Tracker Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) Trump’s Lawyer Sidney Powell Is Hardcore QAnon. Her performance at Thursday's press conference was virtually a recitation of QAnon’s greatest hits. Rudy Giuliani grabbed most of the headlines after his dangerously unhinged press conference on Thursday where he made baseless claims about rigged election results that were off the wall — even by his standards. But his performance was nothing compared to Trump’s other lawyer, Sidney Powell, whose statement was a litany of unfounded allegations that appeared to have been lifted wholesale from the QAnon fever swamp. This is how Powell began her statement at the press conference: “What we are really dealing with here, and uncovering more by the day, is the massive influence of communist money through Venezuela, Cuba, and likely China in the interference with our elections here in the United States.” What followed was virtually a recitation of QAnon’s greatest hits, and Powell ended her tirade almost in tears, essentially telling those listening to “stick to the plan,” a phrase that has become a QAnon rallying cry since Trump lost the election. “We are not going to back down,” she said. “We are going to clean this mess up now. President Trump won by a landslide. We are going to prove it, and we are going to reclaim the United States of America for the people who vote for freedom.” The comments were essentially a dog whistle to the QAnon community, which has been waging a disinformation war on social media since the election earlier this month, helping to boost conspiracy theories that have made their way to the Oval Office. Giuliani and Powell’s comments have been widely criticized. Chris Krebs, the recently fired head of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), called Thursday’s press conference “the most dangerous 1hr 45 minutes of television in American history. And possibly the craziest.” Yet, for anyone who’s tracked Powell’s public pronouncements in recent years, the outlandish claims and winks toward QAnon conspiracy theories came as no surprise. Exactly a year before Thursday’s press conference, Powell appeared on a QAnon YouTube show and praised the host's support for her other client, former national security advisor Michael Flynn, as “huge and extremely helpful.” The appearance on the YouTube show was not the first time Powell had publicly backed QAnon, the baseless conspiracy theory that claims Donald Trump is secretly battling the deep state while trying to uncover a cannibalistic Satanic child sex-trafficking network operated by Democrats and the Hollywood elite. She has retweeted major QAnon accounts, including that of Tracey Diaz, identified by NBC as one of the three people who helped take QAnon from the obscure 4chan message board to a more mainstream audience. She has also tweeted “#TheStormIsComing” and “#TheStorm,” phrases regularly used by QAnon supporters. Prior to becoming one of Trump’s main conspiracy pushers, Powell was most famous as a lawyer for Flynn, who himself is a significant figure within the QAnon mythos. Flynn, who QAnon recently helped to get to 1 million Twitter followers, has signed copies of his book with the #WWG1WGA hashtag, has the QAnon-linked #DigitalSoldiers and #TakeTheOath hashtags in his Twitter bio, and most blatantly, he posted a video of himself and his family on Independence Day pledging allegiance to the movement by reciting the QAnon oath. But it’s not like Powell is trying to hide any of this. Just look at her Twitter account. Her profile picture shows her with Flynn while a “storm” rages in the background over the White House, a less-than-subtle hint at “the storm is coming.” Her background image says “We the people,” another QAnon phrase. Powell has also recently added the hashtag #Kraken to her bio after she kick-started a new conspiracy theory during an interview on Fox Business, where she claimed the Trump administration was going to release huge reams of “evidence” about voter fraud. The hashtag #ReleasetheKraken has since been embraced wholeheartedly by the QAnon community. Powell did not immediately return requests for comment about her links to QAnon. While the QAnon community embraced Powell’s comments on Thursday, others who had previously supported Powell’s allegations seem to have decided that she had crossed a red line. Highlighting just how deranged Powell’s conspiracy theories have become, even Tucker Carlson, Fox News’ go-to conspiracy guy, rejected them on his show on Thursday night. Unsurprisingly, the QAnon community didn’t take Carlson’s rejection of Powell very well. (It's gotta be hard for Trump's supporters to decide exactly how much crazy is enough and how much is too much) Edited November 23, 2020 by Tracker Wanna-B-Fanboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) Unbelievable...apparently, Murphy sent the letter. Trump just tweeted previously: “I want to thank Emily Murphy at GSA for her steadfast dedication and loyalty to our Country. She has been harassed, threatened, and abused – and I do not want to see this happen to her, her family, or employees of GSA. Our case STRONGLY continues, we will keep up the good...fight, and I believe we will prevail! Nevertheless, in the best interest of our Country, I am recommending that Emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the same.

Murphy refused to respond to the Congress's demand that she appear to explain her refusal to begin the transition in a timely fashion. They ought to subpoena her regardless and grille her undet threat of incarceration to make a point. 1 minute ago, bustamente said: You can sure tell when Trump doesn't write a tweet, proper grammar and punctuation instead of poor spelling and all caps.

Tracker Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 If the GOP follows the pattern of right-wing political parties, the crazies will continue to move in until the relatively sane members can not longer stand them and the party will spilt down the middle and one or the other will devolve into a rump party. This will move the right into the wilderness and after a time, there be a sort of shotgun wedding between them, as has happened in Alberta and the PC/Reform merger.

This Parler movement to write in Trump for the Georgia senate race is the first thing the MAGA crowd has suggested that I agree with. Since Trump is not registered as a candidate, any write-in for him is simply a spoiled ballot, and since it will only eat away at Republican votes, both Senate swats could flip Democrat and result in a 50-50 Senate, with the VP being the tie-breaker as needed. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. bustamente, MOBomberFan and JCon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
