Does anyone know about the Qanon idiots ?

My husband’s nephew keeps posting this meme on Facebook with a picture of Hillary Clinton court date September 9th at 9:00 am.

I asked him why are you going after Hillary she’s not up for election? He wouldn’t answer.

They have no idea what they are after, they just hear something stupid like that and start thinking that it's real. It originated on 4chan, which most people refer to as the racist sewer of the internet.

US Justice Dept. Opposes Hillary Clinton's Challenge to Rare Deposition Order


The former U.S. secretary of state's lawyers at Williams & Connolly question the Justice Department's position and assertions in the pending D.C. Circuit case over Clinton's email practices.

The Trump administration has declined to back Hillary Clinton as she tries to block a rare court order requiring the former high-ranking cabinet official to sit for a deposition in a public-records lawsuit that confronts her email practices during her time as the U.S. secretary of state.


Everything else seems to be from RW blogs.

It all seems to com from this:

A judge ordered Hillary Clinton to testify at a deposition for a lawsuit related to her use of a private email server for involving official business while working as secretary of State under President Barack Obama.

<snip>

“It is time to hear directly from Secretary Clinton,” Judge Royce Lamberth said in his order issued in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., where Judicial Watch is suing the State Department over its handling of searches for Clinton’s emails.

“As extensive as the existing record is, it does not sufficiently explain Secretary Clinton’s state of mind when she decided it would be an acceptable practice to set up and use a private server to conduct State Department business,” Lamberth wrote.

Lamberth’s order on Monday limits questioning of Clinton to “her reasons for using a private server and her understanding of State’s records management obligations.”

The judge barred Judicial Watch’s lawyers from questioning Clinton and her former chief of staff at State, Cheryl Mills, about the preparation of talking points for then-United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice’s Sept. 16, 2012, media appearances about the attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya.

No date has yet been scheduled for Clinton’s deposition.

As of yet no date seems to be set.

has a handmade sign near the road that reads ‘Hilary for prison.’ The property is a genuine eyesore.

These are hard-core fanatics. Some don’t REALLY believe all of it (like my “friend”), but are happy to spread crazy lies far and wide. When challenged, one of two responses are their MO - either “Sheeple will find out soon enough that it’s true when Hair Hitler...” or “This is what some people are saying. I have no time to check into it myself. You can if you want.” In the latter case, when challenged why they are spreading misinformation without the slightest fact check, when they supposedly want “truth” so badly from the government and media, they go silent.

I’d say most are rabid idealogues who knowingly spread these crazy lies because they WANT to believe and at least are happy to seed disruption. The true believers, while less prevalent... hoo boy, that’s a vicious and crazy bunch.

A lot of members, or enough, are religious, and their crusade to stop the planet-wide Democratic, Jewish, etc., child trafficking cabal is taking on a quasi-religious fervor. They're now talking about the need for genocide, as in their rounding up and executing Democratic leaders (executing them at Guantanamo was mentioned, not sure most realize where that is.)

As for Hillary, why would such an enormous store of vicious irrational hatred, briefly going to waste after November 6, 2016, not be part of what's fueling this? She eats children's faces.

Btw, I hope those who said they couldn't vote for Hillary because they didn't trust her (the mildest expression of toxic influence) are "woke" now and no longer vulnerable to the kind of weapons that took them out in 2016.

would be behind bars by now. Still waiting for that "storm". A conspiracy theory for complete idiots, embraced by Trump who recognizes a con when he can exploit it.

...but the clueless just don't get it when the date passes uneventfully; the Qanuts simply don't see Q's trolling sarcasm.

The nephew said she is going down. This is a 23 year old kid, no college, nor girlfriend. I won’t say he is a loser but he doesn’t seem to be going anywhere in his life. I thought about challenging him but it’s a waste of my time. These Qanon people are so brain washed and propagandized they no longer can see the truth even if it was in front of them that they are being manipulated. These are the people George Orwell warned us about.
