proud boy complains about prison food

[moonshinegnomie]

he called into alex jones and complained saying
"The food (in prison) is horrible. You can't eat the food here. It is not edible in any kind of way."

maybe he'll get used to it over the next 17 years

1. Finding out is a bitch isn't it

[jimfields33]

3. Honestly, if nothing else comes of this,

I’m glad the conservatives are bringing attention to the horrific conditions of jails. Perhaps now maybe something will be done. That Fulton county jail should be completely shut down until a complete overhaul. I think they should have to have monthly inspections like restaurants and hotels do.

[Think. Again.]

12. Thank you for saying that...

...it's crossed my mind too, but then I start feeling that these particular people deserve bad conditions and then I realize how wrong I am to feel that way...

What it comes down to is... intentionally bad people like trump are the cause of so much more negativity and badness than just the direct affects of the actions they make. It's like a poison that just spreads throughout the water supply.

[jimfields33]

15. That is true. Most Trump supporters are currently in jail or finishing up

About 10 will have lasting terms. I’d like to see a huge revamp on prisons. They do not need to be places of hell. Heck, we were basically on home confinement for two years with luxury items like a nice bed, tv, computer and all the food instacart could bring. And I still went stir crazy. I definitely think they could make jails useful as a tool without the nastiness.

[Think. Again.]

20. I agree...

...the public vengeance aspect is damaging to the well-being of our society.

Rehabilition where needed, support of any kind to help people understand the value of living responsibly among others, these are the kind of things the time spent incarcerated could be applied to.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

34. I feel bad for the people who are there on BS charges

And were too poor to get representation that could have freed them, or at least wrangled probation or the like. I feel bad for the people still getting strung up for marijuana, or for stealing from a grocery store because they were hungry.

But the traitors? Nope. Not one shred of sympathy for them.

[Sky Jewels]

67. Agreed.

And if the treasonous Magats were still on the outside looking in, they'd say all those poor Black people who got locked away for possession of weed or whatever stupid "crimes" deserve the horrible conditions and terrible food.

[Warpy]

31. I agree about the inspections

and I think the entitled little snot has a point. Prisons spend most of their budget on security. Food gets what is left over. It will keep someone alive, but just.

[LisaM]

35. The privatization of prisons....

If these interviewers were journalists, they would point this out.

[spanone]

65. ⬆️ THIS ⬆️

In the corporate world, crime DOES pay.

[yardwork]

40. I was just thinking the same thing.

[Marcuse]

41. Jared Kushner became a prisoners' rights advocate. I thought it was because of his father, but

…he was just thinking about his own future interests.

[bottomofthehill]

46. Transfer him to a sheriff Joe Arpiao run prison

Then let’s see what he thinks. This is a federal prison, the food is mass produced cafeteria food. Easy to make low spoilage.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Poor baby: FAFO!

[bottomofthehill]

50. I am with you Peggy.

Maybe he should not have planned and led an attack on the Capitol and American democracy.

[ProfessorGAC]

4. So, He Gets To Call In To Shows?

I guess I thought that it would be one of the privileges he would lose by being convicted.
They can remove a felons right to vote, but they can't prohibit getting publicity from prison?

[brewens]

8. If he wasn't identified, it was most likely a hoax. Even if he was identified, it may have

been someone else. If they aren't allowed phones, maybe the prison officials will check that out if they get wind of it.

[ProfessorGAC]

13. Good Catch

It could be a fake or a compatriot doing his whining for him.

[jimfields33]

16. You clearly don't watch dateline on Friday night

Prisoners are constantly being interviewed by networks. Did you think only trumpers? 😂

[ProfessorGAC]

37. You Are Correct

I have NEVER watched Dateline. Not even once.

[jimfields33]

55. To be honest, some are pretty interesting.

[ProfessorGAC]

62. I'll Trust Your Judgment

But, it's not my thing. I get enough news here & on WGN.
The rest of my TV viewing is diversion.
I'll even have it on in the background when playing piano or guitar. Unless I'm recording, of course.

[Backseat Driver]

17. I tend to think reporters for the media seek them out...

and pass their business cards. Don't really think they care if the calls get surveilled; it still spreads their message of persecutional witch hunts. They have grievances! (and Constitutional free speech). Did they expect catered gourmet meals and visitors bearing fresh eclairs every day for dessert?

Oops, they slipped down on a rung on the healthy, wealthy "special people" ladder of their cult leader?

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

38. Most prisons and jails allow some phone time every week.

How you choose to use it is up to you.

I imagine most of these traitor thugs have alienated nearly every friend or family member, so what else to do with the phone time but cry to another traitor thug?

[ProfessorGAC]

45. I See

I've only had one family member & one friend do jail time in my adult life, so I know very little about these things.

[Elessar Zappa]

63. Jail sucks.

When I was 24, I was an idiot and got into my car totally wasted (.16 blood alcohol). I was swerving and got arrested. I was sentenced to four days of jail plus fines, classes, etc. Just being in there four days was the worst experience of my life. Since it was less than ten days, I was in holding cell the entire time. One night, another drunk was put in my cell and he was vomiting and shitting all night with me less than 7 feet away and obviously no door for his privacy on the toilet. The time went by so slowly. I learned my lesson and haven’t driven a car drunk ever since.

[ProfessorGAC]

68. I Can See Why

We got detained for fighting when I was 17, but no cell. Just "Sit there & shut up until your parents get here." Sat on the bench near the booking desk. The guys who started the fight were held in a different room.
No charges for anybody. More embarrassing than anything else.
Oh, did I mention the fight was in a cop's front yard? Duh!

[Demobrat]

83. I spent one night in Cook County jail (Chicago)

when I was 18. For underage drinking in a bar. If I was ever headed for a life of crime that cured me. Still remember it like it was yesterday.

[soldierant]

79. Inmates have access to prison phones

But generally, at least in my state, they can only call people on their phone list, which has to be approved - if they try to dial another number, they won't get through.

Cell phones (anything electronic) are contraband. Even the staff can't carry cell phones. But contraband does get in. This sunds like a call from a contraband cell phone to me.

The state the prison is in makes a big difference. Also, there is a difference between a prison and a jail. I'm pretty sure what Fulton County has there is a jail. Someone might be able to serve a short sentence (by which I mean one measured in weeks or less0 but a longer sentence would usually be served within the prison system. Within prisons and jails in any given state, the warden also makes a big difference. Maybe not on the food, though. My state has a four-week menu which repeats - a few items do repeat (cheese pizza on Friday for dinner is in all four weeks) but many don't The portions are ot huge, but it's edible. Any inmate with money in his account can buy food, either as snacks, or in case a particular meal is something he or she detests enough to want to skip it. Friends and relatives can also send them food and drink packages. I do realize, having read enough about investigation, including those done by planted "inmates," that not every state has food that good, or anything else. But we can't be the only one.

Some people, as the old (and very sardonic) saying goes, would bitch if they were hanged with a new rope. On a sunny day. With a crowd gathered. That certainly describes "Karen"s. I'll bet it also describes a lot of MAGAts .

Yes, some prisons are little pieces of hell. But what's true of any given prison - or jail - is not necessarily true of any other particular prison - or jail. Even if they are in the same state.

[BComplex]

5. Republicans' privatized prisons can't make money if they feed you properly, mr. proud boy!

You're experiencing the blowback of your own voting and political support habits!

[brush]

10. The irony is too much. They effed around and found out.

They were probably some of the ones yelling to lock Hilary up.

[Hekate]

6. Izzat so?

[malaise]

7. Call Dennys - they love rwcists

That is all

[Hortensis]

9. Called Alex Jones, huh? He's learned nothing.

When asked by Jones whether he expected Trump to pardon him, Biggs said: "Oh, I know he'll pardon. I believe that with all my heart."

Sigh.

[Demobrat]

54. Dude isn't paying attention.

The plot failed. You failed to keep Trump in office. Trump doesn’t take care of people who fail him. Just ask Rudy.

[Hortensis]

57. Uhuh just ask DOZENS. For sure isn't paying attention.

Even if they'd succeeded, they wouldn't have gotten control of the courts immediately and my best guess is tRump would have betrayed him then. The fat orange defendant LIKES to hurt people, even those he actually needs. Maybe especially.

[paleotn]

77. Bingo. He's about as forgiving as Darth Vader.

He failed his orange demigod.

[Takket]

11. funny how you never hear a damn thing about the condition of life in prisons... until a MAGAt goes

there

[jimfields33]

18. And finally it's a focus. I'm thrilled. I hope they continue.

Maybe something will be done. It needs to.

[getagrip_already]

14. Call your congress critter, not a racist shock jock....

Alex Jones is one of those asshats who railed against prisons coddling inmates with exercise equipment, hot meals, hot water, and teevee.

I'm sure he only wants that with held for urban criminals though.

[ShazzieB]

52. Yes, "urban" criminals.

With "urban" being code for "not white," of course.

[Ohiya]

19. Last year he probably complained that prisons weren't harsh enough. nt

[MineralMan]

21. NutraLoaf. It's good for the environment, and OK for you!

Eat recycled food!

[HAB911]

22. he needs to lose a little weight anyway

[snowybirdie]

23. That killer

Muldraugh gave an interview for Fox and lost a lot of privileges. We probably won't hear from this fool for long.

[ShazzieB]

56. Did you any chance mean Murdaugh?

Just checking.

[snowybirdie]

85. Yes!

Didn't know exact spelling

[Bird Lady]

24. Oh waaaaaaa

Poor little snowflake. He's luck they feed him at all, I would put him in solitary with bread and water, only.

[relayerbob]

25. Wait until he discovers the showers

[LetMyPeopleVote]

26. Now he says he needs to leave jail. because he "can't eat the food here" and is begging TFG to help

Link to tweet

[yardwork]

42. Trump is not in a position to help him now.

The earliest Trump could possibly pardon anybody would be late January 2025, and I think it is very, very unlikely he would pardon these guys even if gets the chance.

This man is a moran who has learned nothing.

[ShazzieB]

60. What gets me is his assumption that Trump would actually give a damn about his plight.

The fact that he actually believes Trump, the man who cares about absolutely no one but himself, would care what happens to him is truly cringeworthy.

Dude, I know he said, "We love you" on January 6, but hat was total b.s. He was happy about what you were doing, but that has nothing to do with caring about you as a person. The sooner you figure that out, the better off you'll be!

[Martin68]

73. Maybe it can arranged for Trump to be his cellmate.

[TNNurse]

27. I have tried to measure my level of concern for him, but it too little to determine.

Generally, I am concerned about the welfare of prisoners, but these people leave me not interested.

[magicarpet]

28. Why doesn't he,...

Door Dash to his prison cell - lobster thermidor with a nice chardonnay and some garlic bread ?

[2naSalit]

29. Better call...

[aeromanKC]

30. FAFO

[Evolve Dammit]

32. Your entitlement is showing. How were you expecting your culinary experience to be in prison??

[Vinca]

33. Poor baby. I'm drowning in tears over this . . . NOT. Eat the baloney and STFU.

[sakabatou]

36. *plays Planck-length violin*

[TexasBushwhacker]

39. I looked up his picture

He could stand to loose a few pounds.

[Paladin]

43. Just eat shit instead. (nt)

[apcalc]

44. Awwwww.... Poor widdle baby

[gopiscrap]

47. fuck him and the political horse he

rode in on

[GreenWave]

48. Maybe some aholes got real tough on prisons.

Who could they be?

[republianmushroom]

49. Enjoy your stay, in prison and the "Felon Club".

Actions due have consequences.

[Demobrat]

51. Look on the bright side.

Maybe you’ll lose some weight.

[Talitha]

53. Like Mom always said...

"If ya don't like it, don't eat. What do you think this is, a restaurant?"

[mbusby]

64. My grandma on my dad's side ....

"Here it is if you like it and here it is if you don't like it..."

[Sneederbunk]

58. What? I heard the baloney sandwiches were top drawer.

[barbtries]

59. called Alex Jones from prison.

boo hoo

i didn't know that it was required that the food be good. It should be edible and nourishing.

[Cha]

61. Now Why didn't Not So Proud boy Biggs

think of that before he followed trump's Direction?

Hope he has to Eat It for all 17 years.

[iluvtennis]

66. Poor pitiful him. He FAFO'ed. n/t

[twodogsbarking]

69. If it is that bad his cellmate will likely have flatulence that makes him ill night and day.

I call that excellent planning.

[moniss]

70. The food

has been an issue forever. The GQP types thought it was fine that it was horrible until now when some of their own are going to have to deal with it. But that fits their pattern about most anything. No concern until it's happening to them. Of course we will now probably see EmptyG doing a photo-op in front of the prison claiming the MAGA loons are being "targeted" with the bad food.

[Rebl2]

71. So they

can just call into radio shows if they want?

[Martin68]

72. Snowflake.

[Beachnutt]

74. Calling in to Infowars is proof that he has no remorse for his actions,

he should have been sentenced to life.

[Silent3]

75. He's probably the kind of person who, in the past, delighted in the idea...

...of prisoners being treated badly, and in far worse ways than getting bad food.

He probably still does, as long as the prisoners aren't himself or his MAGAt buddies.

[paleotn]

76. Whinny little fella.

Maybe he needs a visit from Warden Norton. And get kicked out of his one bunk Hilton and cast down with the....well, you catch my drift or am I being obtuse?

[CanonRay]

78. Did he think Mom was going to come cook for him?

Conditions for all prisoners should be improved, but I cannot muster sympathy for these assholes.

[rdchili96]

80. So...

He fucked around and found out.

[IcyPeas]

81. Cant they request Kosher or vegan diets?

Didn't the guy with the horns demand organic food?

[moonshinegnomie]

86. you can demand kosher or halal food

not vegan or organic.

[meadowlander]

90. I think you do have to prove you've converted though

as per Orange is the New Black.

The thought of all those Nazis having to actually learn something about Judaism or Islam to pass a test to get better food makes me really, really happy though.

[TSExile]

82. Oh, boo hoo...

My heart bleeds.

[keithbvadu2]

84. Soon, we'll be seeing conservatives protesting/demanding prison reform... Right?

[Irish_Dem]

87. Realty has not yet hit him.

He still thinks Trump will pardon him.

And he thinks the food in prison should be to his liking.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

88. This idiot thinks that TFG will pardon him

Link to tweet

[Emile]

89. Whiny asshole whining about prison food, 😂

[UpInArms]

91. Love the Finding Out part

Of this

[dai13sy]

92. On the other hand

I don't see the proud boy going without for long. Good luck with your bad self whilst you are in the slam. You will definitely need it.

[LudwigPastorius]

93. Sounds like he doesn't like his eggs scrambled.
