So it was nothing more than a hoax after all, something so blindingly obvious that only the thickest of the thick (righties) could fall for

'All dressed up and nowhere to go', as these halfwitted hillbillies pack away their 'Inaction Man' costumes and try to live with the knowledge that they are now the laughing stock of their communities.

The knowledge that so many will now spend years in orison for what their leader has now denounced.

The article below makes for hilarious reading - as it exposes the sheer stupidity of these dimwits

The QAnon stuff is oddly fascinating and actually quite sad when you dig into the damage it has done to some people and their relationships with family members. To any sane or rational person who tries to read any of the supposed 'q drops' its quite obviously insane fantasy with no attachment to reality yet a significant number of people not just give it credence but tie their whole being to it.

I can't find it now but one of the US papers - the Post or the Times - had interviews with several Trump supporters who were genuinely baffled that Biden had been sworn in. They expected something or other to stop that. And one - possibly a pastor but certainly with religious connections - said right up to the moment Biden took the oath he had assumed God would intervene. And he was speaking quite literally. He thought God would physically do something and was totally at a loss to understand why he hadn't.

And these religious people used to think they had to convert natives who worshipped the Sun!

I guess these people have always been around, but their bizarre views were screened out by the professional vetting procedures of traditional media. The development of the internet and subsequent rise of social media has destroyed that process and hence the rise of insane groups like QAnon is inevitable. How society attempts to moderate the harm that this fact-perverting free-for-all creates is a really pressing question, as the recent election has so clearly demonstrated.

I found the interview. He kept praying to God and saying to himself and others 'GGT' - 'God's got this'. Even now he hopes for God to intervene in some way and has stopped watching TV because he is afraid of seeing excerpts from Biden's Inauguration speech! It is crazy.

[SHRIMPER 328]

On CNN a few moments ago the QAnon idiots are saying that Biden and the whole Senate and House of Reps are under arrest and that the army is running things. As  I have said before.. there is not a scriptwriter in the world who could come up with a script for it.

Pride

What may be not fully understood here is how much money there is to be made from these hafwits (see Farages latest scam)

From tele evangilists to Oride March leaders they are obliged to keep the shi t pumping out, so as to keep the money rolling in.

However as kc points out " the damage it has done to some people and their relationships with family members" not only have people lost their lives, but their livelihoods as well as their houses through these scams.

And closer to home folk are now not only losing thousands through new tariffs, but their businesses through the unscrupulous scamming the thick.

Gowever none of these dimwits can claim they were not, nor still are not being warned

There has been some good stuff about the cross over between QAnon and the evangelical Christian right. There is a level of religious fervor around this.

Democrats will deliver Donald Trump’s articles of impeachment to the Senate on Monday - opening the way for a trial of the former president to start as early as next week.

So up yours righties - your boy is going down

Perhaps you would be so gracious as to clarify exactly what this so called 'scam' is City First?

Probably trousering the money from the Brexit Party "supporters" not members, and now starting the Reform Party.

And offering his services as a financial adviser which was his original profession. Nothing illegal of course but asking £199 from people smacks of more trousering.

And having the gall to say that he isn't a career politician.

Then he said two days ago he doesn't regret his friendship or support of Trump and says that Trump fulfilled his promises to the American people. Which isn't a scam but yet another lie from him.

The Brexit/Trump scam has been the very wealthy persuading the less wealthy to vote against their own interests.

...and not just to vote but also to contribute financially to the already wealthy tw@ts that are scamming them. 😂😂

In normal circumstances I think most people would have some sympathy for them because they are clearly being taken advantage of by some very unpleasant people.

But when they keep falling for the same ridiculous nonsense time after time, and in the face of some very obvious and observable facts which should really make them think things through a tiny bit then I'm afraid that sympathy isn't usually my initial reaction!

Looks like the Trump incited "civil war" has moved from the Capitol 6/1, to the Republican party itself. It's going to get messy for the GOP:

The Rep Party will want shot of this piece if orange faced excrescence - as they will know what will come out in court eventually.... and they will want him as far away as possible

The senate trial begins on 8th Feb, and I expect criminal proceedings will follow later in the year. I also expect the likes of Farage and other lowlife will be looking over their shoulder now, as the need to cleanse this fifth from society will make Trumps trial be far wide ranging

And talking if filth this odious liar is finally about to be held accountable. While it might not end in prison he could be facing a Katy Hopkins style financial take down

Only partially Horsefly - the right wing media personalities and Republican politicians have no interest in that commodity. Got to keep the $ rolling in, and in order to do that they have got to stay in power by any means possible... i.e. suppress the back vote, block any voting rights enforcement or rebalancing of representation in Congress to reflect the actual population distribution in the USA.

We will see how defiant the Republican Senators will be once all the eye witness evidence is presented on live TV at the President's Impeachment trial.

At the moment all they hear is Fox News spin and influence, but the American public has not heard the full details of what went down at the Capitol on Jan 06. If 45 "law and order" Republican's still vote to confirm that what Trump did was OK, and / or even if it wasn't OK you can't prosecute him for it, the Republican Party is dead, or it at least deserves to be dead.  

By definition you can only prosecute the instigators or a coup if it fails.

Another two weeks down the line and the wavering will continue and they will be lucky to get 10 let alone 17 to vote with them. And Trump will announce immediately that he has been impeached twice and twice found not guilty.

Neither impeachment was ever going to succeed, and I am sure the leading Democrats knew that from the start. But if Trump hadn't been impeached for what in both cases were plainly unconstitutional acts, to put it at its mildest, then a president would have carte blanche to do anything they liked, no matter how beyond the democratic and moral pale it might be.

Yes, of course he had to be taken to task, but I'm concerned that this drags on for too long with him in the spotlight and not punished at the end of it.

And even if the impeachment is successful, that wouldn't prevent Biden doing exactly the same thing.
