we've been trying to tell you non-believers since last summer. of course, joe loves this and will make himself "thrive" off of this attention and self-imposed adversity. he has that type of sick personality that probably prefers things this way in his life - as evidenced by so many previous public examples - so that he can eventually "rise up again" and tell everyone "y'all doubted me, but i told you so!"
he'll fukk things up...but make himself the victim and the hero, as well. it's pathetic, but common.
