The way I heard it, the charges against Greenberg were highly likely to result in a sentence of at least 30 years. So getting ~19 years off for cooperating was a pretty good deal.
Now we have to wait to see if DOJ will go after an actual member of Congress (no matter what crimes are alleged).
Thumb-forehead Matt’s next.
I’m totally on board with this in regards to Alex Jones. The only thing he’s uncomfortable about is getting sued again.
Kanye, on the other hand, is seriously mentally ill and it’s really disturbing to see this stuff happening.
Please show some respect and refer to Kanye by his newly announced preferred pronoun, Ye.
The revised statement respectful of this Hitler fan’s sensitivities would be, “it’s not a surprise that Ye feels that way, but Ye’s broadcasting it now.”
Also, in case anyone missed it, while Ye and a white supremacist anti-Semite were having a ketchup-infested dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, Ye announced that he was running for prez, and invited Trump to be his running mate. It’s not clear how that turned out, but the dinner conversation among these three intellectual luminaries must have been delightful.
I’m not comfortable with calling him mentally ill. It reminds me too much of similar tactics of authoritarian regimes – “If you don’t love our system you must be crazy.” I’m thinking specifically the Soviet Union and North Korea.
Just plain asshole works better for me.
I think he actually has been clinically diagnosed, and just doesn’t like taking his meds.
Eta: Clinical diagnosis of bipolar disorder after a psychiatric hospitalization in 2016.
Ah. If that’s the case never mind. I just not a big fan of remote diagnosis; it is a fearful weapon.
I’ll do that when everyone on the SDMB calls Trump by his chosen name.
In other words, disrespect intended.
I thought you couldn’t vote if you were a convicted felon? Is that not true in his case?
This isn’t a direct question to you, enipla, but since you mentioned it, I hope someone can answer that question. My Google search has been unsuccessful.
If ever there were a case for considering conservatorship, Ye is it. Britney is a bastion of sanity next to Kanye.
Point of order: Ye (pronounced “yay”) is his proper name, not a pronoun.
Pretty sure that line was a joke, everyone.
Not readers of this thread!
Being bipolar is extreme mood swings. Nothing in there about being a racist asshole.
Heheheheh:
It’s also apparently contagious… If you’re in the GOP.
I assume its short for 'Yay Newfriend"
No argument from me. My only point was, it’s OK to call him mentally ill, because he is. It’s not just a random insult.
Mental illness is not an excuse for being a racist asshole for sure.
All this time I’ve been pronouncing it “the.”
