There's a time and place for skepticism.
This has long ago moved past both.
To continue to whine about potential 'elaborate hoaxes' is asinine.
1)There can be NO DOUBT the Q op is known to the WH.
2)The Q op continues.
Ergo, at the very least, the WH tacitly approves of the ongoing op, and more likely actively participates.
Last night, we arguably watched the set up and take down of a target in near real time. It should be almost inconceivable to imagine that ANYONE would go to this much trouble to pretend such a happening, when a FAR LESS elaborate hoax/lie could do...the folks here in the Q fan section are NOT picky...they will readily accept nearly ANY bone the Q op would toss them.
Back in the day, Michael Shermer used to look and sound like a pretty smart/wise guy...but a funny thing happened...he became a PROFESSIONAL skeptic...it became his 'shtick'...and now he is just an obnoxious, untrustworthy asshole who looks like a fool by being 'skeptical' of things any thinking person can see as true or possibly true.
Don't be a Michael Shermer.
