With respect to this ridiculous Trump episode about "injecting disinfectant", I think it's important to point out that no one knew what the hell Trump was talking about -- not even Trump himself. This is the POTUS giving public health advice to America, and he might just as well have been crossing his eyes and playing with his lips. It eventually became clear that he was trying to cite some stupid Fox thing.
Anyway, it's over. America has shown that clown to the door. As for QAnon, I wonder who's going to put up the mil to buy it. There's plenty of people crazy enough. I'd like to see a better comedian get it. |

Dr Birx looked away or down at her feet because that's what people do when their boss is saying something incredibly ignorant; they hold their tongue because they are wise and oolite enough not to contradict their boss in public. ETA: Especially so when their boss is a thin-skinned, vindictive *******. |

And you know Bush is sitting at home, drinking a beer and watching 24-hour news coverage while secretly thanking God for Trump. "I'm not the worst anymore!"
![]() This. What Trump said was a suggestion about injecting disinfectant, period. The words are clear, the context is clear, trying to say something else was meant is simply wishful thinking. There's nothing to indicate it was being said ironically or in jest, except his after-the-fact rationalizations. That being said, I don't think he actually meant to say it. It's just that he simply doesn't think...he just lets his mouth run in a sort of verbal reverse Tourettes: he twitches and says things randomly, with the occasional actual thought and meaning behind it. He was likely thinking about something else entirely, and just letting his mouth run on autopilot in a sort of free association/stream-of-consciousness mode. Which is exactly what we all want in leader, someone who just says stuff without any thought, concern, tact, or meaning... ...it's no wonder the Venn diagram of Trump supporters vs. QAnon followers has two concentric circles. |

Healight? The one which hasn't got beyond a poster presentation about some in vitro work? That Healight?
C'mon Bubba, you need more than a poster presentation to look at all convincing. |

Do you think Bubba would mind if I came over and rubbed salt in his wounds and then collected it back up? I want to use it to frost the glass the bloody mary is going to be in that I'm going to drink while I watch Biden's inauguration. I want to taste the suffering while I enjoy the event and my drink.

More reporting about the real, personal damage done by QAnon. It's not all just electoral politics.
Q cranks believe that child custody disputes and family courts are part of the cabal to kidnap their children, encouraging non-custodial parents to adopt nonsense legal theories to get their children back.

More unanswered questions, Bubba.
Bubba hasn't answered, because Bubba doesn't know.
To my knowledge, Trump has never mentioned this UV light product once. If he had talked about it before the disinfectant comments, then it could be shown that Trump was aware of it, at least. If he had mentioned it by name in the interview, we could show that's what he had in mind. If he had even spoken about it afterwards, he could at least have some excuse or justification for his rambling idiocy. As I say, I'm not aware of either the before or after, and he definitely did not name the product during the press conference itself. Bubba has made yet another unevidenced claim, in a vain attempt to salvage the Toxic Tangerine's reputation- and has fallen flat on his face again. |

No it was a simple text block saying something like "people have started calling..." and it cracked me up because it's just so damn... right.
"Da Boyz" are ultra-nationalistic, racist white supremacists, and QAnon has made them their bitch. ![]() But that graphic is pretty sweet too. Thanks. ![]() |

And then law enforcement goes looking for those kids taken by non-custodial parents and brings them back. Conservative leaning news outlets broadcast it with a headline that misleadingly suggests the kids were rescued from sex trafficking kidnappers and the whole thing fuels itself.
We've discovered the secret to perpetual motion. |

A very interesting case has just come out of Florida with the shocking murder of 50-year-old Chris Hallett. Hallett was a sovereign citizen and ran an online business called "E-Clause", which offered phony and invariably invalid legal advice and services to clients based on sovcit principles and tactics.
More recently Hallett has gained a serious presence in the QAnon YouTube community, offering his dubious "services" to women who were fighting the legal system to regain custody of their children and amplifying conspiracy theories that state children's-services agencies secretly broker the children they take from unfit parents to "foster parents" who are actually Cabal-affiliated pedophile rings. Notably, Hallett consulted for at least some time with Cynthia Abcug, a Colorado mother who was planning an armed raid with other Q-nuts on the home of the foster couple who had custody of her children (a case which has been covered earlier in this thread). His killer was Neely Petrie-Blanchard, another QAnon-Mom who had been apparently quite devoted to Hallett until recently. Petrie-Blanchard had used Hallett's "services" when kidnapping her own two children from their custody-holding grandmother's house in Kentucky. She was eventually caught and arrested, her children rescued by law enforcement, and was out on bail under charges relating to that crime when she allegedly shot Hallett to death in his home. Ironically, a description of the incident given by a witness at the scene suggests that Petrie-Blanchard possibly blamed Hallett for the failure of her kidnapping attempt, and may have come to believe that Hallett was even part of the "conspiracy", and killed him for that reason. Basically one Q-cultist turning on and eating another. Hallett's fans in the QAnon cult, naturally, believe that the murder was arranged by the Deep State. |

I'm not 'desperately' doing anything, Bubba. It's your claim, so it's your burden of proof.
Can you provide a quote, any quote at all, showing that Trump knew about, and was talking about, this UV light product? You also need to explain why Trump himself, rather than 'hinting' that he was talking about the UV light, actually said that he was "being sarcastic. Very, very sarcastic". If he was being sarcastic, then he wasn't hinting about Healight, was he? |

And, as I pointed out earlier (from looking at Aytubio's own website), Healight has not gone any further than a conference poster presentaion of some in vitro findings...

As things become more desperate for Trump and options for remaining in power wane, I see the chances of him or his admin openly appealing towards the Q CT community increasing.
It's not beyond the realm of plausibility that Trump will add a Q component to his baseless claims of an election fraud conspiracy. We already see his surrogates making increasingly bizarre and fantastical claims to support his claims of a widespread fraud. Trump would probably find many willing violent actors if he openly and explicitly advocated the Q conspiracy theory and called for direct action to defeat the "deep state". |

Ah, those kooky Qanon/sovcit folks at play:
https://www.facebook.com/mcsoflorida/ ONE WOMAN ARRESTED IN MARION OAKS HOMICIDE At approximately 7:30am on Monday, November 16, 2020, Neely Petrie-Blanchard (DOB: 11/19/1986) was arrested for the homicide of Christopher Hallett (DOB: 12/22/1969) by the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) on behalf of the Marion County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO). According to eyewitnesses, Neely Petrie-Blanchard was the person who had shot Hallett, because she believed he was unable to help her regain custody of her children. MCSO Major Crimes Detective Lightle gathered further information from the eyewitnesses and generated a photo line-up. Petrie-Blanchard was identified as the person who shot Hallett. Due to the fact that Petrie-Blanchard had fled the scene, a nationwide BOLO was issued for her vehicle. More on the victim, written by a fellow traveler in the Q-ball roadshow: lionnews00.blogspot.com/2019/11/obstruction-of-legal-process-charges.html Didn't I warn people about the scam artists from E-Clause, LLC? Now the scam artists Kirk Pendergrass and Chris Hallett have gotten a couple of their dupes into deep legal trouble, haven't they? They have, haven't they? There are now Obstruction of Legal Process Charges for E-Clause, LLC dupes Melissa Grover (02-CR-19-7135) & Jason Youngstrand (02-CR-19-7136), aren't there? Grover said she quickly began filming with her cell phone, told the deputies they need a “warrant” and quickly called Kirk Pendergrass, agent, E-Clause LLC (E-Clause LLC does loss prevention for the United States government). ... According to a member of the Pentagon Pedophile Task Force, E-Clause will be conducting an audit of Anoka County. Grover and Youngstrand were charged with ‘Obstruction of Justice’. Minnesota sheriff’s office accused of kidnapping six-year-old – child’s grandmother affiliated with Pentagon Pedophile Task Force – story to be part of video series requested by PRESIDENT TRUMP 3 mins ago Timothy Holmseth by Timothy Charles Holmseth on October 31, 2019 at 5:11 P.M. [Note: Article by E-Clause Client/Fugitive Timothy "Conspiracy Theorist" Holmseth, okay?] |

As a surprise to absolutely no one, Sydney Powell appears to be getting her batcrap misinfo from QAnon. This isn't exactly fresh news, but I think it belongs here.

Hey Bubba, your post rate has declined rapidly these last 3 weeks, cat got your tongue?
Has Q sold yet? How's Trumpty Dumpty going to manage getting butt ****** in jail? What will you q-idiots do when the worlds greatest businessman gets declared bankrupt [again]? |

Hey Bubba?
Trump must be really really busy....... Doesn't he have to finish the wall in 40 days before being escorted out of the Whitehouse? Also....doesn't he have to legislate his replacement for Obamacare? He said it would be ready in two weeks, every two weeks, starting three years ago. Also, when is Trump having Hillary Clinton and the Pizzagate paedophiles arrested? Is Trump secretly doing all this at the golf course? ![]() |
