Trump May Have Just Used A Coded Message As A Signal To Conspiracy Theorists For His Tuesday Arraignment

In a posting on his Truth Social platform today, failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump went off on an all-caps rant that a reporter on religious extremism says should be of great concern as the disgraced ex-president faces arraignment Tuesday on federal criminal charges for mishandling classified information.

The post from Trump which was shared earlier this afternoon reads:

NOW THAT THE “SEAL” IS BROKEN, IN ADDITION TO CLOSING THE BORDER & REMOVING ALL OF THE “CRIMINAL” ELEMENTS THAT HAVE ILLEGALLY INVADED OUR COUNTRY, MAKING AMERICA ENERGY INDEPENDENT, & EVEN DOMINANT AGAIN, & IMMEDIATELY ENDING THE WAR BETWEEN RUSSIA & UKRAINE, I WILL APPOINT A REAL SPECIAL “PROSECUTOR” TO GO AFTER THE MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE USA, JOE BIDEN, THE ENTIRE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY, & ALL OTHERS INVOLVED WITH THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR ELECTIONS, BORDERS, & COUNTRY ITSELF!

Be sure and note mention of the “seal” being broken, religion reporter and extremism expert Jeff Sharlet warns. It has special significance to those in the QAnon conspiracy movement and other right-wing religious extremists.

Sharlet explained his concerns on Twitter.

“QAnon & many fundamentalists will read this—& I don’t think it’s a stretch to imagine Trump’s people are aware of that—as both the indictment & 7th seal of Revelation, the opening of which heralds the second coming of Christ.”

“This, combined with Saturday’s claim that World War III ‘WILL’ occur if he’s not back, & that he is the ‘only one’ who can stop the obliteration of the world, are claims to divinity.”

“As I write in THE UNDERTOW, Trumpism’s a kind of bastardized American gnosticism, an ecstatic doomsday/utopian faith in secrets & ‘strength.’ Some QAnon followers make the gnostic connection explicit. Here’s some of the most famous gnostic text, ‘The Thunder, Perfect Mind’:

For those who have read the Book of Revelation, those lines have the echo of “I am the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” (Revelation 22:13).

Revelation was David Koresh’s favorite book of the Bible. It was also big with Charles Manson. In other words, it’s a favorite source of dark inspiration for terrorists and mass murderers.

Let’s hope security is airtight tomorrow in Miami when Trump shows up to be arraigned.

MAGA Faithful Cry Bitter Tears Over Trump’s Indictment: ‘The JFK Assassination All Over Again’

As had been expected for some time now, failed former president Donald Trump was indicted Thursday on multiple counts connected to his mishandling of classified documents and obstructing justice.

NBC News reports:

Trump said Thursday night that his attorneys were informed that he has been indicted in the special counsel’s investigation into his handling of classified documents. Two sources familiar with the matter confirmed the indictment, one adding that Trump had received a summons to appear in U.S. District Court on Tuesday.

In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump said: “The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys that I have been Indicted, seemingly over the Boxes Hoax.”

As you’d expect, the pro-Trump MAGA faithful went into full apocalyptic meltdown mode, whining and weeping on social media as they proved their own ignorance of the case and their blind devotion to a man who has been engaged in criminal behavior his entire life.

Social Media Calls BS On Fox Host’s Claim She Was Told To Leave A Restaurant For Praying Over Her Food

For years now, Fox “News” has suggested that there’s a war on Christians, Christianity, and the Christmas holiday, though the “proof” they usually supply to support such claims is tissue thin and downright laughable.

Such is the case with something Fox host Harris Faulkner said while hosting “Fox News Tonight” on Monday.

Faulkner told viewers, “For those of us who believe, we must be bold in our faith right now. When you gather in public spaces, pray thankfully over your food — even when the server gives you the stink eye or tells the manager that your peaceful grace is triggering them.”

She added, “I had it happen to me. I’ve been asked to leave a restaurant for openly bowing my head in prayer hands — in America. It’s all good. They don’t deserve my money anyway.”

Did that really happen? Hard to tell, especially since Fox is known to traffic in lies and conspiracy theories. That’s why they recently had to pay $787.5 million to Dominion Voting Systems for repeatedly lying about the 2020 election, which some of its hosts insisted was “stolen” from failed former president Donald Trump, despite there being no evidence to support such a claim.

Twitter users weren’t buying what Faulkner was selling.

Twitter Users Point And Laugh When Trump Shows Up With Hair Horns And A Bad Makeup Job

It’s so damn easy to make fun of failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump. Especially when he provides all the material needed to mock and ridicule him.

It’s also easy to make fun of Trump because he’s a walking dichotomy.

He’s ignorant but pompous. Vain but somewhat slovenly. Rich but with hints of pure white trashiness.

So when he showed up in Iowa as part of the 2024 race for the White House, it was a big media event. And therein lies the problem for Donald.

He probably wanted to look his best for the good people of Iowa, but he only managed to look like a complete fool.

That brings us to this video from Friday, which was shared on Twitter by Ron Filipkowski:

Be sure and notice (how could you not?!) the hair horns he’s sporting, along with the orange makeup, which looks like it was applied with a damn trowel. It’s downright embarrassing, and you’d think he’d be ashamed to show himself in public looking like a damn clown, but as we learned some time ago, the man has no shame and will do absolutely anything for attention because he’s a malignant narcissist.

Twitter certainly noticed, and the mockery was absolutely delicious.

Kari Lake Owns Herself With The Choice Of Her Entrance Music At An Arizona Rally

Perennial loser/endless candidate Kari Lake held one of her “I was robbed” rallies this week in Scottsdale, Arizona, and the entire affair was little more than a reiteration of her whining about how the 2022 gubernatorial election was stolen from her, despite the fact that she’s yet to produce a shred of credible evidence to prove such an allegation.

But as Laurie Roberts of The Arizona Republic notes, it was Lake’s choice of entry music that caught her attention.

It was her entrance music that was hysterical.

“American Woman.”

The song, which was originally recorded by the Guess Who in 1970, was meant as a tribute to Canadian women because the band was from Canada, as lead singer Burton Cummings explained in 2014:

“What was on my mind was that girls in the States seemed to get older quicker than our girls and that made them, well, dangerous. When I said ‘American woman, stay away from me,’ I really meant ‘Canadian woman, I prefer you.’”

The version played at Lake’s Scottsdale rally was a remake from Lenny Kravitz, but the words were the same, and it’s quite clear that Lake or whoever chose the song didn’t bother to listen or understand the lyrics.

“American woman, stay away from me.”

“Don’t come hanging around my door/I don’t want to see your face no more/I got more important things to do/Than spend my time growing old with you.”

However, in the case of Ms. Lake, the lyrics could easily be tweaked to read, “Kari Lake/Stay away from me.”

Yes, please stay the hell away from us, Kari. We’re tired of your bullshit. You lost. Deal with it and move on already.

If that’s not the most spectacular self-own of 2023, then it’s certainly got to be in the Top 3.

Social media laid the mockery and ridicule on thick.
