It almost makes me retch every time this idiot is brought up. The fact that he is associated with shamanism is too much.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

Bizarrely, one section in the lawsuit suggests that plots for... James Cameron’s Avatar were plagiarized from his own writing.

Qanon Shaman wrote Fern Gully?

In his 26-page complaint, he has claimed that an elite group has launched a conspiracy to violate the Constitution. The entire complaint, which is more akin to a manifesto than a formal legal document, is presented in a single paragraph.

He has named Trump, the Federal Reserve, the National Security Agency, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the State of Israel, Elon Musk’s X-Corp, T-Mobile, and Warner Bros. Studios in court documents.

The people I tried to coup the country to put into power are secretly trying to violate the constitution to take over the country.

However, Chansley rescinded his support for Trump because the president refused to release the Epstein files.

Heh. Where's that person to spam the picture when you need them?

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I love how he tossed t-mobile in there. "...my aunt Gladys, the guy who parks too close to my driveway, that kid who rides his bike on the sidewalk, the King of Spain, Papa Johns..."

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Papa Johns

Who was an actual piece of racist shit BTW, I would love to see him thrown into the mix.

Just say their name three times.

Not them but

Just let that sink in.

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago

Small potatoes in this pile of insanity but I don't think "conspiracy to violate the constitution" is a valid cause of action so I'm guessing this will be summarily dismissed? Lol

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

26 pages in a single paragraph: perfect way to piss off my old English teacher

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 day ago

Paragraphs are woke.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 66 points 1 day ago (2 children)

y'all, i'm starting to think this guy might be a real weirdo

Top tip: if your doctor enters the exam room with face paint and buffalo horns, get a second opinion.

if you can't trust a seditious guy violating the flag code wearing a buffalo hide who goes on hunger strike because prison isn't fun to file a normal sensible lawsuit, where do you go?

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

That's the joke! Good job spotting it!

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 31 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Well, I honestly can't say that's any more delusional than claiming to be a spiritually attuned being who answers the war cries of the Republican party. I've never seen a shaman more in need of a mushroom trip.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 51 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"QAnon shaman sues Trump for $40 trillion and targets Musk, T-Mobile and Warner Bros in rambling lawsuit"

Don't change the title

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 1 points 1 day ago

It sounds out of a pulp 80s sci-fi novel.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)

MAGA is fracturing and turning on itself. Some of them are waking up to the con of pedo Don

[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Are you calling them… woke!?

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

No, they're not cool, they've just stopped sleeping.

So wait did he actually find a lawyer to represent this fantasy?

ETA: And does he have an actual legal grounds for a suit?

[–] normanwall@lemmy.world 47 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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

I'd guess he has no case.

He's either a fucking moron or trying to drum up publicity for something.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm starting to think the guy that dressed up like a shaman and participated in the insurrection attempt might have a screw loose.

[–] mmcintyre@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

More like, dressed up and called himself a shaman. I don't know any shaman that dresses like that. Then again, I also don't know any shamans..

[–] WanakaTree@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I do know a shaman. She does not dress like that

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 13 hours ago

Well, she's missing out. Not too many occupations expect you to wear a seriously wicked get up like that!

[–] tal@olio.cafe 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Not necessarily mutually-exclusive possibilities, I would note.

one-ounce gold coin, valued at $40 trillion

Trump was claiming that the reason that he wanted to stop minting the penny was because the metal was worth more than the value of the penny (while true, that's not where the real cost of the penny comes from; it's rather from the handling and processing costs). I assume that that was to pander to someone, so I'm wondering if maybe there's a segment of the MAGA crowd that's obsessed with the metal value versus face value of coins.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 13 hours ago

The hilarious thing is that these MAGA geniuses think that it costs 3.5 cents every time we use a penny, and that is obviously a bad deal, and Libz are too stupid and deliberately wasteful to understand that.

The MAGA Economists haven't figured out that it may cost 3.5 cents to manufacture it, but then it gets used millions of times, so the cost is amortized over those millions of uses, not just one.

The thing that will ultimately save us is MAGA's virtuosic incompetence.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

he wanted to stop minting the penny

Whatever happened with that?

[–] tal@olio.cafe 4 points 1 day ago

kagis

Looks like it's going forward. 2026 should be the last year that the US mints the penny.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_(United_States_coin)

In 2025, the U.S. Mint announced a plan to end penny production after the 2026 production run.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Why not both

I mean I don't want this guy being the new musk but...

That is going to make a LOT of lawyers' boat payments!

[–] Onsotumenh@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Is it just me or did the ammounts Americans sue each other for rise an order of magnitude in the last few years?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 13 hours ago

Add a couple more zeros...

[–] Master167@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Just another aspect of inflation.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Ya know what, I kinda like this guy now.

[–] tal@olio.cafe 3 points 1 day ago

I see that someone has a bone to pick with T-Mobile.

[–] Rokin@leminal.space 1 points 1 day ago

I liked his interview with Channel 5.

[–] Chivera@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You know what let's do it. Give him 40 trillion. Just end it already.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

No give him $40 trillion of Trump's personal money. Heck, pull it back to $40 million, that's probably about what Trump has grifted off the Presidency.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Oh, he's grifted WAY more than that. He entered the presidency in 2016 DEEP in the hole, and emerged in 2020 as a billionaire.

A few weeks back, I read how Trump's personal businesses has profited well into the billions in just this current term alone.

40 Million? Those are amateur numbers, Trump is aiming for GOAT status among grifters.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

He will never have $40 trillion, and he's got WAY more than $40 million.

This reminds me of Austin Powers when Dr. Evil demands one billion dollars in the past, and one million in the present.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Lol there is no ceiling for stupid
