>what did Q mean by 'time to return publicly'?
I see two interpretations:
-
Q have been lurking and posting as an anon for most of this time when we thought they have been relatively silent. They are going to start using the tripcode again and return to 'official' drops.
-
They are about to force The Question and officially acknowledge Q at a Whitehouse briefing or otherwise bring Q into the normiesphere.
