- Our president may be a boorish incompetent, but he's not a traitor. If you've been marinating in left-wing commentary, that's probably unexpected, but it's good news. A dramatic Trumpian exit would admittedly have had its charms. But do we really want to hear that the Oval Office has been occupied by a Putin puppet for more than two years? It's a relief to hear that American democracy isn't quite that sick.
""Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice."
- Arthur C. Clarke
It's worth observing that Mueller's report, whatever it contains, was not about whether the Russians knowingly colluded with Trump, it was about whether Trump knowingly colluded with the Russians.
By the way, is that Qanon thing still going on? I haven't heard anything about it in months. Wait, what did the FBI suppsoedly do now?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.
On the right, many will view this as an opportune moment for scathing indictments of the liberal media and the FBI.

By the bye https://qz.com/1349858/what-does-qanon-have-to-do-with-leftist-italian-authors-wu-ming/ https://www.heise.de/tp/features/Conspiracy-theorists-are-in-the-same-league-as-psychics-magicians-astrologists-and-gurus-4144259.html I am about 95% certain that Qanon is SomethingAwful.
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.
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?
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.
