Are they really getting paid to represent actual American people---those that live here on Earth in reality-land?

It's not like one county - or even the whole state - could possibly overturn an election that was won by millions of votes. Such a waste of time and money, yet still they persist.

on a CIA facility in Germany to uncover massive voting fraud that will show that Trump won pretty much every state except Delaware? What-the-fuck

Can't wait to hear the expose from Mein Pillow's basement

No amount of explanation would convince them otherwise. And now that its shown to be fake, they wont talk about it.

If they can find one error, or create a couple of errors, that is all they need to blow it out of proportion and use it as "proof" for their supporters that still want to believe.

A suit needs to be brought against this group of people to expose all of the specifics. If they are claiming an attack on a corporate site happened in Germany to seize a "server" (please. A server.) then they need to be made to provide evidence of the attack. The background of each person involved needs to be made public - meaning, it needs to be understood that each of them were biased. This needs to be done in a very public way. Not on a show like Rachel Maddow (no disrespect intended. I like Rachel Maddow), but in a court of law with news coverage.

It's good that this is being brought to light, but if nothing further is done to squash it, and this group is allowed to propagate a lie, then further conspiracies will follow. We really need to get a handle on this Q nonsense. This would be a good place to start. Especially since public funds are being used to pay for all of it.
