So now we have yet another jerk trying to become the head of MAGA in the hopes that Trump will either be in jail or will otherwise find himself unable to run again in 2024.

I’m talking about Elon Musk who yesterday came out with a defense of Jacob Chansley, the guy who stood up in the Senate chamber on January 6th and rallied his ‘troops’ around the idea that what they had done by smashing their way into the Capitol was nothing more than politely taking the government into their own hands.

The pic above on the right is how Chansley dressed up on January 6th which got him plenty of media coverage both before and after the event. Was this asshole going to start selling various QAnon-related crap on a website when he got back home?

Think I’m kidding? Take a look at the Marketplace, page on the GAB website, an open-source chat room which promotes content for QAnon and MAGA brands.

Of course he was. In case you didn’t know it — that’s what QAnon and MAGA are all about.

Unfortunately, Chansley’s marketing scheme was interrupted by the Feds, who arrested him, charged him and convicted him of a bunch of felonies committed on January 6th which have just netted him 41 months in the cooler, minus time already served.
