With Twitter banning Diaper Don, Crazy Sydney and Felon Flynn, it looks as if they're going after all the bull **** spreading Q-nuts.
Good. |

Take out the first part and insert 'Trump supporters and right-wing extremists', and it's exactly what they did. There is, of course, no way on earth Trump is going to enforce this on his own followers, but Biden- or even, possibly, Pence- could. |

Ashli Babbit never will.
She died for nothing. Worse than nothing; she died for a stupid, vicious fantasy that was nothing more than a metastasized 4chan troll, monetized and promulgated by a “leader” who despised marks like her, and by an unholy mob of other grifters and crackpots and cynical opportunists who will never think of her again. Nor will the rank-and-file of trolls and casual conspiracy fantasy-shoppers who didn’t profit from her and her fellows directly - but nevertheless make it easier to radicalize and stupiditize people like her - such as our resident passive-aggressive Q-regurgitator. People like her, who was literally killed for her stupidity, or Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died for other people’s stupidity, matter no more to these casual sociopaths than American democracy itself, which is continually eroded by such pernicious delusions. Why should they? They’re the suckers that get killed or hurt, not our local keyboard warriors racking up the lulz. |

Q couldn't save her. Nor can he save the future casualties if they show up at the inaugural, or the threatened Jan 17th unintentional mass suicide event these knuckleheads have fever-dreamed.
Where is Q? Nowhere, absolutely nowhere, but the credulous see his work everywhere, like some sort of god, though in reality he is nothing more than a skeezy troll, luring up bottom-feeding suckers. |

I am betting that Marjorie Taylor Greene ,the nutcase congresswomen from Georgia, becomes the de facto leader of Qanon.

QAnon is taking its last gasp. The latest breathless proclamation to take them says that Trump "has just signed the Insurrection Act" (there is some confusion as to whether this means he is simply invoking the existing one or has somehow created a new one) and has declared an emergency, supposedly meaning that despite everything Biden will NOT be inaugurated but will in fact finally be arrested, along with all the Democrats and "weak Republicans" in Congress, and that Trump will remain president "indefinitely" until all of these positions can be refilled by non-Democrat replacements and a new, proper election that favors Trump can be held.
Now, this is certainly nothing new for a QAnon prediction, in fact it's basically the same thing they've been saying all along with a drastically shortened timeline. And I'm under no illusions that QAnon's believers won't persist in some form or fashion of delusion after Biden's inauguration. I call it "the last gasp" because I believe it marks the end of the QAnon mythos as such; the fairy tale of the godking president and his patriotic administration who are secretly behind the scenes arranging "The Storm", "Full Disclosure", and so on. Once Biden is inaugurated and his Cabinet begins to be seated, it will be difficult to ignore or explain away the Trump administration's staffers losing access to their offices and departments and thus their ability to even theoretically support "The Storm". The mythos will have to shift to a new story. |

Alex Jones has turned on the Qanus folks. I refuse to post links to him but he went of on a Q caller, telling him he was "full of S**T", and that he never trusted them, and how everything they said were lies.
You know, Pot vs Kettle stuff. |

Indeed.
The specific caller he was berating was "Q Shaman", the guy shown in all the pictures wearing a fur-and-horns hat during the Capitol Putsch. He was arrested yesterday in Arizona, but he did several press interviews and that interview with Jones in the meantime. Jones widely believes QAnon's BS, or at least BS very similar to QAnon's; but QAnon is far too big-tent for Jones. Jones approaches his conspiracy theories from a fundy-Christian perspective, while QAnon has attracted plenty of those folks but also multitudes of new-age types and others who are less definitively-describable but certainly not Christian. Jones' rage and rejection of QAnon is no doubt based in large part about its stealing of his spotlight, but it's also internally consistent if we expect that he should view QAnon as wrongly legitimizing and aggrandizing non-Christians (thus satanists, by Jones' definition) like Q Shaman. |

That reminds me of a group similar to Qanon about 2000 years ago.
They had a guy they were into in the same way these qnuts are into Trump and they totally thought he was going to change everything. Even when their dude got arrested, they weirdly kept up hope things would turn around for them. But of course, when he was executed, they sort of petered out, and we haven't heard from them since, right? My point here, is that fanatics don't adjust to the failure of their predictions by accepting reality and walking away, they just keep readjusting their predictions. And they can do that for literally millenia. |

Trump isn’t bothered by 375,000 American deaths from Covid, nor by an insurrectionist mob attacking Congress, but apparently he is losing his **** over the PGA taking its 2022 championship away from his golf course.
What a pitiful, depraved, tiny excuse for a man. What a loser. This is the ‘Q’ crowd’s messiah, their big strong he-man leader. Just pathetic. What a bunch of suckers. And they don’t realize that he despises them for the willing marks they are. |

Dreamer. There will be no swearing in of your Little Girl Sniffin Election Stealer. I assume you have viewed and rationalized the footage of little girls pulling away when Sniffer's straying fingers touch their breast, and that you've seen and rationalized the footage of him sniffing little girls?...All during official photo sessions in Washington offices.

The troll pretending to be Q doesn't like it when other trolls pretend wrong.

No doubt Bubba can also explain to us that The Donald's ecosytem wrecking golf courses in Scotland didn't actually make any class of a loss?

It will be quite amusing to see the Q cultists flail to respond to the dumping of Donald Trump by business, media, and now the Republican Party.
The Republicans found him to be a useful idiot to get them goodies they wanted and turn out votes. That’s done. He’s now not only a political liability, but a financial liability, so they are flushing him down the toilet with record speed. What the Q dolts don’t understand - but are about to hilariously smack face-first into - is that Trump was always an utterly disposable buffoon, a loudmouth guest at the Republicans’ Dinner for Schmucks; it was only a question of when the disposal would happen. Suckers. |

It really is too bad that JFK, Jr. was murdered by Hillary Clinton and the very same Deep State (TM) that got his father and uncle. But he would’ve easily been elected President and you know, the Clinton-dominated Democratic Establishment just couldn’t let that happen (but could let Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump happen, because...??).

Seems time for a shout-out to the Q believers who have helped stigmatize mask-wearing and other elementary hygiene precautions that could have helped control the Covid-19 epidemic, what with us up to four thousand Americans dying every day from it. Good work!
