    “Last night we did a flag drop in the middle of riots to support our Blue and our PB’s that were protecting us !!!” Forte wrote on November 15, 2020.

    Love how they claim to “back the blue” except, you know, when they were beating the Capitol Police with whatever weapons they could find and spraying them with bear spray.

      Related this recently:

      Man came over to pick up a thing I put in Nextdoor.com. Said, “Hey I seen you on there, talking about 01/06. My brother’s a cop.”

      He wasn’t in my grill by any stretch, but his struck me as a bit adversarial. Impossible to relate in text, and it’s been a couple of years.

      “And those vile scum beat policemen with an American flag. 2 committed suicide directly after. FUCK those people.” (Again, can’t get it across in text.)

      You could see the gears turning, thinking, “Well… yeah… fuck them!”

      Anyway, the guy honestly gave it a thought, and I think he found a new take on the whole thing.

      We parted very amiably, shook hands, all that. One of the rare times I think I gave someone a truly new perspective and the internalized it.

      Was wondering who gets a bitcoin tattoo and then

      The Rolls-Royce is painted cotton-candy pink and neon blue. It’s covered in drawings of dollar bills, Bitcoins, piggy banks—and Richie Rich. On the hood are the words “Trump’s Nephew.”

      oh

          Can’t believe a MAGA is calling himself that. Or anyone for that matter.

          They should just go home, no one’s better than Roy Wood Jr

          They need a followup, so much more material now. Except now it would be a grievance rap.

              I went back and read that article to the end. I can see why you love it, a remarkable amount of ridiculous bs condensed into one space. That’s an article you can’t really give someone the cliff notes on.

              Probably one of my favorite parts

              “But my fans aren’t teenage boys,” he added. “My fans are 50-to-60-year-old people that probably never listened to rap music in their life. And I make them love rap music. Now they love rap music.”

              That is sad. But funny.

    “He says he’s never read a book—not a single one, not even in school. He doesn’t have much of a dating life. He has a few friends, but they tend to “change every two years.'” - well that’s surprising /s

      Yeah, that’s after his multimillionaire grandfather sent him to a 50k/yr boarding school in between yaughting trips.

      This is a broken trust fund bro who spent years trying to get his rap career going because being a rich kid wasent enough. He stumbled on MAGA as his answer and just went 100% fucking stupid about it.

    challenger implies seriousness in candidacy or plausible chances of success.

    it’s more of a vanity campaign for a fox news gig.

    as close to their original format as possible, which includes some spelling and grammatical errors.

    also not surprising
