So is Alex Jones going to be some kind of affiliate or partner when election season is over and Trump uses the publicity to start his own post-Fox-News media empire?

It's just game recognizing game.

It's a good question. I've asked a few Infowarriors similar questions before; they usually just get mad at me, so I don't have a solid answer yet.

That would confirm Trump for fiscally conservative, since for a few bucks more he could get Glenn Beck, the superior of the same schtick.

No way is Alex Jones discount Glenn Beck. If anything, Glenn Beck is diet Alex Jones.


Dr Robot - 2016-08-16

Yup, RSR has read this situation correctly.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Alex Jones is worth million, while Glenn Beck is worth 0 million. They have the same schtick.

PoeTV no longer allows the use of the dollar sign.

Glenn Beck : Two hundred and fifty millione dollars by way of the king's accounting.

Alex Jones : Eight million dollars by way of the king's accounting.

Yes but has Glenn Beck ever gone into Federal buildings and screamed at receptionists for covering up the existence of aliens? I rest my case.

Maybe Trump could ask Putin to supervise our election.

So, initially, Trump wanted more money for "The Apprentice". So instead of asking for more, he said he was more interested in running for president, under the idea that if he looked like he wasn't interested, but had a visible fan presence, NBC would be willing to renegotiate. However, instead, he went out day one with a racist comment, NBC just flat out fired him, and instead, he started imagining himself with his own network.

Elsewhere, the party chiefs were expecting the Koch brothers to eventually come to some sort of agreement with Trump, and because Trump is good money after bad, they're not going to touch him. Plus, Trump is nouveau riche garbage, the Trump vs. Koch beef is about class WITHIN the upper class, and the Kochs might as well by America's Rotschilds compared to Trump.

Meanwhile, Ailes knew his time at Fox News was coming to an end, so he's been playing Iago this whole time and angling to set up a Trump News Network. Alex Jones sees the writing on the wall and has decided to pitch his wagon to Trump's star, hoping to get a spot as Trump's alternate for O'Reilly. Trump would much RATHER run a TV network (or rather, put his name on a TV network and have Ailes run it) than actually BE president, so he's actively trying to escape his Faustian bargain and not actually get elected. The key to this is "honesty", he can't pivot to the center, because the people who would leave Fox and watch Trump TV are dependent upon their ideology never being challenged, so Trump is in a hard place.

But, of course, this is all dependent upon Trump still having money and a brandable name at the end of this, which is in doubt. How much money he actually has is considerably less than what he brags about having, and how much clout his name will have to get investors would be in question. If he can exit the race and still brand himself as a "winner", possibly by ditching in September, that's his best bet.

MEANWHILE, the Trump kids are trying to salvage what they'll get out of this, and I do not envy being them at all. Dad is spending THEIR money. Ailes sees Trump as his only way out, Jones sees Trump as his best chance at mainstream platform, Paul Ryan can't NOT support the candidate, Mitch McConnell is on the way out come January, and we're watching the death throes of a party. This is a bunch of rats clinging to the side of Trump as he sinks the party.

The gag is that if they'd be able to see past 20 years of irrational hatred for the Clintons, Hillary would be their ideal center-right candidate. But they can't, because the Lewinski trial was collective vendetta for Nixon, and that Clinton didn't quit in disgrace irrevocably broke the psyches of an entire generation of grey eminences.

And for the Left, Hillary is a magnificent sacrificial goat. They can agree with everything on the Clinton agenda, even vote for it, and still talk a big game about Progressive ideals. After all, it was Hillary or Trump, right? Whose side are you on?

Every single "the Republican party is imploding and will soon be dead" prediction made here has been wrong. You can go to old videos all the way back to 2008 and see the same comments.


memedumpster - 2016-08-17

The Republicans aren't going anywhere, they are the New Left once the Donald finishes off the fringe's credibility and the Clinton Dynasty starts aggressively oppressing liberals.

I am only going to get my election coverage from longroom dot com, which shows Trump leading Clinton by significant margins.

Also every person behind the website is probably fictitious.

I actually am really curious as to what would happen if Alex Jones were to attain political appointment in a Trump administration.

I mean I imagine it would be like every satirical dystopian novel ever written, but even more insane. I want to see that alternate world where the US goes to war with the NWO. The War on the Illuminati will make the War on Terror look like a fucking game of Candy Land. Fuck you, Satan! Fuck you and your burqas and abortions and abortion burqas, which are used to simultaneously do abortions and practice Islam at the same time! The God Emperor of Casinos is gonna kick your ass! No chip implants for anyone, miniature American flags for all! No eye pyramids for us, this is fucking America!
