How many of today's posts have cited anonymous source? "...Trump's team..." said no Patriot Party and "Trump's reported hit list..." When has DJT ever been afraid to speak his own mind? Never is the answer.
Anonymous sources cannot be trusted. And, their blather distracts us from what should be our mission, to organize the resistance.

I guess the dilemma for that group of people is:
Who do you trust more, DJT or anonymous sources?
What? "... if it just sounds really cool to them." Believe me, I get what you're writing but just don't think blather is cool. Satire, irony, absurdity... yeah, I get that but not counter productive chatter that countermand's the first rule of this site ... Trump, Trump, Trump.
Posting anonymous chatter purporting to be Trump just dilutes Trump's voice.
In the times within which we find ourselves fantasy is unbelievably dangerous.
And, there is a big difference between hope and fantasy.
Gotcha, Killmealready. Yup, it's easy to see that there are many brainiacs here.
I'll share a real life analogy to explain my frustration. Do you know who Forrest Fenn was? He was a man who led thousands around by their shovels looking for his buried treasure using a sophomorically written poem as the treasure map.
Acting on his own boredom he lured (some might more generously suggest that he enticed) smart people, who also had inherent addictive and obsessive compulsive tendencies, into his buried treasure fantasy. People spent years and $ they didn't have chasing the fantasy. Marriages were destroyed, searchers were seriously injured, and yes there was even a fatality. Someone did finally find it a couple of years ago a decade after Forrest announced the treasure in a book that he wrote. Forrest passed away a short time after it was found. The timing of which suggested that it may have been his hunt that kept him going well into his golden years. Forrest passed away in Sept. 2020, three short months after his treasure was found.
I first met Forrest about 25 years ago. He was a very big personality, who, in my assessment, was lost in the restlessness of his own success and retirement. He was also bat shiite crazy, in my honest opinion. While he could be very charming, he was also pushy, controlling, annoying, and unrelenting. He was financially well off after a career in art sales and then the sale of his highly successful gallery in Santa Fe. Once retired he no longer had a stage for his grandiose verbosity, which drove him even nuttier. That's when he came up with the buried treasure plot. He remained actively engaged in the hunt including regular updates about the heartache that it caused, and even refused to shut it down after a treasure hunter died pursuing the fantasy.
Seeing some of the stuff on this site is painfully reminiscent of the mind set of Forrest's hunters. While I generally wish all well with their chosen hobbies, in the case of the pervasive distractions presented here I believe the lack of focus IS WHAT allows the swamp to act without impunity. It renders WeThePeople focused on chasing fantasies instead of developing a cohesive plan to save our beloved nation.
