      We keep reading about Russia being hit by devastating blow after devastating blow, but they keep coming.

              People who are able to draw causal connections between different things might think that withholding weapons from Ukraine and not making progress with Putin might actually be related.

                    OK, you made me look at AJ's X account.

                    It would be really funny if an amazing number of people wouldn't take this seriously. This is so over-the-top idiotic.

                              Easy.
                              They go with "whatever Trump says."

                              Say, anyone seen @Jolly lately? He used to have interesting interpretations for what ever Trump says.

                                  AJ and CO are both punditry entrepreneurs (or grifters, if you prefer) who have no problem differing with whatever Trump is saying that week.

                                    It's not difficult to see AJ's and CO's trajectories as audience capture, selling fun conspiracy wackiness to the fringy people who want to buy it. From there it is human, if weak, to believe one's own BS to some extent. These lines of "true belief" are always murky.

                                      It would be funny if someone from the White House did in fact tell her that just to see how much stupid she would perform.

                                      Years ago I worked with a guy who believed in all kinds of conspiracy theories. He got word of the fact that I was supposed to be in the twin towers on 9/11 but wasn’t. When he asked me about it I looked him in the eye and deadpanned: ‘Well, my wife’s Jewish so we got the call the night before’.
