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!

Wait, I could swear he popped like a balloon in his car? No way would the fine folks at info wars tell a lie.

The Alex Jones you see is an imposter. The real Alex Jones, now deseased, would never stand up against Trump for starting an illegal war based on lies and conspiracies.

[–] Catma@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago

Gonna be honest I have not thought about Alex Jones since Knowledge Fight ended. Honestly I think its been way better for my mental health but I do miss having some inkling as to what is going on in the insane right grifter community.

[–] YoFrodo@lemmy.world 78 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

I only want to hear about Alex Jones when hes paying the families he harassed. I dont give a shit what he thinks otherwise. Fuck Alex Jones

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

I wouldn't mind hearing about him falling down a flight of stairs, being bitten by a rabid bat, or getting lockjaw.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 17 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, that's hardly true. I also want to hear about Alex Jones when he's (a) living penniless on the streets, (b) suffering a painful and humiliating disease, or (c) dead.

[–] PenguinMage@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

I would like that as a timeline actually.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 13 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Alex Jones will never pay for that and he will always desperately try to stay popular enough to sell his snake oil.

[–] Nomad@infosec.pub 1 points 6 hours ago

Yeah well him using his clout to oppose Trump is a good thing. Broken clock and all that ...

[–] ThanksObama@sh.itjust.works 47 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

Pretty sure I recently saw on Infowars that his head blew up and he was replaced with a doppelganger. Really makes you think they're on to something. A truly fine news source in this age of disinformation.

Stop wasting all of your urine by flushing it down the toilet! Turn that piss into gold!

[–] Asafum@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I absolutely fucking love what they are doing now! It's absurdly hilarious... Such a good show now

[–] eurodyne@piefed.world 2 points 34 minutes ago (1 children)

Tim Heidecker does the voice perfectly

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 minutes ago

I'm worried about his throat though.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 12 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

The evidence is incontrovertible. :sips hogwater:

[–] ThanksObama@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Hogwater is fucking delicious.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 5 hours ago

With a nice crab salts chaser.

I fucking love that channel.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I'm gonna need a link to that 👀 that's hilarious

What has the onion done, that wasn't even funny

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 minutes ago* (last edited 8 minutes ago)

Guys I've found Alex Jones his Lemmy account!

  • People who don't find this funny: Alex Jones
  • People who find this funny: everyone else.
[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 26 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Alex Jones desperately tries to remain relevant, news at 11.

[–] a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

He's more relevant now than ever. This is the first time I've actually elected to watch Infowars. XD

[–] eurodyne@piefed.world 2 points 35 minutes ago

Infowars has gotten much more entertaining lately

[–] nomecks@lemmy.wtf 7 points 14 hours ago

Alex Jones should love the draft. It's the easiest way for the government to "Deport" brown American citizens. Off to Iran they go, into the meat grinder!

The grift gotta have contingencies lest he the STRONG PATRIOT BETA CUCK be know as a grifter who sold out his own country to foreign capital. He is clearly apart of the sea of deep state fascist international dildos who flood the zone with nonsense to diffuse revolutionary potential. He is no different from those who went to the island.
