The gravy train is off the rails': Pro-Trump grifters fighting for scraps as their social media sche

This will be fun to watch




Former national security adviser Michael Flynn and attorney Lin Wood are feuding bitterly, along with other election conspiracy theorists trading insults and recriminations, and reporter Ben Collins -- who tracks online extremism -- explained what was happening to MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

"The gravy train is off the rails, that's what's really going on here," Collins explained. "Over the past year these people have been banned from traditional social media places like Facebook and Twitter, and all those people providing donations in those spaces, because they had so many eyeballs in those spaces and they were gaming the algorithm of those spaces, because of that, they're just not getting as much income -- straight up not happening in that space. In the process they try to create the parallel internet, a parallel infrastructure, I guess to create a second version of this internet."

turffing operations. It is kind of like hey, my gang of online and radio & thugs versus your gang of radio and online thugs.

And even the turff is winding down.

thugs is a train wreck of epic proportions, coming in to slam into these thugs and bankrupt them, for all of their wrongful utterings, mouthing off at innocent people, companies, etc. (Dominion, trump's former mistresses, etc.). I'm hoping that these court ordered settlements will bankrupt these idiots.
