I don't believe Alex Jones really believes a lot of what he says but he's created a character that plays well with the lunatic right/conspiracy nuts etc and I'm sure he's done very well for himself out of it.
What you are watching is a performance of course. I suspect Trump probably admires him on some level because he knows a good bullshit artist and salesman when he sees one.

He admitted as much in his child custody case a few weeks ago.

Actually, I think maybe it was his lawyer who said it and portrayed him as a performance artist ... don't recall what Jones actually said.

Not strictly true. There were a LOT of Republicans who continued to fight against impeachment, right up until the so-called "smoking gun" tape emerged - days before the resignation. It's true that Republican support for impeachment was necessary, but it came only once the hardest possible evidence was staring them in the face.
Not even then, for some!

Earl Landgrebe of Indiana went on the Today show on August 8, 1974, and said, “I’m sticking with my president even if he and I have to be carried out of this building and shot.” Incredulous, the NBC interviewer asked him about the just-revealed smoking gun tape, which demonstrated that Nixon had been lying about his participation in the coverup for almost twenty-six months: this was a fact. “Don’t confuse me with the facts,” Landgrebe infamously retorted. Hours later, Nixon resigned; and those words became the only thing for which anyone remembers Langrebe.

Consider this: leaving aside Trump's unpredictability, we may be better off with him than a president Pence because Pence may actually be able to do the things Trump would like to do (in the arenas of gutting the Dep't of Education, the NEA, etc., tax cuts for the rich, stewardship for a comprehensive dismemberment of the ACA and so forth), but can't as a) he's completely incompetent and b) the whole apparatus of Congress is basically too busy attempting to make sense of Trump's daily catastrophic fuck-ups to do anything else.
I mean, imagine if the GOP had, as by rights it should, a well-oiled machine right now.

Re: President Donald J. Trump
Putin is openly trolling Trump now
From the Guardian daily Live Blog of the US Clown Car Crash.
Russian president Vladimir Putin has offered Congress a transcript of Donald Trump’s Oval Office meeting with Russian officials as proof that Trump did not reveal any intelligence. It was not immediately clear how Putin would have such a transcript available.
Earlier this morning Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff called Putin “Probably the last person [Trump] needs to vouch for him right now”.
A few moments ago in the White House, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell asked secretary of state Rex Tillerson if the offer indicated that that Russians had wiretaps or bugs in the Oval Office, to which Tillerson replied “I would have no way to know that”, and left the room without answering any additional questions.

I'd say this neo-McCarthyism has more to do with this reflex, especially by HRC supporters and the MSM, to blame Russia for supposedly hacking the DNC computers and slipping to Wikileaks the incriminating evidence that the scales were tipped toward Hillary when the DNC is required by its charter to be neutral.
Meanwhile …. Seth Rich. I hadn't brought up his mysterious murder because it was too conspiratorial even for me. But now new evidence that it was Rich who slipped the emails to Wikileaks is all over my internet.
Question authority.

What reflex? Nobody blamed Russia out of reflex. They blamed Russia because the intelligence implicated Russia.

I thought the whole thing about McCarthyism (the original version anyway) was that you didn't name names, merely made up numbers to suit the occasion.
Am I the only person here who finds Jimbo's co-opting and rather scattershot use of the term "neo-McCarthyism" to be not so very far away from Tailgunner Joe's own brand of empty rhetoric back in the early 50s?

First came the worrying trend of referring to himself in the third person.
Then there were last week's dark, Paul Burrell-like murmurings about "my sources"
Now it seems he has his acquired his own internet. Respect!

Re: President Donald J. Trump
I still think he'll cut and run - the Presidency is less important than saving his own hide. He'll find a way to save face, leave office and he'll be back to criticising from outside before you can say "Fox & Friends"
He might even attempt to blackmail a new administration by threatening to divulge secrets
