QAnon in Meltdown After Biden Inauguration: 'We Need to Get to Go Back to Our Lives'© TheWrap Jake Angeli QAnon Shaman Capitol riot
Joe Biden took the oath of office today and is now the 46th president of the United States, which means the apocalypse that Trump-supporting QAnon cult predicted would prevent him from doing so failed to happen.
And well, they're really not handling it well now that de facto leader Ron Watkins himself threw in the towel on Wednesday shortly after the inauguration. "We gave it our all, now we need to keep our chins up and go back to our lives as best we are able," Watkins said in a message board post. "We have a new president sworn in and it is our responsibility to respect the Constitution."
Watkins was a former administrator of the 8kun (formerly 8chan) message board and both he and his father are suspected of being Q, the as-yet-unidentified creator of the movement, so it's a sign of defeat that he's asking supporters to stand down.
One of QAnon members' main theories was that a biblical rapture of sorts or "storm" would rain down on the country during the inauguration at noon on Wednesday — when forces amassed by Trump would appear to arrest Biden and other Democrats on live TV while Trump would be sworn in for a second term.
But Biden's inauguration has left Trump supporters and members of the QAnon cult confused and angry, as the "new world order" they predicted would be ushered in failed to appear.
"This will be remembered as the greatest day since D-Day, historians will be writing about this for centuries," one QAnon member using the alias Bubba1776 said in the QAnon message board, captioning his post "the Storm Hits in 45 minutes, Victory at last!"
The QAnon conspiracy theory began on the anonymous chat board 4chan, but now adherents generally network on a fringe message board called 8kun (formerly 8chan). QAnon supporters believe, without evidence, that Democratic politicians and their allies are running a pedophilic, Satan-worshipping cabal across the globe, while President Trump and his allies are fighting to stop it.
The QAnon cult has spurred numerous violent acts, including the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, which caused five deaths and resulted in hundreds of arrests.
The insurrection was planned in part on QAnon message boards, and fueled by Trump encouraging his supporters and "patriots" to "stop the steal" of the 2020 election based on his unsubstantiated, widely discredited claims that he had in fact won re-election. Many QAnon fringe theorists including Jake Angeli, known as the "Q Shaman," attended the Capitol riot.
QAnon may fade, but racists, and white supremacy types enabled by Trump & Co. are still at large and dangerous.
Those whackjobs have been among us for a long time but now that they're 'out in the open', enabled, like you said, behind their dear leader, their cause celebre, it's like a monster that was created by and unleashed on us by tRump and on the Capitol as a final punishment for him losing.
They walk among us, and they BREED. Although there are lots of prisons in the USA, there are far too few insane asylums. Too many are flying over the cuckoo's next.
But hopefully they will slink back into their holes, only peering out periodically, waiting for the next Trump (or Trump-like) to be elected.
An apocalypse??? These guys got a hold of some really bad magic mushrooms
No... These types and the more garden variety of Trump supporter are what P.T. Barnum counted on.
Democrats are arsonist, hate the police and are looters.
Sounds pretty much like what you and many other right of center NT members spout on a regular basis. Meanwhile.... back at the ranch!
This is more than some fringe element that needs to be fixed. Some 70 million voted for Don "the Con" in the last election...... Fortunately 78 some million didn't vote for him seeing him for the danger to democracy and America that he is. What needs to be explained why so many millions were willing to follow Don "the con" down the rabbit hole again. My explanation is the acceptance of pro-Trump propaganda widely circulated on Facebook, Fox and other sites all so willing to pass on the lies to make a profit.
I think the majority of these nut cases realize that what their dear leader told them was not true - he told them if they overtook the Capitol - you should check out the complete speech Krishna provided - unreal - that the votes would be overturned in his favor - that it was up to Pence - and when he said that Pence wouldn't do it (what he had no power to do in the first place) they turned on Pence - the 'president' turned them on Pence - 'hang Pence'! - when all was said and done - Joe Biden became President, not tRump.
They really thought what they did would result in tRump becoming President once again and would suffer no consequences whatsoever. IMHO
Get out of your right-wing bubble Goose..... The direction Trump was leading the country was towards authoritarian government.
The truth of matters can be found at BBC news or Reuters. Everyone else should be looked at with a jaundiced eye.
His supporters aren't the brightest
Point them out, please...
I gave you the head of the class, so stop wasting our time by being obtuse and obfuscating. But then again it sounds like you're all in on ignoring the will of the people and the US Constitution. Say it isn't so.
Why do you waste your time?
Are you saying that Trump didn't try to overturn the election? Or are you saying that you never listened to his Georgia phone call?

Like that's some kind of accomplishment.
I thought you would accept the results gracefully.
i'm assuming you are quoting Vic's reply to me. So to any and all, Vic and i had a wager that we would self exile if Trump was or wasn't removed from office. Since i am NOTHING like the former LIAR, FCKN Crooked CROOK, CRONY FONDLING PHONY, and sucker, of Putins' Baloney, i WILL sellf exile for the original term of one month. Trump SHOULD have been removed MANY times Over, but i did not count on the Republican Party Totally abandoning our country, and their moral and legal obligations, cause the 'man' has been proven SO UNFIT, that the bassackwards Repubs, would not acquit, and that is UTTER BULLSHIT. The man was an ABORTION in our White House, just look and C any Section, as he tried to ALTER OUR DAMN ELECTION as he is a PUSS filled PUSSY ghrabbin back stabbin patheticism, gurglin on Putins' ism. I find it totally amusing you had to wait until today to know if it were U or i, but unlike U, without Newstalkers, I WON'T DIE.
Might i suggest working on your 'skills', cause when i returnith, my words are gonna burnith, write through your paltry patch of derm, as eye C me a tad under subcutaneous levels out of control, like a Capitol Tour two weeks Richard Pryor, as someone gonna wind up payin a price for my build up of ire, cause won't go silently into that good night, and the only thing i can guarantee is, I'm NOT Write, cause i left behind, people who thought they , weren;t RIGHT, 'sO sLEEP TIGHT tonight, sleep tight, i'm gone (and so is Aszwhole)Sleep tite for me, sleeptight I'm Gone, and i hope it's a sweet ride sweet ride tonight,e cause i feel i.m going, slowly going
DOWN
Iggy...you will be sooo missed. Be careful while you are on your month long sabbatical, and stay safe. I will be awaiting your return to NT.
Take care my good Friend.
Re-reg as a 13yo nymphomaniac for the duration. Nobody will mind.
I know you're a man of your word unlike the past 'president' and his supporters.
See you in the future Iggy..... Stay safe and healthy my friend!
Iggy and Vic,
These kinds of wagers designed to chase members off of the site are not allowed.
Then you should have slapped my wrist back a few months ago Perrie....
I won't let it happen again..!
C'mon Perrie. It wasn't to chase anyone off the site but a wager on a controversial subject. You don't know what Vic's "punishment" would have been. I suggest much the same (although I know the "punishment was originally for three months and then six) Your position seems a bit petty and over the top. They are adult men after all and if they agreed to it.....................
Your circus, your clowns though I guess.
We already had that. Last I heard he went over to Parler.
Same.
Gonna miss you. Promise you will come back in 30 days a-swingin'
LOL, get back to our lives...Classic
I have to wonder what the two Qanon in congress will be doing.
I have to wonder what the two Qanon in congress will be doing.
Telling (lying) to their constituents what they want to hear in order to keep their seats......
Possibly pretending...that they never said some of the crazy bullsh*t that they did...???
Ain't video a bitch!
Although so many of our right leaning friends here on NT would ignore......... whatever.
We should pray for them
We should send some smoke signal prayers and hopefully they will reach the Creator. If they do, I hope the Creator can read shorthand Cherokee.
I've been doing a Buffy marathon and am pretty sure that by now I could cast a spell on all Trump monsters.
Cast a spell......? Hell, I think wooden stakes, silver bullets, or a sharp blow to the cranium (what you need to do to zombies) is warranted.
Covid-19 hit my mind pretty hard.
Is there a universal remedy for Zombies, Vampires, Werewolves, Mummies, and all manner of X-file type evil?
...... Truth? I've seen it cause republicans, and Trumpers to start foaming at the mouth. All of which correspond to the aforementioned monsters you listed.
That was the old me.
I've heard that the truth can set you free. Not sure what that actually means.
the truth can set you free.
That's what parents use to say when they came home to a broken cookie jar with multiple suspects....
Under those circumstances, I found it useful to stay quiet.
Go Chiefs!
It sucks, doesn't it? Throw chemo-brain on top of it, and you can't remember what you did 5 freaking minutes ago. At least, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Stirring up as much hate and discontent and lies as they can. As long as they are kept off of any committees they can't do too much damage.
That diarrhea of the mouth Rand Paul is another that needs to be put on a short leash and a muzzle.
...Rand Paul is another...
One of Kentucky's finest!!!!
A complete fruitcake that thinks he is worth a lot more than he is.
That's Senator Fruitcake to you Ender....!
F QAnon.
and the horse's patooty they rode in on
Can I get an amen.
If you'll accept it from an agnostic.....AMEN!
AMEN!
AMEN!!
They weren't actually "on" the patooty, more like "in" it...
I am a liberal agnostic. I don't think there is a god, but who am I to say there isn't.
Ditto. Seen some strange things in my day so don't have many hard/fast beliefs.
Sound a little more atheist to me. From how I understand the differences (I could be wrong).
Agnostic = I don't know if there is a god.
Atheist = I don't believe there is a god.
Anti-theist = There is no god.
Tamato, tomatoe.
Actually a fairly big difference between the 3, but if you don't care, that's fine. Just thought I'd point out the differences.
Couple weeks and we won't hear about them anymore
Don't bet the farm on it just quite yet.......
Remember, we weren't suppose to hear about Covid19 any more after 3NOV20 either......
When you have Trump and several congress reps pushing the shit, I think this will be around for some time.
I have often wondered over the past couple years if Q Anon wasnt just a gigantic prank. How could even semi-intelligent people fall for this stuff? But I dont think a "prank" would have traveled as far and wide around the country nor lasted so long.
The far right has been awash in conspiracy nonsense for years. Alex Jones predates Q Anon by a good deal. Sandy Hook, the chemtrails, the Hillary has killed 145 people nonsense, the conspiracy about the Army using empty Walmarts to set up concentration camps, all this stuff is somewhat in the ballpark with Q Anon. But Q Anon seems much larger. Social media has done this to us.
The people who rioted at the Capitol Building were largely a product of conspiracy thinking, if not QAnon directly, then versions of the general mindset that was fed lies by Trump and Giuliani.
There has to be an accounting for this and a reckoning. Maybe a national de-programming.
Unfortunately my niece fell for it hook, line and sinker.
that is a shame
Does your niece have a sub-normal IQ? or maybe just suffers from a mental illness.
No, she is very intelligent and no mental issues that I'm aware of, and that's why it bothers me so much that she fell down the rabbit hole.
Many people are not aware of how clever these professional grifters are. There's a reason they are able to con so many people of average-- even above average-- intelligence out of their money, or fall for other scams. They have a natural gift for fooling people.
And then they hone those skills over many years.
Trump is a typical example. Look how many people he's conned over the years.
He deserves a long stretch in prison (and if the attorneys of The Southern District of New York have their way-- now that he no longer has the protection of his presidency, they will put him away for a long, long time).

How does someone who is very intelligent get sucked into this bs?
I wish I knew.
Yesterday this same niece unfriended me on FB and also unfriended me on her boyfriends page. Now mind you I haven't spoken to her or posted anything on any of her posts.
Her boyfriend posted a he he
on one of my posts, so I did the same to one of his posts but I added I love swimming in maga tears.
She took offense, said some nasty things and added that some people were really sad yesterday (because Biden was inaugurated)...but I zinged her right back by telling her to get her head out of her Qtard ass, also added that I thought (according to her) that trump was in charge of the whole world and I told her to grow up little girl.
Some people are still clinging to their theories. Sad (disturbing) really.
I came across this. Someone was screenshotting posts that were on parlor.
Not a tear shall I shed for that Trumpanze.
What is wrong with people, I don't get it. What person with a working brain would blow all their money on a president...sad days
And to think I use to get miffed at the check for a dollar on tax forms.
Unreal.
Have been in Mensa for many years and there are actually members who supported Trump. Always figured that intelligence didn't necessarily equate to common sense.
"Qtard ass"
You mean mass punishment for 75,000,000 people?
Sounds kinda Russian or Chi-com-ish, probably violates the Constitution and BOR
Yep, put them in re-education concentration camps, sterilize them, force them to pick cotton 18 hours a day, waterboard them, shave off all their hair, feed them pig shit and horse urine once a day, (Surely the China bashers can come up with more good ideas). Oh, this isn't a Xinjiang Reeducation camp it's Auschwitz.
Here is a Uighur Reeducation camp photo.
I think that there's some widely known research about cognitive dissonance where if someone really wants to believe something and then some information comes in contradicting it, that's kind of painful and uncomfortable. For example, as the pandemic has gone on, the evidence has become more and more clear that masks do help stop the spread of the virus. And so you have to find evidence that supports your belief in not wearing a mask. And as the rational scientific evidence builds up against you, the stuff that still supports you is going to become more and more extreme. The only way to find any way of backing up the thing that those people really want to believe is to cling to something very wild, like the idea that the nose wire in a mask is a 5G antenna.
Why Many People Are Drawn To Conspiracy Theories : NPR
You've just been sworn in as President of the United States and this is your statement. What would establishing these things look like under your presidency?
I don't. If you notice, it says "Drakkonis replied to JohnRussell". I was asking him how he would apply his statement if he were president.
Trump had numerous specific chances to denounce Q Anon and instead he played footsie with them. For starters, he should be barred from ever running for office again. There are ways to achieve that short of throwing him in a dungeon.
Sounds reasonable.
There are those on the Dem side of Congress who thought lists should be made of those who supported him and gone after in some fashion. Do you share this view? If so, what would the criteria for being put on the list be and the consequences for being on it? Also, I'm curious about your de-programming policy.
Let me know how it works out : )
There has to be an accounting for this and a reckoning. Maybe a national de-programming.
I searched but could find nothing in regards to that statement.
He never denounced any of the vile supporters - he always embraced them.
"There are those on the Dem side of Congress who thought lists should be made of those who supported him and gone after in some fashion. Do you share this view?

'Lists' - give me a break!
No one wanted to go after them in the way you say - we want them to be held accountable, not for everything to be swept under the rug.

I've been saying it for awhile, social media has been terrible for our species. Aside from encouraging our worst habits, it has also given goddamn lunatics the ability to find and organize with other goddamn lunatics and blast their brain farts out to billions of people.
Well, MAGA is a genuine cult. And cults attract some really, really far out types...
Here's a video that shows a real person-- this is real. She's not an actor.
(Incidentally I discovered this video about twelve years ago when a friend on Newsvine named ""California Girl" although she later changed it) posted it in our Private group called "The Evil Foursome. There were four of us in that group-- myself, Ed (the writer I forget his last name), California Girl, and The Doctori)- I wonder if anyone here was on NV & remembers any of them? Or any of the strange private groups?)

Sprinkler Rainbow Conspiracy • 2,180,240 views

I've seen sprinkler rainbows since I was a kid. I am now 68. What is that crazy bitch's problem?
She's an effing Bim to the bo... an excellent example of what dropping out of school in the 4th grade can do to a person.
The Illuminutti.
The Illuminutti
That's freaking hilarious.
How about:
The Tuttifrutti
Need a contest for the best name for the nuts
I have to admit I stole it from American Dad.
It fits perfectly though.
I guess rainbows were learned about in the 5th grade. A rainbow is caused by sunlight and atmospheric conditions. Light enters a water droplet, slowing down and bending as it goes from air to denser water. The light reflects off the inside of the droplet, separating into its component wavelengths--or colors. When light exits the droplet, it makes a rainbow.
Rainbownatti?
What makes you assume that the MAGA Terrorists who stormed the Capitol were even semi-intelligent?
Seems like every day since then, the FBI has found-- and arreste-- a few more.
And its been easier ti find them than the FBI originally expected.
Why?
Because most of these morons took selfies of themselves breaking the law-- and then posted them on line!
DUH!
All that inbreeding finally caught up with them.
Or maybe online, rather than giving them a forum to express their vile views-- just don;'t fall for their con. Don't answer their taunts-- just ignore them!
(There's a good reason for that wise old saying:"Don't Feed the Trolls").
You cannot even make this shit up...
See, to me that sounds like someone messing around. Pranking.
I have to say I'm not sure of anything about all this stuff though.
These are the same people that think Covid-19 can be transmitted via text message...I put nothing past them.
Not necessarily. Could be anyone at all, just messing around just to see what they can get people to believe. I'd go look at the site myself but I don't want to end up on some list. But I've had this desire to see if I could talk any sense into them.
Yeah, that's it, they're just 'messing around' and what not - like when they 'Stormed the Capitol' because 'It's a Revolution'?
I like the way you edited what I said to better suit your response. Well done.
I also assume these same people know that.....................aw the hell with it. This is like trying to save a fruitcake tied to the back of an armadillo during the Battle of Shiloh.
And yet, when they begin their taunting..and lying...so many peoplemhere have been fooled into believing that youcan have a serious conversation with them!
WakE up people-- they're just here to cause trouble!
IGNORE THEM!!!
And that "just messin' around" left 5 people dead.
Wasn't that an answer from Jeopardy?
(And the correct answer is: "What is trying to save a fruitcake tied to the back of an armadillo during the Battle of Shiloh?")
They still believe that Ed McMan will still show up on their doorsteps with a 2 million dollar check from PCH.
Well done.
Okay, I am going to give humanity the benefit of the doubt and say this is someone fucking with the Q dipshits, but after the last 4 years....
Its ANTIFA!
They're EVERYWHERE!
Be afraid!
Its ANTIFA!
They're EVERYWHERE!
Fact: ANTIFA are Aliens originally from Outer Space.
Yep-- they are Socialist Aliens from outer Space/
They want to take away our freedoms. Our right to not wear a mask! Our right to free speech! Our right to storm the Capitol Bldg.
And worst of all-- they are trying to turn this great land of ours into a Socialist nation!
(OMG!!!)
(Yes, I've posted this video before-- but I wouldn't want to deprive anyone from experiencing the Great Works of Classic Cinema!)
There is this also. If the fascist would just leave then the anti-fascist could just go back to their regular jobs. You know what I mean?
Yes.
But the fascist ain't gonna leave as long as people engage them in conversation or arguments. That only makes them believe we take them seriously. When we engage them in arguments (or "conversation") it makes the think we take their "opinions" seriously.
Morning...glad to hear all went well over there and Biden is now in power. Love these herd mentality mobs... create destruction, chaos and death...but when they come against the National Guard.. don't see them for dust..Speaks volumes about them...onwards and upwards USA...you can do it...
It's good to see you here and yes, it's a great day for America.
Morning Mr Frost...And the rest of the World...We are breathing a sigh of relief too. Hopefully now when I turn on the news Trump will not be headlines...Stay safe and stay well...
I'm going to sleep very well this evening Shona..... Best in four years.
I am hoping your country is as thrilled as the normal people here are that The Trumpster fire has been put out.
Time to pick through the ashes, and rebuild..... better!
Morning..Ohhhh yes. I never doubted for one minute you mob would sort it out. Rumblings of civil war and people predicting doom and gloom and running around like a bunch of headless chooks.
The vast majourity of people in the US are good and decent people and they are also the silent majourity. It is the same here. And if push comes to shove I know who I will have my money on.
There is always going to be that feral element and have their 10 minutes of fame while they think there is safety in numbers. But when it all back fires and they have been thrown under the bus they squeal like pigs..As you are seeing now.. and probably will in the future.
No I never had and qualms about the US or her people..just the lack of leadership...
Thank you for your vote of confidence.
Anoon Thomas... sometimes when things are at their darkest and you are rattled to the core...
A quiet word to let you know..it will be ok is all that is needed. We saw that with 9/11. One man is not a country it is the people in it, that makes it.
And from this side of the Pacific you are not looking to bad...

Here is a closer look at what the president said at a rally of his supporters, which is a central focus of the impeachment case being prepared against him. ( Read it all )
God these people are dumb. Seriously fucking stupid. A Satan worshipping pedophile ring has taken over one of the major parties in the US? And somehow no one caught onto this until "Q" showed up?
We have a hard time accepting a simple truth: They do not think.
They imitate. Their words and actions are copies of their fellows. Their words circulate among them, echoing back and forth... spiraling ever further into craziness.
Yes, But do not despair! There is a cure!

Qanon in meltdown? Really? Meltdown from what? It surely can't be that coiffured hair and tanning booth miracles were their life and sustenance. Hell, they can show up a Mar a Lago for tea and hot dogs on the grill can't they? They'd be welcome, right?
Sister Buzzkill here. I don't believe this 'throwing in the towel' thing for one instant. These people are batshit nuts still high on their success at the Capitol. How many of them have we seen on social media or TV or whatever saying, "We will never give up!"
So this Ron Watkins guy says, "Oh well, you win some, you lose some. Whoopty-flip. Now let's get back to our lives and show Joe Biden some respect." Crazy people just don't flip like that after being immersed in it for so long. Ask Jim Jones or David Koresh or Marshall Applewhite. Oh, wait...
