Secret Service notified as Alex Jones hosts show with 'assassinate Biden' in title
Just arrest his ass. Clearly conspiracy as he's encouraging others to attempt it.
The idiot is begging to get raided, it didn't happen when he was saying he might get locked out of his studio and that was one of his most pathetic moments And as a side note, I don't think he really appreciates what would happen if biden was a martyr.
Did he? The full title of the stream was, "Will the Deep State Assassinate Biden If He Refuses To Leave?" Seems like it was just clickbait because the article says nothing about Alex encouraging it.
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.
🎶🎶 It's time for guillotines 🎶🎶
FBI! OPEN UP!
More hack journalism, they don't even mention the actual title until the very end of the article. I'm pissed I even clicked on that garbage.
You make a good point, but I still think that this is more stochastic terrorism from the right. They’re putting the notion of assassinating the president out there into the weak minds of their listeners, who will take that information and do with it what they will. It’s so indirect that Jones and co have plausible deniability.
Note how they don’t ask if the derp state will assassinate Trump, even though he’s supposed to be its enemy.

While I don't think you're wrong, AJ has been talking about the president being assassinated for more than a decade. He was sure Trump was going to be assassinated almost constantly during his administration (poisoned cokes and hamberders were popular options).
People should stop giving that coked out drunkard any publicity, that's literally all he wants. Well, that and to sell you all kinds of InfoWars Dr Jones Naturals supplements THAT ARE IN NO WAY ASSOCIATED WITH INFOWARS, even though his dad owns it and sells all the same products and his mom is talking to him about his dad retiring.

I do understand they can do multiple things at once even if they can barely walk and chew gum, and I would like if they were wiped from the face of the earth, but I would much rather that they turn their attention towards the president, instead of putting their attention on trans people or whatever racial minority comes up week by week to rile up the base. The president has a large amount of protection on him at all times, the chances that any right wing nutjob can target him effectively strike me as shockingly low, and if they did target him, then probably you'd see something actually happen to prosecute them. Basically nobody else has that same level of protection.
Hey, this is Alex Jones, nuance and honestly aren't allowed /s
"Would no one rid me of this troublesome priest?"
Ironically, Biden assassinating him would be cool and legal according to SCOTUS.
Only if the SCOTUS decides it's official presidential business tho
That can be easily solved by first assassinating any members of SCOTUS who would rule the assassinations to not be official business
🤓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‽
The full title of the livestream was, "Will the Deep State Assassinate Biden If He Refuses To Leave?"
Fuck this badly written article for making me want to defend Alex Jones
Yeah no kidding. He's an absolute fuckstick but this is a bit ridiculous
<squidword-packing-up.jpg> yup! Funny how the story only reveals that at the very end.
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.
Secret Service notified as Raw Story publishes a headline with the same message in title
lemmy.world investigated for popular post with "assassinate Biden" in the title.
ogmios@sh.itjust.works investigated for comment containing "assassinate Biden" in the body.
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.
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?
"[...] 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."
POTUS got the thumbs-up emoji from SCOTUS
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.
"news articles" that just showcase tweets should be banned from this community
Also anything Alex Jones. This right here, is EXACTLY why he does what he does. No PR is bad PR for him. The dumbest move is trying to tell people about how dumb this guy is. It's only feeding him. This is how Trump won. Keep your name in the Zeitgeist. Keep gaslighting your victimization and the victimization of your constituency. Gish. motherfucking. Gallop.
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.
I genuinely think Jones has a yet to be defined metal disorder.
He makes his money this way. Sometimes things don't have to be complicated.
Exactly, it's akin to a dog pushing a button to get a treat, he'll push it more and more often if it works. Except in this case the button is what gets his fans engaged and the treat is money.
Making money by worsening the world around you is a mental disorder
I'm of the opinion that we defined it several thousand years ago, in some form at least.

Belangia helpfully adds: “A-gnoia means literally ‘not-knowing’; a-mathia means literally ‘not-learning.’ In addition to the type of amathia that is an inability to learn, there is another form that is an unwillingness to learn. … Robert Musii in an essay called On Stupidity, distinguished between two forms of stupidity, one he called ‘an honorable kind’ due to a lack of natural ability and another, much more sinister kind, that he called ‘intelligent stupidity.'”
Belangia also quotes Glenn Hughes, from an essay entitled “Voegelin’s Use of Musil’s Concept of Intelligent Stupidity in Hitler and the Germans,” providing a further elucidation of the concept of amathia (italics in the original):
“The higher, pretentious form of stupidity stands only too often in crass opposition to [its] honorable form. It is not so much lack of intelligence as failure of intelligence, for the reason that it presumes to accomplishments to which it has no right … The stupidity this addresses is no mental illness, yet it is most lethal; a dangerous disease of the mind that endangers life itself. … [S]ince the ‘higher stupidity’ consists not in an inability to understand but in a refusal to understand, any healing or reversal of it will not occur through rational argumentation, through a greater accumulation of data and knowledge, or through experiencing new and different feelings … We may say that the reversal of a spiritual sickness must entail a spiritual cure.”
Willful ignorance is the greatest sin. I've been saying that for a while now, not that I believe in sin.
COVID was a real eye opener for me. Seeing how far people would go to remain ignorant.
Stupid can't be helped and there is nothing wrong with it. Ignorance is different and not necessarily bad, if you see that you're ignorant about something, you can choose to educate yourself.
However, willful ignorance is a different thing. I believe that most of society's ills are rooted in willful ignorance and its exploitation by the evil.
Heavy metal disorder?
Possibly. I think he really lacks an ability to see how his attention seeking habits negatively affect others, and I don't think he's quite capable of having it explained to him.
I feel like something broke in his brain when he got fuck you money for doing good investigative journalism in the early 90s.
Like his brain went "oh okay. Just tell people how they're being manipulated and you get a free ride." and he's been stuck there ever since. And his tales of how we're being manipulated grew taller and taller.
It's like some attention seeking shit mixed with a super low IQ. Idk.
He has a "freakishly large neck" (his words) that prevents him from getting enough oxygen when he sleeps. When he was young he spent hours under a house with insecticide spray in the air. I'm sure there are other tidbits in forgetting, but suffice it to say that you're underselling him by saying he has "a" yet to be defined mental disorder.
Nah, just plain old schitzophrenia 🤖
Biden needs to…. Presidential Immunity that clown as soon as possible.
This guy really likes to dig himself into the stupid hole any chance he gets, huh?
Wasn't this fat fuck blubbering about how he had to sell his show? When is he finally going into oblivion?
Probably never, these fucking guys are cockroaches
This is just the attention that fat bastard wants
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.
You’ve just described the entire fascist right wing grift.
Nothing makes me happier than hearing these losers are so threatened and cornered.
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....
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
Awwww he wants to give Biden another ass.
How does this guy still have an audience?
I think he’s saner than Trump. Because Alex Jones doesn’t really believe the shit he says. But Trump is narcissistic to a level where he would take down the world him if he has no more options to “win”.
"Will the Deep State assassinate Biden if he refuses to leave?"
This is the full title of the podcast episode. It doesn't tell us until the very, very bottom of that article.
Also, Alex Jones can eat shit. That is all.
What a dumb ass
