I finally kicked the Reddit monkey. Please forgive me.

When an entire political party can’t be honest about who they are… wow

Lie to yourself if you must, but don’t expect anyone here to believe it

;)

Yabba dabba doo

This was the inspiration for Downtown Abbey, btw

If you can’t deal with the things I didn’t say, goodbye

That just proves that you are pre-canned arguments are not prepared to deal with reality

Still not my fault

Why would Iran want to assassinate Trump?

Edit:

Steven Cheung, the Trump campaign’s spokesperson, said the briefing concerned “real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate [Trump] in an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States”.

I’ve never noticed a difference on either end

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not as bad as schilling for the Russian plant Jill Stein— or acting like a traitor to promote a foreign power during an election.

You don’t know anyone like that, do you?

That production equipment goes along with infowars the media company, I would assume. Unless it’s all, like, leased from someplace.

Edit:

INFOWARS (as a Package)
• Production Rights & Materials
• Domain Names
• Social Media Accounts
• Podcast Sites
• Newsletter Subscribers
• Production Equipment (Optional)**

**Note that the option to bid on physical assets (i.e. production equipment) as part of this offering will only be as a bulk offering in combination with an Inforwars Intellectual Property bid. If the physical assets are not sold under this offering, they will be offered through a piecemeal auction currently scheduled for December 10.

apparently the equipment does belong to infowars, it’s just the purchase at auction is only an optional part of the package. Otherwise, they’ll be sold off later.

it seems so innocent, lol

Because it’s selectively enforced in order to oppress Black people

ah, so, apparently, fascism is caused by decades of sexual oppression, denial, and self-hatred erupting and being directed outward at others.

this would be far more interesting if it didn't also mean the downfall of democracy.

Facing the consequences of your actions is not a form of victimhood

I was shooting heroin and reading “The Fountainhead” in the front seat of my privately owned police cruiser when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was the chief.

“Bad news, detective. We got a situation.”

“What? Is the mayor trying to ban trans fats again?”

“Worse. Somebody just stole four hundred and forty-seven million dollars’ worth of bitcoins.”

The heroin needle practically fell out of my arm. “What kind of monster would do something like that? Bitcoins are the ultimate currency: virtual, anonymous, stateless. They represent true economic freedom, not subject to arbitrary manipulation by any government. Do we have any leads?”

“Not yet. But mark my words: we’re going to figure out who did this and we’re going to take them down … provided someone pays us a fair market rate to do so.”

“Easy, chief,” I said. “Any rate the market offers is, by definition, fair.”

He laughed. “That’s why you’re the best I got, Lisowski. Now you get out there and find those bitcoins.”

“Don’t worry,” I said. “I’m on it.”

I put a quarter in the siren. Ten minutes later, I was on the scene. It was a normal office building, strangled on all sides by public sidewalks. I hopped over them and went inside.

“Home Depot™ Presents the Police!®” I said, flashing my badge and my gun and a small picture of Ron Paul. “Nobody move unless you want to!” They didn’t.

“Now, which one of you punks is going to pay me to investigate this crime?” No one spoke up.

“Come on,” I said. “Don’t you all understand that the protection of private property is the foundation of all personal liberty?”

It didn’t seem like they did.

“Seriously, guys. Without a strong economic motivator, I’m just going to stand here and not solve this case. Cash is fine, but I prefer being paid in gold bullion or autographed Penn Jillette posters.”

Nothing. These people were stonewalling me. It almost seemed like they didn’t care that a fortune in computer money invented to buy drugs was missing.

I figured I could wait them out. I lit several cigarettes indoors. A pregnant lady coughed, and I told her that secondhand smoke is a myth. Just then, a man in glasses made a break for it.

“Subway™ Eat Fresh and Freeze, Scumbag!®” I yelled.

Too late. He was already out the front door. I went after him.

“Stop right there!” I yelled as I ran. He was faster than me because I always try to avoid stepping on public sidewalks. Our country needs a private-sidewalk voucher system, but, thanks to the incestuous interplay between our corrupt federal government and the public-sidewalk lobby, it will never happen.

I was losing him. “Listen, I’ll pay you to stop!” I yelled. “What would you consider an appropriate price point for stopping? I’ll offer you a thirteenth of an ounce of gold and a gently worn ‘Bob Barr ‘08’ extra-large long-sleeved men’s T-shirt!”

He turned. In his hand was a revolver that the Constitution said he had every right to own. He fired at me and missed. I pulled my own gun, put a quarter in it, and fired back. The bullet lodged in a U.S.P.S. mailbox less than a foot from his head. I shot the mailbox again, on purpose.

“All right, all right!” the man yelled, throwing down his weapon. “I give up, cop! I confess: I took the bitcoins.”

“Why’d you do it?” I asked, as I slapped a pair of Oikos™ Greek Yogurt Presents Handcuffs® on the guy.

“Because I was afraid.”

“Afraid?”

“Afraid of an economic future free from the pernicious meddling of central bankers,” he said. “I’m a central banker.”

I wanted to coldcock the guy. Years ago, a central banker killed my partner. Instead, I shook my head.

“Let this be a message to all your central-banker friends out on the street,” I said. “No matter how many bitcoins you steal, you’ll never take away the dream of an open society based on the principles of personal and economic freedom.”

He nodded, because he knew I was right. Then he swiped his credit card to pay me for arresting him.

In her dispatch on the event, Jane notes that Trump didn't even bother to show up and instead spoke to attendees via telephone about his planned tax cuts for businesses.

Lmao, asshole literally phoned it in

“Nazi leader celebrates murder of Jews”

“Confederate leader celebrates lynching of escaped slave”

Or this guy is making shit up in order to cover for a violent hate crime. Since the first thing someone does after getting raped in the ass is to go to a target, get a knife and then go to the nearest airport and stab someone

“Sorry, guys. Instead of making a decent product and sell it at a reasonable price, we’re just gonna pay our executives a huge dividend and then give up. Bye! 🖕🏻

PS: Not at all sorry, lol”

Call his bluff. They have a pretty small group of LARPing cowards, we have the National Guard. And as slow as thr courts have been getting the January 6 assholes in jail, I’m pretty confident that the next “incident” will be dealt with much more swiftly.

They are still gay furry hactivists. I’m sure another worthy cause will come along for the likes of Furnonymous…

Institutionalized, systemic gaslighting, a product of fascism

Terrifying

Edit: not even our most horrifying fiction has imagined such a thing, yet here we are, my god…

Edit 2: no, maybe, briefly, on a smaller scale, there was Arkham Asylum and something similar in a Star Trek TOS episode, but nothing on quite this scale, nor with children…

Well, he was a registered Republican…

I was listening to a podcast earlier, and they mentioned the fact that their legal liability may, in fact, be limited because of specific wording in most of their contracts.

In other words, they may actually get away with this in the short term. In the long-term, however, a lot of organizations and governments that were hit by this will be reevaluating their reliance on such monolithic tech solutions as crowdstrike, and even Microsoft.

So you may be right, but not for the reasons you think.

i've never heard of it. maybe that.

also, you'd pretty much have to pay me to go see a film in the theater. i can't think of something id enjoy less than sitting in an uncomfortable chair for 2 hours to endure other people talking, pulling out their phones, shitty kids making noise, sticky floors, etc... no thanks. it's 2024, and i don't have to go to a shitty theater and shell out $50 and sit around several dozen assholes just to watch a movie. I can sit comfortably at home in silence, with food and weed and pee breaks. FOR FREE.
