Some of the beliefs held by geek club members...

* Democrats lead a global child trafficking ring

* Trans people are trying to indoctrinate our youth

* Vaccines are fake, big pharma conspiracy

* Ivermectin cures covid

* US funded biolabs in Ukraine

* Putin was justified invading Ukraine

 

QAnon shares these same beliefs.  Did gek club members get these beliefs from QAnon?  Did GC get them from the same source that QAnon did?  Either way, you would think that someone that believed in this stuff would embrace others that think just like them, so why pretend that QAnon doesn't exist?

The us did fund bio labs in Ukraine.  So if q anon said something true that means it isn’t? If you were trying to cover up that they did you would paint it with the q anon brush. But it doesn’t work. Only idiots think that way. Hi idiot.

I haven't kept up with QAnon since the election, and even then only briefly, and only out of curiosity to see what the fuss was all about. I know that the global child trafficking ring was tied to them, but I didn't realize all this was too. I presumed they faded away when the plot to reinstate President Trump never materialized. Put me down for the trans people trying to indoctrinate our youth one. I don't know if the US funded the biloabs in Ukraine, but if so, I doubt it was anything sinister. I suspect upwards of 99.9% of biolabs are doing something similar to trying to cure cancer rather than develop a more lethal form of Ebola.

I remember reading the Q drops stopped, but the theories persist.  Yes the US funded biolabs in Ukraine, same as we did in many other countries, it's not a reason for Putin to invade.

You're misguided on the trans thing.

Lol… I could lose 100 nonsensical liberal things and just say that CNN pumps them out. What’s the difference?

as far as your list the US did fund bio labs. The left has most certainly is trying to have our kids indoctrinated in schools either through racial guilt or LGBT issues. vaccines are fake? This never happened. There was skepticism on the effectiveness of vaccines which by the way the left didn’t exactly help with that not to mention that many minorities were not on board with any sort of government type medicine. That was never a strictly Republican issue by any means. 

give me one post we had a republican say that Putin was justified going into the Ukraine on here. 
 

to get to the point of the original post. Liberals don’t like it that conservatives are on Twitter. They just don’t like it that they have a say. They are perfectly OK banning speech they don’t agree with and then try to come off as the good people.

We have people here that have said the vaccines are 0% effective.  We have people that say they are not even a vaccine.  And yes we have people that have said that Putin is the good guy, he's fighting Nazis, Ukraine asked for it, absolutely.  It's all here.

I agree that most liberals do not like to have their opinions challenged, as do most righties.  The liberals are probably worse, but both sides so it.

Things this big always take a few months to close. I'm working on a project now that one business is buying out a portion of another business. It's complex and takes a lot of work (moving very specific data to other servers, etc)  but the deal is done and the part that was bought, in a couple months, will be fully run by the purchasers. 

It's never as easy as a quick switch for things like this. Doesn't mean anything will break down though.

Musk's Twitter Purchase Fails After 138,000 Board Votes Found Overnight

SAN FRANCISCO (CA) -- Elon Musk’s bid to purchase Twitter came up short after 138,000 board votes were found at 2 a.m., a company spokesman confirmed Tuesday. Musk had been in talks to purchase the company for $44 billion. 

“We really thought Musk was going to pull this one out,” said Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal. “The yes votes had a strong lead when I went to bed last night, but that was before we counted all the mail-in votes that one of our employees found in locker 142 at the bus terminal.” 

When the final votes were tallied, the takeover bid failed by a final tally of 10 votes for, 138,000 votes against. While the final result came as a shock to most observers, Agrawal said the election was fair. “Twitter takes election integrity very seriously,” he noted. “I can confidently say this was the most secure election in American history.”
 
A shocked Musk took to Twitter Tuesday to express his outrage. “Those ballots…that’s a whole big scam,” Musk tweeted. “The only way I could have lost is if this was rigged! I refuse to accept the results of this vote!”
  
Musk later tweeted that he was planning a demonstration at Twitter headquarters on May 6 to protest the results. His account was then permanently suspended by Twitter for questioning the integrity of the election.
