I think, were all facts known, this is closer to the truth than is the notion of collusion.

President Trump on Wednesday offered encouragement to proponents of QAnon, a viral conspiracy theory that has gained a widespread following among people who believe the president is secretly battling a criminal band of sex traffickers, and suggested that its proponents were patriots upset with unrest in Democratic cities.
“I’ve heard these are people that love our country,” Mr. Trump said during a White House news conference ostensibly about the coronavirus. “So I don’t know really anything about it other than they do supposedly like me.”
When told by a reporter about the central premise of the QAnon theory — a belief that Mr. Trump is saving the world from a satanic cult made up of pedophiles and cannibals connected to Democratic Party figures, so-called deep-state actors and Hollywood celebrities — Mr. Trump did not question the validity of the movement or the truth of those claims.
Instead, he offered his help.
“Is that supposed to be a bad thing or a good thing?” the president said lightly, responding to a reporter who asked if he could support that theory. “If I can help save the world from problems, I am willing to do it. I’m willing to put myself out there.”
Will this be appealed, or is this after the remand and likely not to be taken up?jfish26 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 9:16 am Going to be a no good, very bad day at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.:

This can't happen. This is unacceptable. Democrats need to put their damn purity tests aside, moderate Republicans need to put their bullshit both-sides-do-it aside, and they need to get this guy out of office.jfish26 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 9:15 am Have we talked about this?

I agree - it is missing the mark to dismiss these folks as harmless kooks. It's bad enough already that, in all likelihood, there will be at least one of these in the House next year, with all of the access and platform that comes with it.Mjl wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 10:40 amThis can't happen.

He isn't a conspiracy theorist; he just likes that conspiracy theorists are easily duped and eager to pass fake information to other voters.Mjl wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 10:40 amThis can't happen.

Anyone engaging in the "well I don't like either candidate" cop out crap is complicit in having a conspiracy theorist leading our country.
