Just arrest his ass. Clearly conspiracy as he's encouraging others to attempt it.

[-] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 25 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] player2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Yeah. It doesn't really get any less ambiguous without adding "I really mean it in a legally actionable way!" or some such nonsense.

[-] player2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I hate Alex Jones but I don't follow your logic. Can you be less ambiguous to help me out? What did Alex say? I can't find a single article supporting what these commenters claim, not even this post's article. It seems like everyone is making stuff up after reading the headline and not even clicking the link to read 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.

Look, fuck Alex Jones, but the title of the Twitter Space was "Will the Deep State Assassinate Biden If He Refuses To Leave?"

Which is some crazy conspiratorial nonsense, but it is pretty far from a call to assassinate Biden. It does technically have the words "assassinate Biden" in it, so the headline is correct on a literal level, but this is some serious click bait...

You could just as easily say "Rawstory posts article with 'Assassinate Biden' in the title", and be just as correct.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 36 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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.

[-] aseriesoftubes@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

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.

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

[-] luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 41 points 4 months ago

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

[-] grue@lemmy.world 32 points 4 months ago

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@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago

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@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 months ago

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

[-] lanolinoil@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

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?

🤓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‽

[-] player2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 90 points 4 months ago

The full title of the livestream was, "Will the Deep State Assassinate Biden If He Refuses To Leave?"

[-] errer@lemmy.world 57 points 4 months ago

Fuck this badly written article for making me want to defend Alex Jones

[-] dactylotheca@suppo.fi 6 points 4 months ago

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

[-] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 30 points 4 months ago

<squidword-packing-up.jpg> yup! Funny how the story only reveals that at the very end.

[-] GasMeterCrasher@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 53 points 4 months ago

Secret Service notified as Raw Story publishes a headline with the same message in title

[-] razorwiregoatlick@lemmy.world 51 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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?

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@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

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

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

Alright, you've sold me. Let's do it.

[-] bloodfart@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago

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

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

[-] undefined@links.hackliberty.org 10 points 4 months ago

Probably never, these fucking guys are cockroaches

[-] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

This is just the attention that fat bastard wants

[-] MrMakabar@slrpnk.net 10 points 4 months ago

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@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

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

[-] MiDaBa@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 months ago

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@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

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

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

"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.
