> [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > Alex Jones is considering suing his lawyers for malpractice. No, no, this is all part of his plan: he’ll have to hire new lawyers to sue his first lawyers. Then, when his second team fails to get the judgment he wants, he’ll hire a _third_ team of lawyers to sue the second time for malpractice in not getting a judgment of malpractice on the first team. By the time he pays all those legal fees, he really _will_ be bankrupt, and the Sandy Hook people get zippo. ---

I have to say, the RepubliKKKan party would have been in much better shape today, if they had gone with the 25th amendment on January 7 or 8, and immediately removed Trump from the office of the presidency. Just torn the bandaid off, and made it abundantly clear that Trump was suffering from mental illness, and they were doing him a kindness by removing him so that he could get the help he so obviously needs. ---

> [@Railer13](#): > > Cannot vouch for the accuracy of this source, Any news outlet that relies on the word of “an insider,” “a snitch,” and “it was claimed” (i.e. no-one) doesn’t rate very high in my estimation. Many people on this board have said that That Man would throw any of his children under the bus if they strayed from his leadership and direction, and that may be what’s happening now. I don’t think we need to suppose that the former first lady’s influence is either necessary or sufficient for this outcome.
