The QAnon shaman would also print a one-ounce gold coin, valued at $40 trillion, to pay off the country’s debts.

QAnon shaman sues Trump for $40 trillion

This is a man with a lot of enthusiasm for $40 trillion.

In the lengthy complaint, Chansley states that he is the “true” American president and that America should only have two laws: the Bill of Rights and the original U.S. Constitution.

In QAnon shaman dude's defense, if you figure that Trump is in the business of saying outrageous stuff as President to keep people focused on whatever he's saying rather than actual policy, this guy sounds like he might be better at it.

I'm a fan of his single $40 trillion dollar issue platform.

He's got my vote.

Also, I'm recruiting a team of specialists, no reason.

one section in the lawsuit suggests that plots for Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight and James Cameron’s Avatar were plagiarized from his own writing

Surely this?


Chansley states that... America should only have two laws: the Bill of Rights and the original U.S. Constitution.

In case you were wondering about his stance on enslaving people of colour or women's rights...


his 26-page complaint... is presented in a single paragraph.

I'm usually against capital punishment, but in this case...

It’s the art of the deal; you gotta start high so you have somewhere to go.

I may have misunderstood the assignment, dude. cough.

The good thing about the radical right being entirely made up of dipshits is that there will be plenty more infighting to come 🍿

He has named...the State of Israel... in court documents.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_immunity

The 1976 Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act generally bars suits against foreign governments, except in cases where state immunity is waived; in certain admiralty claims; or in claims involving commercial activity, a tort inside the United States involving death, personal injury, or damage to or loss of property (such as a traffic collision), or expropriation of property in violation of international law.

I thought they liked Trump.

[–] tal@olio.cafe 22 points 4 days ago (1 children)

According to the article, he did, but then Trump didn't release the Epstein files, so now he says that he doesn't like Trump.

Well he has a few brain cells with sense left.
