    The families have $1.4 billion to play with. From my read, none of them care about the money and they don't expect to get pennies on the dollar anyway. So they can bid up to $1.4 billion plus whatever actual cash The Onion is kicking in, which has to be something so that the other creditors can get paid something.

    I don't know what specific irregularity they pointed to or what evidence they brought forward, but it was at least enough to cast some doubt on the process. I can tell you this, the bankruptcy bar - bankruptcy judges, trustees and lawyers - run a pretty tight ship. It sounds to me like there is some misunderstanding, or a pretend misunderstanding by the Alex Jones camp, about the auction rules the judge set. The trustee attempted to follow them, but may have misinterpreted those rules if the Jones people are right. It probably don't make a shit because they would just do the auction over again, unless there was some serious malfeasance by the trustee and/or the winning bidders. Short of that, the same group would win it.

    It was between her and Andrea Yates.

    And lower inflation at the same time!

    Sedition, conspiracy, RICO, just off the top of my head. They are going to charge the Democratic party as an organized crime syndicate who ordered the wrongful prosecution of the greatest president who ever lived.

    It has to be Tomi Lahren. Has to be.

    An anti-vax crackpot as head of HHS. This shit is fucking rich. Wow!

    This is so great. The Sandy Hook families bid part of their debt so that The Onion could pull this off. They got his ass in the end. I was so afraid his cronies were going to get it and it would be business as usual. Not so fast, asshole!

    I wonder what Elon and Vivek will have to say about privatizing a function we are already paying people to do.

    Government doesn't actually function without the bureaucrats. It's possible that the heads of all of these departments, who are Trump loyalists and true-believers, will try to do dumb and evil shit, but the bureaucrats who have to actually carry it out with just say, "Nah, fuck you." Or they can just stall and gum up the works while pretending to follow orders. Sure they can be fired and replaced - with a loyalist who doesn't know how to do the job. That will take time for training and if there aren't anymore people around who know how to do the jobs then nothing actually gets done. So if the head of the EPA tells someone, "Go burn down that forest!" and enough people say no and then no one knows where the matches and gasoline are, the forest doesn't get burned. This is me trying to not be fatalistic.

    This is a bit. You seriously could not TRY to make worse cabinet picks than these. Bravo. I've got my popcorn. This is going to be comedic gold.

    Woops.

    Probably a fool's errand, but I give people chances. I'm a hopeless optimist. What can I say?

    Stupid and mean is a very, very bad combination.

    This is an intellectual integrity test: 1. Do you think that prosecuting people for political reasons is acceptable? 2. Do you think political actors should be prosecuted when they have committed a crime?

    There are benevolent and liberal rich, like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates. Buffett has been saying to tax the rich more for years. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have been pumping this message forever. It's not taking for some reason. My guess is that the political right and right wing media have done a better job of inciting people with immigration, abortion and guns. And demonizing liberals in general. Someone upthread, or maybe a different thread, talked about division in country music between the hippies and the rednecks and how Willie bridged that gap. Maybe a folk hero who appeals to both the rednecks and the hippies would be able to get the message out in a way that would be heard. I vote McConaughey.

    No, I mean that it's actually being discussed.
  21. Ojo Rojo
    Yeah, this is normal. Very, very normal.

    Sorry, but this is way wrong. Most of the Republican base is not rich; they are pissed off that they are not rich, in fact. The rich, by and large, are Republicans for selfish financial reasons. Demonizing the rich is a tried and true message to get masses of working class people under your tent.

    https://www.texastribune.org/2024/10/30/texas-abortion-ban-josseli-barnica-death-miscarriage/ https://www.nbcnews.com/health/womens-health/abortion-ballot-measures-reports-miscarriage-deaths-rcna178660 Not only have at least two women died directly because of the abortion ban, but maternal mortality is way up. It's not as simple as allowing ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage abortion; there are far-reaching consequences. *Edit - And oh by the way, if you go looking for truth in Congressional hearings....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. There is no greater bullshit dog and pony show on planet earth. Democrat or Republican driven.

    This is pretty disingenuous. NBC, WaPo and CNN paid a settlement, the terms of which were confidential. Could have been millions; could have been nuisance value. The remaining 5 cases were later dismissed, which was upheld on appeal and then not taken up by SCOTUS. To compare this little shit to the Fox settlement is absurd.

    Fuck yes. You can have integrity and tell the truth or you can win elections. In American politics, you can't do both. At least underlying our lies would be a genuine desire to work for the greater good, the downtrodden and the future of the country.
