It appears there are a lot of people who believe the QAnon conspiracy theories. I need to know how many people need to believe in something to make it valid.
Oh yeah...that whole religion thing seems to be followed by a metric shit ton of people...therefore it must be true.

But what do you think about the whole comparison of Trump with other characters? Brian only got to Manson and Hitler, but it usually goes like this:
Do you think it's all silly or it has some merit?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

If his lawyers stick to that claim, they’ve got no grounds for change of venue, since they can’t claim overwhelming opposition to Trump. If they ask for change of venue because they claim that they can’t seat an impartial jury, it’s a tacit admission that the election WASN’T rigged, which is going to make their client very unhappy.

He really went that fucking far? Even when Tim Pool floated the possibility that Trump could win all 50 states, he considered that a long shot.
He really did. On the now infamous Georgia call.
