MAGA/Q gave it their best shot. I don't think that you can be certain that Q is not of origin from abroad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hell must be rained down on all of those who gave comfort and succor to the insurrectionists. Trump must be eviscerated and his movement squashed.

Phil1111 1,149 #1484 January 14, 2021 Some may think QAnon doesn't warrant close scrutiny. The man who threatened Mrs. Pelosi and the Washington mayor. came prepared. He had "2,500 rounds of ammunition, including at least 320 “armor-piercing” rounds" He said “I predict that within the next 12 days, many in our country will die,” The QAnon believer reached his destination late Wednesday ready for battle. After learning that Vice President Mike Pence wasn’t going to stop the certification of Biden’s Electoral College victory, Meredith texted, “War time,” In later messages, he warned that he was “3.5 hours from target practice,” “Ready to remove several craniums from shoulders,” and “so ready to FK SOME TRAITORS UP.” “I ain’t goin to jail,” he wrote at one point. “[T]he morgue maybe, not jail.” Meredith brought with him a Glock covered in an American flag skin, an assault-style rifle with telescopic sight, high-capacity magazines" Meredith told authorities he “may wander over to the Mayor’s office and put a 5.56 in her skull,” calling her a “FKG c---.” He also said he was, “Thinking about heading over to Pelosi C---’s speech and putting a bullet in her noggin on Live TV,” later describing the California Democrat as a “Dead B--- Walking.” “I hope you’re reading this Mr. FBI agent, FK U,” he said after threatening Bowser. “You get that one Mr. Marxist FBI Agent?” he sent in a text after threatening Pelosi. “Go FK yourself.” This is QAnon, what four years of trump and the last decade of the GOP has created. Perhaps deprogramming these people may be harder than getting rid of Covid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While it increased its trade surplus last year to $1/3 of a trillion dollars. President Xi and his communist cadre made complete fools of trump and his "Phase One" deal.

You missed the most important part "Two tenths of one percent to lead.. With all the supposed "cheating" to "steal the election". All they could do was 1/2 a percent. Yet dominion couldn't toss out every GOP senator in the whole country.

Absolutely hilarious how the election was 'stolen', yet the Rs made gains in the House and damned near kept control of the Senate. Pretty incompetent 'thievery'. And somewhat like all the lawsuits. Once there are penalties for lies, they stop claiming there was fraud. Go figure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too many people don't understand the difference between freedom of speech and freedom from consequences for that speech. A meme I saw yesterday captured it pretty well: "Freedom of speech isn't freedom from repercussions. That's why everyone who works retail doesn't tell you to go fuck yourself." That whole institutionalized power thing is why some people really have been free from repercussions, as long as whoever they were talking about didn't have power. "Boy," the n-word, "sweetie," the pat on the butt, etc. If you wanted to keep the job (or whatever), you just had to take it. Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny how all the people that hate 'political correctness' are the ones who were protected by that 'institutionalized power' thing.

President Trump appointed a military intelligence command structure of the highest security clearance. It is thought to be a Level 17 above Top Secret. Q is the 17th letter of the alphabet and thus the name given. The Q team is thought to be seven military intelligence officers and three civilians. When President Trump stated “the storm is coming,” many think it referred to the work of Q. Q makes cryptic posts available to those who determine how to locate them. Those cyber investigators are the Qanons. When they respond to Q their identities remain anonymous. The strategy is that many in the computer science world have the ability to gather the information that complements the work of the Trump administration. It expands its intelligence assets to open source. Many of these Qanon responses are simply emotional fantasy. However, some actually have merit and value and Q uses that information as needed. Q will often confirm a Qanon post in another Q drop. Sometimes President Trump will confirm a Qanon in a Tweet, live speech, or on the Q board, signed Q+. Some of the Anons have taken the position of analyzing the Q drops, the Qanon responses, and President Trump's behavior and statements. They look for correlations. Thus far, since October 2017, these correlations have exceeded mathematical coincidence. Some of the Q drops only make sense when something in the future correlates to it. This is referred to as future proves past. I follow the Q drops not the Qanon responses, and three of the outside analysts to see how they correlate to each other. I find it quite fascinating and have not discovered anything here that would influence me to change my mind. This aged well, don't you think? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One is that it's still coming and don't let anyone tell you different. "Be patient!" cautioned the moderator of one Q channel. "Don’t worry about what happens at 12 p.m. Watch what happens after that.” They then threatened to ban anyone who posted anything negative. The second are the people who are waking up to reality. "It’s over. Wake up! We’ve been had.” The third have merely switched some minor details of the Qanon conspiracy to keep it alive. From Telegram: "The more I think about it, I do think it’s very possible that Biden will be the one who pulls the trigger.” 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
