So the AR 15 that was used to kill 5 people in Louisville shooting a few days ago will be auctioned off. Talk about fucked up. The gun was legally purchased.

eanwhile, the legally purchased AR-15-style rifle used by the killer will probably be auctioned to the public, officials say.

Under current state law, guns confiscated by local police - including those used in homicides - are returned to state police and then made available for purchase at auction.

In February, the Louisville mayor ordered local police to temporarily disable seized weapons before handing them over to state police for resale.

Mayor Craig Greenberg told a news conference on Tuesday: "Under current Kentucky law, the assault rifle that was used to murder five of our neighbours and shoot at rescuing police officers will one day be auctioned off.

"Think about that. That murder weapon will be back on the streets."

A bit old, but another instance of MTG being a dumb cunt:

tl;dw - They are seizing more drugs at the border under Biden, then they are under Trump! This is a failure of the Biden administration!

Then looking at the YT comments, the idiots are cooing "yes, MTG is not afraid to speak the truth!!!". FFS.

Right wing social Media platform parler has been acquired and shut down

https://parler.com/

westopher 04-14-2023 06:57 AM

What was the angle they are taking there? Are they some super right wing media conglomerate who gets to use the database to target news now? Or the opposite? Are they just doing it because they hate parler and it's hilarious.

sonick 04-14-2023 07:00 AM

Unfortunately sounds like the former as I read more into it

westopher 04-14-2023 07:38 AM

That was kind of what I got from it but it wasn't super clear because they almost mocked the idea of parler in the letter.

GLOW 04-14-2023 08:54 AM

good news for twitter, or would they not give a shit b/c they were not big enough competition?

Fox News pays more than three-quarters of a billion dollars to settle the lawsuit from Dominion for their lies about Dominion's voting machines.

GLOW 04-18-2023 02:54 PM

will there be any political fallout?
will tucker spin the story on fox and get away with it?

can't see this being accepted or convince maga supporters that there wasn't voter fraud but at least it's vindication for dominion

mikemhg 04-18-2023 05:31 PM

Damn I knew they'd settle, but was hoping they wouldn't. The stuff that would've came out in trial about Fox News would've been heavenly to see :lol

Dominion just scored about 56 years worth of their BEST year of earnings revenue in one swoop. Talk about a windfall for a company of less than 100 employees.

68style 04-18-2023 10:45 PM

That lawyers cut tho... wowwwwwww

westopher 04-19-2023 08:44 AM

Serious question, even with that money spent, was it a worthwhile investment for fox to cater to their dipshit demographic?

Manic! 04-19-2023 01:34 PM

Fox still faces a 2.7 billion dollar lawsuit from smartmatic another voting machine company.

They have ~$4.1B of cash on hand, readily available to be withdrawn at any time essentially

OAN and Newsmax have simular lawsuits against them. They are going to get wrecked.

lindell and guilliani should be shitting bricks now no?

does this mean the fox hosts that did everything get to pass unscathed?

LOL!!!!

My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell ordered to follow through with $5 million payment to expert who debunked his false election data

https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/20/polit...ion/index.html

The expert voted for trump twice.

Wow, Tucker Carlson leaving Fox News!

68style 04-24-2023 08:25 AM

I doubt he will be off the air for long, probably going somewhere else where he can't be controlled as much

Which is kind of scary, because he was barely controlled at all

Lemme get this straight -- Tucker Carlson got fired by Fox because he was privately doubting Dominion committed fraud?

What a world to be in LOL~

I don't doubt that, unfortunately. There is no spite or schadenfreud to seeing Tucker being let go, I know he'll be fine.

I am mostly surprised that Fox would let go somebody who gets them so many viewers. I believe Tucker was the highest rated Fox News host?

westopher 04-24-2023 09:31 AM

He's gonna end up having his own news channel online and be so full retard. Like Alex Jones level of stupid and his moron followers are going to eat it up.

In other news, the Lemon, Don Lemon, is leaving CNN. CNN fired Lemon.

If that fat ass Cheeto could do cartwheels, he might be doing cartwheels after hearing that Mr. Lemon is no longer working for CNN. LUL

I heard that Don Jr. is not a fan of Mr. Lemon either.
Example: https://people.com/politics/don-lemo...-trump-voters/

https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/24/media...cnn/index.html

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canad...3a99d3073&ei=7

CNN fired anchor Don Lemon on Monday after 17 years at the network, in the wake of sexist comments and reports that he mistreated women he worked with during his tenure there.

iirc he's the highest rated news host in the USA across all networks

He's probably going to start a podcast or YouTube show instead
