Q is Joe Biden, another non-US Politics thread (Q Anon, Qanon, Q_anon, Joe Biden is Q)

out on the road today
i saw a q-anon sticker on a Subaru...

My friend's Trumpy dad had one of those right wing 'LGBT" shirts. He usually just lets him be (a Trumpy asshole), but in this case he intervened and explained both why it was offensive to him and that he should never wear it again.

Let's Go Brandon, Tee-hee!

It’s still funny to me that gruff blue collar trucker guys idolize an effete, gossip addicted new yorker who wears makeup

If this is the avatar of trad masculinity perhaps they’ve already lost the battle

you have to remember, when he takes his shirt off he looks like Rambo.

Don't look woke
You can never look woke

thank you nickn i had no idea where to take that next!

chatgpt refused my request to "rewrite don henley's 'boys of summer' to be about qanon"

"I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream?
Now I don't understand what happened to our love
But babe, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of"

This could be in the suicide note of a Q-believer who kills his family

Q-Anon mom facing the music (less music than she deserves but still...)

had no idea she was a Qbert, just thought she was regular old racist

Q nuts have been kind of quiet lately. Maybe ran out of thumbtacks and red map string?

How long has this shit been dragging on? QAnon shaman is already free.

Stewart Ehides got 18 years

Rhodes

He's not really Q-y, is he? He's more full-on radical militia. Even then, 18 years is well under the stated guidelines, which iirc were set at 21-27 years. Prosecutors asked for 25, the maximum sentence for seditious conspiracy is reportedly 20 years in prison (setting aside consecutive sentences), so even then the 18 years is a downward variance (a phrase I just learned).

xp: I envisioned something like this

So one of the funders of the anti-child trafficking hit film Sound of Freedom was arrested and charged last month with, you guessed it, child kidnapping.https://t.co/wGVl8hY7ZM

QAnon shaman is already free.

I think the court took cognizance of some mitigating factors such as he's an idiot and until he broke into the Capitol on Jan 6, 2020 his stupid public antics were not criminal. He also expressed some moderately convincing remorse and publicly apologized for being an idiot.

Some of the videos also showed him trying to get people inside the capitol to listen to the police officers

xp is that film a hit? That’s depressing. I’m in daily contact with someone who’s going through a mh crisis & is deep into conspiracy lore inc Q type stuff, they are obsessed with seeing it (don’t think it has a uk release date)

Everything about it bums me out, seeing it would be such a bad time for so many reasons

xp is that film a hit?

As of August 4 2023, the latest figures show Sound of Freedom has made $155 million at the box office following its July 4 release.

to some i guess

It’s a hit because the original budget was so low, I’d wager

People aren't actually going to see it, though; they're buying tickets they never use so that it will be "sold out" and "very popular" even though the actual shows are empty.

Yeah, it’s the same rightwing bulk-buying that been applied to run the release up the charts since the 90s

iirc, the budget was well under $20 million, so somebody's raking in some noteworthy profits here.

And it was crowdfunded, so they get to keep all the loot

As I mentioned in another thread, the prevailing right-wing narrative is that theaters are telling people it's sold out to keep people from seeing it. Because, you know, Hollywood doesn't want this truth coming out.

Scientology used to force members to buy Hubbard's garbage books to keep them on the bestseller list, it's an old playbook

Hubbard was a first-rate grifter. He would be all over QAnon.

MyPillow Guy nowhere near playing in the same league a L. Ron.

Would like to read a 1000 page sci fi novel by MyPillow guy

A new leader has emerged for the QAnon cult that believes former President John F. Kennedy is still alive—a 13-year-old girl who announced plans to indoctrinate more children into it. https://t.co/lkhNKDz1mz

Joan of ArQ

Sad lol

I was going to ask where this kid's parents are but the answer is probably 'right behind her and egging her on to be as terrible as they are'

Won't someone think of the children?

Qanon movie reportedly just passed Indiana Jones 5 at the box office.

Just saw that the director is really embarrassed about the Q connection

Indiana Jones and the Secrets of Q — Indy rescues a weirdly ageless Short Round from the adrenochrome mines.

How do you think they made Harrison Ford look so young?

!

i knew that if i looked for the answers on the internet long enough, i would find them!

everything for a reason!

file under least surprising revelation ever

The anti-child slavery activist Tim Ballard, whose work was dramatized in the movie Sound of Freedom, resigned from the Operation Underground Railroad (Our) organization he founded amid allegations he sexually harassed colleagues, it was reported on Monday.

Ballard, a former adviser to the Trump administration on child sexual trafficking, who is reported to be exploring a run for a US Senate seat in Utah, resigned abruptly from the group in June for then-unknown reasons.

But the online media outlet Vice reported on Monday that the ultra-conservative figure, an alleged QAnon conspiracy theorist, resigned after Our launched a sexual misconduct investigation against him involving at least seven women.

Shocked, shocked

Mitt's replacement, everyone

The details of that were, even less surprising, pretty strange and gross:

...invited women to act as his “wife” on undercover overseas missions ostensibly aimed at rescuing victims of sex trafficking. He would then allegedly coerce those women into sharing a bed or showering together, claiming that it was necessary to fool traffickers. Ballard, who was played by Jim Caviezel in the hit film Sound of Freedom, is said to have sent at least one woman a photo of himself in his underwear, festooned with fake tattoos, and to have asked another “how far she was willing to go,” in the words of a source, to save children.

Saving children to get laid, that's the Sound of Freedom
