If your takeaway from all the recent news about this person is not that you want her nowhere near your life, I don't know what to tell you. These people have a goddamn blast zone. You need to review the Survivability Onion.

This along with narrative that "those girls knew the score/ were well-compensated" is the last stop before he has to pull the "Born-Again Christian" card. I think the combination of all three will probably be needed allow MAGA Enthusiasts to stay on the train.

Wake up Bae. Megyn Kelley is soft launching injecting the word "ephebophile" into the discourse!
He wasn't a kiddie diddler, see. He's just a guy who is still 16 years-old in many ways (including his sexual attraction to girls that have started recently menstruating).

I had 500 stickers of this and have been posting them at bulletin boards throughout Green Bay. At least a couple of friends have reported seeing them in the wild. A beacon of hope, I think.

Driving a real hard bargain here, I see.
Suppose he really ramps up his crabman bona fides & adopts the custom of wearing a rolled up beanie for public events, Jeff - Would that hold your interest at all?

I have been distributing these around Green Bay. It’s a little pick-me-up whenever I see any of them in the wild.

I pasted these all over Green Bay because it makes me feel a little bit better when I’m reminded.
It’s getting a bit heavy.

If you want to win an argument with a MAGA Enthusiast, just point out that the top 20 Equity Precious Metals mutual funds are returning > 100% year-to-date.
They won't know how it is relevant, but that's kind of the fun of it -- they don't understand any of the reasons they are wrong about him.

I’m final drafting a book about this and I have been leaving stickers with logo all over town. Hope you’ll have me on your show when it is released.

Neighbors I have watched become more radicalized since joining an Evangelical church in 2019 - put up a sign in their yard that says "We are all Charlie Kirk NOW".
The verbiage doesn't make sense, but definitely underscores the in-group dynamics of their movement.

Just turned in a book that has this exact point as the central thesis.

Tonight in Green Bay is the September edition of the monthly discussion I moderate for people that are paying attention to what is happening and troubled by it.
Everyone is welcome. All are respected, but if you are a MAGA Enthusiast you should expect to be asked questions.

I had a sign made with this logo for my front yard. 2 people stopped this week to snap a photo and tell me that they were thankful for the reminder because things are seeming heavy lately. Sign has been up 3 months, but nobody ever stopped before.

Precious metals funds are what you shift your portfolio into with 5 years until retirement because they are the least risk.
When has it been the case that the safest investments were all returning better than +75% Year to Date 9 months into the year?
What is your best explanation for this?

The bad news is that all the demoralization campaigns they were planning to unleash are now fully funded.

If you are in Green Bay and have some time on the 19th, please consider meeting a few of us at the library for the May edition of the "Autocratic Despair Dialogues".
Re-posts appreciated. I'm considering putting a package together so people can have these same events in their town.

My used copy of “Citizen’s Guide to 5th Generation Warfare” appears to never have been read, but it is autographed by General Michael Flynn himself. Feels a little like I inadvertently acquired an autographed copy of Mein Kampf. Do I read it and then burn it or keep it as a collector’s item?

My daughter’s u-12 soccer coach sent out a group text to introduce himself to all the parents and his contact photo was so exactly this that he may have actually been in the collage.
