Ariel Pink of music fame popped along for a bit too it seems. https://pitchfork.com/news/ariel-pink-tweets-about-attending-pro-trump-white-house-rally-yesterday/
Anton Newcombe of Brian Jonestown Massacre then put out some enjoyable tweets about him

Ariel Pink has always been a bit of a "controversial" figure, says stupid things for attention. Musically he's better than Laurence Fox but politically they're about the same.

HUGE NEWS:

It wasn't pro-Trump protestors at all, it was FASCIST ANTIFASCISTS.

You heard it here first:

I looked up Mo Brooks (a Congressman FFS) and he has a double major in Political Science and Economics from Duke University - ranked 8th in the world.

All these fucking heroes resigning from Trumps inner circle with thirteen days left on his calendar can absolutely fuck right off.

Man they're so brave, and Mike Pence, what a hero, I can't believe he's come through.

Love it!

Lindsay Graham called the "rally" yesterday unseemly.

Lindsay Graham is a cunt

It's like they think they're clever for jumping ship before it sinks completely.

I'm missing it... This happening now? What channel?

What does being smart have to do with being truthful? Even if he knows what he's saying makes absolutely no sense, he's likely calculated that enough people less-smart than he is will take it at face value and run with it.

In some moronic circles, national socialism is considered a form of socialism.

It's quite widely believed in America that Hitler was a socialist.

Alex Jones has really toned up, he’s looking good.
