Eh, you can still go fuck yourself, Jones.

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

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

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

What a fucking strange timeline we live in.

[–] rozodru@piefed.world 18 points 3 weeks ago

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.

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

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 36 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

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

[–] poopsmith@lemmy.ml 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

As an avid Knowledge Fight listener, I can assure you that Jones indeed has known the entire time. When Trump first started gaining steam in 2016, Jones correctly called Trump a mobster. Roger Stone eventually convinced Jones to get on board, presumably with the promise of access. It’s been pretty clear that Jones has regretted that decision for most of the past decade because it completely fucked up his grift.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

and it completely fucked up the comedy circuit that jones is trying to control

[–] 13igTyme@piefed.social 10 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

That and cocaine is a helluva drug

[–] stenAanden@feddit.dk 15 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] itsjustachairmary@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Pay the parents, Alex

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