Fact check: Conspiracy theory falsely says Biden arrested in plot to make Trump president
Daniel Funke
USA TODAY

The claim: Joe Biden was arrested and the military met in secret to make Donald Trump president
Eight months after the 2020 election, conspiracy theories about President Joe Biden's victory continue to swirl on social media.

A July 26 Facebook Live video with more than 59,000 views says Biden's days in the White House are numbered.

"MILITARY CALLED AN EMERGENCY MEETING FOR MAKING TRUMP AS A PRESIDENT | BIDEN ARRESTED," reads the title and caption of the video, which was published by a page called Breaking New 247.

Just in time for their claim that Trump would be president again in August.

These people are mental and they're only getting worse.

A feel good story. Fat old lady with health problems turns herself into a fit and healthy old lady.

Honestly, I am most impressed. Bravo.

I honestly think it's easier at that age if you never lifted. No wear and tear. Credit though she has done well. My mum is 89 in Jan and she walks 6 miles a day.

Checked out Neogaf. Left it, scrubbed from search history, and put in ad blocker.

The people there make KMC left wing folk look right wing.

Bravo to her, it gets harder and harder to build muscle as we age.

Minus any significant injuries building muscle in your 20-30's gives you a foundation no new lifter starting later in life can really match naturally. Six miles a day is fantastic at 89 man.

Ooh, I like that. Trading one necessary evil for another.

The truth is you can somewhar sympathise with the facists up to a point. Until you learn they genocided races.

I think it would have been stronger had they not been full on nazi's, as even a benevolent facist dictatorship is still an evil.

I think the reason he portrayed the fascist government in that way was to make them the perfect encompassing of British fascist / authoritarian ideals, that way the story plays out as a battle of the anarchist / totalitarian dichotomy. Right-wing British ideals have always been heavily centred around targeting minority groups (and women), so that's also why. Anti-immigrant, anti-disabled, anti-queer, it's all core to British Conservativism (e.g. Churchill) and British Fascism (e.g. Oswald Mosley). Disabled people and gay people in the early-to-mid 20th century were subject to all manner of state horrors: chemical castration, locked in asylums where they were ritually abused, all sorts of brutal shit and all hallmarks of right-wing ideology. These factors need to be taken into account whenever discussing fascism because they are a part of the ideology. Just as you can't discuss left-wing authoritarianism without having to take into account the aspect of class-based purges, for example.

The thing about 1984 for example is that it's more of a Stalinist dystopia than a fascist one, but it fuses different elements. Orwell, a true lefty and a staunch socialist, was portraying the dangers of totalitarianism in its entirety, borrowing heavily from what he knew about the Soviet Union at the time, and how it had become a beaurocratic state-capitalist nightmare masquerading under the banner of 'Communism' (hence Ingsoc). Plus in the world of 1984 we as the audience only know so much. For all we know, there were minority purges when Oceania was founded. That part of history is lost in-universe.

Joey Jordison died. He was a founding member of Slipknot and a kick ass drummer. So sad he died at 46.

Moore is a great writer. Even though he is an anarchist himself he doesn't try to paint the crossover period as being pretty or idyllic.

long ago before a signing I had a cup of tea with Moore. Back when a well known London comic shop now in a better area was on charring Cross Rd. This is long ago. I met he a few other times post that. He is a nice guy.

very, very witty. He has a lot of opinions. We talked about the defanging of the unions Northampton, the Midlands in general and Lewis Carrol. Very pleasant chat.

That's a pretty broad rage of topics, how long was the tea?

Awesome though.

I met Garth Ennis here in my area of San Antonio. He signed some comics of mine and we talked about Steve Dillon, beer, and Inglourious Basterds. Super nice guy.
