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.

Updated:   Published

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.  

‘This is warfare:’ Trump allies Flynn, Bannon pushed conspiracies at ritzy party backed by Chinese exile

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.

You can just admit that you hate white people.  Don’t tip toe around the matter.

 

But your script is as white as the driven snow. This “reverse racism” schtick is decades old. Get a new one.

Reverse racism isn’t real.  Racism is racism plain and simple.  All groups of people have been equally responsible for it throughout history.  

Your schtck of everyone who disagrees with you is a “racist white supremacist” is tiring and extremely offensive.  Newsflash the year is 2021 and it’s now BLM. marching the streets not the KKK.  

Black supremacists like Van Jones have infiltrated the White House and publicly gone on racial tirades live on television.  CRT is being pushed in school and indoctrinating children that “whiteness” is inherently racist.  You have people lecturing at universities how they fantasize about shooting white people.

I don’t know why you went into nursing if you think an entire race of people are so bad.  Listen all lives matter and all lives are equal under the eyes of god.  Race isn’t real, it’s just melanin and small physical differences.  You need to take a step back and look at what you have become.

I'm embarrassed by what my fellow white men do, I can tell you for a fact! I'm even more embarrassed for people like you, because I went to a clan rally in NC and they let me in because of how I look and bud, the things these Neanderthals say about black, Jewish and Hispanic people would make your toes curl. The only redeeming factor was just what morons they were, that you could forgive them. Six year olds have more interlectual conversations and interests than these dolts! 

I suggest you should go to a clan rally like I did, but I would be very, very careful if I were you. Not likely you would be allowed in anyway, it's for white people only. They are superficial enough to judge people on their looks! You are also two parts of the trifector anyway, if you were also Jewish  they would probably string you up, And don't mention that you are Cuban, not likely that they will know where it is anyway, but they might know about the communism thing and beat you silly! 

I was embarrassed to just be an American, forget about the clan thing. Grown men even clansmen should have developed interlectually, at least more than teenagers! You could actually feel your brain cells die, literally. It is probably the same thing that happens when the 7th century Taliban get together! 

And the hygiene, don't even mention it! I never knew that mentally disabled people had a physiological condition re body odour! Back then you had to shake hands as well, OMG, I was freaking OUTTT!! It's a good thing size matters or they might have been less intimidated and figured me out quickly! And what the hell is up with their vocabulary? It's almost like a rule that any word more than three syllables is unknown, unless it's the name of a gun manufacturer or redneck related stuff! 

And dude, you ever thought about therapy? You side with the people who think you are a piece of ***, who would be physically sick if you even looked at their daughters and I know what I'm talking about! My brother in law is Asian Indian but he's very light skinned and easily passes for a white man unless he speaks, so I get to hang out with his Indian and Asian friends and some of them have very right wing views and are very churlish when you ask them about what they think republicans like Hawley or Steve King actually thinks about them. Some of them are brown skinned and ignore what happened to their people post 9-11 or even recently. Their reasons are at least financial or racist, they side with Modi's politics in India or China's insularity. It's very much like multiple personalities! On one hand they know that right wingers have disdain for them and on the other they can channel their own brand of racism and hypocrisy to others! Sometimes in the same conversation they complain about their white work colleagues getting ahead of them and then side with anti immigration and they are immigrants! 

Schizophrenic, anyone?

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.

So wrong,  you are.  There actually isn't a job description for POTUS.  There are very few qualificatons for the job, and the Constitution lays out the duties the President is responsible for.

For the most part, there is no specific manner in which the job needs to be done. We all have our opinions, of course.  And we get our say at the ballot box.

I see your frame of reference is "how the job is usually done".  Well, usually we don't elect a sentior citizen suffering from dementia.  Who, btw, is much more involved in a "Ukraine fiasco" then Trump ever was . LOL

This, too, is boilerplate troll speak. Yawn

Yeah.  I know there isn't an actual job description for POTUS. ? Pretty sure that acronym hasn't even been known outside the Secret Service for very long, anyway.

A job description lists the duties and expectations (including leadership characteristics) in the present day, and I'm certain it wouldn't say if you're over 35 years old, a natural-born citizen, and living in the USA for at least 14 years you're qualified to be president.

George Washington was brilliant, Beerman, but if you dropped him in the Situation Room today he's gonna have problems.  Although luckily he, like Biden doesn't have delusions of infallibility and would ask for help.

Assuming for the sake of discussion that Mr. Trump is in fact a narcissist, what does that have to do with the *** show going on in Afghanistan now?  Especially when you consider that Mr. Biden, and his administration, have now been in office for 7 months. 

He gave the Taliban a lotta love, as he did c the nutball in North Korea, offered to bring them to Camp David for talks (but not the Afghan government), made a treaty c them that he would withdraw troops by May (which is why the US can’t go after them now) but had no plans on how to do it, told the Taliban they could have everything they could grab, and refused to give the Biden transition team one iota of his machinations.

We’ve  been embroiled in Afghanistan since Ronald Reagan, and you think this exit was too fast?

History will be much kinder to this administration than TFG’s. Not that he’ll notice, between his felony convictions and dementia. Orange is the new black, indeed.
