    It seems it's indeed possible for a widely-hated, astoundingly aggravating president to be exonerated by agents of "the deep state." That's not something recent right-wing commentary would have led you to expect, and it's further cause for gratitude.

By the way, is that Qanon thing still going on? I haven't heard anything about it in months.

    On the right, many will view this as an opportune moment for scathing indictments of the liberal media and the FBI.

Wait, what did the FBI suppsoedly do now?

Something Awful shenanigans look like ShitRedditSays, they're not funny unless you're a goon yourself. The Discordians on the other hand

I dunno. Niall Ferguson has a whole book on the Illuminati where he takes it all the way back to the Grand Lodge. And I would argue that the sophistication of goonplay has gone up with the average age of goons. Your point is well taken, however.

Huh, so apparently QAnon is still around, and some people somehow still have faith in him.

I'm really hoping that fourth story resurfaces when she's up for reelection. It could make for some amazing attack ads by her opposition.

The locksmith at my grocery store has this poster up:

It is legit outsider art. I want a copy, I just don't want to pay for it, or remunerate those involved in its creation in any way.

There's an ArtHouse logo at the bottom. Is it this Arthouse, or is there some other company named ArtHouse that caters to conspiracy theorists?

Wow. Yeah, I can see why you'd want his art, and I can see why you wouldn't want him to have any of your money.

I refused to believe anyone who hangs that poster up isn't in on the joke.

You'd have to see the other posters.

Dude my wife used to work with this guy. They literally hired him because he was available and he knew Office. And while the California Naturopathic Doctors Association was trying to put together a pro-vaccine policy statement, he went off and headlined an encounter cruise with Andrew Fucking Wakefield. Fortunately for everyone when they called him on it he resigned in a huff so they didn't have to pay him unemployment or fight a wrongful termination claim. I have watched, with my very own eyes, the anti-vax movement go from "parents concerned about a Lancet article" to "parents who read rolling stone" to lunatic-fringe fearmongers.

An Andrew Fucking Wakefield encounter cruise.

so much crazy.
