Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-VA), who came to Congress perhaps best known as an author of Bigfoot erotica, is sending a message condemning a less recreational conspiracy theory on his way out.
I’ll take Bigfoot over Q any day. One is mainly known for big feet, excess body hair, and shyness. The other is known for being batshit crazy.
QAnon: “the mental gonorrhea of conspiracy theories.”
With a companion case of tertiary syphilis.
He’s just going deep cover. Working with Bigfoot to support Littlehands.
“Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-VA), who came to Congress perhaps best known as an author of Bigfoot erotica…”
Jerry Falwell Jr: “Call me.”
What. A. Headline.
Trumpism is not sustainable in the United States. At some point this will be reflected in our public discourse.
The RNC Debacle this week will hasten that.
And what a photo!
Either he’s a raging alcoholic or he just happened to be sitting next to the end table in his office. Where visitors can help themselves. And borrow his monogrammed swizzle sticks. Are those ice cubes in his pockets?
The caption under the photograph at the top of the article says that it was taken in his office in Washington. He has a nice little bar set up in his office I see.
Priorities!
Riggleman has spoken out against QAnon before, colorfully calling it
but fascinating how Riggleman’s audacity in criticising QAnon - immediately caused him to incur the sharp furious snarky rath of:
Michael McAdams, national press secretary for the National Republican Congressional Committee
and a favorite of the One America News Network, and apparently a voice that will stridently not stand for disparagement of the QAnon lunacy
Isn’t she part of the cast of the “Housewives of Dementia”
Maybe someday, some day, we’ll get GOTPers who have balls while not lame ducks.
QAnon is a re-tread of the 1930’s German anti-jewish propaganda campaigns that painted “The Enemy” (Jews, Roma, Homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Germans viewed as genetically inferior and harmful to “national health” (people with mental illness and intellectual or physical disabilities, epileptics, congenitally deaf and blind persons, chronic alcoholics, drug users, and others)) as cannibalistic, sexually-perverted, secret cabals controlling the state via “secret meetings at night” and decrying them as “enemies of the State!” and “Less than Human Scum!”.
To encourage otherwise civilized people to allow the killing of “the enemy” with impunity and disdain, you must first de-humanize them to the point of “not deserving life” and then, as detailed in “Mein Kampf” you must blame them for EVERYTHING, EVERY TIME, OVER and OVER and OVER until it “becomes the Truth” to the ignorant masses.
This is what the entire QAnon “movement” is, as directed by Russian Intelligence in their ongoing psy-ops campaign to destabilize the US, and it’s working.
Ignorant, frightened people are highly susceptible to these kinds of conspiracy cults (and it is a Cult) because it absolves them a ALL RESPONSIBILITY for their lot in life. It empowers them to take all of their self-loathing, second-guessing, and self-flagellation for their bad life-decisions and project it onto “The Other” instead, freeing them from all future responsibility for their lives and then putting their entire future into the hands of the “Messiah Figure” (in this case Donald J. Trump.)
As Cult Members, they are perfectly willing to KILL YOU if you challenge their cultist ideas as they perceive it as a direct assault upon their person and will do and say anything to protect their egos.
We have seen this time and time again, from the Jonestown “Peoples Temple” believers to the Waco Branch Davidians to the ammo-sexuals/Patriot Movement nutjobs who take over public lands.
In each case, they are “Rebels without a Clue” who desperately want to be HEROS and BELONG to something bigger than their little lives, but don’t have the faintest idea how, or where to do so, and thus are easily exploited by Grifters and Con-Men and False Messiahs who convince them that THEY are the “chosen ones” and everyone else is “The Enemy”.
In this impersonal, digital, rapidly changing, highly de-humanizing world, don’t underestimate the power of COMMUNITY, no matter how toxic, to lonely, frightened, confused people desperate for some kind of life-boat in the crashing seas of reality. They see false messiahs like Trump as “beacons of Light” in the storm-tossed seas of constant change and will do just about ANYTHING for him, and all he has to do is promise “salvation” to them, which as a Con-Man, is easy for him to do. Once he has a grip on them, they will forgive him ANYTHING to maintain that sense of BELONGING.
Can’t they call these people effing idiots also? I mean, how stupid are these claims? They’re just moronically stupid, and we need to call it that way. If someone starts telling me that stuff I’m just going to tell them that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. That makes no sense dude, please stop and listen to what you’re saying, okay?
His business is s distillery, and yes, he always looks like that.
Aside from the brazen lack of sense of shame, Guilfoyle deeply insulted boricuas, making the implication that they are not citizens.
That would have been news to the people I was in Basic with.
As well as the family members of those who died in Nam and wars before and after.
One wonders if her own Puerto Rican mother was equally offended.
