Happy Birthday Fallacious Trump!  This is the second of our birthday presents to you - the second episode of our Q Anon Book Club! 
 In our second Q Anon Book Club episode we look at some of the best proofs Q followers (or 'anons') can come up with, which - as far as they are concerned - prove Q is real to a statistical certainty. Of course, the Q community is big on not being sheeple and doing your own research instead of taking anyone else's word for it, so Jim didn't take their word for it and he did his own research. Suffice it to say that Jim gets a bit angry in this episode at just how pathetically easy it is to debunk the best proofs Qnatics can come up with. Enjoy!
