MILWAUKEE President Donald Trump was more than halfway through his speech at a rally in Milwaukee when one of his hand gestures caught the eye of a supporter standing in the packed arena.
The 51-year-old woman believed the president had traced the shape of the letter Q with his fingers as a covert signal to followers of QAnon, a right-wing, pro-Trump conspiracy theory. She turned to the couple on her right and excitedly asked, Did you see the Q?
He just did it? asked Diane Jacobson, 63, of Racine, Wisconsin.
Was that a Q? added Jacobsons husband, Randy, 64.
I think it was, replied their new friend, Chrisy. The Geneva, Illinois, resident declined to give her last name in part because she said she wanted to avoid negative attention.
The Jacobsons met Chrisy and her husband, Paul, hours earlier in the line to get into the Jan 14 rally. The couples bonded over their shared interest in QAnon, which centers on the baseless belief that Trump is waging a secret campaign against enemies in the deep state and a child sex trafficking ring run by satanic pedophiles and cannibals.
What started as an online obsession for the far-right fringe has grown beyond its origins in a dark corner of the internet. QAnon has been creeping into the mainstream political arena for more than a year. The trend shows no sign of abating as Trump fires up his reelection campaign operation, attracting a loyal audience of conspiracy theorists and other fringe groups to his raucous rallies.
Trump has retweeted QAnon-promoting accounts. Followers flock to Trumps rallies wearing clothes and hats with QAnon symbols and slogans. At least 23 current or former congressional candidates in the 2020 election cycle have endorsed or promoted QAnon,...

“The 51-year-old woman believed the president had traced the shape of the letter Q with his fingers as a covert signal to followers of QAnon”
that woman is an idiot ... Trump was tracing a covert “O” with his fingers, NOT a covert “Q” ...

Yep.
And the 17th letter is living rent free in “their” heads.
“Durham was assigned by Barr”
You’re right my mistake. Though without the Russian investigation Durham couldn’t do any investigation.
*********************************************************************************
Nope-not really a mistake:
U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions signed an order appointing him to the position. President Donald Trump nominated Mr. Durham to serve as U.S. Attorney on November 1, 2017, and the U.S. Senate confirmed his nomination on February 16, 2018.
We do NOT know for sure what Sessions may or may not have told Durham to investigate. Justice doesn’t announce every investigation they are beginning.
Well, that doesn't really matter, since we're only talking about FR.
True, but we are talking about q drops.
And that is where they are posted.

Thank you for sharing. I found it to be an interesting read. Sorry youre getting so much hate.

Agreed.
Calling QAnon illigetimate reminds me of the great 1941 movie, "Blossoms in The Sun".
It tells the true story of Edna Gladney (played by Greer Garson), who helped orphaned children find homes.....
...... and began a campaign to remove the word "ILLEGITIMATE" from Texas birth certificates.

She didn't want children to ever be referred to as illegitimate ever again.
Makes sense
The internet is massively full of anti-semitism.
If you’ve ever played online games or spent any time in chat rooms with younger people (say 40 and under and especially post college down to middle school) It’s fashionable and cool to be horrendously anti-semitic. Their communist godless teachers have spouted it and they’ve picked up on it. It’s quietly taught with as much fervor as global warming.
So what you see on the chan boards and the Zero Hedge comments and in random Discord chat rooms and everywhere else... yeah, it’s THAT bad. Remember that most people online are NOT anti-semitic but the ones who are are loud and bold.
Someone asked Trump, “Do you know who Anonymous is”? Trump replied,”I don’t want to say, but you’d be surprised”.

The fact that Trump has never denounced the hated Q speaks volumes.
The fact that no reporter was willing to ask him also spoke volumes. Imagine, a chance to embarrass Trump and they passed on it. 1000s of stories written about Q and not one person willing to confront Trump.
btw, there was a huge Q proof in Trump’s speech last night. When he talked about Concord and made a Q gesture. It corresponded with a drop earlier in the day.
Thanx for the input, I appreciate it.
PRESIDENT TRUMP FINALLY ASKED “ DO YOU KNOW WHO IS QANON?

Never mind..
“Do you know who Anonymous is?”
was the question.
