Wow! This weekend a dangerous assemblage of Republican quacks, kooks and grifters assembled ... and there the party openly embraced the #QAnonCult Lin Woods & Mike Flynn led the way.

Lin Wood stating Q is the truth and that the Clintons, the Obamas, the Bidens, and the Bushes are all involved in sex trafficking.

(11,885 posts)And loses his license, he'll continue doing this, and others with do this too. He needs to be made an example of, and have severe consequences. He needs to face a judge to answer for this nonsense, or this type of behavior will escalate. He's copying trump by accusing others of what trump and republicans have been accused of being involved in. Trump is notorious for using that tactic against opponents.

(471 posts)...but I struggle with the concept that his audience really, really believe this stuff...
... is it a matter of not finding entertainment on their cable or something....
... surely, surely they must realize this stuff is crap on some level of their being....

This guy knew the effect of his lies and told them egregiously and intentionally. It's one thing to sit in the bar and brag to your 20 closest buddies a what-if rumor. It is another to knowingly broadcast it to thousands as if you speak with authoritative fact, while you profit from spreading the lie.
He may not be the sharpest tool in the box but he knew the effect of his lies. Fraud is Fraud. Other people could reasonably sue him based on it. The Sun and other rumor sheets have been, as have several of our more popular conservative pundits. The point is not whether he was "entertaining" with his pernicious gossip. It is the harm that it has caused.
It is not one or two comments but an entire string of conspiracy theory intended to provoke real violence and reaction. Yelling fire in a theater is one thing and you can be held responsible for the damage. This guy built a platform to yell in the largest megaphone but one with the specific intent of stampeding the sheep. Lots of harm and intended harm there to pursue.

(16,254 posts)When are they going to release Epstein's little black book? We need the list, no matter who is on it.
My second thought is that Q is being prompted and financed by Russia. These people aren't going to get up and make absolute fools of themselves out of their beliefs, it's for money and power.
If Russia can keep us divided, they win. They will destroy us without a gunshot. Look at all the Russians who are being sent out of the country. The Czechs also threw a bunch out. How much damage have they left behind?
Trump did most of Putin's work for him. Now, all he has is hate and an incredible following to keep the hate growing. Trump never succeeded at anything, but he's doing a pretty good job of that.

(24,396 posts)sex as something evil, even between consenting adults. So in true hammer in search of a nail fashion, they contrive that their evil opponents must themselves engage in the evil of the sex act on some level. So as long as theyre at it, might as well include child abuse as a charge, as that makes the evil of sex even more evil.
