And what will happen? Didn't Q-Anon start fighting a supposed pedo ring in a pizza place? They'll totally turn on Trump now, right? Right?
Nah, they'll just do a little magical thinking on the case. Trump, despite all evidence to the contrary, is a godly man being smeared by a conspiracy. Clinton is evil incarnate. No need for conspiracies.
The weird thing is that trumpers think left leaning people will bend over backwards for Clinton like they do for trump, but if it's proven Clinton raped underage girls you can throw him into a volcano for all I care. But they will never turn on trump the same way.
Huh. I didn’t realize David Copperfield was still alive.
It's his greatest trick: shutting the fuck up. David Blaine will never understand.
I always think less of people who believe celebrities should just perform and keep their mouths shut on everything else.
Usually you think that way because the celebrity says things you don't like, or you're living vicariously through them and want them to make the same business decisions you would.
Or you might believe just because they're a great performer doesn't mean they have more expertise on a topic outside their area than the average Joe and is just as interesting. Yet, somehow people's opinion seems to matter more once they're in the spotlight.
Thinking celebrity's opinions immediately carry more weight than others is not the same as believing celebrities should not voice their opinions at all.
But it does carry more weight. If a celibrity voices an opinion it's almost guaranteed to become public.
That doesn't make it more valid though, it can still be bullshit. And that's why people may conclude it best, if performers focus on their area of expertise. I don't think less of people coming to that conclusion.
Ghislane Maxwell?!? How did she get tangled up in this? S/
Yeah, I saw that joke on Conan's podcast too.
Lol Conan has a podcast? I had no idea.
It's excellent.
Reminder that Prince Andrew's victim Virginia Giuffre was trafficked at Mar a Lago. Her father worked there and got her a job as a spa attendant at Mar a Lago, where she met Gishlaine Maxwell, who brought her to Epstein.
I am no Clinton apologist but the head of secret services said none of this ever happened.
