But he is a republican endorsed by trump. So even republican voters who don't follow politics know he will be a good robot for the cause.

He'll fit right in with MTG and Boebert then.  A predictable idiot.

Nevermind the fact that the Rs want to gut Medicare (Ron's health insurance), Social Security (Ron's income) and the VA (Ron's alternate health insurance).

I do believe the phrase "cutting off one's own nose to spite one's face" would apply here.

If Walker does vote against those things, their narrative will be:

1) "Good for Walker for voting against socialism and abortion.  There was something in there for women's health, and we all know what THAT is a euphemism for!"

2) "BIDEN CANCELLED MY INSURANCE!"

Problem solved.

trump is now going full Q. Last week he wore a Q pin with a slogan under it stating “The Storm is Coming.

” At a weekend rally they played a song exactly like a QAnon song "The Daily Beast’s Will Sommer — said it is titled “WWG1WGA” after the QAnon slogan, “Where we go one, we go all,” and is affiliated with the movement. The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman speculated Trump may have used a song titled “Mirrors” by film and TV composer Will Van De Crommer. But, as a music professor who analyzed “Mirrors” after Trump used it in a video told Vice in August, the two songs are “identical.”

While his supporters now identify him as a new "Jesus" “These are people who have elevated Trump to messiah-like status, where only he can stop this cabal,” Bloom told the AP on Thursday. “That’s why you see so many images (in online QAnon spaces) of Trump as Jesus.”

Evangelicals have not explained yet how they propose to worship two "gods". But I'm sure Ron or someone will explain it soon.

Yeah but they won’t go after Ron’s benefits because he earned those. They’re just gonna cut the social security if people who don’t deserve it. The bad welfare, not the good welfare.

 

Y’know, like the whole ‘you gotta scrap Obamacare but don’t touch my ACA!’ thing.

That's OK, as long as he's a useful idiot.

That sign could be taken 2 ways:

a) He could be imploring Obama to read the Constitution (future tense).

b) He could be announcing that Obama has read the Constitution (past tense). Which is true! He taught constitutional law at University of Chicago Law School.

They think he's got the best mullet in the trailer park and that Momma/cousin Earlene is one lucky lady.

I believe the lack of a comma means it is option b all the way.

I’m pretty sure Obama can spell. How else would he have faked his birth certificate?

In the end that is all that matters in a Senator. Will they vote the party line consistently? Same goes for both sides.

Think of all the money we could save by just having cardboard cut-outs instead of senators.  All those salaries and office expenses.  And we wouldn't have to listen to windbags like Lindsey Graham.

Well, it's been five years.  That's a slow moving storm.

My abiding reaction to "Q" is that its narrative is remarkably similar to the practice of recreational rumormongering.

When on Red Alert, when we were recalled to base, given a series of inoculations, drew weapons and live ammunition and headed to C141s, everyone wanted to know quite what the hell was going on.

I only knew what I read in the papers, but was asked what I had heard with my (nonexistent) inside knowledge as a contributor to Stars and Stripes.  I'd start off with "look, I really don't want to get in trouble..."  and let them 'pry it out of me.'

"I was bringing coffee to the Staff Officer meeting, and overheard the Major say...," and spin some combination of flashpoint issues of the day into a skeletal scenario including 'the usual suspects.'  I'd then look at my watch to time how long it would take before my narrative came back to me fully embellished, coming from the 'highest authority'.  Though I was often reasonably close in my guesses, the story that returned carried my earmarks. 

What little I know of Q sounds just like someone who assembled a narrative for their own amusement, passing it off to the credulous.

From being around spooks on and off throughout my life, I don't take much of anything about their narratives at face value.  Some of it is spot on, some of it is sort of close, and some of it is made up of whole cloth.  FWIW, John le Carre and Graham Greene were on the job for their whole careers.

Anyone who took the 'Q' narrative at face value is, well, the epithet escapes me.  Naive? Credulous? A complete idiot?  I dunno.

There's the story of the guy who came home from his girlfriend, putting chalk on his hands and using whiskey as perfume.

To his wife's query regarding his whereabouts, he responded, "uh, with another woman?"

She looked him over and said "don't tell me that, you've been out with the guys drinking and shooting pool all night.  You can't fool me!"

Similarly, if any of the sources claiming to be "Q" actually have inside information, it certainly isn't what is published by them.

The best that Q had to offer was that it gave some measure of hope to 50% of the common folk. We know that the other 50% is flat out lying to us.

The best  that Q had to offer was a claim of a pedophile ring run from the basement of a pizza parlor that doesn't actually have a basement.

Q - the  information source for the terminally gullible.

Thankfully, I don't think its anywhere near 50 per cent that fell for it. Just the extremes of the bigoted, the gullible, and the not so bright.

You know that Q is flat out lying to you. So that’s…. a good thing?
