…today. December 5. Which they call D5.<\/p>\n
I wouldn’t know about this if it weren’t for Twitter.<\/p>\n
On Twitter, several people have noted this delusional expectation of the — what are they? a group? a cult? a mysterious dark force that has taken over the minds of some people? OK, I ran out of possible descriptions for QAnon. But do look at this Wikipedia link. It’s amusing in a This Country Harbors So<\/strong> Many Lunatics sort of way.<\/a><\/p>\n Whatever you call them, QAnon acolytes have been photographed gathering at buses (maybe in DC, not sure), waiting for today’s Big Event: after George H.W. Bush’s funeral, Donald Trump is going to arrest all his deep-state enemies.<\/p>\n Immediately — because my brain has a strong practical component — I started thinking, Is he going to do it personally? Trump wielding handcuffs, an image I have never considered. Trump in<\/em> handcuffs, yes.<\/p>\n Because if he isn’t going to arrest his enemies personally, who is? Generally, I think that’d be the FBI. But Trump’s relationship with the FBI is…what’s the phrase? Mutually hostile, I think. So if Trump calls Christopher Wray, current FBI director, and says, “Hey, Chris, remember me? The guy who appointed you and owns you? Well, my base believes a round-up of my enemies is scheduled for D5…so let’s do it!”<\/p>\n Nyah. I don’t think so.<\/p>\n Maybe QAnon believes that they themselves <\/em> — whoever those selves are, which is a problem with the Anon part of QAnon — have been called from on high to arrest the enemies.<\/p>\n Who knows?<\/p>\n I do not await this mass arrest with any anxiety.<\/p>\n And I’m now finished writing anything about it.<\/p>\n P.S. I lot of Trump’s enemies are at the funeral. Maybe as everyone is departing? Oh, stop. (That’s a message to me.) And I’d better leave this to get back on Twitter and find out who’s getting arrested, and by whom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" …today. December 5. Which they call D5.
