I don’t have a dog in this fight, but an earlier diary on Kos noted that inside the coding for the Rogue POTUS Staff (of Twitter fame) website was the name of a coffee house in Virginia in a building that once housed the American Nazi Party. Or KKK. I forget. In any event, various people tried to draw various conclusions from this, including the fact that this might show RPS was really an alt-right front. Or a creation of Steve Bannon. Or Stephen Miller. I forget. (Like there’s a difference.)
Anyway, RPS tweeted later that immediately after this they received 50,000 tweets including a link to the Kos story. Long story short, they are “highly certain” that bots are at work and that
This bot attack is somehow associated with Louise Mensch and the Daily Kos writer "TrumpResistance", with the two likely being the same person.
Fascinating! They go on to say,
Today, March 23, at 2:33 pm eastern time, an individual named Josh White tagged us and Louise Mensch in a tweet, speculating that a hidden meaning within our website's code was a shout out to Neo-Nazis. The speculation is insanely far fetched and revolves around the fact that a certain coffee shop in Northern Virginia is housed in a building which, nearly 100 years ago, was used by American Nazis. (White, we assume, is simply engaging in idle, albeit absurd, speculation.) A short time after that tweet, at 3:07 pm eastern time, LM replied jubialantly, with an allegation that the FBI is investigating us. At 3:44 pm eastern time, mere 37 minutes after LM's reply, and 71 minutes after Josh White's tweet, a Daily Kos writer TrumpResistance published the -- er what is the correct word for something on Daily Kos seeing as article seems too dignified? Whatever it should be called, the Daily Kos link we shared earlier today, based on White's tweet.
This leads them to
And as we took a closer look at the link we noticed the author was TrumpResistance. That caught our attention because we were already aware of allegations that LM publishs [sic] on Daily Kos using this name. And further review of the link gives the appearance that it's more about praising LM than anything. The author, for no clear reason, mentions in the comments LM's early attempt to rationalize her allegations that we are controlled by Steve Bannon. In other comments the author alleges that LM is the target of dual organized conspiracies by the far left and far right on Twitter. We understand that this is a claim that LM has made herself in the past, and is clearly consistent with her tin foil helmet worldview, but it seems very difficult to see anyone but her making such a claim.
Louise Mensch is a former Tory MP who has some interesting things to say but is also prone to entertain conspiracy theories of various kinds.
Anyway, as I said, I’ve got no dog in this fight. Is it RPS real or an alt-right/WH head fake? Are Louise Mensch and “Trump Resistance” one and the same? Is this whole coffee shop name thing real or nonsense? Kirk or Picard? (Picard of course.)
