People like Alex Jones are complete cynics who have no allegiance to anyone but their own popularity and bank account.

If the man is fleeing Trump, then he sees the handwriting on the wall.

Trump is weighed in the balance and found wanting.

Donald's godhood lasted little more than a year. Quite the record for deity.

This good-for-nothing has a social media following of over 3.9m on Twitter, which more than doubled from about 1.8m after Felon Musk reinstated his accounts. On Instagram, he has around 467,000 followers.

I guess nitwits follow nitwits.

Jonesy doesn't want to go down with the ship, so this Rat Fink is jumping overboard.

And all the nitwits who followed him down this crooked path will have to chose which fool to follow.

I guess nitwits follow nitwits.

At least a sizeable portion of followers are there for the comedic value only.

I don't do Twitter, but Alex Jones is hysterical in more ways than one.

So, batguano-crazy Alex Jones says the Republicans need to stay in power, even without Trump.

Says something about the possible post-Trumpist Republican base-to-come.

I cannot understand why Republicans like Eberly don't realize that the brand might be tarnished beyond repair. If there's some sanity left on the local and state side, the sane ones should demonstrate it, instead of running for cover.

Not up to the Democrats to fix the Republicans' internal problems. Not like the Democrats ever do themselves any favors anyway.

"Trump is a deeply unwell man. He is a deeply psychologically disturbed individual. If he were a member of your family, you'd be taking him, you'd be staging an intervention and taking him into a psychiatric hospital. He is, as I've been saying, a narcissistic sociopath, a pathological narcissist and a sociopath as defined by the American Psychiatric Association. These are, historians will tell you, the traits of authoritarian dictators throughout history."

Jones thought Trump was a good idea only to find out Jones was wrong. You'd think he might lose a little faith in his own judgement after being so horribly wrong but instead he'll just double down on the stupid

Dump the-------------, and buy my methylene blue supplements!

I find it hard to understand how anyone, anywhere, can say they are a follower of Jones for positive reasons...he did what he could to profit off the deaths of tiny children in CT, for instance.

Just read a tweet.

Two of the NGO organizers of the No Kings Protests paid themselves $6 MILLION DOLLARS last year

Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin are the co-directors of Indivisible. Indivisible is one of the organizers of "No Kings rallies"

It's funded by George Soros

"paid themselves"

^
As in, it's their money, they can spend it how they please?

Or do you mean they paid themselves with other people's money, like Elon Musk: "In 2025, his estimated compensation for that year was around $87.75 billion based on the value of his performance awards."

Wait until you find out how much Trump is sending his way.

Oh wait, yo don't actually care, you just need to deflect for Dear Leader because not doing so will get you in big trouble according to the emails you get that auto enroll you in recurring donation schemes...

Visitor_, what percentage of your monthly income do you donate to our billionaire President Trump?

#14 | Posted by snoofy at 2026-04-03 10:13 AM | Reply

I've structured my retirement so that I don't have income as defined by the Federal Government. A percentage of 0 is meaningless.
