So ... are they saying they are just going to let the international cabal of satanic paedophile cannibals get away with it now?
Maybe he's joined them.

Maybe Biden was just Trump in a rubber mask this whole time.

Whatever. Verisimilitude is soooo passé.
We have the right to a clean, healthy, sustainable environment.

One day I might miss that ... but not today.

Excited to see what Watkins' new project is. Maybe another ARG, but this time he tells people they're playing one?

Shirley if you genuinely believed in QAnon you wouldn’t let a mere presidential defeat get in your way, you’d continue to strain every sinew to expose it and bring it down.

Do you remember that action film where near the end of the second act things are getting tough and looking a bit bleak for the hero so he just f.cking quits and learns to crochet or something? No, neither does anyone else.

They aren’t just just horrible gullible c.nts, they are f.cking half-arsed with it too. :evil:

Ah yes, IIRC its Ironman 2 where Tony Stark backs down after Killian presents him with a cease & desist letter.

It’s nearly as good as that Knight Rider episode where Michael Knight lets the terrorists escape with the truck-full of plutonium because he didn’t want to break the speed limit.

Apparently there's going to be a thing called a "Press Briefing" this evening. And the White House apparently already has a room for it‽
Well that was weird.

This person came out and spoke for a bit and then some journalists or something asked her questions and she answered them calmly and politely, then they scribbled something down then she said goodbye and she left*.

Where was the deranged ranting and stupid falsehoods delivered up by some dead-eyed reality TV reject that we are used to?

Call this entertainment?





*I assume as I didn’t actually watch it. I’m looking forward to returning to a blissful state of going weeks without even remembering Joe Biden exists.

Mike Adams didn't seem to enjoy it:
A seditious pill peddler wrote:Today we begin by reminding you that a fake, staged inauguration stemming from an illegal, unconstitutional election carries no legal standing. Biden was only "sworn in" as an act of theater. It isn't binding to any true Americans.

In today's Situation Update, we discuss the possibilities for the transition of power to temporary military authority, which may yet be under way. I also cover the coming authoritarian left-wing nightmare that will haunt this nation if Biden successfully seizes power and isn't removed by law.

There is still cause for real hope, but I also warn that we should all prepare for the worst case scenario, because that's exactly what democrats now have in mind for America. They are preparing to hunt down and murder conservatives, Christians and Trump supporters. This is what communist cleansing always entails.
And judging by this from Tuesday he obviously thought something had been planned to disrupt the inauguration. I wonder if he's been reading Qanon's shite:
We have reason for concern today, given that Trump's people missed the "declass" waypoint that was set for yesterday. This likely indicates efforts have been thwarted or significantly delayed.

Thus, we urge everyone to prepare for the worst case outcome tomorrow. The extreme militarization of DC is an indication that Biden is a fake president who fears the people of America and believes he needs razor war to separate himself from the voters who supposedly elected him. (What a joke.)

In today's Situation Update, I bring you the latest details on where this seems to be headed. There remains reason for hope, but the overall situation is now looking very concerning.

Judging by other recent ravings he expects elements within the military to arrest Biden, Obama & Clinton and re-install Trump.

I imagine Bush will be added to that list if he hasn't already.

There's this from Monday. Hilarious, as the man would say:
I hope you're ready for some good news today. The situation may look dire, but today I bring you details on why it may yet turn out in our favor.

The military buildup in DC isn't about protecting Biden from protesters, it's about turning DC into a holding facility for upcoming military tribunals against the traitors who tried to overthrow America with rigged elections.

The US Marines are even being deployed there now, and 2,000 National Guard troops were just deputized today as US Marshals with arrest power.

My Situation Update for today brings you the full details.

Because nothing say true American patriot dedicated to defending the American Way of Life than the open, rabid support for a military coup and installation of a fascist dictatorship (temporaily) to kill your political opponents and other such undesirables.

My history is a bit ropey but I assume that's always worked out wonderfully in the past.

Hold on to your Confederate dollars, boys; the South will rise again.

(South fails to rise again for 150th straight year, as the Onion likes to say.)

Thus let it be with these loons. I mean, the South had an actual army, not 14* year olds typing fantasy wankbait about all Dems imminently being swooped upon and arrested by Marines and taken to a secret underground base to face televised trial for treason.

*With all due apologies to actual 14 year olds, I mean of course people who should f.cking know better.

I thought it was a great final episode.

Lots of touching moments.

Sad that the series has come to an end. It was the bestest thing ever.

There continues to be talk about a spin-off series, using some of the same characters in a legal drama. I really want this to happen. Wouldn't mind a prison drama, either, though that would probably be minor characters rather than the main players. There'll definitely be a special coming soon, based around the impeachment storyline.

I dunno. I thought it wrapped up all the threads a little too smoothly and there was no sense of drama. Maybe they'd blown all the budget on the episodes aired between 4 November and 6 January.

They must have - you can see they had no budget for extras to fill the National Mall, so had to use flags.

Adams apparently thinks Trump has moved on to 6-D chess.

To get the full flavour, you need to read the comments. The nutbaggers are starting to turn - Trump threw them under a bus and Adams has been feeding them false hope.

Although others are touting Trump's 4 Nobel Peace Prizes as evidence of something?

As a knitter, I have to say my gloves are much nicer and better knitted than Bernie Sanders'. That's some sloppy stitchwork, especially round the wrist. That's my expert political take on the inauguration.

thought they were made from cut-up jumpers sewn onto cuffs rather than knitted afresh from recovered yarn.

It looks like that but the construction is clumsy. Look at the machine stitching around the wrist - that's shoddy.
