        Jan 6th was an actual conspiracy, with people conspiring and everything.

        It wasn’t a conspiracy theory, as in fictional bullshit.

        Jan 6th was a conspiracy. Notice all those Trump hats? Antifa in disguise. Surely no Republican that came directly from a Trump rally walked down the street to the capitol.

          Got it one, yes.

          The comment was “is there anything that isn’t a conspiracy….”

          They don’t believe jan6 was a conspiracy. It absolutely was, by they don’t see it that way.

            Well I thought they did believe it was a conspiracy by Antifa to make it look like Republicans did it. Which isn’t true.

          no, actually it kind of is.

          You see, they believe there was a conspiracy to steal the election.

          They don’t recognize that trump was the one leading the conspiracy. therefore, the Jan 6 insurrection wasn’t a conspiracy (in the sense that it was somehow justified, or acceptable.)

    Eggs are obviously woke. Look at how early roosters wake everyone up, especially the chickens that lay the eggs.

      Their entire raison d’etre is to sell eggs. They can’t NOT respond to something that potentially jeopardizes egg sales.

      I’m of course talking about the White House here.

    So Trump criticizes Biden for following a rule that he himself also followed. Fox seizes opportunity to create a false narrative, and their craven supporters latch on immediately, without question.

    The GOP got on Obama after they saw a picture of him with his feet up on the Oval Office desk. They were SHOCKED when pictures came out of almost every other President in the same pose.

    They got on Obama for having rappers come to the White House, because rap is ‘criminal music.’ The were SHOCKED when someone showed them a movie where ronald reagan was an organized crime boss. [The Killers, with Lee Marvin, great movie]

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    On Monday, thousands of children and their families will gather on the White House South Lawn for the annual Egg Roll, an Easter tradition that dates back to the nineteenth century.

    The Fox News article and subsequent reaction prompted Elizabeth Alexander, Communications Director for First Lady Jill Biden, to explain the rule had been in place for 45 years.

    Then, the American Egg Board — an organisation that helps facilitate the event — had to make their own statement clarifying the rule had been enforced by previous presidents.

    Despite this, Representative Elise Stefanik, Chair of the House Republican Conference and long-time ally to Mr Trump, shared a screenshot of the article on X.

    Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, called for an apology while describing the president’s declaration as “appalling,” The Independent previously reported.

    Benedict’s death, which was ruled a suicide, has already become a rallying cry for LGBTQ rights as trans and queer youth continue to face attacks, The Independent previously reported.


    The original article contains 633 words, the summary contains 167 words. Saved 74%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

      Bad bot

      The relevant paragraph

      But this year’s celebrations have been marred as Republican politicians and commentators falsely accused President Joe Biden’s administration of banning religious themes and symbols from the celebration’s art contest — failing to note that the policy has been in place during every administration for almost 50 years.
