It's just interesting how everyone this character the Trumpettes all love likes accusing everyone it doesn't like of being in a Satanic Pedophile Deep State Conspiracy, including *checking notes* Kate Bush...
But I looked and I couldn't find a single thing, not one thing, I looked up everything and couldn't find anything about QAnon mentioning Bo Dresner, a precinct chair and former sergeant-at-arms for the Hays County Republican Party who is in jail on a $250,000 bond after being arrested for aggravated sexual assault of a child.
It's just, this QAnon character said he had Q-level security clearance, and I dunno, I'm starting to think that it sounds like it might not be an accurate claim now, you know? (/Feigning surprise)

(10,053 posts)A few months ago Pence came down here to South Florida for a conference, he was greeted by Broward Sheriff's SWAT team that included an officer proudly wearing a QAnon patch openly on his official uniform! To think that a person put in that position (and armed with deadly force and sanctioned to kill) has that crazy mentality is a scary thought.

This past Friday, Broward Sheriff's Office SWAT member Matt Patten wore a QAnon conspiracy-theory patch while greeting Vice President Mike Pence at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Today Patten was reprimanded and demoted from the SWAT team and BSOs Office of Homeland Security.
For the uninitiated, QAnon is the staggeringly dumb internet conspiracy theory that claims Donald Trump is secretly working to arrest a coterie of high-level pedophiles in Hollywood and the Democratic Party. In reality, NBC News has proffered convincing evidence that the people behind the conspiracy theory are actually a group of online con artists on YouTube and 4chan.
So it's troubling that a high-level cop with a gun, the power to arrest people, and authority over Homeland Security and anti-terror-related cases would be dumb enough to believe in the conspiracy theory. RightWingWatch reporter Jared Holt was the first person to catch that Pence tweeted out the image with Patten. After New Times and other news outlets began asking BSO about the cop, Pence even deleted the tweet that included his photo with Patten.

BSO on Friday said Patten's "Question the Narrative" patch was not authorized by the department. Today the office issued Patten a written reprimand, stating the conspiracy theory was "controversial" and made BSO seem "biased" politically. BSO also claimed the incident embarrassed the department and brought negative news coverage in many national and international outlets, including the Washington Post and CNN. BSO is struggling to rehabilitate its image after multiple missteps during the Parkland massacre; this controversy does not help matters.

(7,398 posts)A small white car had a sticker on the left side of the car. It consisted of "Qanon" followed by several numbers. I had never seen anything like that before and was wondering what the numbers signified. Does anyone know? Is it some kind of membership verification or something? I sat there a few minutes hoping to see what kind of nut job would plaster something like that on their vehicle, but no one ever came out. Maybe it was an employee.

Still waiting.
I think Rick Wilson mocks them on Twitter nearly every day (he was supposed to be one of the Never Trumpers locked up)
