#Trump went on to suggest that the question was a “desecration” of the memory of those who had recently died in floods in the Texas Hill Country.

It was a strangely aggressive reaction from the man whose most fervent supporters had spent years talking about #Epstein, the…convicted #SexOffender who died in prison [during Trump’s first term🤨] before his last trial, in which he faced charges for #SexTrafficking minors.

During the 2024 campaign, #Trump, when asked, pledged to release documents related to the investigation, commonly referred to as the “ #EpsteinFiles.” A key tenet of the #CultOfPersonality around Trump was the belief that his second presidency would result in the #Epstein documents revealing a secret #cabal of #Democratic #pedophiles [ #QAnon #ConspiracyTheories which Trump leaned into].

@existentialcomics Maybe it was all a ploy to make the right wing discover that their heroes are child rapists themselves. They would never have believed it if the claim came from moderate journalists or the victims. First they have to become true believers in the conspiracy, then you reveal who the villains are after they have committed to the hunt.

This is my own personal conspiracy theory on the subject

" #Epstein Alleged in Emails That Trump #Knew of His Conduct

In a message obtained by Congress, the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Donald J. Trump spent hours at his house with one of Mr. Epstein’s victims"

imagine the cognitive dissonance today in the minds of #qanon/ #MAGA turds obsessed with uncovering elite pedophiles, and realizing they were tricked into supporting... an elite pedophile

of course, many will cry "fake news!"

still

Trump was already cutting low-income energy assistance – the shutdown is making things worse as cold weather arrives

Nearly a quarter of US households struggle to pay their energy bills at the same time as America’s social safety nets, including home heat aid, are disappearing.

@TheConversationUS #DonaldTheDeplorable is going his damned best to turn the #UnitedStates into another #Russia. #Qanon in the #Kremlin is celebrating the ‘success’ of Agent #Krasnov.

#Project2025 , #American#Carnage2.0, #USpol #kakistocracy , whatever you want to call it, it is all just the means of achieving the *same* underlying goal; #Russia taking revenge on the #UnitedStates for the disintegration of the #SovietUnion after losing losing the #ColdWar.

Many who condemned his tactics were scolded by our fellow anarchists and militant greenies, and especially primitivists (people like John Zerzan and Derrick Jensen). They claimed our commitment to nonviolence only served the interests of ecocidal power, which could only hear us if we spoke in its own language; violence.

But unlike them, we could see Kaczynski's crypto-fascism for what it was. Despite it being clothed in the sentiments and language of radical environmentalism.

#NathanJRobinson: "JHelp me better understand how QAnon could become a thing."

"It's a live action role playing game in which you, somebody who knows nothing about politics, can be involved in the most important things that are happening in the world, in which there is an apocalyptic crescendo at the end.

The #LLM Mentalist article is excellent! Reminded me of another great article I read a while ago about how #QAnon was using game theory to induce fervent belief in the accuracy of predictions.

I've seen a few articles already about the tragic consequences for vulnerable psyches who believed a Chatbot 'really understood them'

Why do fascists love yoga? Stewart Home has written a book, "Fascist Yoga: Grifters, Occultists, White Supremacists, and the New Order in Wellness," looking at how white supremacy and wellness came to be connected in the west, and continue to be linked today via movements like QAnon. The Observer talked to him and other experts on the subject. “I ... think there’s a broad overlap,” podcaster Travis View says, “between the hyper-individualism of the far right and new age wellness thinking. There’s a distrust of, for example, public health measures and a belief that you have a moral obligation to take care of your own health entirely. This is why there’s so much overlap in anti-vaccine belief; it’s a far-right belief, but also something you’d see in crunchy yoga circles.”

"He’s tried ordering his base to stop talking about Epstein and claiming Obama, Hillary, etc., fabricated the Epstein files to begin with, but his base isn’t having it. The replies to his TruthSocial posts are overwhelmingly negative, and these folks are mad as hell."

"Epstein was MAGA’s best chance to show the world that they weren’t crazy, that they’d been right all along, and that Donald Trump was, in fact, anointed by God to 'drain the swamp' and punish the pedophiles they believe actually run the world. Now, that’s gone. ...

Donald Trump’s strategy is posting through it, but every time he posts, it gets worse for him."

"The Trump Regime packed the cabinet with MAGA influencers that the conspiracy-believers love, starting with RFK Jr., but also Kash Patel and Dan Bongino. False conspiracy theories and the people who are obsessed with them now drive policy in the US, and are destroying the U.S. Federal Government one agency at a time."
