Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Wasn't this man fined a gazillion dollars? How is he still able to say things and have me hear about them?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 month ago (2 children)

He's currently in the process of having all his assets auctioned off to pay a small fraction of what he owes. Unfortunately the most valuable thing he has is his audience, and he couldn't auction them away if he wanted to.

He'll be in enormous, inescapable debt for the rest of his life, but he'll always have thousands of people willing to listen to him.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Dang. It's like he's using an asset to lessen the impact of a legal penalty. If only there were some form of legal penalty that were equally impactful on all people regardless of how well-resourced they were.

Unfortunately the most valuable thing he has is his audience, and he couldn’t auction them away if he wanted to.

Dang. They could be so useful, e.g. as landfill.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

After eating ourselves into a heart condition, the nation's favorite pastime is making stupid people famous.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I think he and his lawyers are up to shenanigans trying not to pay.

Now we know where Empty G got her "theory" from.

Why doesn't she tell Trump to change the direction of the hurricane with his Sharpie?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I heard from a reliable source that "they" also have a functional gender-swap ray gun - it was actually a happy accident they stumbled upon when they were trying to develop the weather control gun.

It's quick, effective and eliminates the need for messy surgery and hormones that magas can ban.

They have already targeted the majority of the right wing figureheads in the media and the maga party. Jones, Hannity, MTG, Shapiro, Musk and many, many more. They've all been gender swapped and are desperately trying to keep this hidden from their supporters.

If you see strange behavior, nonsensical ramblings or angry tirades, this is one of the side-effects as their mind struggles with the sudden gender change.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nuh uh, because I heard that you just go to school, and then you come home with an operation. That's totally how it works.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Well yeah.

They say those are metal detectors for guns. But really they’re gender swapping ray machines.

This is why being a teenager is so hard and confusing. Imagine getting you’re gender swapped two times a day!

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago

They have to push this story because they previously blamed all natural disasters that affected Democrats on God's judgement.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That man should either be committed to an asylum, or be in jail. Because he is either insane or a conman.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Why not both?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I lived in Austin for 10 years. I can confirm he's both.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The fact that anyone believes this bullshit makes me not want to live in this world anymore.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Right there with ya.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If the government could control the weather, Trump would have used that power and never shut up about it. BUT...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

You've got to be a real idiot if you think the government can control the weather...

It's the Dems and Jews that can do that. You know, using space lasers. Get with the program.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

If we're going to be dragged kicking and screaming back into the barbarism of the past by these people, let's at least bring back the thing where we cut out liar's tongues.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Oh shut up and pay up already.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Why is this guy even allowed a platform when he owes that much money? I swear, rich grifters get away with everything.

There should be repo men there taking everything from his mic to his internet modem, in order to pay back his victims

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Supposedly they've already been to the infowars offices to make an inventory for the auction, which is happening soon. Of course he'll continue the grift, but he's been blatant ly running afoul of the bankruptcy court by sending his supporters to spend money at something owned in his dad's name. Check knowledge fight for updates.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Because people are still listen to this fuckwit, even after all the shit he's done & owes.

Every single penny he makes needs to be garnished.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

"You want some proof? By my Boner Vitality Shake Mix. Each order comes with a packet of evidence. I SWEAR!!"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

On the other hand, Alex Jones is not in control of his mental functions, obviously.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Just like MTG this guy deserves none of our attention.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Why is anybody still talking about this idiot

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Sick of trad media using outrage to get clicks

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

If she had such a weapon and was ruthless enough to use it, she'd go for northern Florida, not the peninsula.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Someone needs to get this guy 5150'd. For real.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Full 180 on anthropomorphic climate change then?

This fucker is as stable as any tankie.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Massive storms that cover the entirety of Florida can be created by Dems in a matter of days, no problem. Raising the global temperature by a few degrees over decades is impossible, though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

X-Men Storm as president sounds neat!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Bro about to get a judgment on his Facebook page 😂

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

"Batshit crazy fearmongering peddler yells at clouds."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Alex should be more concerned about which dumpster he’s gonna have to dive into to get his next meal, and not about hurricanes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I realize not all republicans are like this but the fact that they draw so heavily from it should really make their membership question supporting them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Alex is wrong. There are no weather weapons.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Succinctly put

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Sometimes for fun I like to think that these alt righters are saying the truth because that means Kamala is hella powerful and would be even better for our empire.
