The GOP Is No Longer Just "Using" QAnon: The GOP Now IS QAnon-- What Does This Mean? Part I-- Introduction-- In the course of the last month or so, Donald Trump has ended his "side chick" type of flirtation with the proto-terrorist conspiracy cult QAnon, and entered into a full-blown public political marriage with them. Hence, the overwhelming majority of those who represent the GOP leadership and activist base has embraced this new relationship and incorporated it fully into their election strategy. This has very big and horrifying implications for the GOP's post-election strategy, which should be self-evident to those not suffering from election day tunnel vision.  As ugly and frightening as this reality is, I believe a conversation about it is needed in order to be prepared for what comes next.  Certain facts about QAnon bear repeating for purposes of background.  Part I-- The QAnon conspiracy is inordinately fixated on pedophilia, and has fabricated a conspi...

  The GOP Is No Longer "Using" QAnon: The GOP Now IS QAnon-- What Does This Mean? Part II—The GOP Repurposes QAnon's “Blood Libel” Into A New Culture War, Version 2.0 [“President Trump addressed the baseless, far-right QAnon conspiracy theory directly for the first time on Wednesday, saying he didn't know much about the online community and its followers other than "they like me very much." "I heard that these are people who love our country," Trump added in response to a question about the conspiracy community during a press briefing at the White House. When a reporter partially summed up the conspiracy theory to him — that it revolves around a false narrative that Trump is leading a secret, government-led charge against pedophiles, cannibals and satanic worshippers — Trump responded: "Is that supposed to be a bad thing?" "If I can help save the world from problems, I'm willing to do it," Trump said.”] The above quote from ...

(Photo collage: top, former Attorney General and Federalist Society leader, William Barr. Bottom, Nazi Jurist, Professor Carl Schmitt, Barr's model of jurisprudence)  What Is The Federalist Society And Their Concept Of Federalism, Really?  (A comment in response to Professor HCR's letter this morning, in which she details the bloody Putin-style police state measures that TFS and the GOP would impose on the US. HCR quotes John Daniel Davidson in "The Federalist," outlining the various categories of persons who should be charged with felonies and arrested, jailed and suppressed, based on their choices of lifestyle and personal beliefs)  It is no coincidence that The Federalist Society venerates the infamous German law professor and jurist Carl Schmitt, who was Adolph Hitler's legal adviser. Schmitt was the person originating the concept of the "unitary executive" theory of government, claiming that the head of state should be able to invoke emergency power...

No, It's Not Us Who Are Nuts, Thank You-- Speaking of gaslighting, every single thing which President Biden is doing on inflation, Ukraine, student debt, prescription drugs, climate, etc, in defending the "General Welfare," national security, and in doing those necessary things for the people which they cannot do themselves, is being attacked by MAGA as a mid-term election "stunt" to elect Democrats.  There are at least two relevant points in need of emphasis, because as those still in possession of minimally two functioning brain cells to rub together are already aware, this is yet another fabrication from the pit of Russia's "Fifth Column," the GOP. (Gang Of Putin) First, most of what the President is doing is, in fact, reversing the galactic failures and self-aggrandizing malign neglect of Putin's man in the White House, now and going forward to be known as "defendant Donald Trump."  Second, let us not so subtly remind these overtl...

My Brief Comment On Professor Heather Cox Richardson's's Morning Letter-- Subject: The Trump MAGA machine has total control of the GOP, and intends to disregard the vote when they lose. What this really means, in plain language.-- It should be clear based on these reports that the Trump/MAGA associated terrorist entities such as the militias, neo-nazis and QAnon are a serious threat to launch nationwide physical attacks on state capitols and election related agencies, as they did on January 6th to overturn elections they will lose. Pennsylvania and Arizona in particular, because their candidates are backed by heavily armed violent extremists and Nazis. Nazis don't believe in obtaining justice in the courts through due process.  President Biden is, in my view, likely going to have to invoke the 1807 Act and use the military to defend the election results. They have to be doing contingency planning for this, and I don't see the point of not discussing it. All of the MAGA ...

Tulsi Gabbard Launches Her Campaign For Putin's VP In Arizona-- This story is what I would call interesting, in the sense that if I were a virologist, examining mutations in a lab setting, I would be clinically observant about the ability of the virus to evade immunity and spread, and especially its new level of lethality. In this case, the virus is Tulsi Gabbard, and she has mutated from a Kyrsten Sinema type centrist who was never a real Democrat, (but had a pseudo-Christian cult programming in her family history) to a full blown QAnon/Nazi election-denying insurrectionist, all implied by her endorsement of Neo-Nazi candidates in Arizona, Kari Lake and Blake Masters, and her expressed commitment to campaign for them in person. (Link to coverage in "The Hill" below) It actually is a mistake to think she is now just endorsing GOP candidates because she is remaking herself as a Fox News pundit. She is ambitious and crazy, and has rebounded from one cult into another in muc...

British PM Liz Truss To Her Finance Minister- "You Are Fired For Promoting My Program!" Yesterday Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng became new Prime Minister Truss' personal "Quasimodo" of Victor Hugo's "Hunchback" fame, put in chains and carried through London's financial district to be pelted with garbage and blamed for the hideous program announced by his own boss at 10 Downing Street, only 37 days into their fiasco of a government.  (Covered in today's "Daily Beast") https://www.thedailybeast.com/british-government-close-to-collapse-as-chancellor-kami-kwasi-fired-after-disastrous-38-days-in-office?ref=scroll Unbelievably, (and I say that with a stiff upper lip while LMFAO) he is gone, after putting forward the demented proposals of his long-time political patron Truss, whose program for eliminating the "top rate" level tax for the richest people, removing all limits to bonuses for bankers, guaranteeing energ...
