I've never heard of that "Clover Chronicle" website you cited, so I googled it. and mediabiasfactcheck.com lists Clover Chronicle as "EXTREME CONSERVATIVE," and the website is known to regularly peddlie unconfirmed conspiracy theories and propaganda. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/clove...ity-fake-news/
Yep. Clover Chronicle rates two flying saucers.

Judges at that level actually valuing their integrity and responsibilities to the law vs political whims and expediency - imagine that!

Can't rep you anymore.

It's crazy what crazy people will believe when it comes to making excuses for something that didn't go their way. In this case, a conservative judge isn't as far-right as they thought he was, so they're making up lies and fake news to explain his decisions.

And this Qnon idiocy. Of all the ridiculous conspiracy theories and hoaxes I've seen through the years, from "birtherism", moon landing hoax theory, pizzagate, bigfoot, UFOs, etc., etc., this Qnon business is the biggest pile of crap I've ever seen. And some people take this nonsense seriously like it's holy scripture carved in stone. Weird.

The irony that Roberts has turned out to be a thoughtful, non-rabid partisan...is hillarious.

Both the left and the right were caught up in pegging the guy into one of the two buckets their tiny brains can handle.

I can absolutely guarantee that you were all-in on him needing to be stopped and that he'd end Abortion and do a host of other Republican biddings so it's awesome to see you and the far right trade places.

Now if you could have only seen the Kavanaugh hit-job for what it was. But hey, speaking of seriously wacked out conspiracies...you had him convicted based on an accusation that was so absent of facts that the accused couldn't even craft an alibi if they had one.

As opposed to people that think a judge is far-right and make up lies and fake stories to oppose his confirmation?

I mean, wowzers...you tried to derail a confirmation over something that happened in an unknown location, no witnesses and at an unknown time. Couldn't even prove they'd ever met.....yet you sure gobbled up that but are now lecturing the RWNJ's?

Seems like you have an awful lot in common with the OP and Qanon.

I think folks need to understand why some folks fall for these Qanon nonsense. See....I LOVE conspiracy theories. Absolutely adore them. Because 1 in 100 are probably true, and its virtually impossible to know which ones. So while I can enjoy them from a what-if sort of view, I also know you have to be really careful not to suddenly believe you know that THIS ONE is the one thats true. Because thats insanity right? But you know what? If you have a friend that believes it...its someone you trust, and it pushes you from the "hmmm maybe"...into..."OMG whats going on?". Herd mentality and peer pressure push folks judgement into thinking this is the true conspiracy! the 1 in 100 is this one!


They're wrong of course. Its still 1 in 100. Maybe even worse then that for this one, but because its hard to predict these things I just sort of leave them all at 1 in 100 because it amuses me.


Conspiracy theories are fun. So is wrestling. The only real thing in wrestling is some of the amazing work to make it look semi real. But if you suddenly believe that either is actually real you've failed to act rationally.

Hey now, wrestling is more credible than most conspiracy theories.
