This is fucking great.

"Backfired" insofar as no one cares at all, yet people are trying to dunk on Republicans over this absolutely boring piece of nothing?

Yes. The right feels so ashamed that this two-bit psychic implied sadness by Trump on Fox News. We won!!!

I promise you, more Democrats than Republicans have seen and cared about this. We're winning! A psychic said so! They're the crazy ones, not us!!

For fucks sake, yall.

Not really seeing anybody saying this. The sentiment moreso seems that it's just laughing at fox news stupidity.

It's Fox News, they've definitely seen it. Also, apparently some of these nutjobs clearly believe in psychics, why else would they have one as a guest?

I mean, I don't believe in this shit but "a sense of loss" could be anything. It could mean Trump's loss in the election, or the loss of democracy in the US as we know it (i.e. trump wins). I'm a way it's a very fitting card either way.

I don't know if she proceeded to "analyze" the card any further.

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

It's Tarot, the trick is that you can spin it anyway you want: "Oh this card means a sense of loss, he will probably lose the election" or "Oh this card symbolizes the sense of loss a lot of his opponents will feel when he wins" or "This means that for him to emerge victorious he will have to leave many things that he holds dear behind"

She's a bad psychic but more importantly a bad con woman.

Thats Maggie Smith with a wig.

Are we sure it's not Rachel Dratch in a wig doing a bit for Last Week Tonight?

I hope history remembers that the same month NASA announced it was studying UFOs is the same month one of the Voyager probes started going nuts. I want to be a dramatic moment for people in the future that really summarized well our decent into next dark ages.

No joke, the article says she pulled the death card out of the Tarot deck.

[–] Thisfox@sopuli.xyz 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hmm, but not the tower or chariot? Death isn't assigned the meaning you think it is. It is more about reaping what you sow, or receiving a change to your life, than dealing with death itself. Not saying I believe the meanings, but I know what they are meant to represent.
