Some great movies on those lists tbh. There Will Be Blood is a goddamn masterpiece. Though it isn't too pleasant towards priesthood so I do wonder how it holds up amongst the right wingers.

It is sickening how the crypt keeper brings up such a horrible incident to defend American-Mussolini.

The good Ol' "gotta cover everything or nothing at all" argument. I assume that FOX always give both sides equal amount of exposure in any given issue from now on.

Trump could be shot in the head on live TV and die and his handlers would insist that he's making a speedy recovery.

Same, along with the Deegan and Dobson mock threads. A golden age for mock threads, until two of the comics ended, and the Dobson one devolved into weird internet stalking of his life.

Yeah it’s unfortunate but mock threads tended to end with some members being a bit too enthusiastic at finding something to laugh at.

I love the Star Citizen threads and I’m glad that the people there seem to know the limits.

There’s a non-zero chance that he’ll try to run for President in ‘24, and he probably wants to see if he, like Trump, can wash off any dirt thrown at him before that.

The episodes around January 6th are very interesting. The day itself one of the lesser InfoWarriors kept on rooting and hollering about it being a great victory and all, only for Alex to stumble in later to try and pin it all on infiltrating Antifa, because Alex Jones is a grifter first and foremost, and backing a failed coup is no way to make money.

It’s all the more obvious nowadays when he seems to mention Trump pretty much never.

yeah. i am mixed on how much jones actually believes(it doesn't matter but still a fun topic). personally i think he does believe a bunch of his own bullshit including the insane school shooting poo poo but he clearly isnt loyal to trump and he knows that if he stays loyal, he could get sued even more and investigated or some poo poo.

I’m pretty sure he’s genuinely anti-vax and genuinely Christ crazy (he does talk a lot in evangelical terms, and says the literal Devil is behind the globalists). Anything in between all that can be changed as needed.

He’s also a white supremacist, no doubt about it. I guess what I’m saying is he’s a real rear end, but the particulars of his assness is interchangeable depending on the mood of that particular day.

Q is the only thing to stupid for Jones to get involved with.

My take on it (through Knowledge Fight, they’re my in-between to his madness) is that he is jealous of Q’s popularity. But Q is also too esoteric for him to truly control or monetize. Alex Jones doesn’t really talk about vague villains and heroes with no faces. It’s Trump, or Jesus, or God, vs. Bill Gates, China, Satan, etc.

An interesting point KF pointed out a while ago is that Jones’ insistence on him not advocating exactly the sort of things that January 6th was is very obviously bullshit because his rhetoric is very much “THIS IS THE END GAME THEY WILL LITERALLY KILL US ALL WITHIN THE MONTH THIS IS HAPPENING THEY ARE COMING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY” over and over again. If you’re a listener, and you take him as being sincere and serious, then taking violent action against the state makes perfect sense.

The fact that he himself is only in it to sell nutrients to doomsday preppers doesn’t really excuse any of his messaging, when the people on the other side of his broadcast are sharpening knives while mapping out the best way to attack the closest Planned Parenthood. It’s vile.

I mentioned this in the USNews thread, but "Lock Her Up" chants have a lot less bite when Trump did gently caress all to arrest her after being the head of the executive branch for four years

It’s hilariously on point for him to make absolutely no effort to evolve his messaging. Even on January 6th there was complaints that his insurrection speech was mostly the same old poo poo as before.

Would Crowder feel sorry if, say, AOC or Bernie Sanders was diagnosed with this ailment and suffering greatly from it?

Ponder this before you decide if he’s worthy of your compassion. I know where I stand and I know I’m completely comfortable with it.

Like, to be clear: Crowder would monetize the suffering of others in a heart beat. We know this.

The last few episodes of Knowledge Fight has been wild.

The funniest thing about Cruz is that he still thinks he can be president. Even if he got the nomination I expect it would be one of the lowest R turnouts in decades.

My dream scenario is for Trump not running in ‘24 and then see how Fox News will flail about trying to find their golden calf. Cruz will run but to no avail. Pence? He’s toast. Maybe it’s time for Rudy!

Didnt Jones's lawyer also give the court child porn/CAI because they gave ALL THE EMAILS instead of just the "relevant" emails? that seems like another unforced error.

That’s one thing to keep in mind in regards to Info Wars vs Fox News: Fox News would hire truly spectacular defence lawyers with a budget to the moon.

Infowars hires their best buddy’s uncle who is totally innocent of that DUI charge from last week I swear.

Another thing I thought about regarding that deposition is that I think the lady, whatever her name was, is probably a true believer in the batshit stuff, because she *can* be, not being a public figure for the company. All the actual talking heads on IW like Alex are grifters first and foremost, so Alex can, when he sees the jig is up, bluntly admit that yeah, those e-mails are horrific. The woman can’t bring herself to do that because she hasn’t had years of hypocritical internalising that tells her when to switch off the crazy.

She drank the Kool-Aid while Alex just pretended to.
