    Hello Tranquillus in Exile,

    Trump's motive is clear enough: self-serving as always, he wants to maintain credibility with his followers as the one who can never lose, and he doesn't give a damn what harm it does to the country. He may even have come to believe it himself.

    In a society as free and open as America, it's difficult to see what can be done to stop people who are determined to spread lies, especially if they have a receptive audience. That's why I say that an independent commission should be set up to examine these claims and clear them up once and for all.
    We wish it could be so easy. A commission could be set up, but it won't settle things once and for all. If it is set up by Democrats, Qheads will simply dismiss it as part of the 'deep state.' If the commission includes Republicans then it will ensure the Qanonsense issue is not resolved.

    Hello midcan5,

    Wow. This is a very interesting story:

    So this guy tried writing fiction where fiction is normally marketed, ran into dead ends, and then proceeded to write fiction for a completely new market, and made it pay big time, earning over $150,000 spreading lies for profit.

    No wonder this whole Qanonsense has spread so far and wide. Spreading it is a huge profit generator!

    I was glad to see comment on topic.

    Considering the youngest baby boomer is mid-50s this year, I agree that not all of the Qless are boomers; lots of Gen Xers in there too with several Gen Ys.

    The Boomers are retirement age so a felony conviction isn't as big a deal for them. It's a life-changing event for mid-life, middle manager Gen Xers and Yers to suddenly become unemployed for their criminal actions.

    Conspiracies provide a means to belong, knowledge, to be a part of something in our complex world. But for many people they make little sense for soon they are forced to change as predictions fail. This constant change should tell the person something, but instead it often deepens the belief.

    "There is an urgent need to-day for the citizens of a democracy to think well. It is not enough to have freedom of the Press and parliamentary institutions. Our difficulties are due partly to our own stupidity, partly to the exploitation of that stupidity, and partly to our own prejudices and personal desires." Susan Stebbing


    "It’s a commonplace now that we live in a fragmented age of filter bubbles in which everyone can locate a collection of online resources which will reinforce and support their views."

    Well the right will get to prove their case when the civil lawsuits crank up, Powell and Rudy can pull out all their evidence and clear up the matter once and for all, I am sure it will be interesting seeing all their "evidence"....ROTFLMAO!

    Yes, I have to say she truly was a hoot, but then again she is also the gal that sits down next to you at the bar and after 5 minutes of listening to her talk you excuse yourself to go to the rest room and instead get in your car and burn rubber to get as far away from her as possible.

    Crazy chicks with big tits were always my weakness.

    For that matter, crazy chicks with small tits too.

    The secret is to not piss them off. Figure out a way so that they dump you.

    I passed her on to another guy, I warned him, just like I had been warning, but darn she she one good looking woman, so he like the rest of us let our guard down then the crazy comes out. Nope, I will pass on crazy, but some never learn.

    Great plan!

    It's the good looks that hook guys. Obviously they'd never go near a crazy woman who looks like 60 year old meth addict...at least not for long. LOL
