Fleecing the True Believers

[Toro]

That’s what all this conspiracy nonsense - including Trump’s Big Lie - is about. Power and money.

A federal judge last month ordered Wood and Powell to pay roughly $175,000 in legal fees for their “historic and profound abuse of the judicial process” in suing to overturn the 2020 presidential election. And Powell and others face potentially billions of dollars in damages as a result of defamation lawsuits filed by Dominion Voting Systems, which they falsely accused of helping to rig the 2020 race.​

​

To help cover their legal bills, the factions have set up online merchandise shops targeting their most loyal followers. Fans of Powell’s bogus conspiracy theory can, for instance, buy a four-pack set of “Release the Kraken: Defending the Republic” drink tumblers from her website for $80. On Flynn’s newly launched website, fans can buy “General Flynn: #FightLikeAFlynn” women’s racerback tank tops for $30. And Wood’s online store sells $64.99 “#FightBack” unisex hoodies; the fleece, a listing says, feels like “wearing a soft, fluffy cloud.”​

​

Their arguments increasingly resemble the performative clashes of pro wrestling, said Mike Rothschild, a conspiracy theory researcher and author of a book on QAnon: full of flashy, marketable story lines of heroes conquering their enemies. The drama, he said, gives the influencers a way to keep their audiences angry and engaged while also offering them a chance to prove their loyalty by buying stuff.​

QAnon is “the easiest money that you could possibly make if you don’t have a conscience, but there’s only a certain number of people you can fleece. It’s not a renewable resource,” said Rothschild (who has no relation to the famous banking family targeted in antisemitic conspiracy theories).​

Professional rasslin’ is a great analogy as Trump was a WWE performer.

Ka-ching!

Torba has also shared clips of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones saying he would “declare war” on Trump over his support for vaccines. Jones — facing his own financial pressures after a judge ruled in November that he must pay damages to families of children killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, which he falsely called a hoax — has recently started hawking a membership-only video series for “navigating the apocalypse” for $222.75. …​

​

But two days later, on Telegram, [Roger Stone] claimed that former Trump adviser Stephen K. Bannon — an old foe he accused of lying about him during the 2019 trial — “gave the order to breach” the Capitol “to curry favor” with an uninterested Trump. (In his next post, Stone advertised his online fundraising auction, in which he’s offering autographed rocks for $50.)​

​

Stone selling autographed rocks is by far the most hilarious grift.

An entire political party is being scammed.

You can buy a nice embroidered Hillary hat for only $25.99. For a good cause I'm sure.

I swear, it's like they've grown tired of waiting for Jesus to show up, so they're tithing to Trump and his Apostles.

Incredible.

I said back when all that was going on that it was just a bunch of blood sucking lawyers fleecing the rubes.

Oh I still believe the dems played fuck-fuck games with the 2020 election and it was there on display in GA for all to see but at the time I placed the blame on spineless gop hack politicians that allowed the dems their head in red states on things like unfettered mail-in voting, drop boxes, allowing counts to be stopped/poll watchers ejected, and the like.

The good thing is that "The Big Lie" as the dems and their media lackeys snark-ingly call it will be more of a case of "Laugh Now - Cry Later" when the right-leaning get done with them next year.....The dems had a preview of that here in Virginia in November but they are still doubling down on stupid.

Available from the White House gift shop...
Kamala tea bags, because we all know she likes tea bagging.

Afterwards enjoy a Kamala breath mint to get the stale taste of Bidens cock out of your mouth...

Be a true believer and shop all of Kamalas products.
Even the Kamala bobblehead with realistic up and down head motions...

January 6th commemoration events were a bust. On to QAnon!! Surely that will give you all another waft under your wings for what? Maybe a week or two?

Meanwhile, just keep limping along with Biden and Kamala

Trump is not lying. We have visual proof of how dedicated crusty-butted Bolshevik wannabes act at the polls when they think nobody's looking. Some of us saw the leftists in full-blown brag mode online back in the 90s, about how they pulled a fast one registering 30 or 40 votes apiece under assumed names in their precincts in their states, and they didn't know a Bush family pal was monitoring them from afar and knows what they are willing to do from coast to coast, because lefties from every state in the union were putting in their me-toos one night when Time Magazine sponsored these wags, but after the election in the late 90s closed shop at least to conservatives by claiming their public forums were closed, almost overnight. They're not one less bit dishonest just because they took their hate for conservatives out of the light of public scrutiny, but it's clear from the pandemic lies the press pushes in favor of buck-nekkid Marxism, those of us who've been around awhile know what they are capable of, and that is perpetrating the big lie that somebody conservative is a big lie pusher. Hardly!!!!!!! And I witnessed all of their shit. And I never forgot their hatred for the Bush family who produced one of the bravest, smartest defenders of the Pacific in WWII, George HW Bush. For a Senator's kid, he put his wealth behind him and put his life on the line for us, surviving a plane mishap and swimming a marathon to find and make friends on the shores of islands taken over by the enemy. You oughta read his bio sometime. He was a man of courage and he produced several sons of courage too, whom the pissy press screwed with on a minute by minute basis in order to support the Marxists the Democrats have come in my lifetime.

Translation:

We're gonna get our asses handed to us in the Midterms and beyond and we are also losing the culture and the only way for us to deal with this is to cry about "democracy"

See post seven.
Have you got your Kamala breath mints yet?
How about a Biden bobblehead.
He realistically nods yes to everything Nancy and Xi tell him...

Or how about a T shirt?

Just don't let the kiddies wear it.
