Some links to Q-related items today…
MTG: Maybe American states need a divorce.
Marjorie Taylor Greene joins Tim Pool (known for hyping civil war talk) and contemplates breaking the United States apart. I know it's easy to become inured to extreme rhetoric but she's a sitting congressperson who might as well be reading from Stormfront. https://t.co/9qWabqUd8x

The view from the bleachers.
Mark Grenon is the "bishop" of Genesis II, a church that distributes Miracle Mineral Solution, i.e. bleach. While in jail in Colombia, he appears to still be peddling bleach, and has teamed up with a bizarre anti-vax figure named Christopher Key. https://t.co/HY1zcZmcbd
