One of MAGAs finest is now spouting off on X that the "Deep State" has orchestrated the severe cold temperatures and blizzard that's hitting Iowa tomorrow just to prevent voters from casting their ballot for Trump...

But but it's Iowa. We've had Halloween canceled because of snow. I've seen plow drifts as tall as me. I had to abandon my car in my working parking lot one year because it wouldn't get through. DH had to get me in the truck. We dug it out the next day. Has it been THAT long since we had real snow here? Just...what? My brain hurts. And if liberals can control nature you'd think we'd have orchestrated a tornado to come and take Trump to Oz back in 2016. Why wait till now and make it a snow storm that can be cleared by these things called plows?

I heard these vehicles are being deployed to Iowa to transport Haley voters.

Here is a risk for Trump: polling has him well ahead. Some of his supporters might use that as a reason they don't need to go out in the storm. But if the storm is a liberal conspiracy to be thwarted, it must be confronted.

Oh my word! I guess the Deep State hates family reunions too, and Christmas, because we've had family gatherings messed up too due to blizzards in Iowa.

This is too long so Moon might want it chopped, but I feel like all of this person's interview needs to be there. This MAGA loves the stories Trump tells. How he is giving up his life to go to the WH for them (not the truth of he wants the adulation and the grifting opportunities) And I don't know what he says he has done. So I don't know what this particular groupie believes. But yet another one he says he never lies. www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/iowa-poll-shows-nikki-haley-leads-ron-desantis-in-iowa-caucuses-donald-trump-far-ahead/ar-AA1mVIE9?ocid=msedgntp&pc=DCTS&cvid=8d8fa26b41af4a6eac1426d94174f38e&ei=10Susanne Olson, a 58-year-old Des Moines resident and poll respondent, said she’s been to see Trump speak six or seven times and plans to caucus for him Monday.
“Oh my God, I'm like a groupie for Trump,” she said.
She’s heard Trump at his recent events making explicit appeals to Iowans to show up and caucus for him. Olson said she plans to caucus for the first time because of him.
“Trump has never lied to us one time,” she said. “Everything that man said he was going to do, he did. And I believe he cares about the people, because who would give up his life to try and fix this? You know, he does talk too much. Yeah, his mouth. OK, we understand that. But the man knows what he's doing. I trust him.”
She said she’s not worried about the weather or navigating the caucus process for the first time.
“Not at all,” she said. “I'll jump right in there. He did it. He jumped in there for us.”

Maybe Marjorie Taylor Greene could have some of those Jewish space lasers aimed at Iowa to melt the snow and warm the air to make it safe for the Iowans to caucus.

absolutely. the man lied to her constantly.
my favourite broken promise was the GDP promise. not only did he not produce 4-6% GDP growth, he did not even produce 1% in ANY quarter during his presidency. i don't know if that is a record or not, but i suspect it is. Obama had four quarters above 1% in (8) years, including two in his first term.
he was, however, a very good liar about his record, and continues to be.

The problem with these MAGA people is if they will believe a stupid conspiracy theory like this, there’s nothing too ridiculous to believe. All Trump and his henchmen have to do is cook up fairy tales to lead the MAGA flock around by their noses.
Poos sheep.

Yet try and get him to admit he was riding Obama’s fumes, which is more truthful. Especially in job growth.

Oh how soon we forget. Don't you know that was the deep state (aka the Dems) was fault. They were conspiring to steal the (then) upcoming election and in the process destroyed the employment rate. I expected more/better from you dj

All Trump and his henchmen have to do is cook up fairy tales to lead the MAGA flock around by their noses. Poos sheep. They want to believe the stories. They liked the story of how Jesus died for them until its been pointed out Jesus also took care of the poor and sick. So I think that's part of why the Trump as Savior story plays so well. It makes them feel better about themselves. instead of actually following Jesus Christ. Trump is a rich selfish businessman that somehow has decided to save the good upstanding conservatives. He does not like the poor and the sick, so he ignores them and that fits in with the bootstrap lie that most of these MAGAs believe. If its good, they obviously boot strapped their way up. But if it's bad, it's obviously the fault of those people. Those people change on time and era. When Italians and the Irish were seen by some as immigrant invaders. Now its hate of brown people and perhaps Jews and blacks. And of course, uppity women and people who wanted to be treated well regardless of their sexual orientation. They have big problems Trump tells the MAGA faithful, so I guess that feeds into an ever-expanding list of enemies. So, I guess MAGAs are the biggest consumers of fiction. They like the idea of a power mad rich white guy charging through Washington on their behalf. Some like it so much, they even support the author when it was pointed out his donation website(s) charged them more than they signed up for. I guess for some the feels of believing the Wall will protect them or saving the rich white (fake) Savior is so good; they will pay from their wallets like addicts.

Trump's embrace of far-right activist Laura Loomer worries his alliesWhen Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis entered a hotel in Iowa on Friday, he was immediately ambushed by a woman who peppered him with questions about when he would “drop out” of the race and whether he’s “already wasted enough of people’s money” as she followed him with a camera. Afterward, the encounter found its way to social media. The woman — far-right social media influencer Laura Loomer — cut a scene in which she said DeSantis “looked petrified,” adding she believed “his soul left his body when he saw me.” “He’s going to lose,” Loomer, a twice-failed congressional candidate and self-described “proud Islamophobe” said in a clip filmed outside the hotel. “President Trump is going to kick his a-- on Monday, Jan. 15. And that’s it for Ron. You killed your political career and I hope you’re happy. You just got Loomered, b----.” Perhaps more notable than the encounter, though, was which of Loomer’s biggest fans quickly promoted it on social media; former President Donald Trump plugged the video on his Truth Social account on Saturday. It was just the latest in a series of promotions and praise Trump has offered Loomer during the campaign, and it has some allies and advisers worried that he’s giving a figure they see as a fringe, far-right activist too close of an embrace — one that could come back to bite him during a general election campaign. “Everyone who works for him thinks she’s a liability,” one Trump ally said. Earlier this month, Loomer, who has promoted conspiracy theories about the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and several mass shootings, rode with Trump aboard his plane on a trip to Iowa, and she has suggested she would like to serve as Trump’s press secretary during a second term.

Of course not, because to admit that would be to realize the economic choices he made during the pandemic might not have been the right ones. We know that the government needs to spend during the bad times and save during the good. It is counter-intuitive to some. So Trump tried to keep the economy moving during the beginning of the pandemic and then shifted importance to his own survival quickly. It was then he no longer cared about anyone else except for perhaps Jared and his fave daughter who were shoring him up. Even with whatever Wharton school training he did take, I doubt it occurred to him to manage the pandemic economy for success towards the end of his term. Because he obviously thought of winning another term when it was clear he was not going to win consecutive ones. But he is a Marketer, and he thinks he can market his way out of anything. Its worked for him pretty well before the Presidency. Losing all the election cases because it was all marketing bluster shows his usual all hat not cattle aspect.

Anyone, no matter how extreme a lunatic, who says nice things about him he will compliment and repost their tweets. No matter how racist, homophobic, sexist or just plain stupid they are. Loomer was the one who claimed the military made Iowa really cold to discourage Trump voters from coming out to vote. I rolled my eyes so much I saw the back of my skull. Hard to imagine someone that stupid still manages to walk upright.

Like anyone/group/entity that could control weather like that would need to interfere in an election to gain power!
But - I really appreciate the hilarity of it! That this is being proposed as part of reality? If it was in a TV show you'd laugh your arse off and say no one could be so stupid!
But then we have the flat earthers going on so........
I just wonder if people are deliberately starting these kinds of 'movements' as jokes?
A very sad statement on human intelligence, for sure!
