So, the Qanoners are having a hard time processing the Manafort and Cohen convictions. I feel really sorry for these folks, for real. Most "leaders" who end up with a cult of personality surrounding them are liars of some sort, but imagine worshiping a dude who lies THAT much, whose entire skill set starts and ends with being a con artist. Every single tweet Trump makes and everything he says in public has to be viewed through a lens of "he lies because he's smart, and he's lying to help us, as part of the master plan."
"Trust the plan" is one of their favorite catch phrases. This is currently their theory on Jeff Sessions: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1...630264832.html "Be patient! Any day now Hillary and Bill and the lot of them will get locked up! This is all part of the sideshow!" |

One of the cooks supporting the Qanon just met Trump in the Oval Office:

At this point, Hillary Clinton could start a pedophile ring and no Court would ever be able to find an unbiased jury to convict her. Trump is handing out Get-out-of-jail-free cards via Twitter.

The QAnon theory got yesterday the "White House Award". Unless this should be named the "Trump Award": http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefi...theory-in-oval

Those are the best kind!
Seriously, if they claimed that the moon landings were faked and that Paul McCartney died and was replaced by a double, it'd be the best CT ever. That might backfire pretty spectacularily, though. This sort of modern CT is getting quite scary. It's completely unhinged and fact-free, but organised and possibly violent, given the alledged stakes. |

Yep, when they already believe that everything relating to the Trump investigations is just a giant pantomime show intended to cover up their real target, there's no arguing with them. They'll incorporate anything into the CT. "No, you see, Trump only went into the prison so he'd be safe from the assassins that Killary has sent after him! 8D chess, man!" |

That old saying...
"..Just when you thought it couldn't get worse..." Now they are claiming sealed court documents filed nationwide since Q began posting have spiked roughly 4500% since Q appeared. (compared to 2006) They credit Trump for maybe 10K or more sealed indictments therein. Maybe is all just drug war search warrants. Talk about wild conjecture, not to mention getting egg on faces. ...and they say that Q says Trump plans to use the national alert system when wants to communicate directly to citizens' cell phones. He doesn't trust the media. That part could be true. What the heck will they say next? |

Sorry Mr Yak. I have no link or evidence.
During recess at Sunday school I overheard some fans of Q discussing that topic, and figured you might find it useful. They were somewhat animated, apparently enthused by their source's asserting the info had been confirmed. Go figure. |

Watching Q watchers. (in case anyone is interested)
They look for and report clues or 'proofs'. They look for indicators such as patterns. Clues re Q's identity, and proof that Q is close to Trump, among other things. Some gleanings, examples... On certain things deemed significant (example, a revelation or a prediction) Trump will tweet it one minute after Q posts the same message. Not verbatim, but like with a matching phrase or matching placement of an odd yet key word, or a matching number of extra spaces between words in a matching phrase. Stuff like that, which means Q is with Trump, they say. Q followers are wearing "WWGOWGA" hats and t-shirts. Q signs posts with "Where we go one we go all". Or WWGOWGA. General Flynn is autographing his books with "Where we go one we go all". There are more. They will also report when development happening today was predicted or hinted by Q weeks or months ago. Monday's declassification order, for example. There are now about 2209 Q posts. They call them 'Q drops'. A common theme being Trump's impending exposure and prosecution of villains in govt and elsewhere. |

I guess Q did a Q&A where he said a plane hit the pentagon and the moon landing was real. A lot of the believers can't believe it. Also, aliens are real.
It's interesting that a lot of them are saying that that Q said disinformation was necessary, so the "wrong" things he is saying don't disprove him. He is just letting the mass media think Q and the Great Awakening are loons. |

Some followers saying always Q ignored moon/911/alien questions, until today, asking why the change.

Today (or reported today) a Q post again followed a few seconds later by a matching POTUS tweet.
