I'm waiting for the wingnuts to argue that all the people wearing masks are antibacterial disguised as protesters trying not to pass on the rona

"... that fake 'Antifa' Twitter post that actually came from a neo-Nazi group."

The use of the word "comrades" shoulda been the giveaway.

Just yesterday I was having a convo with an old white farmer here in the PNW and he told me how Soros pays these professional rioters to go around and loot, yada yada. I couldn’t tell him he was full of shit and needs to detox his brain, because I was at work. You gotta wonder how they can be so gullible and idiotic. Too much Fox Newz lies and propaganda; just another scam some elderly folks fall for.

Police Chief Winegar had no further comment, as he had to leave in order to pursue lawbreakers with "wim and wigor."

You beat me to the Twilight Zone reference. Life imitates art. I guess asking these loons to be culturally informed, even about an old TV show, is too much.

How do we know those two school buses aren't FEMA buses, eh?

As noted down thread...a lot of transplants to NorthIdahostan are immigrants from California. We live on a gravel road(maintained by the county...so it's a 'good' gravel road). 20 years ago there was hardly anybody out here...now we have traffic all day and a lot of CA ex-pats putting up houses to the east of us. And they are almost all cranky, conspiracy spreading, home schooling, xtian nut jobs. The absolute most hilarious moments of irony occur when they rant about 'socialism' whilst complaining that their SS or SSI check is late. Fuck 'em. New ones come here in late spring/early summer and about 1/4 will depart the following spring after they have encountered our winter. We applaude their departures.

Further thought, there's plenty of details here that would fit "organic" rumors, including sightings of "Men In Black" and equally elusive entities. The free supposition that "antifa" would pay for private buses, which under almost all circumstances would be more expensive, obtrusive and easier to trace than a more conventional vehicle, is an especially noteworthy twist, perhaps on par with distinctive P38 aircraft sometimes "seen" without independent explanation in the 1960s and 70s.

I don't seem to be getting any of my Soros checks. Am I the only one with that problem? I don't know how he expects me to buy weapons from China, overthrow Trump and re install Obama just with my own money. Geez.
