Nick Fuentes turns on Trump

"So, why did we do Stop the Steal? Why did did anyone go to Jan. 6? Why did any one go to jail? ... It would have been good to know that before 1,600 people got charged," Fuentes said on his podcast, referring to the criminal charges for those who invaded and ransacked the Capitol. "It would’ve been good to know that before (I) had all my money frozen, put on a no-fly list, banned from everything, lost all my bank and payment processing.”

Smith also recalled having a conversation about what might happen to them if they were found.

“One of us said to the other, ‘They take us hostage, right?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I think.’ That was one of the few words I said out loud in the room,” Smith said, later adding, “That was easily the worst day of my life. The worst two hours of my life, easily.”

The whole of the grievance thing was based upon vote fraud. Fuentes must have read Trump's admission and realized that he'd been taken for a fool. Trump admitted that he wasn't victimized, that he intentionally tried to overturn the election that he knew he lost. Fuentes was used like a pawn. So were millions who have yet to comprehend that Trump played them for suckers.

The other day, Trump said he lost "by a whisker."

Fuentes is asking why the Stop The Steal event ever happened if Trump knew he had lost. He's pissed about all the people arrested and jailed in support of Trump's apparent lie.

Hey, Nick! Fuck around and find out, eh?

The kid didn't finish college and was being paid hundreds of thousands from foreigners along with money from gullible patreon subscribers listening to his garbage, being jetted and limousined to events/conferences, and getting main stream media attention for saying outlandish things. He was taking it in and basking in the attention. A younger Nick would have been smart enough to invest much of that easy money. No idea if he blew it all.


I still cannot believe I knew Fuentes when he was a little kid through his mid teens.

as JFK said.
I didn't know Trump has said it three times recently.

At least three times in recent weeks Trump, the 2024 Republican party nominee, has acknowledged that he lost in 2020 "by a whisker."

"He beat us by a whisker. It was a terrible thing," Trump said of President Joe Biden during a 45 minute interview Aug. 4 with podcaster Lex Fridman. He used similar language at an Aug. 30 Moms for Liberty summit and an Aug. 23 press event at the Southern border.

Of course he knew. But now it seems to be a good time to start putting distance between them. If it looks like you are tied to a drowning man, trying to find the best way to exit in the least self-incriminating way possible. He's probably been weighing exit strategy for bit now.

You have eyes, ears and a mind. Reportage was and is easily available that showed it was not a stolen election. Bill Barr and Trump's handpicked election "czar" said that it was a free and fair election. Are you admitting to the world that you were just a slave to the utterances of Trump and automatically believed whatever he said? Why should anyone listen to what a person who has been so thoroughly duped has to say?

White nationalist scum are finally realizing that Trump couldn’t care less about them and their cause… that they’re merely his useful idiots who he will readily send under the bus if it suits him. They deserve nothing more!

They’ll spend the rest of their waking hours realizing that their cause and everything they believe in is a lie… and they lost everything in service to that lie, while Trump laughs his ass off at their gullibility.

So is he back tracking in an attempt to get above that ceiling of 45% or 47% or 48% or whatever it is? Because the people who didn't like Jan 6th, 2021 are staying away? Or will this be like abortion where he goes back and forth depending on the storm it causes.

It wasn't hard to figure out which way the court cases were going, look at the vote totals, or find officials to vouch for the process. If this jackass wanted to know, he could have known.

I guess maybe it isn't good to surrender all of your critical faculties to a pathological liar and conspiracy thinking. Reality has a tendency to take revenge when you divorce it.

42. How many MAGA cult members are either dead or in jail because of Trump's Big Lie?
Mon Sep 9, 2024, 03:44 PM

In yet another Interview, Donald Trump admits he lost 2020 election "by a whisker."

If he had told the truth from the beginning, Ashli Babbit would not have died on January 6th.

Trump doesn't want you to see this video because it proves he has blood on his hands. Pass it on.

Capitol police have no choice when an armed group breaks windows and charges into the office of the Speaker of the House. Just like the Secret Service must act if someone rushes the Oval Office.

How many MAGA cult members are either dead or in jail because of Trump's Big Lie?
