Get this! Mike Johnson is now claiming — with no evidence whatsoever — that Donald Trump once served as an FBI informant to help dismantle sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network. Johnson told reporters Trump “was an FBI informant in an effort to take Epstein down.”

I’M NOT JOKING!!! 🤣🤣

    This is gonna cause a resurgence of Qanon. And even his “normal” base will lap it up, because now it’s not coming from 4chan, but rather his own speaker.

    This administration is the most insane government I’ve ever seen in a ‘developed’ nation, at any time in the recorded history of ‘developed’ nations. There isn’t even a close second, and it’s somehow worse than Trump’s first term.

    Looking forward to his third term, I’m sure it’ll be great fun.

      He tweeted something last week with a Q in it trying to stir them up again. Mostly to try and throw the deep-seeded maga nuts off of the Epstein files. They are 100% not going to let that go - this is the closest they’ll ever get in their lives to being correct about a cabal of pedos running things.

        I’m pretty sure Q was a “deep state” psyop all along. The whole Jan 6 thing was planned, and I think the perfunctory and relatively toothless response by the government was intentional so that those traitors could later be recruited in their gestapo.

          Deep state? No one in the “Deep State” wanted any of that. The “Deep State” is all the bureaucrats that tell political appointees “no, we can’t because of this law from the 70’s that says it’s illegal…” All the federal employees getting laid off in DC are part of that “Deep State” - you really think someone that processes HR vouchers for AmeriCorps is also running psyops in their spare time?

          The original Q stuff was most likely a 4Chan/8Kun prank that just spiraled into pure insanity and had no reason to slow down or stop. It’s fairly well accepted that Ron Watkins and his dad started it or were close to those who did, and once it built up momentum, just ran with it. It’s not hard to get people, especially conspiracy-prone folks to see patterns in anything once you prime them. It’s literally the basis of how Trump got elected, you give them enough info for the pareidolia to fill in the gaps for them. How many people of that same caliber fly flags where they make a well-known fat gun-hater into a ripped guy holding a gun? Same mechanic. These people are also very prone to getting scammed as well due to the same cognitive shortcoming. Someone gives them dogshit info on an obvious scam and if the right virtue signaling is there, their bias-confirming lizard brain will do anything to belong and donate money or buy Trump-branded BS like the “Trump Card” scam.

          It was definitely a test of their power. Notice the instigators did not face any justice, only the foot soldiers. They also proved the inability to prevent disaster in “the pipe bomb incident” that went unsolved. That did not make anyone in Congress sleep any lighter. It’s also likely why we don’t see much push back. Trump is the fucking mob, and you’ll face the mobs justice if you step out of line.

    Don’t you become an informant when they catch you and offer you the deal; You get to walk free for the crime you committed, but have to risk your life spying on your fellow criminals for the fuzz?

      Trump would 100% take that deal if it was offered to him, without a moments hesitation. He’d also fuck it up within about 30 seconds. Which is why I know this isn’t real.

    Least plausible explanation ever. It makes the 'dog ate my homework ’ seem like a masterclass in defence.

    This is literally an official admission of his guilt. FBI informants do NOT have qualified immunity. They probably brought him in for questioning once.

    So they’re admitting that he’s in the files but that he was an undercover fbi agent, and part of the undercover operation was raping kids… so it’s all good?

    During the first Trump term I was on a local social media website that shall remain nameless. The magats were hands-down the most arrogant, ignorant, illiterate, consistently miserable people I’ve ever dealt with online. Most of them couldn’t spell, capitalize or punctuate, or write even a simple sentence expressing a coherent thought. Apparently they really had no coherent thoughts to express.

    For months I saw nothing from them but lockstep support of Trump no matter what he did. It became clear that magats aren’t smart enough to know what they’re supporting and they don’t care as long as they get to hurt the people they hate. That includes most everyone else.

    I hope every maga jackass gets the get the day they voted for. It’s too bad the rest of us will get the day they voted for too.

    Trump was an undercover FBI agent raping underage girls so he wouldn’t blow his cover.

    I don’t have a doubt in my mind Trump’s mayonnaise brain might now think this is true. Him and reality have never really got along.

    Oh ok, so they caught him pedophiling, and used him like a little bitch to catch more of his pedophile friends while they pedophile together.
