    He’s raised $175million dollars in donations since the election, following appeals to his supporters. The louder he yells, the deeper the hillbillies dig so he won’t be putting a sock in it anytime soon.

    Reminds me of one of those psychological social experiments, where they take a bunch of people, give them a preposterous scenario and then ask them how they would act. Nearly all of them answer that they would never get caught out or act in bizarre ways.

    If you were to ask these people if they would freely give their money to a racist, mysogyinist, pathological liar. They would all likely say no.

    Yet $175m later ....

    Human psychology is very weird. See the Stanford Prison Experiment or the Milgram experiment.
    This is more about cons, though. Once people commit to a con, they really take a lot to get pulled out of it.
    It's part sunk cost fallacy and part self-delusion. They just can't admit that they've had the wool pulled over their eyes.
    Start with the conclusion and work their way back.

    Yep this.

    Make your mind up, and then seek out any justification for holding that view. No matter how valid or credible it is.

    He's right, unfortunately. It's about sales.
    People have started getting their information from increasingly dubious sources too, so they never learn that they've bought a pup.
    All failures are because of the other and it will all come good if everyone believes hard enough.

    I remember climate scientists saying all they thought they had to do was show the evidence to politicians and they would act ....

    Le Tiss asks the questions we’re all too afraid to ask.

    You should be asking yourself why there’s been “literally zero coverage” as Le Tiss says. Apart from all the days and days of coverage on every news outlet pretty much in the world.

    There's literally no coverage of it. He only knows about it via psychic waves depositing the information directly into his brain.

    I’m surprised he hasn’t joined forces with Lawrence Fox and his new ‘party’. Writing articles in numerous right wing Nationals about how he’s been ‘cancelled’, oh the irony.

    Amazing how many of these goons don’t quite get the difference between fREeZe pEaCh & words having consequences.

    Brands have the right to make their own decisions on who they choose to represent them. Shocking I know.

    Looks like Le Tiss is headed for a new career as a ‘libertarian’. S*n radio awaits.

    I kinda agree with Le Tiss. I want MORE coverage of the allegations. The more coverage there is the more hilarious it gets. Giuliani melting in the camera lights, his lawyers talking utter drivel about the evidence, Trump going on about Venezuala. Funny as fck.

    How would ID help, if you go along with her bizarre, racist spiel? They'd look like the ID anyway, according to her.

    Why is there not more coverage of my theory that the PGMOL, the FA and Sir Alex Ferguson are all in league to thwart Liverpool? Okay, I'm a twat and it's not true, but it is a story, isn't it? :emoticon-0112-wonde

    So Rudy’s tested positive for COVID. I wonder whether he thinks the $20k a day is worth it now?
