All Things Trump: The Return Of The King

[Brian Peacock]

There is no-one in US politics who is far left. In Oz, Bernie Sanders would be a centrist Labour Party politician...

Aye. Social Democrats are not "lefties" in the scare-quotes sense.

um...because facts don't relate to who exposes them. Their motives sure play in, but what his daughter (and wife lol) do for work is real enough.

It's why James O'Keefe keeps breaking incredible stories, and many people just have to attack HIM, while seemingly denying facts he exposes. To be fair, the guy is a showman, with a flavour many don't like. But he isn't all raves and lucky charms advocacy.

It’s the implication that’s problematic.

It’s possible to understand the judge’s decisions as being the result of something other than corruption, bias etc. Instead, we’re encouraged to believe they only make sense if there’s something else going on.

That’s manipulation.

That's fucking tin hat shite....wonder how many difference sartorial choices cunt has.

He's a full on conspiracy nut. Pretty much everything he posts has a conspiratorial element to it.

That’s MAGA. The crazy thing is just how many conspiracies they believe. It’s like their preferred way of looking at anything that happens. You know how a person might see god in everything, they see a conspiracy.

It's a hobby. From my blog.

Conspiracy theories are filling up social media. Alex Jones is happy. He lives for conspiracies.

I was mainly interested in how the use of them is tightly joined to the right at this time. Jewish space lasers? Green had specific ideas with that. Wikipedia even dug up a Jewish business connection. See under Marjorie Taylor Greene.

It did not have the right impact without the "Jewish" part. The purpose is to at first grab attention and spread like wildfire. But there are parts that the person inventing the conspiracy wants to hang on to. She gets her people to share their ideas and make fun of elites. "Owning the libs."

Trump himself seems to grab onto a new one every time he can. If you can attach a country or ethnic group to it, even better. Trump has no use for facts. He needs these things like he needs rallies. Material for his stand up routine. He does not need to explain it well, like Hannibal Lecter. It is just there for a joke. He needs the crowds and social media for the stuff. He is going to be so depressed when he is nothing in a few years and TV has gone past him and his weird hobbies.

To sum up: My take is that there are only two goals: 1 distract and throw doubt on something, get political support of the regular folks in doubting the elites 2 togetherness, sharing.

With Trump there is a big factor that is maybe in all the wacko end of MAGA polticians: secret message to the faithful followers suggesting something rather disgusting about a group (Jews, foreigners, libs) without actually using the word. "They are eating our cats and dogs." It was too good not to use.

Something common among all MAGA voters is the reaction to everything the government (CDC, FDA) tells us: "who are they to tell me what to do?" It is this thought that preceded the details of most popular conspiracy theories. A few were also about individuals (Hillary).

There is a more serious part to conspiracies outside of politics. These people are just there to make a few dollars, so they cast doubt on Covid medications and vaccines and use their web site to peddle a few health supplements. The same junk you can get in a variety of forms at your local health supplement store. Dr Mercola was a pioneer way back from the Nutrasweet days.

The right wing propaganda bubble insists that Boasberg was appointed to the bench by Obama. That's a lie. He was appointed by Bush II. Obama advanced him to a higher court. Chief Justice Roberts (a Republican) appointed him to the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. Under Trump he was appointed to the United States Alien Terrorist Removal Court. Clearly he's served in positions that make him more than fully qualified to render authoritative decisions on this sort of case, but OBAMA!!!1!1! Fecking idjits.

[pErvinalia]

I heard Obama was a muslim.

[L'Emmerdeur]

Yeah, and you know his middle name is Hussein!!!

[Brian Peacock]

They used Jewish space lasers during the bowling green massacre. Just sayin'

[Joe]

Don't for get Russia, Russia, Russia and Stop the Steal.

However, I'm pretty sure Q shot JR.

It could be something other than corruption, but I doubt it.

How many judges, at his equivalent level, should be permitted to veto the actions of the Executive Branch, such as he has done?

And WHO was he taking action for? The person he was protecting? Do we know anything about the individuals concerned?

And yes, they call everything they don't want to deal with 'conspiracy'. Like the Epstein one. Or Maxwell. Or Smollett. Or Anthony Weiner/Breitbart. Or James O'Keefe.

It's the signifier that the rubes want to reject something, but don't know the details.

Case: J.G.G. v. Trump
1:25-cv-00766 | U.S. District Court for the District of District of Columbia
Filed Date: March 15, 2025

Case Ongoing

This case challenged the Trump Administration’s authority to invoke the Alien Enemies Act to circumvent removal procedures and order the immediate removal of Venezuelan nationals from the United States. On March 15, 2025, five detained Venezuelan nationals filed this class action lawsuit in the District Court for the District of Columbia against President Donald J. Trump, the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”), and the Department of State. Represented by the ACLU and Democracy Forward, the plaintiffs challenged the Administration’s invocation of the AEA to remove them from the United States without any opportunity for a hearing or judicial review. The AEA is a wartime measure that authorizes the removal of citizens from countries with whom the United States is at war. On March 15, 2025, President Trump issued a proclamation declaring that the United States was “under invasion” by Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang and designated foreign terrorist organization, and invoking the AEA. The plaintiffs filed their complaint the same day, arguing that the defendants had exceeded their authority under the AEA and violated the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”), the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998 (“FARRA”), the Administrative Procedure Act, the Fifth Amendment right to due process, and Habeas Corpus. The plaintiffs sought a temporary and permanent injunction, declaratory relief, writs of habeas corpus, and attorney’s fees. The case was assigned to Chief Judge James Boasberg.

Where's the conspiracy? The AEA is definitely not routine, and obviously open to challenges especially as it was used here. If we can't agree on that, we probably can't discuss anything.
