It was just released today. I’ve read the first chapter or so at this point. It seems promising, I’ll be sure to mention anything I find interesting that the press doesn’t pick up on.

Nice! His disingenuous “I was just having fun. What do you mean this was bad?” schtick was ridiculous. I hope they stop catering his meals in.

I actually like QAnon Shaman. He’s like a little kid who goes all out for his favorite cartoon heroes, collects their toys, and lives in his own fantasy world. Now he’s having to forcibly end his arrested development and learn that Trump is just as real as Santa. That’s gotta suck.

Well done, judge. Forty one months, minus time off if he behaves well, is just right, IMO.

Personally, I think 5 years would have been better. Missing half a decade of your life would SUCK. And he deserves it.

I rather imagine that the Qfficial WQrd will be that he’s actually an antifa false flag plant (because no True American Patriot™ would plead guilty). So he’ll never see the inside of a prison: either he’ll be spirited off to a new life elsewhere, or — more likely — he’ll be killed in the basement of a pizza parlor, strangled by Hillary Clinton with the intestines she ripped out of a newborn baby.

“It seems you’re using WePay Payments for one or more of the activities prohibited by our terms of service,” the message reportedly states. “More specifically: Per our terms of service, we are unable to process for hate, violence, racial intolerance, terrorism, the financial exploitation of a crime, or items or activities that encourage, promote, facilitate, or instruct others regarding the same.”

So Chase is betting that angering Don Jr. will not come back to bite them, apparently.

Either they don’t think Donald Senior will regain power—_or_ they believe that Donald Senior _will_ regain power, but will be indifferent to the feelings and thirst-for-revenge of Don Jr.

Sadly, the second is all too likely…
