craiginthe6.bsky.social8Also, this douchenozzle is a self-described "Alpha Male" in his X profile. NOTE: actual "alpha males" have no need to announce to everyone that they're an alpha male.
Urban Larson7This is the guy Trump tried to name Ambassador to Malaysia but Malaysia wouldn’t take him because of his blatant Islamophobia.
Cath RN, PhD6What I remember about him: he charged his employer in Australia for 🚕 rides & 📱calls. Then he applied for the same job in a different ward, & messed up again, was to be fired & he quit. He applied for an Einstein Visa 3xs & finally got it by kissing Repub ass on his 📕 tour. He’s a loser & grifter.
craiginthe6.bsky.social6Gee, I wonder why he goes by Adams and not Adamopoulos? 🤔
Michele Lamb5MAGA influencers are grifters. Name and shame them all.
Mike9Of all the scummy people in the MAGA sphere, Nick Adams is the one I begrudge the least for scamming people because if you ever saw his old Tim Tebow tweets it has been obvious for years that he’s completely full of shit.
Jacob Harris5I would argue that he is teaching Trump Admin Civics very well then
NEW: Nick Adams’ Foundation for Liberty and American Greatness has brought in millions in donations and helped him land a State Department appointment, but records show there is almost no indication FLAG was spending that money on its stated mission.
Sean Wardwell18There's no quit to the grift.
Kyle Schwerin17Wait, this is a real person? I thought that account was literally satire about toxic masculinity lmaoooooooooo
Mr. Beat10I'd love to see these "civics lessons" they "teach."
Veterans Against Trump6Another maga scammer. Big surprise, they're ALL either thieves or sex criminals or both.
Vox Nihili4Grifters flocking to the US. Understanding that prosecution is unlikely and, in any event, a pardon is in fact very likely.
meatloaf social4a maga related grift? never.
Jim Swift11A grift not for ants, but giants.
Ethan Sacks7Definitely teaching kids how MAGA politics works.
Ben K.5Every GOP org’s stated mission is to enrich its founders. Do you expect them to be altruistic?
Dave Czaja4I had almost forgotten all about Nick ... the Alfalfa Male!
Luke Herrine4Sounds like he's teaching them the workings of US civics just fine
Academician Prokhor Zakharov4Grifts all the way down
Stephanie; We Are All Pretti & Good🌻2There are a lot of charities that are disguised grifting operations, where the CEO/Founder is pulling in a hefty paycheck. Check them out through sites like Charity Navigator.
This MAGA Influencer Runs a Charity to Teach Kids Civics. Much of the Money Goes to Him Instead. www.propublica.org/article/trum...
Eldritch Millennial8I honestly thought this guy was doing some kind of satire online. Like he is so fucking ridiculous I thought it was a joke. Of course conservatives are just fucking marks man.
Zaggs2Isn't this basically every MAGA influencer? Maybe in 2.5 years we can deport him.
cɹitical tomɐto2my mans has a small possum nesting on his head
Chris Neyland2That’s how the Republican cult works. The best grifters transfer millions of dollars (billions in the case of Dear Leader) from the rubes to the grifters. It has always been such.
johnsonaz.bsky.social1MAGA corruption? Who would've thought 🤔
Stuck In Green Acres1MAGA is synonymous with "fraud" and "scammer"
It turns out that the “civics education” non-profit run by Australian “Alpha Male” MAGA influencer Nick Adams is an enormous grift. This is my shocked face. www.propublica.org/article/trum...
Seth Cotlar8I’ve been a bit obsessed with Nick since I first ran across him in the first Trump admin. This is a thread with some of the greatest hits by this quintessential character of the Trumposcene. bsky.app/profile/seth...
grooveholmes.bsky.social1And I remember his brand was cartoonish sycophancy. He would say things like Trump would have been in the NFL if he didn't go into business. Bring back shame.
Lorraine Berry1I think they mistake “civics” for “civility” and their version of civics for “obedience.”
The craziest part of this story is that I thought Nick Adams wasn't real person--that he was a satire account created to make fun of MAGA. The idea that all those statements were even partially authentic is so laughable and pathetic.
M. Pants10I'm in shock he's real
shaunofthedead.bsky.social2I went back and forth on it for YEARS back when I was on Twitter and it was only like 80% hell site, and I specifically remember seeing one tweet that sealed it for me, he's an excellent parody but this time he went a bit too far with the schtick. Apparently, I was wrong 😂
Haggy2I think he’s self-aware and uses his over the top posts as a cover for his actual fraud
Dr. s.c. Harlatan2I'm still not convinced that he isn't satire. Feeding off the gullible MAGAs is no contradiction.
