Also was there any follow-up on the lady that shot up Dallas-Love Aiport? It's kinda sad/disturbing I haven't been able to find anything else on it.

In Mexico. Last night my friends asked me if I had seen people walking, which I hadn't. Apparently over the last few weeks several thousand people have walked the entirety of coahuila. Apparently the governor of the state has an agreement with Abbott that if anyone even LOOKS like a migrant, it's illegal to carry them in train, bus, truck, taxi or uber, forcing them to do the dangerous mountain passes and the chihuahuan desert on foot. This helps "solve the problem" of migrant deaths on the texas side. I haven't heard ANYTHING about this in english media

Tweet is blocked by some stupid thing because I don't have a twitter account, can only see some replies. Flagging it as possible adult content or some such bullshit.

Send a tip to the Tribune see if they are able to follow up on that and verify it. Wouldn't surprise me if it were some sort of handshake under the table agreement Abbott would try to make with all the governors of the Frontera.

Abbott did rather noticeably meet with the governors from the Mexican states bordering Texas to come to a deal to stop his illegal trade blockade.

It just says what I said and the video is an interview with someone who was in the airport during the shooting talking about the woman making an announcement that her husband was a cheater before shooting.

The damages part of the trial is based on a default judgment which is basically loving worthless in Texas state courts. The Texas Sup Crt will dismiss all of it in a one page opinion.

Yeah definitely this. I would say they have significantly different audiences too. Glenn has definitely brain poisoned a good bit of people who think they know a lot about politics. Rather than the absolute baby brains who follow Jones.

I like how he slowly turns red through the scene and by the end we're supposed to think that he is at a full on 10. That's barely a 3 for 2022 Alex Jones. (also I haven't seen this in years, but that's clearly San Jac up by 15th right)

I see him all the time cut into youtube videos as "crazy man loudly ranting about nonsense" because those moments taken in isolation are hilarious.

I'd guess as he's radicalized media outlets are less and less inclined to carry his poo poo. Especally with this sandy hook conspiracy poo poo. You can always view his stream and send him money directly (please dont)

I'm so tired of listening to asshats in restaurants and bars bitch and moan about how all those damned stimulus checks just made it so that people never had to work again for the rest of their lives. The government, of Donald Trump, just gave all those lazy pricks so much money they all stopped working.
