Steve Bannon, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Lindell and Mike Flynn pushed pro-Trump conspiracy theories at an event advertised as a celebration of an anti-China movement.
Added to correct some misunderstandings: This thread isn't about Donald Trump the person. It's about the Trump Effect, or Trumpism, which continues to damage our country.
It's not about China. It's about people who, even by omission-- lend an aura of credibility to people who push conspiracy theories, whether they are "pro-Trump" or not.
Lindell, Flynn and Bannon. Mix them up and there's no end to the horror.
I continue to be amazed at the lack of attention these people attract. They are not just "Trump allies". This is a network of unstable and dangerous people.
Biden has now turned orange. Can I now say orange man bad?
I guess so, but the phrase "orange man bad" is common amongst the really virulent strain of pro-Trump aging 4chan types. Note: I am NOT saying you are a member of said group!
I agree with the author that lightening up a heavy conversation with a joke can be a good thing, and Tucker comes up with some real winners-- like his outrage over a bakery somewhere in Europe renaming the gingerbread men, gingerbread people! They're taking this trans thing way too far!

Tucker never fails to focus on the absurd. Maybe his show is really a comedy show...we know it's not accurate or reliable enough to be considered news or journalism.
I'mnot going to defend Biden's communication style, except to say that if there is a script, Biden helped write it, with input from experts he actually listens to,and attention to how it will be interpreted by leaders from any group with a stake in the outcome.
And your opinion is based on what?
Don't you think.he should take questions?
Today, he finally did. Pre-approved questions. And, one time he made a comment indicating the question was asked incorrectly.
So just a word of advice for the republicans in the forum. You guys need to do what trump has done and get rid of your IPhones before Apple snoops your phone and find those pics that trump didn't want them to find ?????????
It isn't about Trump. I've explained that both in my first post and my response to Daisy4.
To answer your question, though. Daisy4 responded to my amazement that the criminals in the article are embraced by Trump, and normalized by many in the media by stating that because of Afghanistan, Biden has caused or ignored the following:
skyrocketing inflation
poor response to covid
killed jobs
increase in crime/shootings and esp in large cities
massive government spending
southern border/illegal immigration crisis
To say he caused the above problems is obviously ridiculous, but to say he is ignoring them could only be true if a President could only handle one problem at a time. There are hundreds of people in every administration working on all of those problems.
Beerman then picked up on that theme by agreeing with Daisy4, and adding that he was amazed reading a different thread about Trump's narcissism, thinking I guess that all the threads should be about Afghanistan.
My reply to Beerman simply reiterated the idea that stating that both working on policy issues and discussions on allnurses can address multiple themes or issues simultaneously.
Please, by all means, what has been accomplished to address any of those issues?

Wait a minute, I say hold it right there boyy!
Tucker is not Trans?
He is most certainly transphobic which leads me to say, He doth protest too much!
I hope the trans community excommunicates him for all the hateful things he says about the LGBTQ community!
It seems that a lot of republicans say a lot hateful things about the LGBTQ community frequently and they are quite frequently misogynistic and like to hang out with their male friends a lot, hmmmm?
What are they fighting against and whyyy?
And just wondering about that Rosebushes chap from NC who was completely misunderstood about visiting the Capitol building to say hello to Devin Nunes a fellow rosebush expert, because he planned a visit to see Melania another rosebush expert and those horrible Dems are now saying he planned to kill the president.
Those Dems all need hearing aids, I mean he was only a tourist just like those other tourists on the 6th ?????

What a disaster.
Given your frame of reference, I guess I can understand that your mind is a complete blank when it comes to how a president normally does his job, and my "opinion" is based on the fact that listening to the experts that you yourself hired, and getting input from them on communication strategy, then making a decision is listed under POTUS: Job Description
Your guy didn't do his job or bother to educate himself on how the job is supposed to be done. He picked at his hangnails during briefings, hired experts because they kissed his *** on TV, then fired them on Twitter for refusing to co-sign is idiotic decisions.
Trump, of all presidents from 1 to 44, is uniquely ignorant of the difference between his own interests and those of the entire population he pledged to serve. If that concept had sunk in he might not have been impeached following the Ukraine fiasco

I understand your frame of reference leads you to believe "accomplishing something" means standing in front of a camera bragging about solving all of those issues "very easily" because you alone can do it.
Another example of Trump-inspired skewed perception, I guess.

Did he call the questioner nasty? Or maybe he said the question itself was nasty?
I understand. Biden doesn't spend much time in front of cameras or microphones. It's quite a contrast to the last guy who kept himself in front of cameras (or televisions) as much as possible. It's nice to have a president that depends upon communication professionals to provide in depth press briefings and opportunity for journalists (and Peter Doucy) to ask questions.

Trump is a LOSER. He lost the 2020 election. However, the real problem are his crazy psycho followers that think he is still president and think that white supremacist leader was good for our country to include those in political power. So, we will not stop fighting them or those who continue to support him.
Trump was a huge improvement over the previous black supremacist president whose hateful rhetoric has led to the murder of police officers and billions in property damage. The man also had the notorious racist black supremacist Van Jones in his White House cabinet!
You will never know if Trump truly lost because investigations are halted by fascists. 81 million votes for the most popular president ever! The one who had a dozen people at his rallies and is currently in hiding.
Trump saved millions of lives and your obsession with him is evident sexism against strong males. Just let it go and give him respect where it’s due.

That is too much baloney for one bite.
You don't expect us to take you seriously, do you?

This is what white panic looks like, TMB. The recent census results have the right-wingnuts’ heads exploding. Caucasian people are now a minority in seven states. My guess is that some people are having nightmares thinking about undergoing the same treatment that the white majority has dished out since the European invasion.
Then, too, wingnut argumentation is notoriously dependant upon projecting their own behavior onto their “enemies” as way of avoiding responsibility for said behavior. You know … the “I know you are but what am I?” school(yard) line of thinking, a la Ben Shapiro and Ann Coulter (I still wonder what that woman does for a living).

I am not even Caucasian. I am Afro-Cuban. My parents fled a communist nation.
Yes “white supremacy” is the biggest threat a couple hundred fat rednecks. Tell me when they do 2 billion in damage in a single year.
You can just admit that you hate white people. Don’t tip toe around the matter.
