They scheduled their press conference on garbage day. And the cameraman or woman preferred added insult to injury by filming the garbage collectors. I just... wow.
Either this duo is doing this intentionally to entertain or troll people, or they're so incompetent I feel bad for them. It's like watching the terrorist wannabes in Four Lions, except it's real. |

I already mentioned their tough-guy security guard who was photographed wearing crocs in the snow in Minneapolis. This line from the Washingtonian article on their "press conference" made me snicker.

Honestly Burkman looks like he's wearing a suit from the Herb Tarlek collection in that article photo.

Sounds like Wohl may have committed a serious crime, and once again, did it in a comically incompetent way.
Did a Far-Right Star Recruit Jacob Wohl to Terrorize Women?

That sound you hear is a lot of the people on the right saying "Jacob Who?".
Yeah, a charge of selling phony stocks, having little to do with politics, might be what puts his fanny in jail rather thin his disgusting political antics.. Sort of like Al Capone and income taxes. And this guy is not nearly as smart as he thinks he is.He has had zero success, and has become so toxic that even others on the right keep their distance. |

Jacob's a great guy, a great guy! He's done a fantastic job. Lots of people don't know that. He's been horribly treated by the Dems who want open borders. They want open borders because Mexico isn't sending us their best; they're sending us rapists, murderers and small pox! Small pox can be prevented by vaccination but the Dems, under Obama, who want open borders, don't care. I'm in favor of vaccinations so Jacob's done a great job! That's what people are saying and I agree.

A return to his roots. He started his career as a grifter with securities fraud. He hold the record for the youngest person to be banned from life from a securities exchange. This is a pretty stale charge, just under the wire for the 3 year SoL. Wohl has moved on to political grifts now, scamming investors is out of fashion. |

That's giving him more credit, there was not much of a scheme here. He just straight up lied to investors about the performance of their investments and was unable to pay them out when they wanted their money. I don't think the scheme went on long enough to even be considered a scheme, he just ripped off some gullible schmuck.

The problem isn't that there are so many stupid people, it's that so many stupid people honestly believe themselves to be very clever.

Oh,I have been a strong advocate for term limits in Congress for a long time....
No, it's not a total solution . But anything that increase turnover, and makes things more competitive is good, And then there is the chance if someone knows that they will only be congress, at most, for around ten or 12 years, and they can't make a career out of it, they might be more liable to vote on a touch issue in a way the might not make them popular in their district, but will be the best for the country at a whole. |

Almost missed his latest Cargo Cult attempt at a scandal where he claimed a 24 year old Marine was in a BDSM relation with Elizabeth Warren. The claims had fallenapart before the “press conference” had finished. No trash collection this time.

And her response is one of the best responses to any smear attempt ever.
But this just doesn't make any sense. What was the point? That her sexual relationship with this guy was somehow a problem? Compared to Trump's attempt to pay off a porn star to avoid having it known he had an affair with her right after his wife gave birth to their child? Somehow, that is a reason to not vote for Warren? It's just weird. |

Classic Wohl. It's self-parody now.
Consensual kinky sex is bad I guess. Even if it were true, it'd be kinda cool actually, imho. Maybe the angle is that it's wrong because she supposedly paid him. So prostitution. The fact that the guy couldn't keep a straight face while reading the statement Wohl wrote for him pretty much tells the story. |

Does any think maybe cranking out a bunch of absurd, easily debunked, conspiracy theories is part of the strategy?
Flood the news cycle with this nonsense to distract form real issues and to wear people out. It lets "respectable Republicans" bunch the credible accusations against them and Trump as goofy conspiracy theories. |

I don't think it's Wohl or his boot licking father's plan. (NB: His daddy is a Trump adviser). I think its the billionaires bank rolling this. The Wilkes, the Kochs, the Mercers etc etc. They set these idiots going and then have their "more respectable" employees like McConnell and Graham bunch them with Democrats.
