I should mention that the runners up for Person Of The Year were Qanon and General Flynn, in that order.
But the Donald ran away with it.
Honorable mention for FReeQ of the year went to the FReeQ Lurkers.

Found a blurb on Neon Revolt’s thread @ Gab, that
Guccifer 2.0 not only wasnt Russian or Romanian, but he was likely an op by Crowdstrike. So I checked out the link. Below is an excerpt and link. Article is very long:
“It is a severely under-appreciated point that, despite having access to John Podestas attachments and other documents (and releasing thousands of files), Guccifer 2.0 somehow managed to avoid releasing anything that was damaging to the reputations of Podesta, Hillary Clinton or the Democratic partys leadership.
None of the material Guccifer 2.0 published had a negative impact on Clintons campaign, (though the personas access to documents suggests its operator would have had the capability to do so). Even the documents given to Aaron Nevins made zero impact on the General Election in relevant states.
On the other hand, Guccifer 2.0 did manage to very effectively smear the public perception of the DNC leaks and Podesta emails as published by WikiLeaks, and to generate headlines expressing outrage that funneled attention away from their contents.
Without arguing attribution at all, one could draw the conclusion the party which most benefitted from the actions of Guccifer 2.0 even a Russian Guccifer 2.0 was, in fact, the Hillary Clinton campaign.”

NOTE: A SIDE ISSUE: When I used microsoft e, I was reading the article at zero hedge, and after a paragraph, it redirected to some sort of ad. I couldn’t close it, so just closed the browser, and started over.
This time, the page would not come up, and bing kept intruding with the message that it couldn’t be reached. I try to avoid bing, but lately it has been popping up-seeming to challenge my homepage msn.com.
So I switched to firefox to post this link. Makes me wonder why bing didn’t work.
Thank you to all who voted in this year’s Person of the Year and FreeQ of the year, and to The Oracle for helping us stay together (and play together), as Q has said.
I am honored and humbled by this award, which I gladly accept. When Swordmaker first suggested I try making an ongoing thread, I thought I couldn’t do it because I seemed ill-suited for the task, and I wondered “who would want to post on it?” I recall asking bitt, “What is a ping list?” and something about if it has any moving parts or needs batteries.
I didn’t know, when those of who were posting Q drops decided to throw in together, that you would all be willing to HELP me. When struggling with decisions, so many times I’ve posted or pm’d questions to groups of FReeQs or individuals and EVERY TIME, you’ve come through and helped with advice and encouragement, helping me to learn as we go. Then you rush in like a storm yourselves, to build threads that gallop along with patriotism, insight, knowledge, links, and merrymaking.
THANKQ for this award and THANKQ for your tireless support.
With abundant gratitude,
