On Twitter, at least.

While discussing the two hospital ships, _Mercy_ and _Comfort_, I kept running across how they were there (especially _Comfort_) to rescue children that are apparently hidden in secret tunnels under Central Park by the Clinton family to use as post-birth abortions so some sort of magic potion could be made.

So, I guess, stand by for breaking news or something. Any time now, I’m sure.

Is that why that guy derailed the train in Los Angeles? What kind of idiot believes this nonsense? And what kind of asshole makes it up?

On the flip side. One insane, made-up story I heard is that the _Comfort_ is actually where the authorities are evacuating the rescued kids from secret tunnels under Central Park, and the pandemic is the cover story. The reason a cover story is needed for rescuing thousands of sex slaves is… I don’t remember and anything I make up would be more logical than whatever those escaped mental patients cooked up.

Pretty much any firearms forum that doesn’t start with the word ‘liberal’ will have them.

Yes, there are liberal gun forums.

There was a picture I saw of Obama going viral on facebook around the 2018 mid-terms from pizzagate people. Basically it was Obama giving a young girl of Chinese origin on his lap a cuddle in the Oval Office but they captioned it that the girl was part of a child trafficking gang and photoshopped Obama’s hand to … y’know.

Anyway a reverse image search actually shows the real original photo licensed under Getty with the caption that the girl was the daughter of one of his staffers, his hand in its unedited position and the mother of the girl (the staffer) sitting in the chair right next to him.

It’s easy to laugh it off as “pizzagate” but unfortunately it’s a lot more complicated than that. The QAnon CTers have a very complex intertwined set of conspiracies that would be funny if they weren’t so nuts.

Well, I’ve gone looking and while I’m too wussy to sign up at any of the forums I saw I did run across articles about conspiracy theories.

My goodness, people don’t seem to understand science. One Mother Jones article quoted a claim from anti-vaxxers the said that we should all be able to go outside because sunshine and fresh air “boost immunity” Huh?

And of course Dr. Fauci is being held up as the next thing to the Anti-Christ.

☹

Because of my time zone, I was asleep when it was explained what CT means, and by the time I woke up, it was assumed everybody knew. Can somebody fill me in?

Anti-vaxxers infuriate me, and sunshine is only mildly anti-viral. But where did you get the idea going outside is dangerous?? Going for a walk is fine. In fact, it’s good for you. Just make sure you give everyone else a very wide berth. If you’re too nervous to do that, you can still walk around your backyard.

I thought it was ‘Cheeto Trauma’. That condition you get when your dick turns orange after a day of eating snacks and watching porn.

Heard about it from a ‘friend’.

The stuff about children in underground lairs isn’t even original. It’s just warmed-over allegations from the 1980s daycare witch trials.
