He's trying to steal Trump's job. Do you want Trump to be living on
the streets with no food and no friends?
That’s all John DeJong needs.
More competition…
This is why John has to paint everyone who isn't kicking in Beefaroni
bucks as a heretic. It's Cult 101.

How many "boxes" does John check? (At least so far.)
I counted 8 not including "half points". Some even deserve 1.5 points.
"Checklist of Characteristics
Deception lies at the core of mind-manipulating and high-demand
("cultic") groups and programs. Many members and supporters of these groups/movements are not fully aware of the extent to which they have
been abused and exploited. This checklist of characteristics helps to
define such groups. Comparing the descriptions on this checklist to
aspects of the group with which you or a family member or loved one is
involved may help determine if this involvement is cause for concern. If
you check any of these items as characteristic of the group, and
particularly if you check most of them, you might want to consider
reexamining the group and its relationship to you. Keep in mind that
this checklist is meant to stimulate thought. It is not a scientific
method of "diagnosing" a group.
We suggest that you check all characteristics that apply to your or your
loved one's group, then print this browser page for future reference.
You may find that your assessment changes over time, with further
reading and research.
1. The group is focused on a living leader to whom members seem to
display excessively zealous, unquestioning commitment.
2. The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.
3. The group is preoccupied with making money.
4. Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.
5. Mind-numbing techniques (such as meditation, chanting, speaking in
tongues, denunciation sessions, debilitating work routines) are used to suppress doubts about the group and its leader(s).
6. The leadership dictates sometimes in great detail how members should
think, act, and feel (for example: members must get permission from
leaders to date, change jobs, get married; leaders may prescribe what
types of clothes to wear, where to live, how to discipline children, and
so forth).
7. The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself,
its leader(s), and members (for example: the leader is considered the
Messiah or an avatar; the group and/or the leader has a special mission
to save humanity).
8. The group has a polarized us- versus-them mentality, which causes
conflict with the wider society.
9. The group's leader is not accountable to any authorities (as are, for example, military commanders and ministers, priests, monks, and rabbis
of mainstream denominations).
10. The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends
justify means that members would have considered unethical before
joining the group (for example: collecting money for bogus charities).
11. The leadership induces guilt feelings in members in order to control
them.
12. Members' subservience to the group causes them to cut ties with
family and friends, and to give up personal goals and activities that
were of interest before joining the group.
13. Members are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the
group.
14. Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only
with other group members. "
PS: The cult of Max Beefaroni should be reported. It could be your child
next. After all, look at his convict daughter.
