(Detroit Metro Times) Last week, we discussed "Obamagate," a QAnon thread that found life in a presidential hydroxychloroquine hallucination.

To recap: Barack Obama and Joe Biden supposedly engineered a corrupt FBI/deep state conspiracy to ensnare Donald Trump's campaign in a Russia-collusion hoax, but — because they're very devious — they didn't employ this scheme to stop Trump from getting elected. (In fact, the conspirators ensured his victory by announcing an investigation into his opponent just before the election.) They then manipulated his national security adviser into lying to FBI agents, then forced the president to obstruct a special counsel investigation during which a bunch of his associates pleaded guilty to all kinds of crimes.

The deep state plays the long game, y'all.

Instead, the ruling political party, not to mention the politicized Department of Justice, is pretending to take it seriously — or, worse, has drunk the Kool-Aid — which is more scary-stupid. .......(more)
