DailyDot: Was Joe Biden secretly Lee Harvey Oswald? New QAnon theory posits JFK’s killer is in the Oval Office

Conspiracy theorists are suddenly convinced that Lee Harvey Oswald, the man accused of assassinating President John F. Kennedy in 1963, was actually Joe Biden.
...
Ironically, the claim also contradicts another popular conspiracy theory within the QAnon crowd that blames the assassination of JFK on the father of Texas Senator Ted Cruz.

The false accusation aimed at Cruz was later shared by Donald Trump in 2016, helping to cement the story as undeniably true among Trump’s ardent supporters.

CNN: Secret history: Even before the revolution, America was a nation of conspiracy theorists

brutal conflict in Europe was fresh in people’s minds and the race for the White House turned ugly as talk of secret societies and corruption roiled the United States.

It was 1800, and conspiracy theories were flourishing across America. Partisan newspapers spread tales of European elites seeking to seize control of the young democracy. Preachers in New England warned of plots to abolish Christianity in favor of godlessness and depravity.

The NY Times - Supreme Court Gives Prosecutors a Week to Respond in Trump Immunity Case

 

13 Feb 2024

 


The Supreme Court on Tuesday gave Jack Smith, the special counsel prosecuting former President Donald J. Trump, a week to respond to Mr. Trump’s emergency application asking the justices to halt an appeals court’s ruling that rejected his claim that he is absolutely immune from criminal charges.

 

In asking Mr. Smith to respond by next Tuesday at 4 p.m., the justices did not set a particularly speedy schedule.  

 

But nothing prevents Mr. Smith from filing sooner, and he probably will. ...

 

In asking the Supreme Court to intervene on Monday, Mr. Trump’s lawyers urged the justices to move at a deliberate pace.*

 

 

* Translation:  "delay, delay, delay"   🙄

Yeh, delay, and delay, 
Certain Republican/Trumplican/Evangelical comments go that the case is not strong, because its taking too long.
Or that Left/Democrats/Deep-State, deliberately took their time to ruin the election.
Followed by, we have the right to select a dictator, the meanest and most vengeful cos thats what smitey God would do.
Jesus was just some woke counter-revolutionary traitor.

 

Would not be surprised if Supreme court go, well its such a difficult question, we have to wait till after the election.

"Jimmy Kimmel Live" monologue:

Tanny Soprano is now also putting his greasy little baby carrot fingers in the Republican National Committee.

Trump has endorsed his son's Eric wife, his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump to co-chair the Republican National Committee, RNC.

Well you know what his son-in-law Jared Kushner totally fixed the Middle East. Why not let his daughter-in-law fix the Republican Party? Trump issued a strong statement of support for Lara he said

Trump post: "My very talented daughter-in-law has agreed to run as the RNC co-chair .Lara is an extremely talented communicator and is dedicated to all that MAGA stands for. She's told me she wants to accept this challenge and would be GREAT."

Poor Eric. His wife got more compliments in that one post than his father gave him in his entire life so far.
...
Why this is diabolical is the chairperson of the RNC controls where the money goes when people donate money to the party. She controls it and that's why Trump wants Eric's wife in there.
...
Trump has been making the rounds trying to scare voters into paying him.

He gave a speech to members of the NRA in Harrisburg over the weekend where he gave them a very weird reason why why he is needed back in the white house

Trump: "We have to win in November or we're not going to have Pennsylvania. They'll change the name they're going to change the name for Pennsylvania. "

Be my Valentine?

 

 

Melania has not been seen by Trump's side for months, barring an appearance by the pair at her mother's funeral in January. 

 

At that gathering, the couple rode in separate cars.  👺

I find it hilarious that Trump bashes Nikki Haley's husband for not being present at her campaign rallies (because he is on active duty in the military overseas) while Melania rigorously avoids his own events. Maybe that valentine is a desperate plea to her to at least show up at one.

Why did Trump put "I want to be loved" in quotes?

The Hill: Trump rages at ‘foolish’ GOP candidate who lost race for Santos’s New York House seat

...
Trump wrote Tuesday night.

“MAGA, WHICH IS MOST OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, STAYED HOME – AND IT ALWAYS WILL, UNLESS IT IS TREATED WITH THE RESPECT THAT IT DESERVES.

I STAYED OUT OF THE RACE,

‘I WANT TO BE LOVED!’

GIVE US A REAL CANDIDATE IN THE DISTRICT FOR NOVEMBER.

[Democrat opponent] SUOZZI, I KNOW HIM WELL,

CAN BE EASILY BEATEN!”

Because there is no known way to represent Trump speech augmentation in text

Trump has no concept of spelling, grammar or context. He says whatever comes into his head, which is becoming increasingly disjointed. He also 'writes' that way (quotes to indicate that Trump writing is like a monkey at a keyboard). The quoted remark was intended by him to be speaking sarcastically in Haley's voice, but Trump is too ignorant of the English language to know how to do that.

I notice most of the people in the background of that gif look distinctly uninterested in whatever the hell it is he's saying.
