For my far-right readers, HuffPost has a report that titillates:
Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has been meeting with former President Donald Trump and “Cabinet members” about plans to “move forward in a real way,” he claimed in a Newsmax interview on Friday.
He refused to divulge the specifics of plans being discussed with Trump — whom he referred to as “the president” — at the former president’s Bedminster golf club in New Jersey.
Trump is “a president who is fully engaged, highly focused and remaining on task,” Meadows insisted.
“We met with several of our Cabinet members tonight, we actually had a follow-up … meeting with some of our Cabinet members, and … we’re looking at what does come next,” Meadows said.
Confirmation bias is the tendency to believe information that conforms to one’s beliefs and desires, and not attempt to confirm it. It’s an insidious, a-political mind rot that can affect anyone, from scientist to pastor.
As a service to my readers, here’s an experiment that you can perform to test the plausibility of the suggestion that the former President is not former but rather still the President:
If he was still the President, would he have permitted the nomination and confirmation of individuals favored by liberal groups to the Federal judiciary?
Keep in mind that every attempt to wiggle around this question marks you as an individual whose mental state is deteriorated and uncongruent with reality.
Once you’ve finished chewing on that question, consider the opposite conjecture: The conservatives are simply looking for one more grifter squeeze of the conservative base. Does that strike you as unlikely or likely?
