'Looking forward to the impending reign of apocalyptic carnage ushered in by these babies that are being summoned into the world with gender-reveal party fires that lay waste to entire forests. They will be cruel and merciless overlords.'

Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize... again.

'Fox News got very excited Wednesday morning when announcing its exclusive that President Donald Trump had been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. What it didn't mention was that hundreds of people are nominated every year, and that Trump's nomination—for his role in the new Israel-United Arab Emirates agreement—came from one of Norway's most well-known anti-immigration cranks. The nomination was submitted by Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian parliament, who also nominated Trump in 2018.'

Do gender reveals (for fetuses) actually indicate hostility towards trans people? Or are conservatives just afraid to call them 'sex reveals'?

'Trump Campaign: Donate or Antifa Will "Attack Your Homes"

Trump's campaign solicited donations Saturday with a fear-mongering text warning of impending violent attacks by anti-fascist activists under a Joe Biden presidency: "ANTIFA ALERT: They'll attack your homes if Joe's elected. Pres Trump needs you to become a Diamond Club Member. Your name is MISSING. Donate." There is no existing evidence to support the claim that anti-fascists are planning violence should the former vice president win the election.'

'Televangelist Pat Robertson Says Black Lives Matter Is Trying to Destroy Christianity

[...] "They're talking about Marxist communism," Robertson said. "They're talking about destroying the nuclear family. They're talking about destroying essentially Christianity as being racist. And all the way through, they want to upend the capitalist structure and destroy America."

[...] "Of course we want to stand with people against police brutality. Of course we do. But we don't want to go along with a lesbian, anti-family, anti-capitalist Marxist revolution."'

Just as comment here. Any member of the Norwegian parliament, any previous winner, any head of state and ministers (with exceptions), and others, can nominate people for the Nobel Peace Price. It is entirely meaningless that a person has been nominated. In this instance, Trump was nominated by our local far right nut.

All you need to do is remind him that Obama actually WON the nobel peace prize, without doing a thing. That's big dick president energy, unlike low effort, No Nobel Trump. What a loser. SAD!

'Trump election ad uses stock military image "featuring Russian fighter jets"

A fundraising ad for US president Donald Trump's re-election campaign reportedly used a stock photo featuring Russian fighter jets and weapons as part of a call for viewers to "support our troops".'

And by 'our' he means....

'Trump Coronavirus Official Michael Caputo Says the CDC Is Conspiring to Murder Him

[...] In a Sunday Facebook Live appearance, the HHS official alleged that there is a seditious "resistance unit" within the CDC that is attempting to sustain the pandemic until after the presidential election—and said that he believes this unit is plotting to murder him. (Said Caputo: "They're going to have to kill me, and unfortunately, I think that's where this is going.") In addition to this targeted assassination, Caputo asserted that left-wing activists are conducting "drills" across the country to prepare to kill Trump supporters in the event that Joe Biden does not win the election.

Caputo also confirmed a report that he has been put in charge of an imminent $250 million coronavirus public-information campaign that, conveniently for the president, plans to promote a message of "hope" regarding the pandemic's course.

[...] If Caputo is killed by a secret-scientist-assassin murder cabal, however, one could see it creating a kind of "sympathy vote" effect for the incumbent. Jury's still out!'

'Michael Scheuer used to hunt Osama bin Laden, whom he now says he admires. Now his quarry is Donald Trump's enemies, whom he equates with terrorists.

The former senior CIA official once in charge of the hunt for Osama bin Laden has spent the summer calling for the slaughter of his fellow Americans.

Michael Scheuer calls Black Lives Matter a "terrorist organization" and a "semi-human mob." On his blog and his podcast, Scheuer rages against a widespread, treasonous conspiracy targeting not only President Trump but the fundamental character of the American republic. It deserves "punishment... we've not seen before in this country." Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year old charged with murder for shooting demonstrators at a Kenosha, Wisconsin, protest, is a "young hero." If America is lucky, Scheuer wrote last week, "Rittenhouse's necessary, patriotic, and constitutional actions will power the formation of militias across the United States." In July, he wrote that "loyal Americans know their domestic enemies, as well as their locations, in detail, and will be able to act swiftly to eliminate them and the threat they pose."

[...] "The only thing I would be upset about if it came to war is that not enough Democrats would get killed," he said on his podcast[...]

[...] the conspiracy was less important than what it licensed: "Personally, I would prefer immediate and lethal, post-trial punishment —by loyal-citizen firing squads chosen by lottery," he wrote. Targets included the "Kenya-born" Obama, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, John Brennan, Washington Post columnist David Ignatius, Russiagate's Christopher Steele and leading congressional Democrats. Other hit lists include journalists, academics, "any police chief or officer" who supports police budget cuts, and "all medical doctors, teachers, and teacher unions advocating the continued closure of schools across the republic," which Scheuer sees as commensurate with the predations of Jeffrey Epstein and, allegedly, Ghislane Maxwell. "There is no Constitutional protection for U.S. citizens who wage war against their country, especially those who enlist foreign governments to assist them," Scheuer judged—meaning not the "Russia, if you're listening" president, but Trump's opponents.

To Scheuer, there are no protesters. There is instead a "sub-human insurgent threat," armed by the Democratic Party and funded by people like George Soros and Bill Gates, "rioting in honor of felonious scum" like police brutality victims George Floyd and Jacob Blake. "If you have enough loyal general officers to destroy the domestic enemy, arrest the disloyal generals and do so as soon as you can, and use as much violence as is necessary to terminate this threat forever," Scheuer urged Trump on June 5, when the president's D.C. crackdown was underway. The generals who opposed using the military for that termination were exemplars of America's lost wars who were now "helping the Democrats to destroy the republic." If Joe Biden wins the election, Scheuer predicted the next month on his podcast, Democrats would be "silly to imagine it's going to preserve their lives."'

Not satire.

Neither is this:

'QAnon/GOP Senate Nominee Is A Racist Flat-Earther With Arrest Record For Heroin, Meth, DUI, And More

With her victory still just hours old, the newest Republican Senate nominee publicly thanked a white nationalist leader who marched in the "Unite the Right" rally and has questioned the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust.

Witzke has posted racist messages of her own on social media, calling Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) "third world" and "tards." Witzke has also more or less endorsed the idea of Trump becoming a lifelong king of the United States, and said she believes that the earth is flat.'

I think it's More a case of who can be registered, who has access to voting places and how many loops do you have to jump through.

This year you should probably be cautious that a machine gun wielding "patriot" doesn't gun you down for suspicion of being an Antifa socialist pedophile.

'Ferro didn't vote in 2016 but has since become a strong supporter of Donald Trump. "Why does the news hate the President so much?" she says. "I went down the rabbit hole. I started doing a lot of research."

When I ask what she means by research, something shifts. Her voice has the same honey tone as before, and her face is as friendly as ever. But there's an uncanny flash as she says, "This is where I don't know what I can say, because what's integrated into our system, it stems deep. [...]"

There are thousands of QAnon groups and pages on Facebook, with millions of members[...] Dozens of QAnon-friendly candidates have run for Congress, and at least three have won GOP primaries. Trump has called its adherents "people that love our country."

[...] calmly informed me that an evil cabal operates tunnels under the U.S. in order to rape and torture children and drink their blood. [...]

[...] spends most of her free time researching child sex trafficking, [...] she often finds this information on the Russian-owned search engine Yandex. Frank’s eyes fill with tears as she describes what she’s found: children who are being raped and tortured so that “the cabal” can “extract their blood and drink it.” She says Trump has seized the blood on the black market as part of his fight against the cabal. “I think if Biden wins, the world is over, basically,” adds Arthur. “I would honestly try to leave the country. And if that wasn’t an option, I would probably take my children and sit in the garage and turn my car on and it would be over.”

[...] They aren't just infected with conspiracy; they appear to be inoculated against reality.

"They're not on the same epistemological grounding, they're not living in the same worlds," says Whitney Phillips, a professor at Syracuse who studies online disinformation. "You cannot have a functioning democracy when people are not at the very least occupying the same solar system."

[...] 25% of Americans say there is some truth to the conspiracy theory that the COVID-19 pandemic was intentionally planned. [...] more than half of Republican respondents believed some part of QAnon: 33% said they believed the conspiracy was "mostly true," while 26% said "some parts" are true.

[...] "COVID was manufactured," says Maureen Bloedorn, walking into a Dollar Tree in Kenosha. She did not vote for Trump in 2016 but plans to support him in November, in part because "he sent Obama a bill for all of his vacations he took on the American dime." This idea was popularized by a fake news story that originated on a satirical website and went viral.

[...] The rise in conspiratorial thinking is the product of several interrelated trends: declining trust in institutions; demise of local news; a social-media environment that makes rumor easy to spread and difficult to debunk; a President who latches onto anything and anyone he thinks will help his political fortunes. It's also a part of our wiring. "The brain likes crazy," says Nicco Mele, the former director of Harvard's Shorenstein Center, who studies the spread of online disinformation and conspiracies. Because of this, experts say, algorithms on platforms like Facebook and YouTube are designed to serve up content that reinforces existing beliefs–learning what users search for and feeding them more and more extreme content in an attempt to keep them on their sites.

[...] Experts who follow disinformation say nothing will change until Facebook and YouTube shift their business model away from the algorithms that reward conspiracies. "We are not anywhere near peak crazy," says Mele. Phillips, the professor from Syracuse, agrees that things will get weirder. "We're in trouble," she adds. "Words sort of fail to capture what a nightmare scenario this is."

[...] After yoga in the morning, Ferro says, she often spends hours watching videos, immersing herself in a world she believes is bringing her ever closer to the truth. "You can't stop, because it's so addicting to have this knowledge of what kind of world we're living in," she says. "We're living in an alternate reality."'
