      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.

          Do you think CO and AJ believe their own bullshit?

            I stopped trying to understand magats. I just can’t. They’re a different species.

              “Alice laughed. 'There's no use trying,' she said. 'One can't believe impossible things.'

              I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. 'When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!”

                Easy.
                They go with "whatever Trump says."

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

                  But compared to these people, Trump is a rational, fact-based persona. They are completely off the charts.

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

                    Education is extremely important.

                      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’.

                                Just 5 hours ago Odessa was hit by Russian drones. The Chinese consulate was damaged.
                                It appears that the drones contained Chinese components...

                                  I'd imagine most drones do.
