Sidney Powell looks like a clown that ran out of makeup while getting into character

I am fucking thrilled that Sidney Powell in particular got snatched up. She was just so, so awful. Absolutely the signpost at the intersection of Stupid St and Evil Ave.

[–] LeadSoldier@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's weird that I generally have been following this but have no idea who she is. Do you have any place for me to start reading?

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

I don't have anywhere to start reading, but she was pretty vocally involved with the whole alternate electors and election fraud shit. She was on Fox, and other places, pretty frequently pushing it. She was probably more the face of it than Rudy was. I'm not sure how you haven't heard about her, but she wasn't hiding. It should be easy to find.

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Just her wikipedia article will get you a general feel. She's the deep end of Q. Election lies, antivaxx but less on the "it should be my choice" side and more on the "babies of vaxxed parents are born with all-black eyes and sharp teeth/the vaccine makes you magnetic in order to power the surveillance microchip in it" side. She's at least a 4 time veteran of suing the government about the election and losing, and she eventually went so far off the rails that the Trump legal team sorta disowned her in public though she still met with him in private while he was president. She's a hateful, harmful monster who was willing to do anything to seize power. Now she's gonna go to jail, which is dope.

She makes my skin crawl - fucking horrific person.

I will pay ten dollars if anyone sees her walk out of courtroom or police station and screams "the kraken is released".

We're all witnesses here: ten dollars to support your favorite lemmy instance.

Can we throw some funny hat wearing just for comedic purposes?

You're telling me that these are two different people? Bullshit!

[–] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, whatever happened to that? Did the kraken ever get released? What was the kraken supposed to be anyway?

For once this meme means something other than getting a boner.
