@Fishy Fish yes, of course.
@Pedro The Mexican Were you always this stupid or did you study for it.
@Jay Mas And you know this, how? Is there something you want to tell us?
@grandma k. thank you for tolerating my flurry of questions, but if you could boil it down to the one thing that bothered you most about the Capital siege, i would appriciate it?(personaly i guess my general concern(question) about riots across the political spectrum is how do you stop the rioting and deradicalize people without creating more radicals in the process?)
@Fishy Fish I can’t answer that questions but I hope politicians will find a solution.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups- George Carlin
They don’t have no power it’s too stupid assholes in the office probably the office they believe the same s*** that they do nothing they didn’t believe it these people would be nothing they like stupid people that’s why they don’t want to educate nobody that’s why
@Samantha A Croft There are 197 countries in the world. The US has had the biggest economy for decades, and was most capable of dealing with covid, yet 186 other countries have a lower death toll per capita, than the US under Trump. If that’s not embarrassing, what is? You can try to blame the states all you want, but they were asking for federal guidance and coordination right from the start; they didn’t remove the Americans embedded in most countries’ healthcare systems, including China, specifically to provide early pandemic warnings in 2018 (100 years after the last 100 years pandemic) and they didn’t amalgamate the pandemic response team, with several other teams in 2019 causing unnecessary confusion at the worst possible time. Do you know how ALL of the states could have avoided the mistakes they made, including New York? A competent federal plan, like the one Trump ignored from Obama. At the very least, this is Trump’s fault for not recognising the obvious need for a federal response. That is exactly what the phrase “the buck stops with me” means. Trump is stupid AF, and does not care about you or anyone else. He wouldn’t have knowingly exposed his own supporters to a virus he acknowledged, early on, was highly contagious, spreading by “just by being near someone” and deadly for the “wrong person”, specifically like the seniors at the largest retirement community on the planet, that he and Pence held separate unprotected (<-- literally because Trump doesn't like holes in his crowds) rallies at, during the second (only American) covid wave. He was literally the number one spreader of covid misinformation in the world, so he's likely responsible for many more deaths internationally, as well. He is the definition of incompetent, stupidity, narcissism and fraud.
@DJ Jones Yes, he did. He was serious about his point of view and just being logical with people, the fact that it was funny was a sad take on our society. He was just re-doing Lenny Bruce, but he was very serious about it.
the 2016 election is proof of that. They have made their bed to LIE in . Won’t get to vote like that again in 2022 or 2024. The metropolis will find a way around national election laws. They believe its like american idol. press 1 for democrat or 2 to speak to a mental health expert.
“Forget the politicians. You have owners. They own you” – George Carlin
the people who need to watch this are not even tuned in
The people who need to watch this are too busy sitting in front of a computer screen overloading their diminished brain cells on even more QAnon garbage.
CNN is pushing qanon ! They should change their name to QNN !
@Em M trump diehards went to newsmax oan or their uncles facebook feed
@Elisa Baumgarte This where the saying, ignorance is bliss applies.
@Cj Shannon Not true or this CNN video clip wouldn’t exist. Three of the people being interviewed in this clip were previous Qanon cult members. At this time there are probably around 10-30ML Qanon cult members in the US alone. We’d do well to try and figure out how to get them all out of the cult.
This would make an awesome fictional sci-fi movie. Unfortunately, people actually believe these things are true. These people are dangerous.
This is where the line, truth is stranger than fiction applies.
@wagegod Shyne 75 million people voted for trump and you can sure that at least 10-30ML of those people believe QAnon conspiracy theories.

“Why look for conspiracy when stupidity can explain so much”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
@Anthony you seriously believe he was a “pawn”? You are the lefts Q people.
@777gs Gs777 manipulated yes. An actual insider trained agent, no. American right wingers wish to be like Russia. They are allying themselves to them more and more. The left has a similar love affair with democratic socialist countries like Sweden and Norway etc.
@777gs Gs777 5’s and DNF’s… that’s all you’re about.
@Dub Lightyears keep talkin’… educate some of these right-wing terrorists… their whining, crying and melting has gone on far too long.
Why look for conspiracy when you can be comfortable in ignorance being spoonfed by CNN?
Props to the woman who has bought books and had conversations and literally pulled herself out of the cult with knowledge and self reflection. And to admit to it too and trying hard to change. That’s pretty brave.
Excellent comment!
She could do more good now with her understanding of how the dark side works, than the average Joe. I hope she keeps getting her voice out there
@TerryLicia 🤦 That already and obviously did not happen. Do you really think it’s a good idea there shame these people who actually want the truth and seek it out? You know how many people just want their narrative to be confirmed and so they’re losing their damn Minds right now? Your mindset is not helping the problem.
@Bubbles 👈This one has a one track mind. A one-track crazy mind. Just ignore them. You’re not going to get through.
@JRG2733 it’s easier than you think to be sucked into a one-track narrative. Especially nowadays when everything online is Dictated and curtailed to your search history. I’m not condoning that mindset but it’s not like it’s anything new.

@777gs Gs777 Call what transparency? You don’t even believe it.
@Seth yes I do ….
Trump was pretty transparent. He released a phone call with another head of state and released literally thousands of documents to the Russia probe.
@777gs Gs777 Sure didn’t take you long to flip your position.
Media platforms are the masters of illusion. This place is the best country on earth but they make the illusion its the worst.
“You are a dangerous, savage, childlike race” – Q from Star Trek TNG
This!!! I keep screaming to myself – HOW can these people all believe in some unknown, unseen person who goes by the name of “Q” – when Star Trek’s TNG Q was an alien godlike prankster always starting mind game ISH with the Enterprise?!!!!
I mean COME ON!!!! HOW is this possible?!!! Did these people NEVER watch Star Trek TNG????? It makes me Crazy!!!
Because the bullshite they believe is exactly the kind of twisted mess the TV Q would come up with!! LOL!!
But seriously — I do actually wonder about the demographic of Qanon folks….do these people have any connection to having watched alot of sci-fi? Because to me — it’s an easier trek to see how these kinds of ‘beliefs’ take root if a person already had a predilection to these kinds of stories of fantasy. BUT, the fact that many Q cultists are like baby boomers and older — who don’t necessarily watch alot of fantasy entertainment – doesn’t support my ‘theory’.
It’s just the craziest most surreal phenomena that this is actually a political movement turned domestic terrorism. Unbelievable.

👍🏻 lucky you
@R Stedler Thank you very much. I completely forgot that. I have corrected my error.
@Nancy Howard I once saw the Mothers of Invention in Central Park in New York City.
@Nancy Howard Yes indeed, He was a genius, i caught a show when I was a teenager in Maryland, 1977 at the university of MD Cole field house. He had a big ice cream cone on stage.

A financial reset? Where all debt is forgiven? That’s so anti-Republican though.
If a lib or Democrat said that , the right would scream ,” Socialism!”

Seriously, they get all upset when Sanders or Biden task about debt forgiveness and then they are ok with this???
Did it ever occur to you that CNN just might be creating a straw man?

Destined to be a classic and a great title btw…willing to go with “Q & The A” also. You all can probably guess what the A stands for and even more so the who it’d represent
Star Trek TNG beat them to it.
@Stephen Gordon But will the episode be real?
@Anthony only if I sing the imagination song first
And it’s this kind of stupidity that gets religions started. And now, the Trump religion, Orange Jesus.
qanon = govt psyop
0 mass arrests since inception.
@They’re Distorting Your Rhthym 126 Huh? Over 200 people have been arrested for having taken part in 1-6. Of those you can bet at least half if not more are Qanon cult members.
As a joke I got ordained as a Dudeist minister. Turns out I can actually perform marriages in some states. ABIDE!
@Angela Siegfried fail incoming shills
Much respect for those who got out of Qanon and have the guts to do interviews like those.
Not everyone’s big enough to admit a mistake, it takes courage.
It does not take courage to admit a mistake. That’s called decency. Courage is true acts of bravery, like standing up to evil and wrongs in the world at the sacrifice of one’s self. Admission of a mistake should be the standard, not the courageous exception.
I’ll piss myself laughing if Q turns out to be a Russian troll.
Make sure your diaper is on correcting and not on your face haha
You’re gonna need a diaper

When someone tells you NOT to listen to anyone else, STOP listening to them!!!
why are you still listening to CNN then? Don’t you practice what you preach? They have been telling you to not listen to others for the last few years.
But cnn tells you not to listen to fox so that’s a little hypocritical
@Alan aka FANG wow! I’ve never heard that. I watch them and msnbc and some fox. But strictly listening to one station that literally tells you not to listen to anything else- no! Research comes from many sources, not just one! You find the truth somewhere in between.

Critical thinking needs to be taught in school and religion is too close to politics. Religion is used to control people, by people who are not Christ-like.
There’s A way around that. Just get rid of the discrimination of religion. ALL religion after all, white supremacy followed off the heels of this very problem. It’s used buy the U.S. they puts the hand on the stupid book and say “under god” and allowed priest to rape and control anyone they like. And is the sole reason LGBTG had to fight for the rights to marry. In fact just look up far the church has gone there is a GOOGLE. Point is its probably the real reason that we are all in a race war. KKK= God lovers. The only thing humans have to fear is Covid 19.
@Jazmine Miles wise statement
@Jazmine Miles real Christians don’t fear death but you do! Lol 😇
