Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Of course he's not Q-anon. He's Q and he wants everyone to know it, unlike the rest of the continuum who wish to remain anonymous.
A narcissistic collective intent on shit-stirring for lulz, immune to logic or any sense of morality? Suddenly Star Trek TNG makes a lot more sense
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s entire career trajectory from being an ostracized QAnon congresswoman to cementing a position as one of the most prominent right-wing politicians in the country is itself a demonstration of the mainline GOP coming to terms with the conspiracy.
Because facts don’t matter. And why is that? Clearly facts matter when the rubber meets the road. Why is branded insanity running free in the world?
Maybe we should ask corporate news. But I doubt that would be much help.
Although the conspiracy movement emerged out of fringe imageboards in 2017,
4chan, /pol/ if I recall
It's an interesting story for sure, just have to wince when articles like this treat some sites like it's a big secret place. I'd guess that in some part it's so you don't get those people that go to check the source and get sucked into it.
Yeah, we've come a long way from an idiot holding up a pizza place with a rifle.
There was guy down the street from me that had a Q sticker on his car. I came so close to ordering the letters ueer and putting them under it, but he moved away. He wouldn't have noticed for awhile, and I know it really would have pissed him off. Ah well.
"Became everything" is giving it way more credit for the shit stain on history that it is.
You know by comparing Q to a everything bagel is a mockery of the whole thing. Everything bagel does not have everything.
