Funny events in anti-woke world

I disagree, no one is targeting Russians right now. And the attacks are mostly sporadic, and often done by people with significant mental health problems who already hate Asians and whites due to social, and economic factors.

The US government will likely sanction Chinese government assets, and their allies' assets, and that's fine by me. Also, how can you tell an Asian from a Chinese person, you mostly can't just like you mostly cannot tell a Russian person from someone who is Eastern European or even white.

Andrew Yang likes to engage in hyperbole to put me in the same boat as his rich Asian friends who are afraid of their assets being seized.

Uhrm, China is in Asia. Chinese people are Asian.

Yeah, don't blame that on the mentally ill. Being evil doesn't equate to being mentally ill.

Also, how can you tell an Asian from a Chinese person, you mostly can't just like you mostly cannot tell a Russian person from someone who is Eastern European or even white.

You don't need to tell ethnic Chinese from other Asian ethnicities if you are just looking to commit hate crimes, facts don't matter. You can't easily tell Russians from other white people (beyond names), but then the people committing hate crimes tend to be white and so won't be as keen on targeting based on skin colour.

I guess what I am saying is that Andrew Yang is engaging in hyperboles. He use over the top rhetorical tactics to convince people like me and many others to vote for him, and I saw the same thing happen in a foreign policy debate. Hey Chinese people your going into campsI don’t think the US uses past tactics/racism here. I think they overstate it to get me to support them like politicos and business types do.

I doubt even Trump would sent me to a camp even if he would make Chinese people’s life’s harder in other ways but not camps. I think if you don’t have Chinese citizenship, strong ties with the CCP, and it have influencer misinformation media channels your fine.

Alex Jones’s lawyers told a judge on Tuesday that the Infowars founder was too sick to answer questions under oath at his court-ordered deposition the next day.

Their arguments were similar to those they had made the day before in a written motion requesting a postponement in the court case in which relatives of those killed in the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School sued him for calling the massacre a “giant hoax.” A delay was necessary, they said, because a doctor “remains firm in his initial recommendation that Mr. Jones neither attend a deposition nor return to work” since he “stands at serious risk of harm.”

But Jones was at work right around the time they were making those very arguments to the judge, they later conceded. Specifically, he was at his recording studio in Austin in the middle of broadcasting four hours of “The Alex Jones Show.” Just as his lawyers were about to argue he was too sick to testify, Jones warned listeners that a cabal of global elites plan to start a nuclear war or otherwise trigger a global crisis in the coming months to cover up massive financial crimes they’ve committed over the decades.

Connecticut state Judge Barbara Bellis denied the motion for a postponement. But Jones didn’t show for the deposition scheduled Wednesday. Bellis has now ordered Jones to appear Thursday to give sworn testimony. Opposing lawyers requested the judge issue a warrant for Jones’s arrest if he fails to show again.

Jones’s lawyers and Infowars did not respond Wednesday night to a request for comment from The Washington Post.

Jones is being sued by multiple families whose relatives died in the mass shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. For years, Sandy Hook families have said Jones was grifting off claims that the shooting — in which 20 children and six school staffers were killed — was a “false flag” operation staged by “crisis actors.” During a 2019 deposition, he renounced those statements and admitted the shooting had happened, blaming his previous false claims on “a form of psychosis.”

“I talk four hours a day, and I can’t remember what I talked about sometimes a week ago,” Jones said during that deposition.

In 2018, several of them sued Jones for defamation in Texas and Connecticut. In November, after years of litigation, Judge Bellis ruled that Jones was liable by default in the Connecticut case after he and his companies refused to obey court orders to provide financial records and other documents, The Post reported.

Bellis said Jones and his companies engaged in “a pattern of obstructive conduct” that thwarted the normal court process and prevented the Sandy Hook families from pursing their case.

After the judge ruled against Jones, the case moved to a phase in which a jury will eventually decide how much Jones will have to pay in damages, which is why the deposition is still necessary.

Attorneys representing several Sandy Hook families said in filings that Jones was supposed to be deposed late last year, but the proceeding had been delayed several times. During a deposition, lawyers for the families would have the opportunity to ask Jones questions on the record under oath. His answers might later be used in a trial if the case doesn’t come to a settlement.

In requesting another postponement, one of Jones’s lawyers, Norman Pattis, said in a court filing Monday that he had received a phone call earlier that day about his client’s health. The caller, whom Pattis didn’t identify in his motion, told him that Jones was being cared for by a doctor for “medical conditions that require immediate, and possibly, emergency testing.” Pattis told the court he then spoke with someone claiming to be that doctor, who recommended Jones not go through with the deposition.

Jones asked his lawyer not to disclose his medical conditions or the identity of the doctor caring for him in the court record, Pattis said. His attorneys submitted earlier this week to the judge a letter that was supposedly from the doctor.

It didn’t sway her. In denying his motion, Bellis acknowledged that the health problems the doctor outlined were “potentially serious." But, the judge continued, they weren’t serious enough for Jones to obey the doctor’s orders to stay home and rest, opting instead to keep broadcasting from his studio.

“Mr. Jones cannot unilaterally decide to continue to engage in his broadcasts, but refuse to participate in a deposition,” she wrote in her order denying his motion.

An attorney representing the Sandy Hook families suing Jones called the doctor’s note and the sickness claim “completely bogus.”

The “obvious gambit,” lawyer Christopher Mattei wrote in court documents, “represents yet another threadbare attempt to delay these proceedings and to shield Mr. Jones from an experience that puts him in peril — not because he is ill but because he will be under oath and bound to tell the truth.”

Mattei later denounced Jones’s bid for a delay as “a cowardly display intended to cheat the plaintiffs of their right to put him under oath and ask him questions,” Connecticut Public Radio reported.

Duck Jones and duck his lawyers. Claiming he's too sick to be deposed as he broadcasts his show is either lying to the court or the lawyers failing to do their own due diligence on their client. (Not a lawyer, so grain of salt and all that)

Edit: autocorrect... I'm leaving it.

That's just like a lot of my students when they think they're not going to like how something is going to turn out.

So the convoy is still going around (but not really in) DC. While we can laugh at them LARPing as Amazon drivers, they're also making moves to start "arresting" drivers they don't like.

They're going to pull this on someone with a firearm in their car, and someone is going to die.

I'm pretty sure this is what they are hoping for. Either they will get a 'criminal' and call themselves saviors of society. Or become a martyr and call themselves the saviors of society

As a rare person here who doesn't actually mind Ted Cruz, I still make of this that schools are bunch of idiots, full of sound and fury signifying nothing.
