    the "benevolent monarch" statement if f***ing weird. what century is this again?

    sadly, i think this is where most trumpers are. they want a strongman authoritarian leader.

    I think there was also a reporter on the CIA payroll.

    I don't think the preference for a benevolent monarch is that far-out. That might actually be preferable to a direct, majoritarian democracy, in terms of protecting the rights of minorities.

    A lot of people who dream about their chosen President remaking the country in their idealized image of what it should be are really yearning for a benevolent monarch, aren't they?

    Alex Jones’ 5 most disturbing and ridiculous conspiracy theories

    1. The government has ‘weather weapons’
    2. Chemicals in the water are turning frogs gay
    3. Robert Mueller is a demon, and also a pedophile
    4. The Sandy Hook shooting was staged
    5. Hillary Clinton is running a child sex ring out of a pizza parlor

    Harmless fun? Alex Jones fanboys called and threatened Sandy Hook families, shot up Comet Ping Pong pizzeria with a semi-automatic rifle and made various death threats to Robert Mueller and his investigation into Trump.

    And 1 was based off trusted sources, and they admitted they got it wrong. This dude doubles down on **** he just pulled out of his ass.

    Same thing tho.

    It's what inevitably happens. The immediate attempt to deflect what some corrupt liar like Jones or trump says that has terrible consequences. One award winning source gets a story wrong, retracts it, and then publishes the truth when they dig and if they find it, the others just go on to the next lie, ignoring that they were caught. Equating the two is obscene, in my opinion.

    I never thought Alex Jones believed the things he said and was just feeding his base in exchange for $$. But now I have to reconsider. He is still doubling down lol

    The party of “law and order” has cried over liars and conmen being punished for breaking the law a lot lately.

    Jones legal team is hoping that there are partisan (read MAGA) morons on the jury who don’t care about facts, law, right or wrong, and will hang the jury on a partisan basis alone.
