Just when you thought the QAnon types couldn't get any weirder...

The latest development—among people who believe the world is run by a cabal of Satan-worshipping, child-eating, pedophile half-lizards led by Hillary Clinton which former Republican President Donald Trump is working behind the scenes to eradicate—is truly bizarre even by QAnon standards.

They think Trump will choose John F. Kennedy Jr. as his 2024 running mate.

Yes, that John F. Kennedy Jr.—the one who's been dead for 22 years and who definitely did not rise from the dead and appear at the gathering QAnon'ers organized in Dallas last November to greet his reanimated corpse.

Oh, and who also comes from arguably the most established Democratic dynasty in United States history.

One wonders just how many QAnon prophecies have to fail before these people come back to reality since "completely illogical" or "utterly impossible" are not deterrents.

But what is certain is there have not yet been enough because the idea of JFK Jr. being VPOTUS was all the rage at Trump's recent rally in Arizona.

According to a Politico report on Trump's rally—which was held this past Saturday in the city of Florence, Arizona—many of Trump's QAnon-inclined followers were unfazed by the fact JFK. Jr. never showed up back in November at Dealey Plaza, the site where his father—Democratic President John F Kennedy—was assassinated in 1963.

That's because they now believed he would reveal himself on Monday.

As an attendee told Politico:

“I don’t want to sound too much like a conspiracy theorist but he’s coming back. He’s supposed to reveal himself on the 17th if he’s truly alive. I think we’ll see him.”

Giphy

No word on how that attendee is feeling now JFK Jr. has still not "revealed himself" as of this writing, two days post-January 17.

On Twitter, people couldn't help but laugh at the depths of Trump's supporters' delusions.









But others were downright horrified.



It wasn't just absurd JFK Jr. theories being bandied about Trump's rally.

Politico also spoke to attendees who thought the January 6 insurrection was a staged false flag operation and, of course, the 2020 election was stolen from a President who failed to get an approval rating above 50% in four years.

Looks like it's going to be a long couple years.

After President Donald Trump lashed out at late-night host Seth Meyers on Truth Social over the weekend and called him a "truly deranged lunatic," Meyers responded to Trump’s “ranting and raving” about him with a damning supercut on his program.

Trump apparently tuned in to Thursday night’s episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, where Meyers poked fun at the president’s complaints about Navy aircraft carriers using electromagnetic catapults instead of traditional steam-powered ones. Meyers joked that Trump "spends more time thinking about catapults than Wile E. Coyote."

Girl's Hilarious Reaction To Getting Divisive Candy For Halloween Caught On Doorbell Cam

In the '80s and '90s, kids were raised with the understanding that they got what they got, and they should say, "Thank you," for what they received. This was true for birthdays, holidays, and trick-or-treating on Halloween, even if they got candy they wanted to throw away the instant they turned the corner.

But kids today are much more communicative about what they like and don't like, and they can be brutal in their bluntness.

MTG Just Admitted The Awkward Truth About The Republican Healthcare Plan On 'The View'

Speaking on The View, Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke about sparring with House Speaker Mike Johnson over healthcare—and revealed that the GOP does not have any replacement for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) despite what Johnson and her fellow congressional conservatives tell the public.

Democrats have continued to reject Republicans’ proposed continuing resolution to keep the government open without considering an extension of the premium tax credit that helps subsidize health insurance for people earning between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level.
