‘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.

His candidates did so well in 2022 the Dems are trying to stop him by any means possible.

I have no idea what fantasy world you are living in.

Trump is trying to take credit for the safe bet races of people like Rubio, Grassley, and Rand Paul when he talks about his "93% winning endorsements!" but the real test is how did Trump's picks do in the swing states he lost in 2020 but will need to win in 2024 if he wants to have a shot?

Let's take a look at Trump's "hand-picked" endorsements (not the people running in safe seats who would've won no matter what):

Governors:

Lombardo: W
Lake: L
Mastriano: L
Michels: L
Dixon: L
Perdue: L

Senate:

Johnson: W
Walker: L
Masters: L
Oz: L
Laxalt: L
Bolduc: L

Secretaries of State:

Finchem: L
Karamo: L
Marchant: L
Hice: L

These are the critical swing states Trump needs to win and the voters in these swing states were not buying what Trump was selling.

These voters absolutely rejected Donald Trump and if people can't see that, I can't help.

I'll repeat it for clarity: Swing state voters absolutely rejected Donald Trump.

And these are going to be the same voters in '24.

That's why the NFT post on TS had the words “major announcement” in big bold letters at the beginning.

An incontrovertible fact that many here have willfully ignored.

"Crazy people went into the US Capitol on J6 along with FBI informants and operatives who baited them in.

But some of folks who were lured in just walked around. That should not be a crime.

But the level of what people did on J6 has been elevated in some cases to Al Qaeda level criminality and in all cases it has been blown out of proportion."

Yeah, no sympathy whatsoever for someone like Gakked Alaska. Reminds me too much of whoever is running these #Ronlims on this site :

"The charges concern a visit Gionet made to the state capitol last year, which he captured himself on the Baked Alaska livestream. In a video viewed by the Phoenix New Times before it was deleted, Gionet showed himself tearing down a “Happy Hanukkah” sign on a menorah in front of the state capitol.

“No more ‘Happy Hanukkah,’ only ‘Merry Christmas,’” Gionet said in the footage, according to the Phoenix New Times report."

I mean, you need more?

"One problem for Gionet: he is currently facing charges that he maced a bouncer who kicked him out of Giligin's Bar And Shrimp Hut in Scottsdale last month. The incident, also caught on a livestream by one of his associates, led to him spending the night in jail and catching misdemeanor charges of assault, disorderly conduct, and criminal trespassing.

Gionet was released without bail, but Scottsdale prosecutors said in a filing Friday that a condition of release was that he stay in the state of Arizona and continue to follow the law. They're asking a judge to revoke his release for violating those clauses."

I don't know how we can make this point more clear. Trump was in office for 4 years. He had the power to fire the heads of any agencies, appoint replacements, obviously appoint the AG, etc.. and if anything, it all got worse.

And now, you guys say anyone who actually believes in cleaning that up is the enemy unless they support Trump - the guy who failed to do anything about it after four years in office.

Trump's heart may be in the right place, but he lacks the focus and attention to detail necessary to actually follow through on his rhetoric.

I posted at #101 that these Trump Card announcement correlates with a 2018 posting from that controversial infamous Q ..

So, Q didn’t predict these Trump Cards in 2018.
Q noted that Trump Card is Coming in 2018.
And Trump Cards came.
Timed to that posting by Q.. in 2022.

I have no idea if the media is supposed to tie Q’s Trump Card and Trump’s Cards together, but Trump tied them together with the timing..

And timing is everything.
Or timing is nothing.

There are people that don’t trust the Government, they are suspicious.
Those people look at the situation and figure how it could be bad or how someone can misuse or take advantage.

Then there are Q Followers.
They tend to over think a situation, to point of using their imagination.

They have been groomed to believe that the conspiracy can’t be something as easy as let’s say greed, it has to be something outrageous and beyond belief.

****For example (example ONLY) A car bomb exploding near an office building isn’t really a car bomb. It’s a hit by CIA for the NWO using a newly developed Drone with a laser. The explosion was to cover up a Pedo sex ring using secret tunnels under the city that are used to hide and store children from Ukraine that Russia sent to Chris Wray in exchange for top secret info about the Arctic Circle.****

It (whatever “it” is) must also be large. It must be on a scale that includes the World, cabals, not one organization but many.

In order for their theory to be accepted within the Q Community.

In 2016, Trump beat one of the most despised politicians in recent history, who was affirmatively disliked/resented by a bunch of the folks in the current Democrat coalition. And he barely beat her.

More like your self-pwning acknowledgment of a complete lack of perspicacity, which is the hallmark thus far of you 3 Ronlims ... that remain ...

So you don’t think there was election fraud. Okay - that’s what i call delusional. Let’s agree to disagree.

That tweet is going under the “No sh-t Sherlock” category. I don’t need an NFT salesman to tell me our country is in very deep trouble. My sympathy if you do.

Are you yapping about the guy who barely beat a down-low, no-good, hopped-up jive-ass meth addict by 0.4% -- just 32,463 votes out of 8,220,494 cast.

The guy who lost nearly ALL the Florida metros, from Rush's mansion all the way down to Key Largo, and got beat down in Orlando.

That guy?

Or are you talking about the Deep State taking their hands off the scales for one. single. election. out of the last 7 presidential elections?

Simply because Cankles had simply po'd both Deep State reps Brennan and Comey past their personal saturation point, and Shrill had no plans whatsoever to satisfy the incredible, built-up consumer demand about to explode in 2016, long after Schumer unwound the residential real estate market in '08 with the IndyMac letter, in order to elect Obama.

A gambit that paid off in the short term against McCrisis, but failed in the long run, as Bobo was unwilling to let Americans guide themselves out of this Century's first global Depression? Is that what you're talking about?

Yeah, sure. They were all stolen. Whatever.

But I'll play this game. If Trump and his hand-picked candidates lose every election due to fraud, maybe we should find candidates who won't let the Democrats steal their victories?

The posers can’t refute those in government attempted to criminally undermine, compromise and overthrow Trump, but then they’ll tell you these same people would never tamper with or try to manipulate elections.

Those would be Banana Republicans, swamped approved, Americans Last candidates..
We’ve had those. Bushes, Romney, McCain.. as Presidents or Candidates.
Two were designated losers who Trump exposed as frauds and anything but MAGA..

See what Trump caused?

The R vs D Con..

Now, it’s R and D vs MAGA.

One 4 year term of MAGA did that.
Exposed the Rs as Swamp First

Many many many of them.

Trump vs Republicans is the state of the Banana Republican party..

Amazing how a non politician can stir the swamp up..

Trump is a failure? How so? The communists agree with your position by the way. Drew and the commies... standing together. This alone should give you pause.

The Left doesn't support Trump because, well, he's to the right of Che Guevara. We don't support Trump's 2024 campaign because we're tired of losing elections and having Operation Warp Speed touted as some kind of success by the guy who had the power to fire Fauci and didn't for some reason. Different motivations, same conclusion.

My leftist neighbors agree with me that the sky is gray right now, that winter is colder than summer, that fire is hot, and many other provable facts. Trump being a terrible candidate is just one of those facts that is acknowledged by both sides of the aisle.

"He’s the leader of the party."

And that's why we continue to lose. Do you realize just how AWFUL the mid-terms were??? Biden is the worst President in history and we barely scraped a majority in the House and did nothing in the Senate. It was embarrassing. So the "leader of the party" needs to go. Especially when all he does is talk about 2020 and sells trading cards of himself. Complete embarrassment, IMHO.
