Saw a headline somewhere that alluded that old Rupert would pay Trump to continue to like Fox News.
Not quite as mindblowing as one vote (the current margin in IA-02), but still pretty wild.

Right wing nuttery right now feels like at the end of The Thing - when it goes through every different metamorphosis during its death throes - in an ever increasing tempo.

Iāve spent 20 full years now continuously thinking both āit canāt get much crazierā and āthe craziness is good for the left.ā Iāve been wrong for all 20 years so Iām not betting these things will suddenly become true now.

It is really insane how much we acclimatise to this stuff. Matt Christman has been saying the last few years that QAnon is going to become the Republican mainstream and I was like āwell, I donāt know, seems hyperbolic, I mean a couple people elected and the base enthused, sure, but this stuff is for the rubes, it wonāt get into the halls of powerā. Then the other day the GOP account tweeted a woman claiming that the election was stolen by an algorithm personally designed by Hugo Chavez to deliver elections into the hands of global Communism. So yeah, my betting lines on this shit are off the board as well.

This is way, way more believable than most QAnon stuff.

QAnon is a big spectrum, I donāt expect the stuff about holograms and whatever to hit the mainstream, but the idea that thereās a conspiracy of Democrats and deep state sickos to abuse children or whatever is hardly that outlandish given Epstein etc.
The Chavez thing sounds superficially plausible until you think about what the fuck is meant by āalgorithmā there. To rig elections you hide or destroy ballots, or you just change the count which involves altering a few numbers in a database. Hiring computer science Ph. Ds isnāt going to get you anywhere, they arenāt wizards.

Right, I never watch clips of this stuff because I value my mental health, but on Chapo Matt said that MAGA idiots listen to this stuff ālike a dog does, they listen to toneā which I think is very accurate, and that Sydney Powell, even disregarding the content of what she said, sounded like a crazy person. Then they played an audio clip and holy shit. She had that weird energy you get from mentally ill people where they talk with absolute conviction but at the same time are casting about for words and rambling a bit because their thinking is chaotic.

Dude this take nails it. All the trumpers I see believing sidney cite how confident she is and no way she would talk like that if she wasnt certain because she knows she would get in trouble or something lol

yea i posted upthread the ālibertarianā guy that i chat with and he was certain that she wouldnāt go out on that limb without hard proof because she had a reputation to protect lol
Time to make a bet about what kind of reputation she deserves when itās all over.
I was going to say that thereās a nonzero chance she ends up committed when this is all over, but that doesnāt do it justice. Itās probably like 75/25. She seems legit schizophrenic.

Wasnāt this the same thing with Barr? He wouldnāt lie about Mueller findings because he had a reputation?
