There are billboards on 101 directing people to Holmes’ MAGA-like post truth website that declares she is ‘proven innocent’

I saw one of those billboards on Ventura Blvd. the other day and wondered what kind of PR scam it was. Who pays for those things? Billboards are pretty expensive around here.

So the website seems to be https://justblood.com (?)

She got got convicted on federal charges, so I think they're targetting Trump for a pardon/commutation. The "MAGA-like" aspect isn't a coincidence, it's deliberately mimics Trump's style to woo him.

This is not a "delusional person does delusional things" kind of situation, but a "manipulative person does manipulative things" kind of situation.

Presumably her husband (or "partner", whether they're legally married is a question of some debate) is paying for it by the way, as Holmes probably doesn't have any funds and he's born to wealth.

    Right before I refreshed this comment said

    > There is no need to denigrate a political faction. It's flamebait and off-topic.

    And like witnessing a shooting star, I've witnessed manipulation. What this person was upset about was the insinuation that MAGA is conspiratorially minded. That's bad - can't have people agreeing with that! So they first play at striving for fairness (to poor helpless political parties lol). But realizing it's so just beyond the pale at this point to try to treat MAGA as a good faith actor that it wouldn't fly, they pivot to citing tenuously implicated rules.

    If this weren't so poorly executed (and if I hadn't caught the edit) I wouldn't have even noticed but given that it is so poorly executed I gotta wonder whether this is just someone slacking at their botfarm job.

    Edit: just so no one can accuse me of making this up, here is the screenshot from my reader app which still has the original comment:

    Edit 2: in case this person edits again, the comment currently reads

    > Please don't instigate political arguments.
