Too bad Alex Jones supernatural powers doesn’t allow him to clearly see things that happened in the past like Sandy Hook, 9/11, etc. I have no idea what Fucker C thinks Alex can see in the future, but I assume it just more litigation over his dumbassery. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > NH state legislator and future registered sex offender opposes a bill to raise the minimum age for marriage to 18 because it will discourage “ripe, fertile” teenagers from making babies. Reported on the same day that Elon Musk announced he’s going to restore white nationalist Nick Fuentes’ Twitter account – who among his many revolting pronouncements once said he wants to marry a 16-year-old because “that’s right when the milk is good.” The other NH Rep quoted in that article is dead right – Republicans love to call Democrats “groomers,” but they’re the ones who have the weird fetishistic focus on pubescent girls and their fertility. ---
