Hey Cranky,
In regards to the polarity point discussion...
...This marks at least half a dozen times that I've seen POTUS make remarks that seem to echo something someone here has said. I know it's been said before, but I'm pretty sure these guys follow this thread series.
Howdy Prez! Our thoughts are with you and you're making us proud!
It gets worse. On October 3, New York Times columnist Frank Bruni and Politico chief political correspondent Tim Alberta both recited language from a DNC press release, verbatim. Bruni (on CNN Newsroom) and Alberta (on MSNBC’s The 11th Hour) each asserted that Vice President Pence’s professed ignorance about the President’s talks with Ukraine did not “pass the smell test,” — only a day after the DNC published a press release titled, “Pence is an Accomplice to Trump’s Abuse of Power and his Denials Don’t Pass the Smell Test.”

Didn't Fat Jerry have a heart attack not long ago? I see him as being the next one to go.

As we've seen, President Trump's ability to use Twitter to send messages to his nearly 65 million followers can sometimes end up burying important news stories. A recent political poll shows 60% of respondents think President Trump's use of Twitter is a bad thing, and 70% say he tweets too much. But there's something Trump has been uncharacteristically quiet about online, an elaborate far-right conspiracy theory that has the president at its center. I'm talking about QAnon. You may have heard of it. There's a person, known only as Q, who's supposedly a high-ranking government insider who drops online bread crumbs to show believers the dark secrets of who's really running the world.
To help me dig into this and how it relates to Trump, I talked with an expert who calls himself Travis View. He uses a pen name to avoid being trolled by the QAnon faithful. He's written about it for outlets like the Washington Post and hosts a podcast that explores and debunks the nooks and crannies of this right-wing fever dream. I asked him to start with the basics.
The basic premise is that the world is controlled by this cabal of Satan-worshiping sex traffickers, and these individuals, they control everything. They control Hollywood and all the politicians and the highest reaches of business and the mainstream media. In the QAnon narrative, Donald Trump knows all about this cabal, and he has been plotting for decades to help take it down. Since he has been elected, he has been working alongside this group of military intelligence officials, known as Q Team.
Right. So they believe that this imaginary Q Team is made up of double agents in the government close to the president, and they're revealing the details of the operation in coded messages. And this is all happening through online message boards like 4chan and 8chan.
That is correct, yeah. They essentially believe that if they can decode these posts from who they believe to be, falsely, military intelligence officials, then they can understand what's going on behind the scenes. That's the broad outlines of the conspiracy theory.
I think that QAnon is surprisingly large, in the sense that there does seem to be a large group of people online who are gathering and sharing notes and trying to spin their own conspiracies online. The actual size of the community is actually unknown.
No, not really. The thing is is that Q very rarely makes really solid predictions. He will imply that something terrible will happen or he'll say, "A big boom week ahead," or Q will say something very vague like, "Watch the water." It means nothing, but since water covers 70% of the planet, there's going to be an event that's newsworthy that somehow involves water, and the QAnon community will sometimes point to that.

White House says next G-7 to be held at a Trump golf resort
WASHINGTON — The White House says it has chosen President Donald Trump's golf resort in Miami as the site for next year's Group of Seven summit. The announcement Thursday comes at the same time that the president has accused Joe Biden's family of profiting from public office because of Hunter Biden's business activities in Ukraine when his father was vice president.

Considering his committee is the one that traditionally does the impeachment thing, I've been wondering where he's been for a while too.
You'd think he'd be front and center on this considering the bad-on he has for Trump.
