First, a chunk of the MAGA party are Q adherents - they’d be more than happy to read ‘codes’ into literally anything he said. They’d consider it a feature, not a bug. Another chunk will excuse nearly anything semi-coherent he says under the whole ‘tall tale telling’ excuse - he’s telling exaggerated or made up stories to sell the ‘bigger point’. So literal truth isn’t important to them. And then there a whole lot of various single issue voters who will support anyone who is for/against what they are for/against. And since they normally assume anyone with a (D) behind their name is against/for what they are for/against, they’d vote for the aforementioned “PURPLE MONKEY DISHWASHER” as long as it had (R) behind it’s name. But before we devolve into yet another discussion of this phenomenon, I go back to schadenfreude: > **[GOP official arrested over Jan. 6 involvement](https://www.newsweek.com/gop-official-arrested-over-jan-6-1849182)** > > Siaka Massaquoi, first vice-chair of the Republican Party of Los Angeles, was reportedly charged over his presence at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. > Videos that were shared on social media showed Massaquoi inside the Capitol on January 6, 2021, when supporters of former President [Donald Trump](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/donald-trump) stormed the building in a bid to disrupt the certification of [Joe Biden](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/joe-biden)’s election victory. > > Massaquoi appears in _Lady Ballers_, a [controversial new film](https://www.newsweek.com/lady-ballers-rotten-tomatoes-transgender-film-1848952)mocking transgender women in sports. The actor, whose other roles have included small parts on shows including _NCIS: Los Angeles_ and _S.W.A.T._, spoke about being in Washington, D.C., on January 6, 2021, on a podcast last month. So, a total piece of shit, and the first vice-chair of the Republican Party of Los Angeles. Granted, in terms of national importance, that’s probably not too different from being the Chair of the LGBQT+ Equality Team for Lubbock Texas, but, well, hope he is too stupid to take a plea deal and ends up with more serious consequences. ---

Umm, it would be claimed to be antifa, the FBI, some other scam run be the, “Biden crime family.” It would be described despite video, and eye witnesses that he was actually healing the baby. Same shit different offense. ---

Rather than support, I think enthusiasm is the right word. He’s going to have their support, no matter what. But I think those deplorable bastards will be more outspoken in their enthusiastic support about the exercise if he were to choose a rather “ethnic” looking baby, for example. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > It’s uncanny. Hahahahaha 🤣 Was watching the latest Kimmel monologue, and he mentions this ‘female weightlifter’ bit that trump does as a closer to his speeches and rallies, and shows a smash cut of trump groaning and pretending to lift invisible wieghts. As weird, but not overtly political things trump pulls from his bag of goofy schtick, it’s one of the most WT everloving F, surreal, disconcerting weird things I’ve seen trump do-- even worse than his dancing to YMCA. I had not even heard of this-- I guess because it’s way down on the list of outrageous things he says in his speeches. What is even the point of the story supposed to be? It starts at abotu 6:30 in case the ‘start from current time’ URL link does not work. Warning: extremely disturbing trump grunting and oddity, especially for first thing in the morning: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/QlbwuXQmfOE/maxresdefault.jpg "George Santos Kicked Out of Congress, Trump Ate “Too Much” After Jan 6th & a Very MAGA Christmas") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlbwuXQmfOE&t=390/) ---
