If only there were some sort of thing people could, I don't know, get injected in their arms that might help with such things!

Obviously not. It's ultraviolet light in the rectum.

Some have suggested that the Deep State is already seeking to undermine Trump’s second presidency by plotting a civil war or scheming ways to prevent him from entering the White House

Because they are, and this is the really important part, FUCKING IDIOTS WHO SAY DUMB SHIT.

This is the shit that gets me upset. Back in the early 90s there was this group online, had an IRC chat room and everything, that would wax prophetic about pyramids, exotic matter, the Kennedy's, and the Pentagon. NO ONE FUCKING WROTE ARTICLES ABOUT THEIR DUMB ASSES. Because they were idiots.

"Some have suggested" WHO?! Name and shame or shut the fuck up about it. Articles like this just fucking make idiots look bonafide. This isn't an us vs them situation. This is like eight people who are detached from reality saying crazy ass shit and some outlet reporting it on a slow news day.

I swear one day, I hope, media will see how fucking twisted they themselves have made this god-forsaken planet. What they draw from it, I know not what, but hopefully a bit of "damn maybe we should chill a bit" is in the cards.

There’s actually good reason not to point people to fringe outlets pushing conspiracies.

Also, fringe IRC channels didn’t infiltrate an entire political party

Yeah, we really don't need to know what they talked about on coast to coast am last night.

Seeing how RFK is trying to get the polio vaccine banned I could see this actually happening but not in the way conspiracy theorist are hoping it will happen. 😂

I bet thats the play - they spread rumours of a “plandemic” to cover the real polio pandemic when it arrives

I'm betting on the mystery illness spreading in the Congo right now.

[–] NaibofTabr 3 points 8 months ago

The plan is coming from inside the (white) house.

undermine Trump's second presidency

He's been impeached, convicted, and had an absolutely awful pandemic response, and noneof it ultimately mattered, he served his whole term and got a second one. Trying to hurt his reputation is a lost cause, not to mention JD Vance is the fallback.
