Aneristic Illusions / Re: President Biden Drops Out ...

I found this on a couple of political sites yesterday afternoon:

"Twitter Suspends 'White Dudes For Harris' Account After $4 Million Fundraising Call"

As per this article:

""We scared @elonmusk and @DonaldJTrumpJr so much tonight they suspended our account and won't let us back in," Nellis wrote on his own X page, using the handles of X owner Elon Musk and the son of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. "These guys are running scared of the success we've had tonight, but we're not going to quit."

Celebrities like Jeff Bridges, Josh Groban, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Lance Bass, among others, joined the White Dudes for Harris fundraising call, which raised $4 million for Harris' Democratic campaign. On X, the White Dudes for Harris account describes itself as "Just a few dudes who support Kamala Harris.""

Here's the link to this article:      Twitter Suspends 'White Dudes For Harris' Account

The MSM pretty much dropped the ball on this story, and even the above quoted media outlet didn't bother to update their post when the account was eventually restored. But, it does kind of look like at least one of the 'Oligarchs for TSF' is scared.

While I like that Jeff bridges has endorsed her, I prefer to think that The Dude would not be all that tuned in with what is currently happening in the world of politics.

The Dude himself has endorsed Kamala Harris for POTUS.

"The Dude Abides Kamala: Jeff Bridges Joins 'White Dudes for Harris' Fundraiser"

""I qualify, man. I'm white, I'm a dude, and I'm for Harris," he said."

As per this article:

"Jeff Bridges, whose portrayal of slacker Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski in 1998's The Big Lebowski spawned an annual festival and even a religion, emphatically endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign during a "White Dudes For Harris" Zoom fundraising call Monday night.

"I qualify, man. I'm white, I'm a dude, and I'm for Harris," he said on the call, which he fielded from a recliner in a garage."

Here's the link:   The Dude Endorses

Now, I would have thought the Dudeists would be concerned about losing their 'religious tax exempt status' with the IRS, for violating 'The Restriction of Political Campaign Intervention by Section 501(c)(3) Tax-Exempt Organizations.'

But, now that I've thought about it, they were probably too lazy to file for 'religious tax exempt status' in the first place.

I see the Kamala Harris Campaign is using the adjective 'weird' to describe TSF and his newly designated partner in crime.

Now, I would have used the word 'creepy' instead. But, after thinking about it a bit, I realized, for the long haul, the Harris Campaign probably did make the better choice. And, that's because 'weird' may be a weaker synonym, but it subtlety implies the noun(s) being modified is/are also 'insignificant.'

Language is a many splendored thing.

Feels good to release stuff like this. I'm not sure why I was letting it collect dust for so long.

High Weirdness / It's The Heritage Foundation C...
Last post by Brother Mythos - July 28, 2024, 11:36:43 PM
The Heritage Foundation, hell-bent for establishing an authoritarian regime in the US of A, has apparently panicked after realizing the MSM coverage of the assassination attempt on TSF didn't generate a boost in his polling numbers. And so, they've resorted to this:

"Right-Wing Group Makes Questionable Claims About Man Who Shot At Donald Trump"

"The Heritage Foundation used mobile ad data to imply a conspiracy theory about Thomas Crooks, signifying a new era of political groups tracking citizens' movements."

As per this article:

"The Oversight Project — part of the powerful right-wing think tank the Heritage Foundation — claimed this week that it used mobile ad data from cell phones to track the movements of Thomas Crooks in the year leading up to his attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally earlier this month.
 
"We found the assassin's connections through our in-depth analysis of mobile ad data to track movements of Crooks and his associates," the Oversight Project wrote on social media on Monday, explaining that it had identified nine "devices that were located at Crook's home and his work within the past year."
 
The organization suggested that Crooks may have had some connection to the FBI before the shooting, writing: "Someone who regularly visited Crooks home and work also visited a building in Washington, DC located in Gallery Place. This is in the same vicinity of an @FBI office on June 26, 2023. Who's device is this?""

Here's the link to this article:      The Heritage Foundation Conspiracy Theory

I thought inventing and spreading conspiracy theories was our job. But, obviously, we don't have a monopoly on this sort of thing.

Anyway, the Heritage Foundation is implying the FBI, the very same FBI that announced the reopening of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails two weeks prior to the 2016 presidential election and threw the race in TSF's favor, is somehow now involved in a deep state conspiracy to assassinate him. Still, the Heritage Foundation neglected to report the FBI's apparent motive was a serious case of 'buyer's remorse.' And, everyone knows a believable conspiracy theory needs a believable motive.

So, I don't see this Heritage Foundation attempt gaining much traction. In the end, I think it will just be rolled into an overall 'TSF's False Flag Conspiracy Theory,' or better yet, 'The Kremlin Candidate Conspiracy Theory.'

Thanks for the plug, Old-timer.

if forums had "modern" features, i would have done something like "hit a thumbs up" button, or attach a icon to your statement

like two glasses of beer doing "cheers"

the only other quick option i had aside from quoting the message was to report it to the moderator

hahahahaaa
