He's probably not going to start a network, he's going to sell him name to one or try to get a show on OANN. He doesn't really have the money to start up a network or the ability to get the loans.

It's good to remember as well he has just a tidal wave worth of charges against the day after ingratiation, as well he might very possibly be banned from twitter.

He is going to be looking for a place to vent. A show on OANN where he can just talk about how everyone is against him just cos their jealous of his huge brain sounds like it would be exactly what he would be looking for.

Which would be great as judges and prosecution love it when defendants continue to talk loudly, publicly, and lyingly about cases while they're being tried!

the Marx Brothers.

Other then a few slow spots -which was the style at the time- the Marx Brothers movies are still just some great comedy. Lots of comedy dates horrible, but Marx Brothers and some of the silent era ones like Chaplin and Keaton films seem to be pretty much timeless.

Didn't that guy have to scrub one of his podcast episodes from the internet because he had some weirdo culture war guy on as a guest who then went on to become a mass shooter in Denver?

Has anyone made an automatic alert system yet for conservative podcasters that messages them when ever one of their past guests commits some sort of major felony?

As per the plaintive's lawyer it could go as high as 4.5 Mill. as there is apparently three actions and two defendants in the case. So with damages a total of about 9 million.

They're also looking to do something involving the bankruptcy court to get the whole thing counted, but who knows how that will go.

I doubt they even follow much of whats being said, other than the general vibe, and maybe picking up on one or two made up "facts" I would guess. I mean if you actually try and follow trump or pillow guys argument they never really make much sense outside maybe a very vague broad argument of our side good/other side bad. No need to fact check a vibe.

Cause hospitals routinely hook two people up Fury Road style to transfer blood between them. It's not like they need to run any tests or anything with complex machines that are no doubt just sitting around ERs.

If you've seen any videos on how they do it, it's pretty much done the exact same way as you siphon petrol from a car with a garden hose.

If you've ever seen medical grade garden hose being sold at medical supply store, that's why.

If you'd been more delgent in your Law & order actor research you would of found out that oval office Empire is a game designed and developed entirely by Law & order alumni.

I remember when I was in elementary school about half the student body wrote a collective letter to Bill Clinton asking him to ratify the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child shortly after Canada ratified it in 1991 and to the best of my knowledge we never received so much as an acknowledgement letter back from the Clinton White House nor Bill Clinton.



As of 2023, the United States remains the only UN member nation not to have ratified the UNCRC.

Well that will teach your old elementary school student body to write better letters. If you all didn't suck at writing letters so much The US would of ratified that Convention already. :colbert:

Nah, there's a bunch of left wing conspiracy theories as well. Sort of like anti-Covid stuff, reaching same conclusion from different details. Remember bush was in power during and after 9/11 so there was plenty of bush did 9/11 stuff so he could get a blank check to invade countries for oil stuff. Think that less mentioned now, but if you ask a lot of left wing conspiracy theorist they'll still often bring it up.

I mean yeah even though cyberpunk were basically just mostly extrapolating from contemporary fears, they did get a lot of stuff right in how the extrapolated it. Snowcrash probably most famously with the giant penis avatars, and people buying more expensive avatar and looking down on cheaper ones in online worlds.

Also some of them got pretty close in the different ways multinationals would be bastards in the future, sure multinationals being bastards is always a safe bet but some of the were definitely more right than others in the exact methods in how they'd be bastards and dehumanize their workers and customers.

Forty years on though and no giant tech pyramid though. :(
