Grifters gonna grift.

Trump's D.C. hotel nearly triples its rates for his 'second inauguration' on March 4

If you had any doubt that the Trump presidency was just an elaborate four-year grift, this story should dispel your quaint Pollyannish notions.

Because their brains are the functional equivalent of an ‘80s-era Texas Instruments calculator that has not yet learned how to spell “boobs,” the world’s daffiest fucks (aka Trump’s most ardent MAGAs) still think he’s going to serve a second term.

That means—duh!—there will have to be a second Trump inauguration.

And because of something called the “sovereign citizens movement,” they think that blessed day is coming on March 4 because … ah, who the fuck cares? Explaining the theory would be like faxing y’all the specs for the perpetual-motion taffy-pulling machine/Easy-Bake Oven I invented last night while snorting crushed Apple Jacks in an Ambien/turpentine fugue.

... Business Insider:

"QAnon's most dedicated followers still believe that former President Donald Trump, who lost the 2020 presidential election, is yet to be sworn in.

"March 4, 2021 is a day they have marked in their diaries, insisting that is the date when Trump will be inaugurated in Washington, DC, and, ultimately, return to power.

"Coincidentally, Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC is hiking up the prices of suites around that period. The hotel, just blocks away from the White House, has almost tripled the rates for some rooms on the nights of March 3 and 4, according to Forbes."

... Oh, and just before the Capitol coup attempt—when MAGAs alighted on D.C. like flies on a shitty president—the Trump International raised its rates through the roof. According to Forbes, the cheapest room available the night of the insurrection was ,000.

#biden #pedoJoe

sharing to ask all the #lefties what they actually meant by "unity":

---

It’s over everyone, you can sleep easy again - the party of #peace, #tolerance, and #reconciliation is back in #power. #Amen. And #Awomen.
They claim they want to #heal and #unify the nation.
But clearly the only way to do so is to create enemies lists and #silence anyone with #dissenting #opinions.
For example, Rep. Alexandria #Ocasio-Cortez asked,

“Is anyone archiving these #Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their #complicity in the future?”

Robert #Reich, Labor Secretary under #Clinton, and adviser to #Obama, Tweeted,

“When this nightmare is over, we need a #Truth and #Reconciliation Commission [to]name every official, #politician, #executive and media mogul whose greed and cowardice enabled this catastrophe.”

Chris #Hayes, an #MSNBC host agreed saying,

“The most #humane and #reasonable way to deal with all these people, if we survive this, is some kind of truth and reconciliation commission.”

And Dick #Costolo, the former #CEO of #Twitter, said,

“Me-first capitalists … are going to be the first people lined up against the wall and shot in the #revolution. I’ll happily provide video commentary.”

Clearly social media companies like Twitter are a big part of the efforts to unify the nation.

Twitter deleted 70,000 accounts using the trespassing of the #Capitol as an excuse.

#Amazon Web Services removed the alternative social media site #Parler from its servers, while #Apple and #Google deleted Parler from their app stores.

#Facebook and #Reddit joined the purge, feverishly removing content that they don’t want their users to see.

#Stripe, #PayPal, and #Visa announced they would stop processing payments to certain politicians and non-profits

guilty of #thought #crimes.

Yesterday I read in the completely fair and objective media that simply acknowleding this tech purge makes one a #conspiracy #theorist.

#Axios news wrote a segment titled, Right wing’s new conspiracy: “The silencing”.

They went on to say that only crazy conspiracy theorists believe that there are efforts to #silence #conservative voices.

In other words, if you believe what you can see with your own eyes, you’re a conspiracy theorist.

Most recently, for example, #Harvard has purged #Congresswoman Elise #Stefanik from its advisory board.

Stefanik’s crime? She publicly questioned #voting #irregularities in the 2020 #election.

Now, some people may think that she’s a terrible person because of her beliefs. And in fairness it’s Harvard’s right to choose whoever they want for their board.

But now there’s a petition from the woke Harvard #mob to #revoke her degree, effectively erasing her existence from the institution.

They want to #cancel her. Yet even merely acknowledging that this is happening now makes you a conspiracy theorist according to the media.

The left’s cries of “ #de-fund the police” have turned to “fund the #secret #police,” as lawmakers reintroduce “domestic terror” bills to create new units under the Department of Homeland Security to monitor American “ #extremism”.

But the #assassinatetrump and #killtrump hashtags that Twitter has allowed since 2016— that’s totally fine free speech!

During the summer #BLM riots, #looting #Target stores and burning down police stations were acts of #courage.

They even literally declared an independent #autonomous #zone and took over government buildings. Yet no one in the media ever used the words #insurrection, #sedition, or #treason.

#AOC praised these mostly peaceful protests and said the entire point of them is “to make people feel uncomfortable.”

But if you feel the slightest bit uncomfortable that 25,000 troops are in the nation’s capital, along with tanks and attack helicopters, then you’re a (you guessed it!) conspiracy theorist.

Remember, though, #ignorance is #strength, so we should probably just #obey the experts.

Trust in Social Security to provide retirement. Trust the Federal Reserve to improve the economy. Trust the media to tell the truth. Trust that the tech companies will continue to allow your free speech.

Or… as an alternative… make your own Plan B.

Build Back Bitter

It’s over everyone, you can sleep easy again - the party of peace, tolerance, and reconciliation is back in power...
