We really don't know what almost certainly happened.  The phishing/scam scenario seems to be what they are currently going with.  Hopefully that is the truth.  It would be sad to see that he was downloading the stuff, and hopefully their IT people can verify the scam story and come completely clean with the truth regardless of what it was.  But I have been shocked by the truth in such stories before. 
If there was actually child pornography on his machine, law enforcement would be involved, not the NYT IT people.

 
What was scandalous about the Uranium One deal?
All these talks are just useless political stuff - Trump Tower Aras Agalarov Uranium One Clinton and so on. The main reason of all of these talks was demonizing a political opponent. Actually it was the mixture of politics and things which are not related to it. It’s no longer relevant today

 
I wonder if the Qanon types think that the coronavirus threat is a hoax, and if so, what do they think about the President buying into said hoax?

I've seen a post on /r/conspiracy from the Q folks that the coronavirus is a coverup so Trump and friends can arrest all of the pedophiles world wide. Tom Hanks, etc. are not actually sick, they're just under house arrest after having been charged. Utterly detached from reality.

 
I have a QAnon-themed list on Twitter that I sometimes check in on, but it’s filled with stuff like this at the moment.

Serious question.

Do you PERSONALLY know someone diagnosed with Coronavirus aka Kung Flu aka VaChina Virus aka The Liberals last Hope?

I don't care if you know a guy who knows a guy.

I have yet to engage a single person with first hand experience.

Anyone?
I don’t care to keep reading.

(But also, there are apparently NEW Hillary emails.)

So apparently these losers are back to spreading crap again.  if you are wondering why pizzagate is trending again, apparently the theory is that when celebrities like Tom Hanks, Charles Barkley, and Oprah Winfrey are quarantining  themselves they aren't really they were actually arrested on pedophile charges and in house arrest

Odd how Hanks is tweeting things from an Aussie hospital while on house arrest...I guess his punishment is also forcing him to eat Vegemite?

 
How feasible is it that Trump will stoke the flames here by sayingnotsayingnudgenudgewinkwink that he is either Q or in with Q?

 
This can be partly explained by the popularity of the incumbent, and partly explained by having a 4-way race in which 3 of the candidates are relatively indistinguishable and likely split the vote. (Nonetheless, the Q lady did get nearly 50% of votes.)

Still, it's pretty embarrassing for the Republican party to have an avowed conspiracy theorist as a major national candidate.

Is QAnon the newest American religion?

Bonnie Kristian

QAnon adherents, insofar as I've seen photos of them at President Trump's campaign rallies or attached to reports on the conspiracy theory they profess, are remarkable mainly for how normal they appear. They look like Midwestern moms or the guy in your neighborhood who lets everyone borrow his pickup.

Still, QAnon isn't mainstream, at least not yet. A CNN poll published last month found 76 percent of Americans have never heard of it. But QAnon's affection for Trump and visibility at his events are raising the theory's profile — and the QAnon movement is evolving in a curious way: It's spawning a new religion, maybe even the first of new breed of religious organization in America.

The QAnon movement started on 4chan, an anonymous message board influential in online culture but generally considered outside the bounds of the respectable internet, not least because it has repeatedly made the news in connection to child pornography. That makes the site an odd first home for QAnon, whose narrative centers on a cabal of powerful figures in government, business, academia, and media who make time for child sex trafficking and satanic sacrifice in their busy schedule of world domination. Q is the movement's anonymous digital prophet whose forum posts ("Q drops," now migrated from 4chan to a similar site called 8kun) reveal both the nature of the cabal and Trump's heroic plan to defeat it. QAnon's most fervent followers reach a point of obsession, clinging to it even at cost of total estrangement from their bewildered families.

An in-depth report on QAnon in The Atlantic's June issue closes with the suggestion that QAnon could become the latest in a series of "thriving religious movements indigenous to America." But research from a Concordia University doctoral student, Marc-André Argentino, shows the church of QAnon alreadyexists and seems poised to spread. Argentino attended an online QAnon church where, he reports, two-hour Sunday services with several hundred attendees consist of prayer, communion, and interpretation of the Bible in light of Q drops and vice versa. The leaders' goal, Argentino says, "is to train congregants to form their own home congregations in the future and grow the movement."".....................

 
Oregon has straight lost its collective mind.  Un. Real.  So should the DEM’s put up a flat-earther to run against her?

 
What they did is nominate Jo Rae Perkins, a financial adviser and self-professed QAnon conspiracy theorist. In a video posted to Twitter following her victory, Perkins said this:

"Where we go one, we go all. I stand with President Trump. I stand with Q and the team. Thank you Anons and thank you patriots -- and together we can save our republic."

Given the chance to deny or refute all this, Perkins didn't just double down, she launched herself fully as a Q candidate. In 2008 the Demos really played up people like this (whackos) running in NV, MO & DE which helped them run the table to take the Senate.

This is possibly my first post in the political forum, because this Qanon stuff is fascinating to me.  I have a couple facebook friends who post pretty much every ridiculous conspiracy theory they see.

However, doesn't this act by Twitter just fuel them?  What is it that Twitter is trying to do?
I think the whole point is to blunt dissemination, propagation on that platform. That's certainly going to be the effect of it if it's carried out efficiently.

A similar thing happened with /r/The_Donald on Reddit -- they finally "quarantined" it sometime last year (prevents it from appearing on anyone's feed without being subscribed) and the traffic plummeted to the point that they "took their ball and went home" by making their own forum and moving off site. Their numbers have greatly reduced as a result. Even for Q specifically, Reddit also banned their subreddits a couple of years ago at this point. You basically don't see them around at all anymore. Hopefully the Twitter ban further disperses them (though, Facebook surely never will remove them so it isn't going to go away).
