Yawn.
Dont care about this loser and his remaining 50 listeners.
There's a lot more than 50.
OK, 53.
Kind of makes sense. The Republicans are the idiots refusing to evacuate or eating disinformation so I imagine a lot of red states are going to be a little more blue by the end of this.
Shouldn’t anyone funding his lifestyle also be subject to lawsuits? This kind of lying can get people killed
Kamala is Exxon?
I hope we can sue the shit out of him like when he denied Sandy Hook
guess it takes morethan stripping him of his assets to shut his lying mouth off
Ah, we've gone from appealing to conspiracy theorists to appealing to the legit mentally unwell.
Super.
But you also say manmade climate change is a myth.. So which is it?
People buy pills from this guy and put them IN THEIR BODY.
For anybody outside the US wondering how Trump has even the slightest chance to win the election, this is who we’re living with over here!
The Democrats control the weather and that's why they purposefully made it rain in Detroit in November of 2016 because they wanted turnout to be low and for Trump to be elected.
Therefore, Trump is a secret deep state agent.
/s
At this point, right-wing lunatics are already so far removed from reality that it's safe to call them a sect.
Dan and Jordan gonna have a grand ol' time with this one
you mean like the nuke that trump said he was going to use against a hurricane?
you have to round up not only the people that peddle this shit but the people that are gullible enough to believe it and get them far away from the gears of society. i don't care how you do it, or where they end up, or how it gets done, but it's obvious that we cannot have a functioning society with these people in it.
What the fuck do we do with the weather control machine then? :o
You're telling me we spent $5.7 billion of traceable taxpayer money on a weather altering device just to not u-- I'm just fucking with ya 😂
i'm absolutely serious.
If "the libs" controlled the weather, Jones would be getting zapped by lightning every time he opened his stupid mouth.
Nah, need to update climate controller to version 2 and then we have to subscribe monthly in order to have that level of precision. /s
I like the current theory that this is god smiting those sinners who have turned his words into hatred.
A billion dollar judgement against this guy and he is still spewing lies.
It's mindblowing to us non-Americans that such a large percentage of a purportedly first-world country can be so utterly stupid. I can't imagine that things were this bad even just 20 years ago. Why are y'all so dumb?
Several reasons that I know of and probably a lot more that I don't, but basically ignorance and lack of critical thinking skills.
Our educational system is underfunded and has cut a lot of things that used to be taught, like Civics/Government, so no one knows how things work and assume the only important office is the presidency, and that it has control over everything. Other subjects and extracurricular activities that help teach critical thinking like Speech/Interpersonal communication, Current Events, Logic, Debate, etc. have been dropped or cut back to only superficial coverage. Watch some old videos of schoolchildren being interviewed about various topics and you'll be amazed at how informed and thoughtful they were for their age back then compared to now (not to mention polite).
The information bubbles of social media and the algorithms that amplify disinformation on places like Facebook, X/twitter, YouTube, etc. They suck people deeper and deeper into rabbit holes of insanity. Foreign powers such as Russia, Iran, and other enemies of democracy exploit this by injecting and amplifying their own disinfo to sow anger and division.
and finally one of the worst offenders: FOX "News". Ever since this station started it has been a brainwashing tool. Most of the people you are talking about, who believe all this crap, especially the older ones who are more into TV watching are avid FOX news viewers, used to listen to Rush Limbaugh on the radio and are also listening to people like Alex Jones and others like him. It all feeds on itself.
Its contagious. There's fascist uprisings going on everywhere, not just in the US. I think a lot of "Trump supporters" we see online is astroturfing, making it seem he has more supporters than he does
