It's like the Kremlin is personally trolling me with this crap.
Russia's links to QAnon (whatever that even is anymore) are still nebulous, with no compelling evidence of anything beyond early social media boosting. Americans have always excelled at being sucked in by scams and conspiracy theories, so no links are really necessary.
People get unreasonably mad at me when I point that out, and if it were different, I'd gladly say so. But that's how it is. We tend to be our own worst enemy.
I talk much more about this in the book, of course.

I'm not sure people are fully comprehending the political and logistical nightmare of potentially putting Donald Trump in prison.

It's not happening until it's happened. And we might not like what comes next.
A former president in prison is one thing. A former president who commands an armed and violent personality cult is something else.
Look, if the evidence is there, indict him. But it's a pandora's box inside a pandora's box. Let's be clear about the potential consequences - and the potential of limited returns (ie, he pays a fine and declares victory.)

While there's no indication she had any link to QAnon, her motive for killing her children is the same as most Q-driven crimes I've seen: unshakable belief that her children were in mortal danger, and she had to stop it at any cost.

Mothers have killed their own children many times before. It never makes any sense, because it's inherently senseless. What a tragedy for everyone involved.
A lot of people are assuming this woman was a QAnon believer or obsessed with its mythology. I haven't seen any story that confirms this - only that she believed some elements of what other Q believers think. But even Q believers don't routinely kill their own kids.

The far left and the far right agree that everyone in between is merely a mark to be fleeced with all of the scams, schemes, grifts, fundraisers, crappy products, fraudulent investments, and pieces of content that Heaven will allow.
"Well, actually, the Krassensteins' politics..." - just stop. The only thing anyone knows them from is being anti-Trump and a major part of "the resistance" to him on social media. What else matters about them?
Nobody dedicated to fighting Donald Trump should be retweeting crypto investment schemes from a far right activist who led the campaign to overturn his election loss. What they all call themselves doesn't matter.

Holy crap, Q was right! The government IS infested with sex traffickers and pedos.

nytimes.com/2021/03/30/us/…
Q mentioned Gaetz twice, "Q"-ing two tweets about impeaching Rod Rosenstein and George Soros handing out cash to Honduran immigrants.

No mention of the alleged sex trafficking and pedophilia, though.
A retrospectively super awkward recent shout out to accused pederast Matt Gaetz from a major QAnon promoter.

I get into Q proofs in THE STORM IS UPON US. One easy one to debunk are "deltas" between Q drops and Trump tweets. Short version: Trump tweeted a lot at regular times. If Q made drops during those times, some would invariably go up at almost the same time. It proves nothing.
If two unrelated statements go up at around the same time because one poster gamed out the times when the other poster made their statements, what is that supposed to prove? Most "deltas" not only say nothing, but aren't meant to say anything.
The point of "Q Proofs" is quantity, not quality. No one proof is especially compelling (though the McCain death one gets close). But Q believers will hit you with dozens or hundreds, and you give up on dealing with them. It's why debating a QAnon believer is pointless.

It was so easy for Democrats. Just give people money. When debating between less money and more money, pick more money. Not one single Republican vote was required to just give people money.

Instead, we have...whatever we have.
Sure, Republicans were going to do silly things to keep the money from being given to people. But Democrats have the votes. Just pick an amount that will be helpful to people and vote! What are majorities for if not that?
Do Democrats really believe that fewer people will vote for them if more people are given money? People like money! People vote for politicians who give them money! If anything, they should be giving too much money to people! Compete with each other to give the most away!
