    🤔 His extremist and conspiracy theory platform helped create the political landscape where trump won. Whatever his reasons now, he deserves to go down with the ship.

      The media is desperate to look unbiased, but they don’t want to look unbiased by being unbiased and fairly reporting on Trump… So they report shit like this, so they can create the false appearance of unbiasedness while making sure most/all of trumps infantile retaliation will end up directed towards the subject (in this case, Alex Jones)

    Well obviously Fuentes thinks the Trump admin has gone too far. Trump is deporting people for being critical of Israel, and Fuentes really fucking hates Jews. He hates Muslims too, but he hates Jews waaaay more.

    For those wondering where he finally draws the line with Trump, it’s Trump’s statements about deporting citizens to El Salvador.

    Tap for full context (from the article)

    FUENTES:  You have…1,500 people with a legal right to be here, they’re being expedited — their removal is being expedited for no reason other than they criticize the fact that, you know, we’re supporting this foreign war [Fuentes seems to be referencing the Gaza conflict].

    JONES: Here’s where I’m at, though. In general, I see the whole, a lot of the populist conservative space spending half their time on this, and I just, I mean, I think it’s way more dangerous Trump saying we’re looking to deporting citizens to El Salvador. Now, that’s unconstitutional, and that is really bad.

    FUENTES: I agree with that. Then again though, I don’t think that’s a real policy. That hasn’t happened. What is really happening —

    JONES: Now they’re talking about using the Enemy Combatant Act to do it for regular crime. It’s —

    FUENTES: I don’t, I think that’s one of those throwaway comments.

    JONES: So you think it’s him trolling?

    FUENTES: I think they’re flooding the zone with poo like Bannon said.

      Deporting citizens to El Salvador for criticizing Israel. Which Nick dislikes only because he is a literal neonazi who wants a “holy war” against Jews.

        The Israel Palestine situation has been so hard for the far right neo Nazis. They want to support the Republicans but they also want to to kill all the Jews.

        We need to give them our love and support /s

    Stop, you’ve gone too far. Also you’ve gone the wrong way. And your driving is terrible. And you’re drunk on power. Why did I even get in this clown car.

        Instinct alone, really. They feed and breed. Then die. That’s their whole purpose. That’s their evolutionary drive.

        Without them, we’re fucked. Wasps on the other hand, fuck those bitches.
