Joe Walsh continues to surprise me




Occam's Razorback and 15 others liked

Joe Walsh
@WalshFreedom
A prisoner commits suicide in a federal prison. The Justice Dept immediately launches an investigation. And the President of the United States immediately retweets conspiratorial shit accusing a former President of having the prisoner killed.

Defend that MAGA world, I dare ya.

9. His Wikipedia page claims it was the Helsinki summit that turned him against Trump.

In July 2018, Walsh rescinded his support for Trump after his Helsinki summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying "I will never support Trump again" and calling him "a danger to this country."[108][109][110][111] In October 2018, Walsh criticized Trump for making statements he thought promoted violence.[112] In April 2019, Walsh called for a primary challenge to Trump for the 2020 presidential election.[113] In July 2019, Walsh said that he is considering primarying Trump, as well as saying that Trump's "entire life is a lie".[114]


But that makes no sense. Trump was an obvious Putin puppet from day 1. And a liar from day 1.

12. He's also a border wall devotee and doesn't believe in raising the debt ceiling.

He is a deadbeat dad. He's very Trumpian. Yet he doesn't like Trump. So odd.

4. My right wing inlaws are already reposting Facebook memes that the Clintons did it.

The memes were probably started by Russian trolls. But they don't care. They have no shame and have completely detached from reality. And they represent 42% of America. Truly horrifying.

30 years of conservative brainwashing already has these people tweaked-out to believe in, quote the Clinton Body Count on quote.

He tweeted that, and 40 + percent of the country already believed that they did it. Now since he tweeted it the media won't start talking about it, which will start to eat into the quote middle unquote.

As of now probably half the country believes that they did.
