Trump's DC hotel is hiking prices for March 4 -- the day QAnon followers think he will be sworn in

[634-5789]

QAnon's most dedicated followers still believe that former President Donald Trump, who lost the 2020 presidential election, is yet to be sworn in.

March 4, 2021 is a day they have marked in their diaries, insisting that is the date when Trump will be inaugurated in Washington, DC, and, ultimately, return to power.

Coincidentally, Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC is hiking up the prices of suites around that period. The hotel, just blocks away from the White House, has almost tripled the rates for some rooms on the nights of March 3 and 4, according to Forbes.

3. Fatfuck von Bodybag's greed is one thing...

But the level of gullibility of these Q-MagaMorons is off the charts!

4. These fools think he's going to be sworn in.............as what?

He is not president now.

6. You don't know your conspiracy theories

Sovereign citizen ideology holds that every amendment after the 10th is invalid. There is a lot of cross-pollination between SCs and the QAnon bunch. Anyway, the theory here is that since January 20 was set as Inauguration Day by an amendment past the 10th, Biden taking his oath on that date has disqualified him from being president and, therefore, Trump is still president.

We won't tell them the part about how in 2017, Trump swore his own oath on January 20 and therefore, by their calculus, was not actually president from 2017 to 2021.

7. Ah,you're right! I didn't know about that little wrinkle.

Thanks for updating me!



I love your post script!

9. Very interesting!

Thanks for the info! I'll have to read up on this Sovereign Citizen thing, as its completely new to me.

I learn something new every day here at DU. Usually more than one something.

16. I sure don't! Just looked SC up. In 1871 a secret law made

the U.S. a corporation belonging to London? I've read about a bunch of them, but my eyes cross even thinking of trying to keep track of this stuff.

Seriously, how is it that this degree of irrationality has not been designated a diagnosable mental disorder?

17. You missed a better one

Because lawyers use the title Esquire (for reasons known to them), they are officers of the British Crown. Also, the word "Bar" (as in Bar Association, State Bar and other lawyers' groups) really means British Accredited Registry.

Worse, you can't talk these people out of this nonsense.

Even more fun is the Right to Travel nonsense. You can find it on sites like https://wearechange.org/u-s-supreme-court-says-no-license-necessary-to-drive-automobile-on-public-highwaysstreets/

Apparently, according to sovereign citizens, the Supreme Court has ruled that you don't need a driver's license. The first case they always quote is Thompson v. Smith, a 1930s-era Virginia Supreme Court case. None of them have ever actually read Thompson, because the sentence after the one they quote says the state has the right to require drivers to be licensed. This whole BS list of cases was written by one Rodney Skurdal, menial laborer (seriously...he works as a "general laborer" in a junkyard) and Montana Freeman. What happens when Mr. Skurdal actually tried his schtick?

"It is a proper exercise of the State's police power to require a valid driver's license...appellant's assertion that the right to travel encompasses the unrestrained use of the highway is wrong."

19. I sure did. Thanks. That appellate decision

had me chuckling as I imagined what made them finally decide to take this up. Since the internet, legal systems must have been bombarded by its ability to bring together and educate large numbers of people on "alternative" rights and realities.

I'm also really wondering about the reasonableness of the reasonable person standard to hold individuals to. There seem to be far more who've become incapable of meeting it than I ever realized.

5. this could be comedy gold....

13. Unlikely, considering the last time they came to town to "save" the country. nt

[dhill926]

14. well...I really expect only about 5 people showing up for this...

8. Most like to cover expected damages incurred by the cultists who get loaded

when another one of their prophecy's goes *pop*.

[thinkingagain]

10. Well the world was suppose to end

Dec. 21, 2012 Mayan calendar
Harold Camping Said it would end October 21, 2011. he also predicted that on May 21, 2011, at precisely 6:00 p.m., God's elect people would be assumed into heaven, in an event he called the Rapture. Those who were not raptured, he said, would have to remain on Earth to wait for their doom five months later. According to media reports, some of his followers quit their jobs, sold their homes, and invested large amounts of money in publicizing Camping's predictions. When the Rapture did not occur, Camping re-evaluated his predictions saying that the event would take place simultaneously with the end of the world. After October 21, 2011, the self-proclaimed prophet stated that “nobody could know exactly when the time of the apocalypse would come.”

Many other predictions are out there. That have come to not.
I think that this will go that route leaving many disappointed and many making $$$ off of those who chose to believe in the false “Tgod”

What would make my day if on March 4 in stad of being sworn in as their president. He is entered into the prison records. On live tv.
