I never gave out any of that shit. Gold didn't mean anything. It's just artificial scarcity.
Why would you add scarcity online where it doesn't exist? Only to make money. People will look back on all the stupid shit we put up with online just to make everything "free".

people can simply make a donation already, if they like. all of the extra work and resources required to run a coin and rewards system, track earning/spending and accounts, plus a secure payment system, etc… that would all cost a lot of time and resources. and that would require even more donations to pay for and maintain.
you’re right: it’s not useless, it’s worse than useless.
if you want to donate, just do that. if you want unconditional love, adopt a puppy.

Hahaha... The funny thing is he's right. The election was rigged, but the dumbass doesn't realize that it was rigged in his favor and he still lost.
(And by rigged, I mean we're still using the electoral college that over-weights typically GOP states).

Not that I believe it, but my favorite counter conspiracy is that the GOP tried to actually cheat the results in their favor and still somehow lost. They can't believe it and that's why they insist the Dems must have cheated. Remember, every accusation is a confession.

It's going to say trump has always known this, but that he didn't want to see civil war and he knew his supporters would "stand up for what's right" if they knew.
They'll be no actual proof of anything.
Just the vague accusations that Biden stole the election like he's been saying since the election
But at least some of his supporters are dumb enough they'll do 1/6 part two to stop trump from being "silenced" by "a total nothingburger".
Probably at least one reference to Nelson Mandela depending on who writes it.
It won't be to convince anyone that's not already a diehard trumpet. Just trying to instigate them to violence. trump would 100% start a civil war if he thought he's actually going to be held accountable
brambledog 11 points 3 years ago
I don't think so.
Essentially everybody who was going to murder for Trump has already done so or attempted to do so.
The entire paramilitary wing of Trumpism is behind bars because of January 6th. Everybody left knows they are being watched.
Even the most deluded know they are only years away from their retirement. They are going to go.back to football and essential oils, and like Bush, they will pretend they were against Trump the entire time.
I foresee right wing terror returning to essentially lone wolf attacks on children or chitches.

Nah, it's not like they all dropped everything to go to 1/6, some missed it just because they couldn't pay.
Three years is a long time to radicalize even more people too.
Stop underestimating fascists, it rarely ends well
brambledog 3 points 3 years ago
I'm not underestimating fascists. That's preposterous to allege. 😃
I am saying that the organizational heirarchy that led to Jan. 6 is gone in prison or acting as informants. Steve Bannon isn't sending $20k in bitcoin to Jim or Ron Watkins anymore, everybody else's funding is dried up. The situation has changed.

They said, immediately before underestimating fascists...
Money helps, but these idiots really think they'll overthrow the deep state so 5k in credit card debt doesn't matter to them.
That's more than enough for them to take a week off work and drive to wherever trump tells them to show up. Likely with guns or explosives.
Even if 99% won't do it, that 1% of the dumbest trump supporter is still a lot of people.
You're underestimating their stupidity, desire for violence, and complete detachment from reality.
And that doesn't work out well historically

Honestly I think a lot of it is just going to get glossed over specifically because it's so messy. Sure there will be loads of nonfiction books about this BS - but I doubt that kids in school will learn about Q-Anon and shit lol

Qanon got it into their tiny little heads that JFK Jr was alive, or risen from the dead, and would lead them to their promised white Christian ethnostate or something.
I maintain, as my personal unfounded theory, some rot-brain heard RFK Jr was on their team and assumed it was a typo, then decided to start writing a fan fic.

"Trump is gonna own you libs this time, just you wait! Our 4D chess GOD has sat on this report for 3 years. He could have released it right after the election, but you fools just don't see the whole board like he does! This is the perfect time for it so he can watch you dummies seethe in rage and take back the country! I'm so happy to be one of the God Emperor's Chosen!

Why wouldn't he have just stayed in power then? Shown how great he was as a ruler/leader and then chosen his successor in 2024?
mrbubblesort 14 points 3 years ago
I've actually asked him that once. The election was obviously stolen from him, but in the end Trump CHOSE to leave to go stop the pizzagate guys (or some other shit, I stopped listening around then)
Just remember kids: QAnon believers can vote!

I appreciate the skepticism, but remember, until very recently this was their congressman. These people chose a literal, actual, real white nationalist to represent them, so imagine how they act in private

I read stuff like this in comment sections and figures it's just someone trolling for a reaction, but there are so many people who are actually like this. It's so depressing to think that there are honestly people who think Trump is some great genius. If he goes to jail, they'll still be saying "Just you watch! Any day now he's going to spring the trap."

Hmm... seems a bit late to bring this report forward.... makes me wonder if it was stored in the same place as the GOP replacement plan for Obamacare and their policy platform, which has been missing for the last 7 years.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis indicted Donald Trump on Monday for working to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, just weeks after Special Counsel Jack Smith indicted him on federal charges for his efforts to subvert the democratic process nationwide.
It all seems pretty damning, but the wily former president has an ace up his sleeve: He’s going to simply prove the election was rigged and convince Willis and Smith to drop the charges.
“A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia is almost complete & will be presented by me at a major News Conference at 11:00 A.M. on Monday of next week in Bedminster, New Jersey,” Trump announced Tuesday morning on Truth Social.
The post came hours after Trump railed late at night against “an out of control and very corrupt” Willis.
Willis didn’t indict Trump two-and-a-half years ago because an investigation this sprawling takes a long time to actually complete.
It must take just as long to complete such a “Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT,” one that must be chock-full of new information all of the other investigative bodies who worked to uncover proof of fraud were unable to obtain.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!

He really does have a habit of exposing them doesn't he? That's always a fun bonus when it happens, kinda like the Madison Cawthorn "Republican cocaine orgies", it's always fun to watch them hurt themselves in their confusion.

Still not serious about all this, huh. I have a hard time telling if he's legitimately losing it or just playing around hoping to run out the clock. Probably a combination of both, but this just seems like the worst way to handle this situation. And yet, he keeps getting away with it.
bitsplease 8 points 3 years ago
It's basically what he's always done, just keep promising salvation just around the corner.
It feels like a lot of people have already forgotten that after the 2020 election, he was going on about "Releasing the Kraken" every few days, as though he had a total gamestopper piece of evidence that he was just sitting on - nothing ever appeared. Before that he let on that he was going to "Drain the swamp" aaaaaany day now, just you wait - except nothing ever happened.
Trump is all about smoke and mirrors and empty promises. And it works for him because once he says it, his followers just believe it, even if he never talks about it again. Tons of Trump supporters still to this day believe that he had unshakable evidence of fraud in the 2020 election, just like tons believe that political corruption dissapeared under Trump, only to re-appear the second Biden took office.
And now all his supporters will believe that Trump is going to prove the election was a fraud, defeat all his indictments, and become president again. And when none of that (or certainly at least not the first two) happens, they'll just claim the game was rigged and the deep state is responsible. It's easy to always win when your supporters aren't willing to consider the possibility that you lost
520 5 points 3 years ago
Running out the clock in his case means running out his own clock. trying to quash the trials after (if) he goes back into office is an extremely risky affair and may not even work against the state prosecutions.
Entropywins 4 points 3 years ago
He is doing this to try and discredit that he knew the election was fairly lost... its not going to work but I imagine that is his lawyers gameplan...
blanketswithsmallpox 2 points 3 years ago
Yeah, by himself. Due to being indicted everywhere.
If he rigged it and still lost, that means he gets a do-over since it wasn't legal right!?
