BakedAlaska is a killer handle for RIU.
Apparently he can't believe he's going to prison for an NFT huckster, or words to that effect. Maybe he should look inward to find out why he became such a sucker and dupe, why did he want to believe this shit? Lies so transparent any child could see through them. Evil, crazy or stupid, take yer pick, there are a limited number of options.

Either way, I’m setting up a sock account. I hope BakedAlaska isn’t taken.

They sold out and the orange clown made $4.5 million from this.

The only thing he’s ever been successful at was pretending to be successful on tv and selling trinkets to morons.
He sold the license for it, it kinda looks like a money laundering scheme to me based on the emerging evidence. It could indicate financial distress or simply stupidity. I think Jack might end up seizing the stop the steal grift money over wire fraud, what's left of it, since I figure he's been using it to keep his businesses afloat. He has no day to day bankers, lines of credit or even an accounting firm, nobody with a brain will touch him. He has to pay lawyers up front now too, apparently rumors and hearsay are ok when it comes to paying the legal bills! :lol:

If this guy is a regular talking head on foxnews he will need 24/7 protection. I imagine any effective voices from the left would need the same level of protection from their viewers, if they appeared regularly on Foxnews and challenged the narrative, drama sells Rupert! :lol: Says la lot, that some lone effective opposing voice would cause such an uproar, but it would, count on it, it's who they pander to and create. They would have to be a guest on one of the regular shows because if they had their own viewership would drop like a stone in primetime, just by telling the unpleasant truth.

I feel like we're in a Mel Brooks movie. We've entered a new plain of existence. I just discovered that Mnuchin's qualifications for Treasury Secretary were "Movie Producer". That arm candy he bought makes more sense now. I wonder if he was lining up movie deals as well as financial services with all of those frequent Saudi trips.

That’s a wife. Seems her head is full of snakes.

Since the GOP always accuses dems of doing what they actually do (pedophilia with their
House Speaker and other rightwingers imprisoned for it) and they probably got the idea to
accuse dems of eating babies from Mnuchin and his trophy wife (blech). I mean who
could come up with such an idea to broadly accuse people of? This movie explains it.

while i won't say there aren't some sicks fucks in the world who could do that...i highly doubt that either party has secret baby eating parties.
that's just another sick, stupid qanon bullshit "theory" to keep shit rolling, to keep the gullible excited...to keep the stupid under their control.
some people seem to think the world is better with some chaos in it, and they try on a daily basis to cause as much shit as they can. shut them down every time you see them doing it. hear someone telling obvious lies? call them out. tell them and everyone around them the truth. fuck em if they don't like it.

You are exactly right.

It's newt gingrich and the rest of those 80s and 90s right wing hate-mongers, pandering
to fear, greed and hatred that exists in almost everybody. It's not that they think the
world is better with chaos in it, it's that they want to take over, at any cost. Win, win win.
Like trump said that he is embarassed by the fact he lost the election. It shouldn't be that
personal, it should be about his great vision for the USA and the world, but it's not, it's just
his little ego gratification. He's not the problem, it's the people who are the problem, voting
for sick, narcissistic, ego maniacal, polemic, power hungry, autocratic monsters like him, and
thinking they know more than the rest of us.

That's the nature of humans, it's always about our selves. "I'm smarter, better than you are", we
always feel, and therefore I know better what's good for you. I saw this in 3d grade. I never got
over it, really. Yeah, 8 year olds do this, and they never stop, how about that. Anyway, boy i do
ramble. What I'm saying is they know they can get power not so much by creating chaos, but by
pandering to the most base instincts of humanity, fear and greed, mostly. It's so easy, and so
obvious which is why I don't get why voters can't see past it, and not give that shit any credence.
I think maybe that might be where intelligence plays a factor in humans. I keep believing (unlike
the right wing credo) that we humans can do better. blah blah blah...

the problem is we ever gave the "right" to vote to the masses...voting should be a privilege that has to be earned.
fuck nut idiots whose only knowledge of politics come from hateful podcasts and qanon conspiracy websites shouldn't have the privilege.
a simple test, administered fairly to all, to determine if they have the vaguest sense of the facts, would stop so much of the horseshit we deal with now...

Yup, that's a good idea, but the prob with that is I probably wouldn't be allowed to vote.
It's kind of like computers. Idiots have in their pockets, the most powerful machines ever invented, yet
don't know input from output or a bit from a byte. Not everybody should have them, esp.
interweb access, like yanno, FB, tiktok, twitter, or RIU.

no

In fact, the majority gets it right more often than so called experts do.
