I would rather not.

No thanks, I don't need to meet her

Rightwing social media grifters are a dime a dozen these days. Trump and his klan like to hide in their online safe spaces and try to paint democrats as the ones who are out of touch with the average American.

Is she also getting paid $100,000 a month by Russia?

I’m certain they can be had for far less than that.

Despite her protests about being called a “Qanon nutjob,” for years Kraus has been obsessed with Pizzagate-ish ideas about occult rituals among Hollywood celebrities, making claims that Travis Scott’s 2021 Astroworld festival, where 10 people died in a concert stampede, was literally a demonic ritual. She and her occasional Substack co-author, Emilie Hagen, have hosted and platformed the work of New Age conspiracy Instagrammer Jennifer Carmody, who has claimed that celebrities like Elvis were victims of CIA mind control. She’s reposted comments by far-right conspiracist Liz Crokin asserting that “Israel can’t have the truth about Pizzagate coming out.” Whatever the most eyeball-grabbing news of the day—Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial, Diddy’s arrest—she’ll spin the event as a forerunner to a promised post that will blow the lid off a sprawling sexual abuse scandal.

And that's when I closed the article.

How does one play checkers with a person that consistently loses to pigeons?
