    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’.

                I think he didn’t know whether I was kidding or not.

                  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.

                      Wait a minute.

                      I thought this war ended on January 21st, 2025. That was 24 hours after President Trump was inaugurated. Did I miss something?
