‘I Can’t Believe I’m Going to Jail for an NFT Salesman’: Jan. 6 Rioter Seemingly Done with Trump After Announcement Flop

The far-right streamer and Jan. 6 rioter known as “Baked Alaska” labeled former President Donald Trump a mere “nft salesman” after his teased “big announcement” flopped Thursday.

Trump riled up much of the political world Wednesday when he took to his account on Truth Social to hype a “major announcement” that ended up being a $99.00 NFT trading card of himself dressed as a superhero. The announcement drew mockery, ridicule, and concern from conservatives.

Baked Alaska is a White nationalist former MAGA streamer whose legal name is Anthime Joseph Gionet. He was among many who gave Trump’s latest money-making venture an icy reception.

Four days after his banned Twitter account was reinstated by Elon Musk, he tweeted, “[I] can’t believe [I’m] going to jail for an nft salesman,” he wrote.

Gionet pleaded guilty to assaulting a security guard at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. He has been sentenced to 30 days in jail but is currently waiting to begin serving the sentence.

Gionet streamed the attack online and the footage has been used in multiple cases against rioters.

Trump lost the GA Senate seat in 2021 by telling people to stay home.

Most likely, the votes for Perdue were "adjudicated" into Libertarian US Senate "votes", in order to throw the vote into a runoff.

Georgia Libertarians:

 US Senate     US Senate    GA Governor
  2022	        2020           2022
Chase Oliver  Shane Hazel   Shane Hazel
    81,353      115,039       28,162

Amazing how former Marine Shane Hazel was able to force David Perdue into a run-off in 2020 - but he couldn't get anyone to vote for him a scant two years later.

MEANWHILE, the LGBTQ poofter Libertarian Chase Oliver suddenly gained a huge following - forcing Herschel Walker into a run-off in 2022...

Methinks that a bunch of Perdue and Walker votes got "adjudicated" into Libertarian "votes".

Heck, Kemp probably peeled a bunch off Shane Hazel in the governor's race.

Nice to have the inside track on the machines, like former SOS Kemp and current SOS Rattenspewer both do.

You know, the fact you all have to keep flailing about that Trump’s real announcement was about free speech (and it was a good speech), means that the effort was a failure.

Never mind if some point out that the “MA” tag was put on the NFT stuff. Even if not, the speech got lost because of the commercial.

The speech 'got lost' because the MSM blacklisted it. Congress is still trying to make it impossible for Trump to run for office in 2024, while at the same time trying to indict him for no reason. There's a reason our enemies fear him still, and his showmanship outshines anything they have going.

And there is nothing unusual going on in America these days.
Former first lady goes to great length...makes crap up..fisa signed..FBI involved Hilary lawyer lies under oath and nothing happens..MSM Trump guilty..Biden gets a pass.

MSM very quiet about Biden.
I’m sure there’s nothing to it.
I certainly don’t want to come across as some crazy conspiracy nut.

There is no debate. Your questions were essentially a personal attack.
Let me reword your supposed legitimate questions.

“Are you sure you aren’t too dumb to think for yourself?”

That’s the essence of your question.
I have no desire to continue “speaking” with you.

Trump lost the GA Senate seat in 2021 by telling people to stay home. He backed unelectable candidates and contributed to the very poor showing in the midterms.

Trump didn't tell anybody to stay home. In fact he was told by the establishment to stay away from the run-off races. And then you turn around and blame him for it.

He needs to be gone. If that doesn't happen until he loses in 2024, you and your compatriots have no one to blame but yourselves.

Actually, if he loses in 2024, you self proclaimed stay-at-homers can be blamed.

Do the math. Have some self awareness of your say-at-home position and how it causes an outcome that is self fulfilling.

“You people who idolize or worship any politician”

I don’t do that at all. I hate their guts.

The ones I agree with I’m highly suspicious of.

I do rank them and support the one that I think is going to result in the most freedom and liberty.

Congress is dying to pass a Bill of Attainder against Trump, and the “it’s time for the USMC to intervene” part of me hopes that they do.

He tricked many into reading his policy statement by trolling them with playing cards first.

This silly line of thinking is even worse than those that tried to change the context and tense of Trump's statement calling for cancelling of the rules of the Constitution.

NO ONE is perfect, let alone Donald Trump. This is coming from someone who was a great admirer of his long before he even ran for President.

The people who are endlessly defending his ever increasing number of misteps by trying to distort the obvious reality of his very own statements, are actually hurting him, not helping.

That's because real people, want other real people to help deal with our real problems. Double talking misleaders are what we are fighting against, and by turning the Trump army into a bunch of reality deniers is only making them the enemy.

But it seems to only be feeding itself, into an ever more rapidly self destructing conclusion. Sadly. But no one can endlessly deny reality, not even Donald Trump.

Yeah, right.

They'll just claim the '24 election was stolen and only Trump can defeat the deep state and drain the swamp in '28.

Here is what you began the discussion with:

“This NFT thing was stupid and absolute ammo for his detractors.”

I said you’re not considering alternatives

Now. You’re saying:
“There is no debate. Your questions were essentially a personal attack.
Let me reword your supposed legitimate questions.”

?

Aside from any point anyone is trumping to make here on this thread, why is it that people are ok with calling Trump stupid?

If Trump wins the primary, then I’ll look in the mirror to see if there was more I could’ve done. But I think he will torpedo his own campaign long before that. And honestly, if you have a problem with me not voting for a man who eats dinner with Kanye and Fuentes after their recent actions, I don’t know what to tell you. I’m never voting for him again. It’s that simple.

“It just means democrats are much more intelligent and know how to fight“

I am looking at this through the prism of political strategy. Trump was among our greatest Presidents and would be again. The rats are not more intelligent but they are more ruthless and total devoid of scruples. The NFT thing is another flub in my view, no big on it’s own but these things begin to add to each other. The odds are stacked against us and every miscue digs the hole a bit deeper.

He's fighting a one-of-a-kind war with one-of-a-kind tactics and some refuse to accept that. Instead they want conventional, predictable tactics like the ones that have failed for decades, and the failure of conventional means lead us to the precipice, from which Donald J. Trump is the only one with unpredictable tactis needed to save our nation from enslavement by globalists.

Communications is a military basic. He's attacking the Deep State's main strategy used to harness the public to their will; indoctrination through CIA/FBI/NSA driven propaganda and indoctrination. Some people don't like how that 'looks,' but it's working.

Trump was the best president in my life time. If Trump is the nominee against the evil Democrats, and you want to stay home and not vote, because Kanye brought an uninvited guest to Trump's large outdoor dining area, then good luck with that.

Just don't blame others when the Democrat gets elected and finishes destroying our country.

By your "some people" reference you're referring to Steve Bannon, Steve Cortes, and Sebastian Gorka who all said to FIRE EVERYONE at Mar-A-Lago on Bannon's show Thursday.

They know this wasn't Trump's idea, it's too idiotic. It's time you come to that realization too, and help clean the current house of advisors, instead of continuing to defend their stupidity.

You namethe negative opinions of three people I’ve never watched as if it outweighs the danger we are in, the progress Donald Trump is making in unifying the country against the Brandon regime, and the fact that no one else comes close to Trump’s record. NO ONE has ever lured as many on the left to his side as Donald Trump has. It’s the unity the Brandon regime hates because that’s the missing ‘piece’. Divided we fall, united we stand.

Since you admittedly don’t even seem to know who Steve Bannon is, here’s a short clue for you:

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Steve-Bannon

In August 2016 Bannon became the executive director of Trump’s then-faltering campaign and was credited with bringing discipline and a stronger focus on messaging to it. After Trump surprised the political pundits and pollsters by defeating his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton, he named Bannon senior counselor and chief White House strategist.

Exactly. The press has gone wild trying to ignore Trump’s actual speech.
