lemmy.world investigated for popular post with “assassinate Biden” in the title.

Stovetop ,

[email protected] investigated for comment containing “assassinate Biden” in the body.

Viking_Hippie ,

@Stovetop investigated for having a killer body. Also: the moves like Jagger.

Bigoldmustard ,

I investigated your mom. She seems like a person who had a life and then had you and loved you and then had a life with you and I hope you call her soon.

half_built_pyramids ,

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.

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.

Alteon ,

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.

ogmios ,
@ogmios@sh.itjust.works avatar

Oh please. People were swinging that stick around blindly. Sure there were some legitimately bad actors hurt, but the damage it did to society as a whole has been incalculable, as every random idiot with a grudge felt empowered to wield it as a weapon against everyone around them.

Hello, cancel culture? Yeah, this guy right here

corsicanguppy , (edited )

This guy is a bad example. Can we have this debate when it’s someone worth the effort? This guy is a huge asshole and I’m willing to ‘no contest’ his cancelling.

Fight the next one. I beg you.

ogmios ,
@ogmios@sh.itjust.works avatar

I’m responding to the person saying they miss when people had fun on TV. That doesn’t happen anymore because too many vindictive assholes feel empowered to ruin people’s lives without a second thought in our current culture.

You literally made me laugh out loud. Well done.

No. No. It did not. The problem you are describing isn’t totally imaginary, but for the most part, it’s a good thing that you can’t be an avowed racist or misogynist or general all-around ass and everyone will still love you as long as you are good at your job.

Nobody is going to go on Twitter and said they were triggered because WKUK did this skit, and then George Soros would get the show cancelled. In fact, the lions’s share of the time, the people cancelling shows or freaking out and boycotting products, because someone said the wrong thing, are on your side of the ideological divide.

Ok, that’s hilarious 😂. A few edgy comedians had a rough patch and now Rome is burning!

I think society will survive any misapplications of cancelling. There is no need to worry.

Jiggle_Physics ,

It is just public shaming in an age where it is almost impossible to control information getting, and/or being spread, around at a scale that wasn’t thought possible until my lifetime.

Yes. Turning regular people against each other for such tiny perceived sleights has done incredible damage to the cohesion of our society.

Yeah no kidding. He’s an absolute fuckstick but this is a bit ridiculous

GasMeterCrasher ,

This will feed into his narrative that people take his words out of context. It’s playing his game. He constantly claims to be attacked and plays up the victim/martyr card to gain sympathy just so he can sell more supplements.

Donjuanme ,

This is just the attention that fat bastard wants

MiDaBa ,

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 ,

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

SkabySkalywag ,

Wasn’t this fat fuck blubbering about how he had to sell his show? When is he finally going into oblivion?

grue ,

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

luciferofastora ,

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

grue ,

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 ,

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 ,

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!

samus12345 , (edited )
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

At this point they might as well just say, “Any Republican president who toes the party line is immune from prosecution because we say so. Yeah, we’re blatantly partisan, what are you gonna do about it? We’re appointed for life, and you’ll never have enough Democrats in Congress to impeach us. LOL!”

I’d still hate them, but I’d also appreciate the honesty.

lanolinoil ,
@lanolinoil@lemmy.world avatar

No, it just has to be within the duties of the president – official business – How could POTUS doing a military order not be official business ? Whose business would that be other than the leader of the military?

luciferofastora ,

Yeah, but if he does it and gets charged for this abuse of power, it will probably be tried before the Supreme Court, meaning they’ll get to ratify whether it actually was official business.

Revan343 ,

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

pyre ,

🤓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‽

This guy really likes to dig himself into the stupid hole any chance he gets, huh?

JimSamtanko ,

Biden needs to…. Presidential Immunity that clown as soon as possible.

MrMakabar ,

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…

Fedizen ,

Jones has been saying for 30 years the government wants to stop him for speaking the truth. While I think the dupes that believe him will see him as a martyr, making an example of a couple media dorks like jones who are engaging in rhetorical escalation for clicks would be an improvement, probably

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

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.

UltraGiGaGigantic ,

That and most likely running a candidate that isn’t geriatric.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Biden could be literally so ridden with dementia that he couldn’t recognize his own name and a wave of sympathy would still create a huge blue wave if he were assassinated.

Alright, you’ve sold me. Let’s do it.

bloodfart ,

That’s what the show posits. The title is something like “they’re gonna assassinate Biden”

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t even want to know who Alex Jones thinks “they” are this time.

bloodfart ,

Could be the donors, could be the party, could be a true believer.

I don’t listen to his show so idk the reasoning but this is probably one of those stopped clock situations.

They lose with Biden, if it goes instead to a brokered convention they lose. If Biden dies then there’s a good chance they win.

Your question of who is the sticking point though. The party doesn’t care about winning, the donors are all giving to both sides anyway, only a true believer would do such a thing.

There’s not a lot of precedent for that though. There was the congressional baseball watcher, but even then it was an ill conceived haphazard attack with little preparation.

Pardon the pun, but democrats just don’t got any shooters.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I completely disagree. You have Trump and his people calling Biden the most evil president in history. That could absolutely turn into an assassination from a Trump devotee.

bloodfart ,

nah, the american conservative movement is just trying to stay in their lane and let the democrats fuck this one up themselves. there’s no benefit for their party, donors or true believers to a biden death.

that’s not to say they can’t screw it up, just that they won’t allow or condone something as damaging to their chances as bidens death.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Since when have lone nuts stayed in their lane?

bloodfart ,

That depends on if you’re including people “known to law enforcement” as lone nuts.

If so then yeah, if not then no.

Your typical real deal lone nut doesn’t target political figures, instead opting for the uhh propaganda of the deed.

The ruby style lone nut isn’t really acting by themselves, and always seems to have a bunch of people around them influencing their decisions.

razorwiregoatlick ,
@razorwiregoatlick@lemmy.world avatar

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.

HoustonHenry ,

POTUS got the thumbs-up emoji from SCOTUS

Schadrach ,

Still amazed that SCOTUS gave an opinion that literally permits POTUS to have them executed.

They only have the gall to do that because they believe Biden won’t abuse it and Trump will win.

UnderpantsWeevil ,
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

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?

irreticent ,
@irreticent@lemmy.world avatar

“[…] or Civil Rights leaders in Chicago and Philly.”

Just a reminder that the Philadelphia police bombed a home and killed 11 American citizens. The resulting fire burnt most of the houses on that block.

“Philadelphia police dropped two explosive devices from a helicopter onto the roof of a house occupied by MOVE. The Philadelphia Police Department allowed the resulting fire to burn out of control, destroying 61 previously evacuated neighboring homes over two city blocks and leaving 250 people homeless. Six adults and five children were killed in the attack, with one adult and one child surviving.”
