    “welp, the right wing grift resulted in me losing everything. Better publicly turn on trump to try to stay relevant”

    Congrats on joining the double losers club, Alex. MTG will keep you warm, I’m sure.

      Doesn’t he still owe 1.5 billion to the Sandy Hook victims?

      Won’t this essentially just be funneled to them?

        I think the InfoWars entity protected him from personal liability. The assets from that have been seized and sold off in a lot of cases to fund that, but he can spin up new enterprises and has done so and is trying to shift attention there

          Ah, gotcha.

          Wait, does that mean the Onion essentially owes the Sandy Hook survivors? Or are they not taking on that debt?

    So hilarious that these smoothbrains spent the 90s thinking that the likes of Janet Reno were coming for their gerns and ammo and bunkers and MREs, along with the likes of Bill Clinton (and later, Obama and Hillary). I mean, I LTFOL at that…

    Then they get all onboard with the trump train and then get pikachu face when it turns out that…THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE YOUR OWN HOUSE when it comes to problematic leaders looking to fundamentally change America.

      Oh, that’s hardly true. I also want to hear about Alex Jones when he’s (a) living penniless on the streets, (b) suffering a painful and humiliating disease, or © dead.

      I wouldn’t mind hearing about him falling down a flight of stairs, being bitten by a rabid bat, or getting lockjaw.

    Pretty sure I recently saw on Infowars that his head blew up and he was replaced with a doppelganger. Really makes you think they’re on to something. A truly fine news source in this age of disinformation.

    Gonna be honest I have not thought about Alex Jones since Knowledge Fight ended. Honestly I think its been way better for my mental health but I do miss having some inkling as to what is going on in the insane right grifter community.

      Any KF fans also watching the Onion show? I’m curious what people think about it versus some of Dan and Jordan’s concerns.

        Dan has a new show called Show Me State of Mind, and I’m really enjoying it. Scratches that KF itch, and I don’t have to hear Alex any more!

      For every Tuck Buckford, there are a zillion others, all clawing to be the next top grifter. I used to dip into some of their podcasts to monitor the crazy and it’s really quite wild. Most of them all seem to hate each other and the constant alliances and later schisms was rather funny to take in.

      Most of them seem to think others are CIA plants running “psyops”.

      Anyway, here are some of the characters I remember that had books and podcasts, etc. - some of them have died since - Alan Watt, Jan Irvin, the guy that ran Red Ice (used to be kooky conspiracy thing, now openly white supremacist, I guess? I don’t remember that being so apparent in the mid-00s or whenever I last sampled some podcasts), David Icke, Jim Marrs, Jordan Maxwell, Bill Cooper…

    Alex Jones should love the draft. It’s the easiest way for the government to “Deport” brown American citizens. Off to Iran they go, into the meat grinder!

    The grift gotta have contingencies lest he the STRONG PATRIOT BETA CUCK be know as a grifter who sold out his own country to foreign capital. He is clearly apart of the sea of deep state fascist international dildos who flood the zone with nonsense to diffuse revolutionary potential. He is no different from those who went to the island.
