Eh, you can still go fuck yourself, Jones.

or fuck a gay frog. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

You'd be hard pressed to find one that consents, I'm guessing.

What a fucking strange timeline we live in.

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

the conservative propaganda wing (and the majority of american politicians) is in it for the grift before anything else, they follow the tide. If they can oust trump withoit being killed by the MAGA base they will...because Vance with do what the oligarchs want even more consistently than Trump. the war won't end, but they can pretend to be putting out trump/hegseths mistake instead of just continuing their own

They need someone to continue the movie before trump dies and everyone fights to take the reins

just like MTG saying the same thing, rats fleeing a sinking ship.

Grifters always know when it's time to shift the grift. this is what's currently happening. expect more right-wing talking heads coming out to say the same.

I wonder which exact moment he realized the deep state puppet masters were also his masters. As a guy whose whole shtick was calling out corruption and conspiracy, he had a choice a long time ago to reconcile this, if he weren't so consumed by the attention and money idiots gave him

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 34 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

My bet is that he’s known the entire time, but just says whatever he thinks is most profitable in the moment.

[–] 13igTyme@piefed.social 10 points 13 hours ago

Incorrect. He doesn't think. He just says whatever his benefactors tell him and they sign a check.

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I think he might have had some true convictions a long time ago, but the almighty dollar wins the hearts and minds of these guys

That and cocaine is a helluva drug

Has Jones not said something similar a 100 times by now? Tomorrow he will decide that hating women is more important

[–] bw42@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

Need a meme of Michael from the Good Place feeling ill because Alex Jones got it right this time.
