The diabolical genius of Qanon as a manipulation is its fundamental distraction for an audience from researching Trump’s actual heinous crimes proven with legal evidence, among which it has been painfully thrilling to excavate with the crowd similarly over these past 5 years.
It has been said Q is like an alternate reality game to excuse Trump, a LARP potentially managed abroad by adversaries and/or domestically by industrial grade grifters. Researching Trump’s actual crimes has been an occupation of volunteerism by the so-called resistance for years.
Tonight’s pardons are perhaps the true “storm.” The completion into truth of a cast of characters that true amateur researchers had pegged even before the professional press. The problem with Q is it perversely mirrors a dark truth about citizen journalism.
Broidy is one-hop away from Nader who is a literal convicted paedo. Q is a projection of guilt and a designed distraction.
The more we talk about Q the more we don’t talk about Trump’s despicable crimes that need no additional proof, committed brazenly and outwardly, as if assuming self-pardon; so stupidly. Barely any “research” required.

Want to learn more about this internal polling data showing Trump could’ve promoted masking without losing support?!? nytimes.com/2020/12/31/us/…
It’s even Fabrizio data! (the same pollster Manafort instructed Rick Gates to send data to Russian agent KILIMNICK over WhatsApp per Mueller and SSCI report)
No words. Except to honor the dead. Each and every day. By the thousands.

Missed this from Friday: FTC rips Bannon’s “bluster” for refusing to cooperate with their investigation of unresolved issues in the Cambridge Analytica case (such as whatever happened to the data, Steve?) law360.com/articles/13394…
“The FTC urged a D.C. federal judge to order Bannon to appear at a hearing the commission requested in September 2019 as part of its wide-ranging probe…”
law360.com/consumerprotec…
“Perhaps realizing that he cannot refuse to attend the investigational hearing simply because he intends to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights, Bannon resorts to groundless accusations of improper motive," the @FTC's attorneys wrote. "But it's all just bluster."

Grasp the incentives. Doesn’t even matter that it’s Veteran’s Day today. Thought it was fascist drift but maybe it’s more like fascist grift.
“The sooner this stops the better. Not just for the republic. But for the world.”

@TimothyDSnyder just now on @msnbc via Vienna
Unfortunately, this is the end-game clash of pure American entrepreneurialism (anything goes grift) clashing against pure American democracy (the so-called beacon of the “free world”).

Started as a grift. Presided as a grift. Ending as a grift.
Ran for president to grift the brand. Didn’t expect to win.

Ran the presidency as a grift for the brand. Didn’t expect to lose.

Grifted into a hole. Grifting his way out.
Republicans struggle to let Trumpist grift go because it is wholly compatible with their core philosophy: Everything should be for sale.

MSNBC breaks away from carrying POTUS live immediately as he makes dangerously false claims to delegitimize election integrity. Remarkable.
A deliberate act, not merely the demented musings of a desperate madman.
Biden hitting 270 should give cover to Republicans to defend the Republic from despotic delegitimization and reckless incitement. We’ll see.

Newly FOIA’d Mueller docs support idea data pooled across RNC Data Trust, Cambridge Analytica, Fabrizio, and Kellyanne Conway polling and lines up with 2016 Trump campaign database obtained by @Channel4News and recent docs posted for @CampaignLegal illegal coordination complaint
Rick Gates was sending Fabrizio data to Russian Intelligence via Sam Patten’s business partner KILIMNICK over WhatsApp and it’s finally become clearer that this data was at least conceptually synced to RNC and Cambridge Analytica’s accurate predictions of the battleground states.
Obviously the bar for a campaign to get caught in a conspiracy with a foreign power is impossibly high despite sending data this way when you have enough layers of intermediaries, copious plausible deniability, cynical media skepticism, and a profoundly corrupt Attorney General.
