A shamwow is valuable, it can polish your car for example. That loser is not. ---

Don’t you mean a chamois? Which kind of brings us full circle back to the fur hat with horns “shaman”. ---

A Shamwow is a cloth version of a chamois. They used to be sold on infomercials by a really obnoxious huckster named Vince. Since the fur hat with horns dude is also an obnoxious huckster we’ve come full circle all over again. You can use both a chamois and a Shamwow to polish your car but I wouldn’t let that sham of a shameful shaman anywhere near it. ---

I remember Shamwow … I was alluding to the horned goat-antelope called the chamois 😃 But your word play is pure poetry! It’s almost sham-eful how easy it is to roll my eyes at the Qanon guy. ---

While your sibilance is undoubtedly excellent, am I the only one who thinks the focus on his hat keeps people from realizing how weird his pants are? They’re like some weird velour pull-up things, with the waist rolled under. And he seems to wear them all the time as part of his costume. > **[The fur-wearing, face-painted 'QAnon Shaman' has asked Trump for a...](https://www.businessinsider.com/qanon-shaman-jacob-anthony-chansley-wants-pardon-from-trump-2021-1)** > > The 33-year-old faces charges including disorderly conduct, violent entry, and illegally being on restricted spaces within the Capitol grounds. ---

> “That’s been a hoax from day one, that was all pre-arranged,” Shirkey said, asserting that rioters “went in on separate buses, that was all arranged by somebody that was funding everyone.” Why is it always “buses”? Like there’s no way we could have infiltrated Fake Trumpers into a public protest without busing them all in. Why do they always fall back on this ridiculous claim? ---
