this is one of the crazier theories I’ve heard yet.

QAnon loons are becoming loonier by the day, and this is one of the crazier theories I’ve heard yet.

Normal people, everyday: "Man, this Q theory is the dumbest and craziest thing I've ever heard!"

Q-Anon, everyday: "Wait, wait...hold my beer."

The same could be said for most states with Republican Governors. With a few exceptions. Look what would happen to Jersey with Ciarelli.

Don't Scare me like that. No, no way will that happen. Murphy will win, he has to or NJ will be in worse shape than nt was with Christie.

That depends on how much power any state governor has respective to the legislature, and how that legislature leans. A Republican governor dealing with a supermajority Democratic legislature will have his hands severely tied, especially if that legislature is backed by liberal courts - to give an example at one end of the extreme.
