A Perfectly Reasonable Amount of Schadenfreude about Things Happening to Trump & His Enablers (Part 1)

Proof, as if any were needed, that Trump values vengeance over party:

Not to forget—a naked Chuck Grassley strolling around at the cocaine orgy in the Capitol, arm in arm with Moscow Mitch.

Too much? :rofl:

Fucking evil ghoul starts to lose it all…

Hasn’t he already transferred most of the assets to various other “companies” and family? I could swear I’d read something about that.

How funny is it that “Free Speech Systems LLC” is filing for bankruptcy because they can’t afford defamation lawsuits? :rofl:

Pretty darned funny. But then hypocrisy always was a big part of the right-wing brand.

If Jones IS able to shield most or even much of his wealth from being distributed to his victims as the court-awarded damage, then it will be…much less funny. If he can do it, surely new legislation to stop that sort of thing will be called for by many.

I’ve never heard Jones’s show, but I’m guessing as much as he’s into conspiracies, he’s paranoid enough to bury his money in secret vaults and offshore accounts in the case of apocalypses.

I’ve no evidence about if he really believes conspiracy theories or not. I think he rants on about them because he knows he can get the people who listen to his show to buy his products if he tells them the stories they want to hear.

Didn’t Jones admit in court that he does not believe any of his tripe, but rather that he is playing a character who, he believes, has a right to say those things?

Notorious US broadcaster Alex Jones is a “performance artist” and his on air persona is an act, according to his lawyer.

Mr Wilhite said that using Mr Jones’ on-air persona to judge him as a father would be like judging Jack Nicholson in a custody dispute based on his performance as the Joker in Batman.

A human being? (The character he’s playing, that is).

Based on @Atamasama’s quotes above and what is ethical behavior I’d replace “admit” with “tried to use as an excuse, so as not to lose custody of kids / have to pay restitution to people he’s hurt”.

And playing a character like that, when you know what it does to your audience, makes you as bad, or worse, than being it for real.

Also if you are actually selling supplements and other crap, you are not playing a character when you shill for said supplements and other crap, you’re just a shill.

At the time, Jack Nicholson didn’t, as I recall, insist to everyone both on and off the screen that he really, really was the Joker.

Heath Ledger either, but then he didn’t get the chance. Maybe Jones could take the same route.

Wesley Snipes did insist on being called Blade and sending out notes under that name on the set of Blade: Trinity, so perhaps that will be his precedent. Just rename “action star” as “crisis actor.”

Sure, Schadenfraude Lite - but heck, it’s Sunday

:golf: :poop:

The article says the Saudis are bankrolling the event. But I hope Trump the master businessman made a special deal giving them a break on hosting charges in exchange for a cut of the gate.

Wesley Snipes was also a SovCit.

Snipes said the IRS’s own code meant no citizen had to pay taxes on income earned in the country, and the agency had no legal authority to collect wages anyway, because it is not a proper government entity.

Later, the actor threatened the government and individual agents in his pursuit, declaring himself a “nonresident alien” not subject to tax laws.

Og only knows what kind of goofy pushback she’d attempt, here.
How un-American to desecrate my Christian nationalism like this!!!

Even Republicans don’t expect her to know what she’s talking about, or what the words she says mean. They love her because she’s dumb as a post, and racist as shit.
