"Breaking news! Our owners are about to get richer, and we're totally shocked by that"!

I really hope that the Dems leadership actually listens for once. Chasing these mythical "reasonable Republicans" has not worked, will not work, and will continue moving the Overton window further right.

So I'm sure that's exactly what they'll do. Could we please get another party that actually represents people???

Exactly as they planned.

Mission accomplished, for them

Fuck all of them, I say

Until prime time tonight when Fox News goes after them for being "disloyal"

I'm a weird psycho then. When the infotainment screens are available, I like watching other people's screens. I've seen The Spy Who Dumped Me twice with no audio. I think I've got a pretty good grasp of the plot though.

 

President Donald Trump is demanding the release of Tina Peters, a former election official who parroted Trump's 2020 election conspiracy theories and is serving nine years in prison for compromising the security of election equipment.

In a post on Truth Social last night, Trump wrote that "Radical Left Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser ignores Illegals committing Violent Crimes like Rape and Murder in his State and, instead, jailed Tina Peters, a 69-year-old Gold Star mother who worked to expose and document Democrat Election Fraud. Tina is an innocent Political Prisoner being horribly and unjustly punished in the form of Cruel and Unusual Punishment."

A real chaotic good move. I like it.

The answer is obvious. He doesn't support due process

Which of the many other scandals is he trying to distract from with this?

I don't think it's a clear rebuke of Trump when only 17% of the voting population participated. If anything, it's a clear sign that if you can get more people out to vote for you in an off cycle, special election, which probably received little publicity, then you'll probably win.

Had turn out been higher, I would be willing to bet that it wouldn't have turned out as a win for the Democrats.

That all said, I'm glad Ramirez won.

Edit: Fixed a typo

 

Both fans and foes are getting in on the bidding war for Alex Jones’ media company -- or at least trying to.

Some harbor hopes of continuing Jones’ brand of conservative rants and conspiracy mongering, while others dream of burying it for good. Ultimately, the winner may take all, including even Jones himself, since the company running the auction says there would be nothing stopping a new owner from rehiring “key employees and talent.”

 

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' Infowars media platform and its assets will be sold off piece by piece in auctions this fall to help pay the more than $1 billion he owes relatives of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, under an order expected to be approved by a federal judge.

 
 

The ever changing lore is a wonder unto itself.

 

Alex Jones, who spread lies about the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary that killed 26 first-graders and staffers, has dropped efforts to declare bankruptcy and agreed to liquidate his assets in order to finally start paying the nearly $1.5 billion in damages he owes the victims' families.

 

New York CNN — Elon Musk says he may restore conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ account on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, pending the results of an unscientific poll of his followers.

Seems odd that Elon is considering this so soon after Tucker's interview with Alex. They're all shit heads, so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.

 

Sandy Hook families who won nearly $1.5 billion in legal judgments against conspiracy theorist Alex Jones for calling the 2012 Connecticut school shooting a hoax have offered to settle that debt for only pennies on the dollar — at least $85 million over 10 years.

 

He's definitely not mad at the crew.

 

Looks like Mark Bankston is taking on Musk. Keep it up Mark!

 

Both Republicans likely need the support of Democrats to prevail in their battle over the speakership. Here’s how that could shake out.
