US Politics, October 2018: next week will be even longer

oic

Why can't the crazies be more like the Time Cube dude?

There was this guy in my previous neighbourhood who would spend his days muttering stock antisemitic phrases to himself in the park. I always wished he were invoking Demogorgon instead or some such, it would have been far less frightening.

I better cover up my 2018 Amway preseason coaches poll I have on my Buick.

( ^^ this appears to be the guy, vis a vis a selfie video at a rally of himself/people chanting TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP)

No one would suicide bomb their reputation like this.

Treesh is saying the guy is a false flag

ugh he has more followers than me

Umm no xp

Those Oct. 18 tweets are really something.

I was saying no antifa would go down in history as a right wing terrorist “for the cause.”

idk this guy's reputation seems pretty firebombed to me

But in his mind he is going down for doing something good.

He is not ashamed of his right wing beliefs

he is a living, breathing russian twitter bot

that twitter feed is legit insane

He's actually Ukrainian, but yeah, he's def a irl.bot

"well, no one was hurt... so in a way, this clearly unwell man did the Democrats a favor" --Fox & Friends tomorrow, to be tweeted basically word for word 20 min later by our big baby boy Pres

hey man we're just running america like a business :)

In a political climate exclusively intent on effects rather than their causes, that makes perfect sense.

xp

anyway re the van: what a dope way to keep cops from pulling you over

OMG. My husband just called and said "Remember that picture I texted you of that crazy Trump van that delivered lunch to my office? THAT WAS THE GUY!" This is the picture he sent me of the van parked at his office on November 1, 2017. #FloridaMan @FBI pic.twitter.com/18BimNzNhi

ha!

My husband took the picture but won’t allow you guys to use it because you aren’t a reliable source of what’s going on in our country today. Sorry!

LOL well played

go lesley's husband

I can't say that I'll be terribly brokenhearted if this results in a rash of people reporting MAGA chuds for suspicious behavior.

Like, on the one hand I don't want people to be harassed for their political views, but on the other hand these specific people should maybe be gathered into a giant burlap sack and thrown into the ocean.

It would even better if right wing nutjobs started suspecting each other of being in the employ of George Soros and planning false flag operations - who do they report it to though?

I suppose they just kill each other to be on the safe side ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Gotta stand that ground, m'man.

mm, yes, better

Trump hits "globalists" at WH event after call for unity in wake of bomb-scare suspects arrested. Several audience members shout out "George Soros" and others shout "lock 'em up." Trump chuckles, points and repeats "lock 'em up."

Just worth remarking on the fact that a guy who verbatim repeats talking points from the President of the United States of America is considered ipso facto mentally ill

on one hand the van is literally covered in trump stickers so eventually most of the right will acknowledge that this guy was inspired by trump. on the other, he is obviously kind of off the deep end, so they'll be able to compartmentalize him and his actions from trump and the republicans.

the undercurrent of all of this is a political argument - "trump's constant attacks on the media and calls for violence are dangerous, and some people are beginning to act on them. this has to stop." that's what the false flag theories are fighting against. in the end it'll be a wash, because no one on the right is going to believe that this guy has anything to do with what they stand for.

I was about to say that, judging by his twitter page, the guy appears to be an illiterate suggestible moron with mental health issues but I realized some people might think I was talking about the President of the United States.

that's about 1/2 of the country (conservative estimate)

"I love the mentally deranged"

lol conservative estimate

I don't think it's unfair to say that even the most stable Trump supporter is probably like one blood sugar crash away from committing acts on par with those of Van Dude. These are not well people.

from Bensonhurst!

a liberal estimate then

ayy brooklyn in the news

lol at his linkedin page

This fucking guy

Never mind; outsmarted myself in conjuring false flag operation designed to hurt @realDonaldTrump & #GOP. Actual alleged perp 56-year old #CesarSayoc is apparently stereotype most media assumed: a middle-aged, rabid, extreme right winger w a troubled past & long criminal record.

descended from Filipino anticommunists, so his MAGA stuff musta replaced a shrine to Marcos.

that's geraldo's problem, he is always outsmarting himself

some things are not mutually exclusive here, "troubled past" = "extreme right winger"

Is “outsmarting” yourself a new way of saying you were deadass wrong about something? Asking for a friend.
