For the love of Pete


Go ahead, click it.  He's fucking nuts.

Yesterday: "What happens when the wind stops blowing?"  Today: "We'll have an economy based on wind."  And MAGA will have no trouble at all switching directions to stick with him.  He doesn't need to make sense for them.  They don't understand wind, either.  And if they did, they wouldn't care.

Also...


Unfuckingbelievable.  Must be a Russian bot.  Or just a MAGA "sniper".


The account, which also runs a news website, has been successfully fooling users for years, conjuring up stories designed to confirm the biases of conspiracy theorists.

It has long dreamt up a war between FEMA and the U.S Marines in the wake of natural disasters, claiming troops ambushed FEMA convoys in the wake of deadly tornadoes in Oklahoma in and hurricanes in Florida and Texas.

[...]

“Those FEMA jerks did so much bad on Maui and now they’re doing it again!” one X subscriber wrote.

Bu while it’s usually conspiracy theorists who help the account’s false claims go viral, detractors are the one giving RealRawNews all the attention this week by mocking its ludicrous story.

“A coworker’s cousin in NC has a daughter that’s a Girl Scout and her troop already has 16 confirmed kills,” one user replied.

[...]

“I have neutralized an entire platoon of marine scout snipers because they were to busy doing woke and DEI to stop me,” [another] user said.

“Some backwoods freak is going to believe you and shoot a FEMA rep pulling into their driveway to deliver bottled waters,” another responded. “Fuck you and anyone else that believes this.”

[...]

Although RealRawNews is undoubtedly responsible for helping to spread harmful conspiracy theories about Helene, the account pales in comparison to Republican lawmakers.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) just last week insinuated that the hurricane was made by the government in order to harm conservative voters ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

I wouldn't say "pales in comparison." They seem about equal to me.


Love it.
