EuphoricVibez 9 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 President Donald Trump has been known to dabble in conspiracy theories — be it that Barack Obama was secretly born in Kenya, that global warming is a hoax created by China, or that Bill and/or Hillary Clinton had child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein murdered in prison. But his latest whopper — that his political opponent, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, is secretly being controlled by a roving band of black-clad violent extremists who like to fly on commercial airlines — is more than just another conspiracy theory. It’s also disturbingly reminiscent of a disinformation tactic commonly deployed by dictators around the world to discredit legitimate political opposition. On Monday, Trump told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham a wild story he’d heard about a supposed plane full of “thugs” who had traveled together on a commercial flight to an unnamed American city to stage protests during the Republican National Convention. These same thugs, in Trump’s telling, are secretly pulling Biden’s strings from the “dark shadows.” These are “people that you’ve never heard of, people that are in the dark shadows,” Trump said. “They’re people that are on the streets. They’re people that are controlling the streets. We had somebody get on a plane from a certain city this weekend, and in the plane it was almost completely loaded with thugs wearing these dark uniforms, black uniforms with gear and this and that.” The president wouldn’t offer any more specifics because he said the whole incident is under investigation — another claim for which there’s no public evidence — but added “a lot of people were on the plane to do big damage.” https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/2020/9/1/21410203/trump-fox-news-laura-ingraham-plane-thugs-biden He/him/his Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 So now the people in the black uniform gear who have been seen starting riots work for Biden? Why? I like when someone farts and blames it on the person next to him or her.

StarstruckIllusion 53,580 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Two terms of Obama (really neoliberalism, from the Clintons) created this. This upcoming third Obama term with Biden terrifies me for the republican response in 2024. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
