This is hilarious, the gift that keeps on giving!The grift doesn't stop:
Trump debuts new product line: Watches selling for up to $100,000
Former President Donald Trump announced the new watch line on Truth Social, describing the timepieces as "truly special."www.cbsnews.com
And I thought Biden had destroyed the economy and nobody could afford to live anymore?
Trump expects Ukraine to concede to the invasion of its country by Russia and is essentially victim blaming them for not doing so.
It says more about Tucker Carson (a supposedly serious MSM right wing anchor) entertaining conspiracy theorists, racist, and clearly spiritually and mentally conflicted people like Rosanne Barr.

A good Guardian article...and it's 4 years oldIt says more about Tucker Carson (a supposedly serious MSM right wing anchor) entertaining conspiracy theorists, racist, and clearly spiritually and mentally conflicted people like Rosanne Barr.
It also suits the far right MAGA Trumpists (especially the Christian and Jewish fundamentalists) to promote the idea of child and animal abuse sweeping through America in the form of ”Satanic Cults” - to demonise those that do not support Trump and revive the Satanic Panic that gripped America in the ‘80s with stories of Hilary’s Pizza Paedo ring, eating dogs and cats in Springfield, cannibalism of children etc
It’s all part of the QAnon conspiracy theory and it’s prolific:
“The QAnon conspiracy theory is vast, complicated and ever changing, and its adherents are constantly folding new events and personalities into its master narrative. But the gist of it is that national Democrats, aided by Hollywood and a group of “global elites”, are running a massive ring devoted to the abduction, trafficking, torture, sexual abuse and cannibalization of children, all with the purpose of fulfilling the rituals of their Satanic faith.”
Don’t dismiss Rosanne Barr as an isolated fringe nutter. She is very much an overt part of the widespread narrative being stealthily promoted by Trump supporters against those who are “destroying America” and “killing our children”.
The counterpart to the QAnon theory is that Trump is the only one that can save America from the Democrats.

Rather than confront the reality of child abuse, Trump fans have dreamed up an elaborate fiction to justify their support for a morally indefensible president

You misunderstood my post (...completely!) ... I'll take the blame for not being 100% clear...It doesn’t matter how old the article is, it’s completely relevant as background to the points I am making about Rosanne Barr being a part of the QAanon conspiracy theory.. QAanon may have started over 4 years ago (2017 in fact) but it is still going strong and has been a key element of Trump’s online campaign strategy
If you prefer, this is more recent
As Trump campaigns, he's spreading QAnon posts anew. Some call that 'playing with fire'
As Donald Trump campaigns against President Joe Biden, his online posts are reinvigorating a conspiracy theory that was a hallmark of his first term.
(Not sure why my post got an angry reaction tbh)
Sorry - I did think in retrospect that it would have been an unusual response for you

It's scary to me that a democratic country has such undercurrents.Sorry - I did think in retrospect that it would have been an unusual response for you
And yes, it seems a poorly understood phenomenon and really slipping under the radar of most MSM political commentators (certainly in the UK and to an extent in the left wing media in the States).
I guess, the thing isn’t to be too shocked when screwed up deluded individuals like Rosanne Barr start spouting this stuff on the biggest right wing News Station in America.
I would say Rosanne is the tip of a very large iceberg, maybe as much as 25% believe in some aspect of QAnon theories:
QAnon is spreading outside the US – a conspiracy theory expert explains what that could mean
The mysterious QAnon network is becoming an international movement, and an estimated 22% of Americans back one of its core beliefs.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, Rep. House Representative for Georgia is known for her QAnon-like beleifs - she was the one that forced a vote to get rid of the House Speaker for supporting an aid budget for Ukraine - she’s a real piece of work
QAnon Is the Latest American Conspiracy Theory
The rise of the right-wing paranoid fantasy, egged on by Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene, reflects deep currents in American politics.
Yep
reactions disliking my post and sad faces though - perhaps people disagree with my assessment (or misunderstood it?).
She's suffering from mental illness. Her ex-husband, Tom Arnold, has said she's struggled with it for a long time. Clearly it's gotten much worse over time.
I think you're misinterpreting the angry reactions. They weren't disliking your post they were sharing your anger towards the subject matter of your post, hence the angry emoji.Yep
Not sure why my analysis of that attracted a lot of angry
I should have made it clearer that I wasn’t agreeing with Rosanne Barr or the QAnons!
