Next week on a professional victim goes to federal prison…

2025-2026 are going to be really fun with the trials.

I hear telling the feds to eat your ass is good, viable legal strategy.

TPM: Donald Trump has triggered a groyper meltdown

In which white nationalist Nick Fuentes realizes the leopard has eaten his face:

And in the wake of Trump’s recent admission that he did, in fact, lose the 2020 election — “by a whisker” — Fuentes is having a full blown existential crisis. (It’s worth nothing, it’s unclear what exactly Trump was going for with this admission. He has never once conceded that he lost in 2020, and in the same interview on the Lex Fridman Podcast, he again cast doubt on the 2020 election: “I think the election was a fraud, and many people felt it was that, and they wanted answers.” But Trump has spent the last several weeks since Vice President Kamala Harris became the nominee trying to appeal to moderate Republicans and undecided voters who may not like his extreme positions, which include his 2020 trutherism.)

“He says, ‘Oh, I lost by a whisker,’” Fuentes said during his Tuesday night livestream, which was first flagged by Right Wing Watch. “So what was the point? What’s the point of any of it? You lost in 2020? Seriously? What are we even doing anymore? Then you’re a loser. You just lost. Then you lost to Joe Biden.”

He went on to declare that Special Counsel Jack Smith was right in bringing charges against Trump before announcing that his support for Trump all these years has been a “ripoff.” A snapshot of his meltdown:

“So, why did we do Stop the Steal? … Why did anyone go to Jan. 6? Why is anyone sitting in jail? Why did anything bad happen to anybody? Why did everyone get censored? Why is everything bad that has happened to the people that were involved, why did that need to happen if you’re just going to walk it all back and say, ‘Oh, I lost’?”

“Well, it would have been good to know that before 1,600 people got charged. It would have been good to know that before I had all my money frozen, [was] put on the No Fly List, [got] banned from everything, lost all banking and payment processing. It would have been good to know that before I, in 2017, dedicated my life to this as an 18 year-old in college. It just feels like a big ripoff.”

After such a devastating blow, Trump might have to soon ask himself the hard questions, like, what even is the MAGA movement without its racist online provocateurs?

That’s the good stuff dot gif

Took this guy eight fucking years to realize Donald Trump is just a big rip off, but he got there.

Danspartan · September 6, 2024, 11:52am

He will be back in the fold in less than a Scaramucci.

Melkerson · September 6, 2024, 3:08pm

Yup. This.

kerowo · September 6, 2024, 3:28pm

It will be interesting to see where MAGA go when Trump fades away. Are they just going to stop voting or will they continually push wackadoodle candidates hoping to recapture past glory?

Danspartan · September 6, 2024, 7:24pm

They will continue to attempt to seize power. At gunpont.

McTrollson · September 6, 2024, 11:39pm

Fuentes may be the only person in America who sincerely believes Trump’s nonsense.

commonWealth · September 7, 2024, 1:08am

Holy shit

So it’s probably a lock that they find 1 bad signature and get it thrown off the ballot?

Surf · September 7, 2024, 1:41am

Maybe I’m sweet summer child but I would assume you would get like 20% extra signatures on something like this

ConAir · September 7, 2024, 4:05am

It’s probably all an act, but Fuentes has been extremely derisive of Vance and he thinks Trump has turned his back on white nationalism and “life” with the abortion flip flops.

It’s basically all he gripes about these days.

McTrollson · September 7, 2024, 4:53am

Man it’s not going to be fun when Ron DeSantis is president.

commonWealth · September 7, 2024, 5:31am

I think we dodged that bullet. I don’t think he’s going to be able to turn out the ultra MAGA Trumpers at a high enough rate. The needle you have to thread to win nationally as a Trumper requires a cult. Don Jr or MTG could maybe do it. If Trump wins he either goes for a third term or annoints Don Jr or something. Otherwise I think the MAGA GOP either dies or drags the GOP deeper under water in '26 and '28.

I will report back if i get a visit from the gestapo since my name is on that petition.

Danspartan · September 7, 2024, 5:56pm

Bye. If we had known it was your last day here, we would have had cake and ice cream.

Best of luck
