earlier this morning, I saw some poll on shitty ass reactionary Newsweek or some place like it that had confidence/support for Trump's DOJ in handling Epstein in the single digits, lmao. those are toilet numbers in America, where probably a third of the US still thinks Brett Farve is a good guy.

if he pardons her, the sheer number of already unstable, armed qanon weirdos that will experience a violent psychotic break and become aggressively fixed has got to be the subject of a secret service PowerPoint slide.

That's the wild part, it really can go both ways, either they snap and try and do something funny or they double down and claim this is another 4D chess move you wouldn't understand.

Honestly Trump fans should be openly and directly questioned about who they consider should be allowed to prey on children, for them to give a list of people they consider allowed to be pedos

I wonder if a recognizable percentage will still think Trump is infallible, but that he has been replaced by a replicant/body double and that all post-epstein footage of him is AI faked.

it's important to remember how untethered to reality these people are and that this makes their behavior unpredictable. many legit thought JFK was going to rematerialize.

[–] Lyudmila@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They didn't think JFK would come back from the dead.

They thought JFK Jr. (John-John) would reveal that he didn't actually die in that plane crash in 1999.

while the more normal-ish "JFK Jr. will reveal he faked his death" faction was probably what passes for mainstream Q, there was a "JFK will also be resurrected" supernatural messianic faction of Q present for The Great Disappointment 2.

Two weeks after hundreds of people gathered in Dallas to witness what they believed was going to be the return of John F. Kennedy and JFK Jr., another large crowd gathered in downtown Dallas once again in the vain hope of seeing the former president resurrected.

The group has been in Dallas since the beginning of the month when they initially gathered based on the prediction that JFK was going to be resurrected on Nov. 2.

As Q’s followers Balkanize into new factions, Protzman’s group has separated itself from the old majority in a few ways. Among them is the idea that JFK Sr. is also coming back — at the age of 104

Amazing, holy shit.

I think the QAA podcast did an episode on this faction, but its been a while and too many factions to cover

Yeah I'd imagine the loonier bunch is floating around in the aether of Q shit while those more in touch with reality are probably like "ummm wtf".

The lady in charge of Project Camelot (can't remember her name, crazy alien lizard shape shifting type conspiracy) thinks Trump is a clone that is somehow acting out/malfunctioned/etc

diverted state of Mississippi funds earmarked for food stamps and welfare funds to his own bullshit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi_welfare_funds_scandal

a local reporter uncovered the whole thing. it is fucking wild and so consistent with rich people looting public funds to further enrich themselves at the expense of the most vulnerable.

here's a video account summary (~18 mins) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Efp3_TjHuYY

additional update (~9 mins) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haGZ96LyB0I

and it's obvious he knew how fucked it was, because he texted the ringleader to make sure it wouldn't get out. guy is a phenomenal piece of shit with a carefully crafted public image so far from reality, it exists in a theoretical dimension.

yeah, it's crazy. i think i heard about it around ~2 years ago, because a friend of mine clued me in to the coverage. at the time we both worked in "The Academy" and are both into watching the ways in which academia is being used as a tool of neoliberalism to maintain the capitalist structure, so the granular details of federal Temporary Assistance aka direct distributed money for need families--which Mississippi rejects 90% of to keep its underclass even more desperate--be pipelined to do capital investment for university expansion of sports infrastructure with that money was like... i dunno, the holy grail of corruption and graft. i mean, it was so bad that some of the central figures got caught, indicted, and convicted. if you're rich, white, famous and still manage to end up hip deep in shit for screwing over broke minorities in mississippi... you really went too hard.

the fact that it was an NFL grifter with hundreds of millions of his own money that pressured for and brokered the deal while also pocketing a few million from the cut as a sweetener was just chefs-kiss

the university, the state apparatus, and some aspects of sports media have done much to try and memoryhole it through underreporting, both to protect the institutions as well as a bankable celebrity property/"local hero" from a connected family (Favre)... but the fact that the shitwizard in the middle decided to roll over and cooperate after facing 35 YEARS in prison, releasing tons of communications and texts has troubled those attempts... because a lot of shit is now public record.

This is also on the state of Mississippi, given that they can basically take the funds and do whatever they want with them as long as they justify it as a “welfare service”.

What happens if he just serves up 5 democratic pedophiles and maybe 1 billionaire and calls it quits? The problem is, who talks, who is killed immediately, do they start pointing fingers?
