Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@Dustcan
IIRC, the texts were requested during discovery, and Jones said they didn’t exist.

So, whoopsie.

Lot of places have been dropping gas prices significantly. Oklahoma City having a 7/11 finally below $3

@Kiryu-Chan
Gas prices here in Indiana is at $4.05

Around here $3.60 here in Milwaukee county

I have to wonder how all this will effect Jones’s perception on his buddy’s show, probably nothing. I assume Rogan will still say Alex was right about a lot of stuff, ignoring this one huge thing he was very very wrong about.

Either way Joe needs to come get his boy.

Imma love it when those “I did That” stickers are pointing at sub 4 dollar gas prices.

Dems are starting to runaway with the senate polls. The Deluxe model on 538 has them at 59%, with Classic and Lite at 71% and 77% respectively.

They’re also favored to flip two governor mansions, Maryland and Arizona, which would give them a trifecta in MD and break the reps trifecta in AZ. And polling indicates that theyll keep Witmer in over in Minasota. Dems were looking likely to lose Kansas governor, but the recent abortion ruling and the weakness of the GOPs chosen candidate may give dems the chance to hold the seat.

The house is still the reps to lose, but the dems have managed to close to a statical tie on the generic. It remains to be seen if that translates to down ballot success.

Griner sentenced to 9 years in prison
Now in addition to the arms dealer, Russia wants a convicted murderer released as an exchange for her and Whelan.
If they do that, every person in jail or prison for cannabis charges inn this country needs to be released also. And then other countries who don’t like us are going to pull the same stunt if one of our citizens gets arrested in their countries.

@Ciaran
And the plaintiffs’ lawyer emailed Jones’ lawyer on the day the texts were sent, warning him that they “seem to contain a lot of confidential information”. Instead of asserting privilege right then and there, Jones’ lawyer simply said, “Please disregard the link and I will work on resending”. Of course, he never actually re-sent anything, because that’s the kind of professional we’re dealing with here.

After ten days went by, any privilege he could have claimed was waived under Texas law. So now, even the stuff that really shouldn’t have been sent is fair game.

Biden has signed an executive order allowing various protections in allowing women to cross state lines to get an abortion. This was done in response to red states attempt to make it illegal.

@NitroFury
$3.79 around my area.

@Dustcan
Biden seems to be remembering his power recently.

@Meanlucario
“Politicians actually DOING SOMETHING to help citizens? What is this, the 20th century?!”

Someone really needs to set his alarm clock more often.

@Dustcan
Or maybe they changed his alzheimer’s medication and gave him something that actually works.

Alex Jones has been ordered to pay $4.1 million to the first family from the trial.

Cue him screaming on his little show that he’s not gonna pay.

Mr. Jones, how do you manage to take such an L?

I may lean to the left a fair bit, but can I just say that I hate tankies with a burning passion?

@neutralgrey
I’m a conservative who hates republicans, so I don’t see why not.

@Dustcan
That’s just the compensatory damages. Tomorrow they start on the punitive damages.

Unfortunately, Texas has strict caps on punitive damages. Twice the economic damages, plus non-economic damages up to $750K. Depending on how the jury broke it down, that could be anywhere from $750,000 to $8.97 million.

@neutralgrey
As I see it, tankies are leftists in name only. If you defend arbitrary oppression in the name of ideology, no matter which one, you’re not someone I want anything to do with.

TL;DR: WNBA Star Brittney Griner has been sentence to 9 years at a Russian Jail and fined ₽1 Million (almost $17,000 USD) for cannabis oil smuggling, however this sentence has raised concerns as Griner will be used as a political pawn in Putin’s War ongoing war in Ukraine.

@Meanlucario
I’m to the right of a lot of people on the left, but even then I may as well be a far left communist compared to the far right.

@Ereiam
THIS

Seriously, how the hell can they call themselves socialists when they play defense for China or Russia? Two openly fascist countries?

@NitroFury
At this point Biden should just put a travel ban on Russia and urge any American there to leave as soon as possible
