    Well if the White House said it it must be true.

    Why are there no pictures of Torrio meeting with Trump?

    lol...To be honest, I used to consider myself a Republican but not for a few years now...but I didn't leave the GOP, they left me.

    This story about about the proud boys' leader being invited and meeting with Trump just doesn't make sense to me...if Torrio said it, it must be true.

    ...call me skeptical.

    1. He could have met with a racist piece of shit like Stephen Miller.

    2. Secret Service could have told him no pictures.

    or worse. They agreed no more public sparks. The time to make noise is not now. Its jan 20th.
    And then proceeded to carve out some dictorial overthrow, combining their forces both on the streets and within the government, to forcibly maintain white house control.

    bit conspiracy theory, but would you put it past either one of these two?

    I would be impressed if Meal Team Six could keep a secret until Jan 20th.

    ...or, it could be a fabricated story designed to stir shit up. And if that's the case, it seems to be working.

    i suppose it depends on the extent of how much they stuff their faces with plans in the back room, vs sitting and starving in anticipation to the point, that if they cant open their mouth to eat, then they will open it to speak.

    also plausible. But that may also be part of thier plan.
    Misdirection.
    Make the left concerned and do something so then they look like they are defending themselves...

    The Secret Service background checks everyone who visits the White House. I doubt this chucklefuck would have been given approval without someone in the administration okaying it.

    I dont know if quara should be trusted.

    but my thought is if they are, why would a progressive paper downplay it? I would think they would be propping it as something concerning over dismissing it and just calling him a liar?

    so hard to know what to trust online.

    They have to keep this secret. If its true, they are planning treason against this country. If that goes public....

    Why would bank robbers announce they are meeting to plan to rob a bank?

    Conspiracy theories typically end up being "nothing burgers"...and I believe that's what this is...if I'm wrong, I'll gladly acknowledge it.

    Does anyone really believe Trump/Torrio are conspiring to overthrow the government?...I seriously doubt that Trump specifically "invited" anyone.

    No.

    Do I think Trump or one of his minions would ask the Proud Boys to be assholes and start shit during the inauguration?

    Yes.

    Honestly?

    50/50.

    id like to think im wrong but i really just dont know. Everything is so static and cutthroat.
    So many facets out there willing to use threats and violence as a means to push or uphold a political or domestic ideal.

    and this goes for both ends of the political spectrum.

    debate and the work of stateman has all but been abolished in favor of hardline stances. And political threats of violent transitions.

    even if its just messing with or try to stir shit up at inauguration, that could be the ignition to start the fire of chaos.

    Not paranoia. Simply discussing the options as to why he is there and what is true vs not, about the reporting of it all.


    One could take an alternate stance and say, to think nothing is going on and its paranoia is being blind aNd basically supporting the ties our leader has with those who lead Controversial fringe groups that tend to instigate violence to push thier political agenda.
