Just arrest his ass. Clearly conspiracy as he's encouraging others to attempt it.

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 25 points 9 months ago

The idiot is begging to get raided, it didn't happen when he was saying he might get locked out of his studio and that was one of his most pathetic moments And as a side note, I don't think he really appreciates what would happen if biden was a martyr.

It’s Illegal to say something like, “I want to kill the president.” Like crazy illegal. It’s ok that I just said it because I was just telling you it’s illegal.

Shame everyone got on a hardcore vindictive streak against every perceived 'microagression' a decade or so ago.

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 33 points 9 months ago (13 children)

There's thousands upon thousands of famous people. Why waste your time following or supporting someone that you feel is not a good person? Turns out a lot of people feel that same way, hence someone being "cancelled". No one went on a "hardcore vindictive streak" to get these people cancelled.

I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I think what happened was that mean dickheads with money started running everything.

I think John Oliver is still having fun. Maybe some sports panel shows, too. Offhand I can’t think of anyone else, although I don’t watch much TV.

Ironically, Biden assassinating him would be cool and legal according to SCOTUS.

[–] luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 41 points 9 months ago (6 children)

Only if the SCOTUS decides it's official presidential business tho

[–] grue@lemmy.world 32 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, and the current traitor majority would make up whatever bullshit to not do that, regardless of how tight a corner they've tried to paint themselves into with the decision.

But Biden could just assassinate them, too. And then there'd be nobody left to object.

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not really, controlling the military is very explicitly an "official act" as stated in the verdict. Biden could literally seal team 6 him with no legal consequences

[–] grue@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

The other recent catastrophic decision, the one overturning Chevron deference, flushed stare decisis right down the shitter.

When I say they "make up whatever bullshit," I mean they really make up whatever bullshit!

That can be easily solved by first assassinating any members of SCOTUS who would rule the assassinations to not be official business

🤓umm, excuse me, the SCOTUS rule doesn't make things legal; they stay illegal, but the POTUS will not be held accountable for them.

isn't that SO MUCH better‽

[–] player2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 92 points 9 months ago (3 children)

The full title of the livestream was, "Will the Deep State Assassinate Biden If He Refuses To Leave?"

Fuck this badly written article for making me want to defend Alex Jones

I guess Biden should just have him assassinated since he is clearly a threat to his ability to perform his presidential duties. Surely this is what the SCOTUS was referring to when they made that ruling.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

We joke about this stuff. But when you stack up how Palestinian protesters on college campuses or BLM organizers in Ferguson and Baltimore or Quakers protesting the Iraq War were treated relative to a real live active guy with deep ties to domestic terrorist groups, its mind-boggling how little actually happens to the shock jock crowd.

Its not like Presidents are shy about straight up assassinating political dissidents, whether they are American Islamists and their families living abroad or Civil Rights leaders in Chicago and Philly. So how do these far-right types get to run nationally syndicated Radio Rwanda uninterrupted for decades across multiple administrations with no more than a polite knock at the door?

Not only is that illegal, the dumbfuck doesn't even realize that there couldn't possibly be a better way for Democrats to sweep the election than on a wave of sympathy if Biden were assassinated.

I genuinely think Jones has a yet to be defined metal disorder.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemm.ee 19 points 9 months ago (3 children)

He makes his money this way. Sometimes things don't have to be complicated.

[–] Nobody@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Exactly. It doesn't make sense because it's a grift. These "pundits" are getting rich by scaring ignorant people.

A Biden donor event, where Biden and Alex Jones fight to the death. All on a livestream and tv. It being offical presidental business it would be legal according to SCOTUS for Biden to kill Jones. Whatever the outcome the Democrats presidential candiate will be seen as fit as well. If Biden looses, Jones is being thrown into prison.

And people say Trump is a showman....

Ya know he may be working angle here. His whole life is over and he knows it. I'll bet he figures if he goes crazy all in on Trump that maybe he could land some political support in getting his conviction overturned if Trump wins the election. Considering his current situation its probably the only chance he has.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

You’ve just described the entire fascist right wing grift.
