US Politics XXXV: My Insurrection Lasted More Than 4 Hours - Page 32

MrsSpringsteen · 08-05-2022, 05:27 PM

A Texas jury on Friday added $45.2 million to the damages that conspiracy theorist and media personality Alex Jones must pay to the parents of a Sandy Hook shooting victim as punishment for repeatedly claiming the school shooting was a hoax.

I read something about an expert testifying today about how wealthy Jones probably is.

Methinks you could find the info with Google fairly easily by typing in "Alex Jones", doubt you need to go beyond the A-l till several articles about the ruling today pop up.

Guys, all he asked for was a link to the article. Come on now.

For me, my pet peeve is actually quoted paragraph text not in a quote block.

MrsSpringsteen · 08-06-2022, 09:30 AM

It came up as a breaking news notification on the Newsbreak service I have on my phone. It's not CNN, not Fox. I was busy dealing with something work related at the same time, so I didn't take the time to link it.

Honestly this is the kind of petty crap that makes me not want to be here. Time for another break.

LuckyNumber7 · 08-06-2022, 09:46 AM

It’s not petty crap. You’re overreacting a bit. That wasn’t even pointed at you. BW does it all the time. It was a general comment.

Bluer White · 08-06-2022, 02:58 PM

Sorry, MrsS. Didn’t mean anything by it.

You erase them in the books before you do so in real life.

Think of the improvement to peoples lives this could have had.

$35 for insulin when so many are dependent on it. GQP is about $ and death.

For most people it can cost hundreds of dollars a month for something that cost $20

BEAL · 08-07-2022, 03:21 PM

I know sleepy Joe isn’t everyone’s favorite choice to lead, but has anyone had a better two years in office ?

He’s gotten major legislation done despite a opposition party who would rather let everyone die than work together….

Been some setbacks too but it is pretty impressive considering how shit the country is

Irvine511 · 08-07-2022, 08:00 PM

Honest question: why would you block a cap on insulin prices?

I know they’re just mean, but surely there’s some sort of political strategy behind it?

Surely?

LuckyNumber7 · 08-07-2022, 08:11 PM

A lobbying has asked them to do so and that’s that.

I guess the two sides really are the same.

Lobbyist* pardon me

I know this is sarcasm, but with the way our media frames everything it does appear that way.

Dems FAIL to pass insulin cap provision.
Biden unable to get his party to pass x, y, z....

Yet nothing ever states the truth:
All GQP members vote to strike down bill
GQP filibuster x, y, z
McConnel states he will not pass any legislation when Democrats are in WH

We have one party that is literally sabotaging the quality of life in this country. Their inaction, stubbornness, and hatred of the Government + Liberals has real world consequences. All of it leads to death.

Guns, Anti-Science/Public Health Measures, Abortion-Healthcare, anti-LGBT policies, LYING

But the Democrats take lobbying $$ too so clearly they're the same.

So the FBI just knocked on Trump’s door today!

Can’t imagine they search his place without having the utmost confidence they believe he’s holding evidence of a crime
