"SNIP.....

“President Trump’s election loss and the week-long silence of ‘Q,’ the movement’s mysterious prophet, have wrenched some QAnon believers into a crisis of faith, with factions voicing unease about their future or rallying others to stay calm and ‘trust the plan.’ The uncertainty has been compounded by the abrupt public resignation, also last Tuesday, of Ron Watkins, the administrator of Q’s online sanctuary on the message board 8kun,” the Washington Post reports.

“Q has gone quiet before. But the abrupt lack of posts since last Tuesday — Election Day, which the anonymous figure had touted for months as a key moment of reckoning — has sparked speculation and alarm among the movement’s most ardent followers. Some QAnon proponents have begun to publicly grapple with reality and question whether the conspiracy theory is a hoax.”

No doubt this was a planned movement to create a Trump cult that would project onto Democrats precisely what the rotten core of Republicanism was actually guilty of.

blue balls, to be crude. They're being strung along, but there is no relief for them. It's pretty fucking sick, really. Preying on the mentally ill.

She didn't stand up very well to the waterboarding.

She has given us the names of all of her informants and we have recovered files listing our pedophile masters, which we have destroyed.

The Nation is ours again as we mop up the ranks of the resistance.

Now we will end the Covid hoax and restore power to the Satanic Overlords.

Game over.

Thank you for playing.

The tRUMP & Republican Cabal to go after, along with all of the members to the Federalist Society.

Democratic groups need to seriously consider spinning the right wing's hydra creations all back on themselves to consume each other instead of stalling and destroying the United States from any meaningful progress. Well aside from the almighty Wall Street this delusional country worships to make bigger financial portfolios and retirement accounts as people cannibalize themselves to risk their security.

Gosh, if only some of them were the kind of people who liked putting things they've heard together and seeing if there's a connection ...
