Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm struggling to understand why Kirk was targeted and not this piece of shit
I would guess there are two reasons: a) Alex Jones isn't making public appearances to my knowledge, and b) Jones has already been pretty well destroyed by the legal system.
Good points.
Although I can see there's still been precious little enforcement of the judgments against him
That shit is still ongoing.
Also he circumvented every restraint in the most transparent way possible (different website but same show, company now in wife's name etc.) which might lead to more lawsuits. OTOH in the current political climate the opposite might happen and I'm sure he's banking on that.
I recommend the KnowledgeFight podcast if you're interested in this grifter specifically.
Too much baggage. Wouldn't have made for a good enough martyr.
Meh alex is chopped liver, kirk nazi youth recruiter.
Because they needed to kill someone who will draw sympathy from the majority of their base.
Can’t you people read. He was banned so nobody could “target” him.
Okay fuckoff… back to watching #why-botherfiles.
... what?
It's not just me struggling to understand it....
It was said with the confidence of a statement having clear meaning and well articulated reason, but of course it had neither of these things
You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar… Probably. I’m neither.
I was the one that wrote it and I’m still having trouble 😳

God damn moon sapphires look just like regular ones at night. Wait, is that why they call them that?Let me get back to you tomorrow morning when I can tell the difference.
I uhh... What?
You know what… autoplay was on, I was huffing nitrous oxide. Honestly got no fuckin clue what I was watching or how that was supposed to be funny.
Don’t do drugs 🤣
