So the argument is that it was unfair to sell Infowars to The Onion, because they weren’t the highest bidder - rather, the Sandy Hook parents approved of this bid, and not any others that were higher.

BUT… Those Sandy Hook parents also agreed to forfeit a portion of their settlement in exchange for favoritism towards the Onion, making that bid the one that would cover the largest number of settlement dollars, which is the primary goal of auctioning off his assets in the first place.

So good luck arguing against this sale. The Sandy Hook parents have $1.4B worth of settlement dues to work with, and they know that they aren’t going to see most of it repaid in their lifetimes. They can keep conditionally forfeiting money until you’d need to pay hundreds of millions to acquire Infowars. If Elon decided to do that anyway, the cash would go straight to the parents, and he’d be opening himself up to massive liabilities the moment Alex Jones inevitably opens his mouth about Sandy Hook conspiracy shit on X.

How dare you.

You wanna sign the pro-Trump, pro-Fascism petition?

Republicans: “No. Research is useless.”

Yeah, until they enrage The Great Old Ones, and then we’re all fucked.

I have a 60TB media collection, so this would end up costing $600/month.

Instead, I back all my media up to LTO-6 tapes, and store them at a storage unit.

LTO-6 drive: $400 10x LTO-6 tapes (62.5TB): $200 Small off-site storage unit: $30/month

This is extremely funny given that he just resigned from Congress effective immediately.

Yeah, they need to pick themselves up by their bootstraps. If they wanted to retire, they should have saved enough dollars to afford dignity in old age.

They really are good businessmen

If you measure success by how much cash you can exploit for yourself…

Personally, I don’t really see that much value in the affirmative consent of the dead. Viable organs are hard to get, and save lives. I think it’s worth it to keep it opt-out.

We listen to them all the time. We hear the right’s grievances. How on earth are we supposed to work with people who believe in complete falsehoods?

“Transgenderists are cutting off little boys’ dicks and telling them they’re girls”

“Haitian immigrants are eating people’s pets”

“Planned Parenthood is performing post-birth abortions”

“Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are full blown Communists”

“Immigrants are destroying the economy by taking all the jobs and not paying taxes”

“Antifa burned Minneapolis and Seattle to the ground”

“Democrats run open borders and let illegals vote”

“Sandy Hook was a false flag to take away our guns”

“The 2020 election was systematically stolen by Democrats”

“The all powerful superhuman deity in the sky personally endorses my political party/candidate and the opposition are literal demons”

“Demons, spawned by Democrats, are attacking conservative TV hosts in their beds”

“Hillary Clinton run a sex trafficking ring out of D.C.”

“Hunter Biden’s laptop”

“Central Americans are invading America to rape our women”

What the fuck are we supposed to do when this is what the right presents us? These people literally pissed and shit all over the capital when they lost the 2020 election. Are we supposed to humor these shit stains?

If things are going good in your life you don’t need to be told by someone that it is, you just know it in your bones.

That simply isn’t true. The right propagandizes doom and gloom to their base every chance they get. Many conservatives live very privileged lives and still convince themselves that the country and their way of life is on the edge of oblivion. The wider that propaganda spreads, the harder it is to get anyone to see any of the actual progress in the world.

Those two sentences would be a lot less horrible if they weren’t prefaced with “THE FACTS:”.

But if Democrats actually took meaningful action to prevent Republicans from steamrolling our rights, what will they campaign on next election?

Talk you say? Buddy, even if the Democrats had the balls to try, it’s already too late. Republicans blocked Obama from his constitutional right to nominate a new justice. You really think they won’t do everything possible to prevent this?

Or if it did happen, you really think Biden is the one that will get to fill those seats?

Yes, famously anti-capitalist Conservatives…

Fascism is taking over and people are saying that they are planning to do nothing and let evil triumph. If you intend to sit on your ass for the next 4 years, you’re in the way of progress.

He isn’t, but if you want something different from the same establishment bullshit that we’ve had for decades, he’s the only option.

If you’re on the right, you have the populist/fascist asshole you’ve always wanted.

If you’re on the left, you either vote for neoliberalism to protect yourself from fascism, or you don’t vote at all.

This time around, the left chose the latter. We’re fucking tired, and it’s the Dems that wore us out by never listening to a single fucking thing we asked for.
