Saying "hey law enforcement, everything I posted was just satire" is not a good legal defense.
I was joking I'm in the same boat as you as Pubs are shut.Lucky b*stard all the pubs round here are shut
Followers of the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory are divided after Joe Biden's inauguration confounded their predictions that Donald Trump would remain president in order to punish his enemies in the "deep state".
Many reacted with shock and despair as Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th US president.
I don't know if this paints a realistic picture but anyway... Qanon followers disillusioned by lack of success in stopping Biden.
Biden inauguration leaves QAnon believers in disarray
... In my understanding, court martials are purely military courts, and civilians such as the new President could not be convicted by them. So how would this work? ...
Either way its complete nonsense as what he is being accused of is none of the above lolYour understanding is correct (in the US legal context). The person making the surreal claims you cited was no doubt referring to a military tribunal rather than a court-martial. A military tribunal is a judicial process in which enemy combatants or POWs accused of war crimes are tried. Such tribunals are associated with offenses arising during war (including war-like engagements such as the so-called 'war on terror').
Military tribunal trials of US citizens are generally prohibited, because the Supreme Court ruled them unconstitutional following the Civil War. US civilians acting as enemy combatants in a recognized war (or war equivalent conflict) can be detained, but they cannot be tried by a military tribunal because the tribunal process falls short of observing the citizen's constitutional rights.
As long as the US civilian court system is functional in the given jurisdiction, a US civilian basically cannot be tried by a military tribunal.
And she sticks the landing – and is rewarded with a nice shot of dopamine as a massive rationalization washes over Tiffany’s brain, erasing all that nasty cognitive dissonance. How long can this be sustainable? Indefinitely – the Q-conspiracy will evolve, adapt, and morph into whatever its adherents can make up to keep the narrative going (people are clever this way – just look at the final season of Lost). This is a real concern, because Q has already demonstrated a willingness to engage in violence and to undermine our democracy. They have been radicalized, and are now a loaded weapon ready to be exploited by the next puppet-master.But after a night of processing the day’s events by reading QAnon promoters’ posts, she said she believes that everything is still humming along according to plan — and that Trump’s election loss was all part of Q’s master strategy to expose the evildoers who corrupted the vote.
“Things have just started,” said Tiffany, who spoke on the condition she’d be identified only by her first name for fear of harassment. “They had to ‘commit’ the crime to fully lock the deal.”
They should have. As far ago as 2016 a man armed with a shotgun entered a Washington pizzeria looking for kidnapped kids (y'know, the ones Hillary kidnapped), which could have turned very nasty.I don't get how this wasn't crawling with intelligence people monitoring it for years, to be honest. Did they seem like such fruitcakes that they weren't even perceived as potential terrorists/a threat?

It's probably best not to conflate Qanon nutter types with ordinary conservative people.Sorry for some (unavoidable) politics, but this hypothesis might be valid:
A decade ago, we learned Cleek's Law: Today’s conservatism is the opposite of what liberals want today, updated daily.
QAnon warps that for a conspiratorial age: Today’s conservatism is the opposite of what we think liberals want today. They always thought we wanted to take their guns and subject them to an anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-God, anti-heterosexuality totalitarian dictatorship. That's what they believed before QAnon. Now they think we want to rape and mutilate children for the adrenochrome, and so we can wear their faces as masks. Someone in the Q-sphere, I assume, will tell them we want even worse things.
They'll keep believing. Maybe they'll decide that the hero who'll rescue them from us isn't Trump, but Mike Lindell, or Greene herself. But as long as they hate us, QAnon will never completely die.

'Jewish space lasers' gets a WTF reaction from me.What you say is correct of course. But the text above makes an interesting and even testable prediction on the future of QAnon. And it makes an interesting distinction between resistance to "what progressives think" and "what QAnon thinks progressives think". That's why I posted it. I suspect ( and secretly hope) we'll get to enjoy "jewish space lasers" for some time to come
Whether you call it price gauging or simply opportunistic marketing, big rate hikes make sense on several levels. For starters, the hotel may be leveraging its appeal with QAnon followers to bring in more money during these tough pandemic times. ...
Profiting from the latest QAnon nonsense.
QAnon, like any good conspiracy movement or cult, adapted quickly to failed prophecy. Adherents now believe that the date of the second coming of Trump, and his reinauguration as president, is March 4. To profit from this, Forbes reports, Trump's D.C. hotel has hiked prices on that date. Would you pay $1,331 for privilege of spending the night there on the big day? Suzanne Rowan Kelleher:

QAnon Thinks Trump Will Become President Again on March 4 (vice.com)
QAnon has started to merge with even more extreme conspiracy theories, including the “sovereign citizen” movement.
"Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 19th president of the United States on March 4, 2021.
This is the latest conspiracy that QAnon followers have embraced in the wake of President Joe Biden’s inauguration last week, and extremist experts are worried that it highlights the way QAnon adherents are beginning to merge their beliefs — about the world being run by an elite cabal of cannibalistic satanist pedophiles —with even more extreme ideologies."
How supporters will deal with yet another disappointment on the 4th remains to be seen.
Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 19th president of the United States on March 4, 2021.
How can he be the 19th president when he's only just finished being the 45th? Colour me confused. I know this is QAnon but even so, their number work is rubbish!
Who ever said Qanon ever made any sense, of course he is going to succeed Ulysses S. GrantHow can he be the 19th president when he's only just finished being the 45th? Colour me confused. I know this is QAnon but even so, their number work is rubbish!
I suspect it's the Vice.com reporter evidencing carelessness. Doesn't seem to be a quote.How can he be the 19th president when he's only just finished being the 45th? Colour me confused. I know this is QAnon but even so, their number work is rubbish!
