Said Jones: “It’s not to hurt Trump, it’s so people can know how pathetic he is when you think he is playing 4D chess, going to save you and he’s not!”

What next? Malaria Trump taking a vow of poverty?

This could get excellent if they keep at it. I have a feeling they'll kiss and make up though. It's not monetarily advantageous to either of them to keep bickering.

You cannot court the worst and craziest elements of society and then pull away. Trump lies constantly and says vile shit, but this situation puts him at odds with two important values (lead the mob v get credit for something). He is trying to thread the needle by sticking with the "Get the vaccine, but I wouldn't force you". The crazies are not buying it because he had already crossed that line in the crazy before.

So, people will generally "like what he did for the country" but will see him as being co-opted into "the system" and leave him behind to follow someone willing to go full on crazy. Others will continue to support Trump and do the pretzel logic needed to make the contradictions make sense.

Ultimately, I think COVID or the next Pandemic will thin the herd more than anything anyone says or does. We have a segment of society that is so crazed and out of touch with the shared reality, that only diminishing their numbers will bring some sort of equilibrium back.

When push comes to shove, it is Jones who is in control of Trump, not the other way around. Trump's power base belongs to Jones. Trump, who couldn't care less about their ideology, just adopted and promoted their rhetoric to keep them on his side. He manipulated the mobs, but never controlled them. And now Trump realizes that he works for Jones or else.

Does anyone think that Alex Jones is performing a public service by alerting Trump's supporters of the man's duplicity, his total lack of loyalty?

No really.

Jones is screaming into the wind because Trump will not save HIM as the walls close in on years of conspiracy and cruel garbage spouting. The devoted Princeling is being thrown to the wolves.

Poor Alex. Crying into his pillow at night.

It didn't phase The Cult. Perhaps if it comes Jones, it might sway a few of 'em. But, I suspect that, deep down, most of them probably would not care. They're fine with theft, sexual assault, tax evasion, and god knows what ever else Dear Leader did. They're all just as rancid and disgusting as he is.

He DOES know which closed Walmart's are being converted into concentration camps!




I did a cross country team run with a guy who thought Jones did nothing but preach the absolute truth.

He swore up and down there was a secret tunnel the US Navy had built from the California coast, UNDER THE SIERRA MOUNTAINS all the way into Nevada so that Submarines could get in there and be loaded with missiles. I'm fucking serious. His logic was: Why else would the US Navy have a base in Nevada?

He was convinced that Sandy Hook was completely staged because Jones said so.

He was convinced that FEMA had contracted to have thousands of coffins built for a coming ...oh...I don't know....culling of the herd, I suppose...whatever it was. He actually thought these were coffins;


Hint: They aren't. Those are grave liners. And the Walmart thing? He swore up and down to me that the "Jade Helm" training exercise was a cover for this.

He was convinced that the biblical "Nephilim" were actually real, true giants that lived and there was photographic evidence (Complete Hoax) .

This guy was pretty much onboard with every single line of bullshit Jones would spout.

I spent 5 days with this nitwit in a space smaller than your hall bathroom!

Fortunately he left the firm. Probably digging in his backyard for special tablets or evidence of Hoffa or something.

Never forget that there are millions of gullible people such as this nutcase in this country and Jones has made millions fleecing the fuck out of them.

And some of them are driving that tractor trailer that was next to you on the freeway the other day.

Making shrimp curry over sticky rice.
Then at midnight (Paris time) open a bottle of Mumm.
Five invited. Me, my wife, the dog & 2 cats!
I played every NYE (but one) from 1978 to 2008. The one we didn't gig, the band was only 6 weeks old. So, we threw a party to intro the band at our house.
The last 10 years, we played the same club, which is 10 blocks from our house.
The NYE party started at our house at 2:15am. The band & spouses & 20-25 fans.
Everybody was usually gone by 10am.
We're "New Year's Eved out". We did our part for the revelry.

I especially like this part;

Five invited. Me, my wife, the dog & 2 cats!


Put it on a beach in the Maldives, and you have heaven!

I'll be trying to sleep on the evening of the 31st, as I have a trip to Atlanta on New Years Day morning. I'll be laying over for ten hours then driving back here to JAX, packing, sleeping and then flying to Kansas City on Monday morning where I get to spend at least 3 weeks driving back and forth across I-70 in the wintertime!

But...life is an adventure, if you at least let it be one!

Stay well, safe and happy.

Especially with the flying part.
The I-74 in January part goes without saying!
If you're on I-74 going through Illinois, you'll be about 80 miles south of our house!
Be sure to wave!

Did you guys know that Alex Jones may have information that Donald Trump is a corrupt, lying, fascist, racist, criminal scumbag? Whoa! Did you guys know that? Where would we be without Alex Jones to tell us this?

Sarcasm aside, I wonder if it's dawned on Jones that if he did in fact possess such information, and only chose to release it after the slobfather "betrayed" him by, gasp, encouraging people to get vaccinated, then that would mean he was aware of Trump's true character the whole time he was publicly kissing his ass and could have exposed him, but didn't.

Boy, what a truth warrior, 'eh?
