QAnon reshaped Trump’s party and radicalized believers. The Capitol siege may just be the start.
The online conspiracy theory, which depicts Trump as a messianic warrior battling ‘deep state’ Satanists, has helped fuel a real-world militant extremism that could haunt the Biden era: It’s ‘a threat to our democracy, and we’re not nearly done’ https://www.washingtonpost.com/techn...QuXRHm8fLUaiUA |

Q-nuts will tell you that mask-wearing = communism, or something like that. A guy visiting Kauai was arrested twice for violating quarantine, and is facing a number of counts even though he agreed to the public health restrictions prior to visiting. Of course he videoed himself violating, posting it on Tok-Tok, whining that Kauai was the communist party, what ever that means. Yes, these people are that plank stupid.

And the funniest part is how quickly their hero is getting dumped: as I said, “...an utterly disposable buffoon, a loudmouth guest at the Republicans’ Dinner for Schmucks”. An ultimate loser who in turn despises his ultra-gullible marks like the Q crowd, but will gladly keep taking their money and praise.

Plus, some of these idiots are now going to be charged with seditious conspiracy, which could get them up to 20 years. I wonder if they'll raid their commissary funds to send him some grift?
The best part is that even behind bars, they'll still think they know the real truth, that they're smarter than everyone else. |

Both of these are just knee-jerk terms to refer to anybody they dislike. We once had a governor of our state who would call a photographer taking a photo of him threatening a black man with a pick handle "a commonist an' socialist." He would ask a reporter at a press conference "What are you, a commonist?" He couldn't spell, you see. But the point is for the right, "socialist" and "communists" are mere expletives, opprobrious terms to be tossed around like "******" or "son of a bitch." It reflects on the speaker more than on the reviled one.

Is Childlike Empress still around? I miss those Ben Garrison cartoons.
Hope I'm not crossing any lines, but here's an update from Jake Tapper on Twitter: Scroll to the 2nd tweet for more Garrison artwork. He needs to label everyone, because otherwise no one would recognize the caricatures. |

Ugh. Wish I could unsee those.
In the "backstabber" cartoon I linked to, I was trying to figure out what Lindsey Graham had done to supposedly betray Trump. Other than not going along with Cruz et al. Garrison's fatal flaw as a caricature artist: He can't capture a likeness to save his life. Of course, he is Though who needs artistic talent when you've got a built-in fan base hooked to the eyeballs on lies that make up them feel special and in-the-know? What is going to be the next big thing after Q? |

That's quite the show of desperation as an attempt to defend Trump. "Biden's done some things that can come across as a bit creepy, so just ignore Trump being creepy in much more illegal/immoral ways and making it quite obvious that he knew about and was fine with Epstein actually going after young girls sexually."

There is no video of President-elect Biden groping girls.
Meanwhile your hero, President Trump paid two prostitute/pornstars $130,000 each to remain quiet. Why do you insist, off-topic, Trump paying prostitutes hush money, has something to do with 2020 election conspiracy theories? |

I take Bubba's switch to attacks on Biden as admission that Trump lost.

I'd written another long post comparing Biden's hair-smelling to Trump's groping of his own daughters, raping his wife, etc. etc. I didn't see much point in posting it when I was finally done but saved a draft in case it comes up again. It's old news and not directly related to the "stolen" election conspiracy this thread is ostensibly about. But it's around if that kind of thread pops up.
Yes, I think there is an admission of sorts there. I did not expect Trump's descent to be so sudden and brutal. It's not over yet, but inshallah it will be soon and he can move onto his next phase in life - building a media empire, or whatever comes next. I can't say I feel sorry for him at this point but I don't particularly wish him ill, either. Sometimes I think it *would* be a relief if he had a health-care emergency that gently removed him from public life, though. |

Well, you're kinder than I am. He seems to rely overmuch on hair, rather than capturing his subject's features and facial expressions. I love a good political cartoon and think those guys really have one of the best jobs in the business.
ETA: Still can't figure out what Lindsey Graham supposedly did wrong. I google him on occasion and his latest move was lobbying Biden to suppress the impeachment vote in the House. Unsuccessfully, but his loyalty to Trump is intact. |

To no-one's great surprise, Bubba has fled in fear from his own claim. Again.
To continue my public service of answering questions for him: No, Bubba has no evidence of this, because he simply made it up. He would prefer it if everyone would overlook this, but that's not going to happen. Fail. Claim dismissed. NEXT! |

If Qanon was seeking publcity, it hit the jackpot with the attack on the Capitol. Now you cannot tune in newscast without Qanon being dicussed.
Too bad the publicity is almost all bad and Qanon is becoming synanumous with nutcase. |

I guess we can take solace knowing that, for Ashli Babbitt, Qanon was real. She was taking part of "the Storm" and got shot dead before reality could come crashing down. She was shot dead while at the peak of her fantasy.
Instead of waiting for the FBI to knock on her door and serving a lengthy prison sentence during Biden's administration, she died knowing that she did her part to defeat the cabal. All the other Q kooks are in for some real disappointment, but not Ashli. |

Okay, so over the weekend there's going to be a three day, worldwide blackout, during which they're going to use the Space Forces GBS to play eight hours worth of video with all the charges against Biden and company.
Okay, maybe I'm overthinking this, but if we're in the midst of a 72 hour global blackout, who's going to be able to see the eight hours of charges? |

In one of the other threads there was something about using a particle beam to directly generate the broadcast on screens. “...It fiddles with the screen itself injecting a state of the art particle beam to override the screen and project new content.” |

Q Shaman getting weapons enhancement on his charges for carrying a weapon. The weapon was cited by prosecutors arguing he should not be released pre-trial.
That weapon is the spear he carries as part of his costume. LARP is life. |

It was supposed to start the 10th, but got called off for . . . reasons. Then, the 11th, and now, soon.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!! Nevah!! ETA: Of course Q-nuts will claim a global blackout came, but we'all didn't notice. The same way they'll claim Diaper Don is still president after 12 noon Jan 20, but the MSM is covering it up. Unless Former President ***** -His-Pants has an alternate inaugural, then they'll say, "See, we told y'all." It's a mixed up, jumbled up pretend world for the Q-nuts. |
