Nancy Pelosi's husband attacked

[frogwoman]

The guy who did it was an antisemite who was into Qanon stuff and according to some things ive seen on twitter (but unable to verify) also posted things from red brown youtuber Jimmy Dore. Idk if we need a separate thread but it seems like a really big story.

It was a big enough story for Paul Pelosi. So big you'd think they'd use his name in the headlines. I'm sure he's not just old Nancy's Hubby

 

[maomao]

Just another event in the slow burn civil war. Is there a thread for that yet?

 

[weltweit]

Does anyone have any evidence that it didn't transpire the way we are being told it did?

How do you mean?

 

[frogwoman]

There's reports in the US right-wing that he was actually Paul Pelosi's gay lover and the fash stuff etc was fake. No evidence to this obviously

Jimmy Dore is a piece of work. He used to be part of the left of center "Young Turks" on Youtube, but had a falling out there for a number of reasons, including politics. There was also this:

In 2021, Ana Kasparian accused Dore of having sexually harassed her when they had worked together at The Young Turks, alleging that Dore had made numerous sexually inappropriate comments to her, including while she was teaching a college course to a group of students. Responding to this allegation, Dore said that Kasparian had dressed "unbelievably inappropriately for a newsroom" and that, after she had "bent over in front of [him]" and he saw her underwear, he had said "nice news skirt", which "humiliated her". Dore said he later gave Kasparian an apology note following the incident. Kasparian has since stated that she believes Dore's description of the event contained inaccuracies, and alleged that the event Dore referred to was not the first time he had directed inappropriate comments towards her.[70]

I've listened to him enough to believe that he's really a creepy guy, who probably pretended to left-leaning politics to get airtime on The Young Turks. The way he tells his side of this story, he emphasizes more provocative elements to make her sound "slutty", which makes me think he's more guilty than innocent.

Paulpelosis is actually a very serious condition.

According to wikipelosis it's what happens when your piles get so big they burst.

anyway more than one driving related hiccup....

In 1957, when Pelosi was still a minor, a car that he was driving was involved in an accident. His older brother David, who was a passenger in the car, died in the crash; Pelosi was subsequently acquitted of misdemeanor manslaughter.[14]

and more recently

In May 2022, Pelosi was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol in Napa County after he crashed into another car at an intersection.[16][17][18] Pelosi pled guilty in August 2022 and was sentenced to serving five days in jail, paying $6,800 in fines and restitution, completing a DUI program, as well as three years of probation.[19][20][21]

Seems like the guy's not meant to be behind the wheel of a car

Imagine my shock (and dismay) when searching for Paul Pelosis and I ended up with an octegenarian venture capitalist.

So far then. The Frieda files on John Pelosioli

• Killed his brother in a car crash as a minor 1957
• Married Nancy when they met at uni 1963
• Got rich
• Owned a few football clubs
• Became so adept at the stock market they had to reign him in
• Became big dog at the Uni he and Nancy went to (Clinton's are also big wigs at same Uni)
• His kids graduate at the same Uni
• He does 5 days bird for drink driving (You'd have thought he'd learnt his lesson)
• Gets smacked over the head with a hammer by a guy looking for his wife or possibly a gay lover
• Got confused for a vertically challenged adult industry actor due to a slight punctuation mistake on urban75.net
• Elon Musk posts some conspiracy theory based shit and makes himself out to be a dickhead on social media not for the first time this year.
• I'm sure there is more to come on this one

Updated.

Plot thickens

Musk posts baseless conspiracy theory about Paul Pelosi attack on Twitter

Post comes days after Musk takes over social media platform amid concern that hate speech will run rampant under his leadership

www.theguardian.com

 

[Dystopiary]

This guy did a thread on the Paul Pelosi attack conspiracy theories, background, and Musk's role in it all:

Thread by @MattGertz on Thread Reader App

The right-wing press has spent decades building a huge audience for these sorts of convenient conspiracy theories. And their regular denunciations of the mainstream press built a bubble to keep out reality – only the right’s commentators can be trusted.

As for those trusted commentators – there are no powerful actors within that bubble who knock down those conspiracy theories. That’s how you end up with Fox hosts pushing QAnon talking points and scoffing at its extremism.

He links to this too:

Fox personalities have whitewashed QAnon's links to violence and how unhinged the conspiracy theory truly is

...which shows a list of the documented overlap between the QAnon conspiracy theory and Fox News.

Oops, wrong thread.

I was really surprised that there was no security on her house, just on her. I bet there's a lot of scrambling gone on this weekend for both prominent Democrats and republicans to close this security issue

It sounds like he only got emergency services to attend because he'd left his phone in the loo after an extended angry birds session... Not even remote monitoring or some kind of red button alarm system. Surprising.
