  1. Fuck yes, get fucked Jones https://www.npr.org/2025/08/13/nx-s1-5501648/alex-jones-infowars-receiver A state judge in Texas Wednesday ordered Infowars' assets to be turned over to a newly-appointed state receiver, who will sell them to pay the families of the Connecticut children killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. They won a $1.3 billion defamation case against Jones after he spread bogus conspiracies that the shooting never happened and the grieving families were actors. His listeners harassed the families for years. The move paves the way for the receiver — or sheriffs — to start the process of seizing cash and property owned by Infowars and its parent company, Free Speech Systems, within days. The families, who've spent some three years in federal bankruptcy court trying to collect what Jones owes them, could start seeing their first payouts through the state court in weeks or months. "The families are pleased that the court has placed InfoWars parent company into receivership, which will finally lead to accountability for Alex Jones' monstrously cruel harassment" said Mark Bankston, one of the attorneys for the families. ... The newly-appointed receiver has the power to "collect all accounts receivable… change the locks to all premises at which any property is situated… access all storage facilities, safe-deposit boxes, [and] real property… and exercise control over any website [of Jones]" according to the order. The order adds that "any Sheriff, Constable or officer of the Peace shall assist the Receiver in carrying out his duties and exercising his powers under this Order." "Now that there's a receiver in place, Alex Jones is no longer going to control the Infowars brand. It's time to shut it down," said Avi Moshenberg, one of several attorneys for the families. Legal experts agree, a sale to The Onion is more likely now that Infowars' fate has shifted to Texas state court.
  2. Putin isn't doing anything wrong, he's just doing a bit
  3. Going to be? It's a Tijuana donkey show already
  4. Turns out the new BLS guy was literally on the Capitol Steps on Jan6, I'm sure he's a real straight shooter
  5. This crop of youths have strong fundagelical vibes, which strongly contributes to the regressive posture towards sex
  6. what is it with chuds telling people to "cope" or "cry harder" and whatnot? Saw it a ton yesterday from imma's buddy stassney and it's like they're spiking the football on being a shithead. Really strange antisocial stuff.
  7. it's so funny to me that Elon has burned tens of billions of dollars to build data centers to train a bespoke LLM - and it STILL tells him he's an asshole
  8. Good context from Chad Fuck Lee HS was built in 1962 and almost certainly named as such as a "fuck you" to desegregation and integration, considering the "black" HS was named after George Washing Carver. Separate but equal and all that very fine stuff.
  9. Trump Tower Moscow is back on the menu, boys!
  10. Honestly, shouldn't governments be putting up for large socialized costs that grant a large socialized benefit? That's kind of the point of a functional society
  11. Not TACO, it's the despotic leader saying "sure is a nice business, it would be a shame if anything happened to it..." And then seeing what sort of concessions and bribes he can secure. Apple did it last week with the glass and gold offering
  12. Oh c'mon, it's not like the person unilaterally steering our entire economy like an emperor has a history of bankrupting multiple casinos and basically every business he touches
  13. I've seen a single asshole with an MBA boldly lead businesses into the shitter with increasing regularity, it's really wonderful America is being ran like a business by businessmen now.
  14. sure is great that 'ol chuck is that guy then
  15. Also, lmfao at imma seriously arguing that the Internet has no impact in real world life. Steven Bannon and his masterful weaponization of gamergate hope you keep evangelizing this mindset. Qanon and January 6th were fueled by the Internet whipping a bunch of chuds into a froth with disinformation and hate and trolling. People tried to assassinate AND HAVE ASSASINATED multiple elected officials because of the insanity that's been pumped by MAGA online conspiracy theories.
  16. The general crypto markets thread? The one that keeps getting bumped by the permabanned Russian troll? Lol you'd be mad about someone posting mean things in an Enron thread too I bed
  17. Sounds like a troll. Strange how the moderation team differentially moderates trolls depending on if y'all like them or not The mods only care if it's progressive or thoughtful. Hateful disinformation ala pronghorn and trolling by shitposting ala stassney are always allowed, as is known. It's only "being an idiot" if chuds aren't calling you WOKE(!!!!). Otherwise, blacklab gives you a timeout for """shitposting"""
  18. Lulz just like how they stopped testing and publishing numbers during the start of COVID. At least they're consistent with strategy
  19. My wife and I are trying to figure out if our family is going to be (1) or (2). We both have deep family history in Texas, and love what this state could be but hate what it chooses to be. It's only gotten worse in this state for my entire life: education, roads, public services, on and on its all worse due to neglect. It's frustrating to be in this position of just wanting to be able to focus on being the best dad I can be for my daughter and best husband for my wife, while watching their rights be actively stripmined. I don't know what I can do to fix this - voting hasn't done shit, nor has engaging with my elected representatives. What would our Dear Leader immamac suggest instead? Upping my burnt ends donation and drinking till I forget about it all?
  20. Historically speaking, failure to prosecute a fascist insurrection attempt all but guarantees that they'll return and gain power and never let it go again until many many people have died. I've been posting about it for the better part of five years now and people have finally stopped telling me I'm being alarmist or that I'm suffering from """TDS""". The craziest thing is that this is just the president following through with what he said he was going to do. "Freedom cities" is from 2023! Project 2025 has been pretty much pitch-perfect execution so far.
  21. Fully one third of the market is AI and AI vibe trades. It's wild. The music is gonna stop at some point, and then that economic calamity will be the impetus for the fascist crackdown. Like it's been speculated around here, trump the innovator is DIY'ing his economic collapse that most fascist movements pivot upon
  22. I'm curious, how much of Manafort and Yanukovich is in the book? Or does it end before Euromaidan?
  23. Much of the weeping and gnashing of teeth over bail is because we haven't expanded courts at all in Texas for decades despite the population doubling. Because of the right to a speedy trial, if they can't indict a person and bring them to trial then they kind of have no other choice. But nobody wants to pay for judicial benches and courts - just abandoned sections of border wall and vouchers for Christian schools
  24. I don't think users can delete their own posts, I think it's mods memory holing the bad behavior quietly and hoping they'll stop. However unfortunately, being an idiot is not against the rules.
