This video made a lot of rounds today.

That brief moment when he's in that stupor is priceless.

Lemon definitely didn't get the answer from her that he wanted and didn't know what to do with the answer he got. He could've handled it better, certainly. She wasn't wrong, though.

Breaking: OccupyDemocrats pocketing PAC funds that didn't go to any candidates.
RT IF YOU THINK THEY SHOULD ALL GO TO JAIL!

Sorry, I hate all the political accounts that operate like this. Not only are they annoying, they cater to the lowest common denominator. They just feed sheep on both sides of the aisle.

Don Lemon going 0/2 in the last week.

Not shocked. They are not good people.

However, you would be surprised how often this happens. When I worked in politics, we knew of an organization operating in 10-15 states that sent frequent scary emails to people on stolen distribution lists. "Dems are taking this away, send money" type things would go to several hundred thousand people and supported with videos of these bums on the Capitol steps of each state. They did no lobbying, no political spending, nothing. Then they paid a media company owned by.... their brothers to distribute the millions they were raising. We could see the money in from donors and out to the media company on public filings. One of the lead scammers left the crime ring and now is the chief of staff to a current US House Rep in Georgia, whom you could probably guess. We tried to raise the flag on it, but election types said it wasn't ethical, but the laws built around it weren't strong enough to prosecute.

What do people make of Cuomo and his new gig doing "non-partisan" news. I'd love to believe he's sincere, but I'm kind of skeptical.

 

[Irish#1]

NewsNation is trying to be that unbias outlet we need, so maybe they set down a set of rules and made it clear he is supposed to stay in his lane? I don't have anything to base it upon, but I always felt he was greatly influenced by his brother. Now that his brother has come under scrutiny, he may do okay.

Saw an ad for it recently. I support the idea, but I definitely have a hard time believing he can pull it off given his history and the family connection. I won't be tuning in either way, I cut the cable cord last year.

This fool can’t possibly be worth that much,… right?? Please say he isn’t worth that much

Dang, Bruv....

Looks like it could be worse than that. Reuters now says he's going to end up paying almost $1 billion out:

Alex Jones must pay Sandy Hook families nearly $1 billion for hoax claims, jury says

Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones must pay at least $965 million in damages to numerous families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook mass shooting for falsely claiming they were actors who faked the tragedy, a Connecticut jury said on Wednesday.

www.reuters.com

I imagine they try to appeal that amount. The argument was Jones profited off his bogus claims, driving traffic and money to his business over the conspiracy. To the tune of $1 billion though? Seems excessive. I don't want to trivialize the loss of those families, no amount of money will bring their children back, but Jones is estimated to be worth $150-270 million and it's said he possibly makes $70 million a year. I don't see them getting $1 billion when all is said and done and Jones has already filed for bankruptcy in June it looks like.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

My heart pumps piss for him and all of his apologists.

He could be hitting up Payday Loans here soon. I would guess there may be some type of insurance coverage, but not $1B. He's getting what he deserves.

This ABC producer/reporter, James Gordon Meek, had his home raided back in April by the FBI. Nobody has seen or heard from him since, and he abruptly left his job for "personal reasons" at the time. His last tweet was from the morning of the raid. He was working on a book about the withdrawal from Afghanistan at the time of his disappearance. The FBI won't comment on any ongoing investigations.

When lib journalists and politicians claim to care about democracy, this is what they mean. HR1 was meant to preserve democracy, aka keep Democrats in power at all costs. Dems don’t care about democracy, only power.

I just saw this and it made me laugh.

I may have to move to Ukraine if Repubs get the majority. At least the Ukranians are willing to fight for their country.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

What a shit show this is going to be.

 

[ulukinatme]

Only blue checkmarks care about blue checkmarks. Twitter in the past hasn't been consistent on who gets them and who doesn't.

It's a slap in the face to every douche bag that worked hard for one.

Probably, but like I said, they haven't been consistent on who gets approved and who doesn't. There are public figures with tens of thousands of followers that haven't been approved, and then they'll have someone new to the app that gets in right away with 200. Kayleigh McEnany's Press Secretary account never was verified with 5.9 million followers. John Boyega's account actually lost it's verification for a time last year, but it looks like it's back now.

 

[drayer54]

Prepare for stories about how Democrats got screwed.

 

[ulukinatme]

If Oregon turns Red I'm guessing it's the fault of the idiot extremists ruining Portland and other places along the coast like Seattle.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

I'm curious to see the app's consistency moving forward. Free Speech for $480 a year sounds like a bad time.

Don't forget how the blue checkmark verification came about. Someone created an account pretending to be Tony LaRussa. LaRussa sued Twitter.

 

[drayer54]

Left-wing media is just pretending this election isn't happening.



Meanwhile, the "comedians" are spreading disinformation related to elections.
