I don't take QAnon or NYT seriously. I fail to see, though, how NYT isn't more dangerous, given their massive peddling of Russiagate and suppression of the Hunter Biden.

"suppression of the Hunter Biden."

Hunter himself has been anything but suppressed. Bow before the Prince.

Haha! I meant the Hunter Biden scandal.

Forget Hunter, what was the "Big Guy's" role in the whole sordid affair? I can just imagine the Trump coverage if his family...never mind, I can't reprise the last 5 years.

Oh, I think I know what you meant. Most of my jokes fail to land because I am not funny, actually.

Seriously, though: Hunter's "career" is Joe waving his dick in all of our faces, if you will excuse the language. There's many Joes and many Hunters in DC. Somehow they never face accountability.

That's very funny! Very true, too, alas.

Thank you for the Reddit suggestion. Interesting. One thing that struck me is most don't seem to take any personal responsibility. They just blame QAnon. But at least the ex QAnons know they're casualties. I know a number of Trump haters who are just as psychotic and have wrecked just as much as the ex QAnons at least admit to. The Trump haters just don't realize it. It's Trump's fault. They keep talking about how Trump supporters need to be reprogrammed. They should all look in the mirror, get themselves reprogrammed, stop watching CNN, reading NYT and get Trump out of their heads and move on. If an ex-President is still the biggest thing in your life you need help.

Reddit is raw sewage. Consume carefully.

Re: e.pierce & T.D.

Your commentary both individually and collectively not only lends respect to Matt Taiibi's thoughtful prose, it amplifies and extends the original content.

And the same thing isn't happening to NYT readers? Don't they cut off family ties etc. too? Haven't marriages been ruined over who voted for Trump?

The QAnon church ain't too different from the NYT/WaPo church. It was just a competing business model.

T.D., now I understand, you live in one of the last sane states. Come to California! You will experience the full TDS lunacy! Yes, it is destroying any community unity here in our Lib Left cities.

Ooh! Thanks IтАЩm definitely checking it out. I think the diff between Russiagate & Qanon is that R-gate had the potential to get us into another cold war or arms race with Russia. It was taken serious by the letters agencies & powerful people. Q only effects individuals and to the effect it affects real world events like 1/6. Im not sure that was primarily Q driven so much as it was by Trump and his band of crooks. The greatest danger in all that seemed to be the Lin Wood types who had massive followings and was affecting voters and stirring people up with Stop The Steal.
