In case you were wondering how an obviously insane person comes to be that rich, it's from stealing your data.

Apparently he was the founder and chief data scientist at SMA Communications. From their website:

SMA Communications owns data on over 247 million consumers and over 49 million business contacts. We also have over 179 million registered Voters, 165 million automobile owners, Social media connections and more.

I never wonder why morally corrupt people are rich.

It is the about the only way you can become wealthy.

I love that the picture they chose was of him standing between DeSantis and the very stupidest Trump offspring (which is a hell of an achievement!) just to rub it in how the GOP has absolutely no standards beyond dollar amounts!

In a freaking obnoxious USA blazer to boot

Absolutely! I also love that, as of the day after the article went live, the dumbass son is identified as the OTHER dumbass son 😂

Man, if you pitched these news stories to a studio as ideas a decade ago, they’d call you absurd and outlandish as they laughed you out of the room

[-] misterundercoat@lemmy.world 73 points 11 months ago

Oddly enough, I did have that on my Republican Bingo card.

Many GOP heavyweights took to social media to give tributes, including Trump and DeSantis.

So DeSantis donated the guy's campaign contributions after he kept using the N word but he still decided to give tribute after the guy attempted murder?

Imagine taking the family out for a burger, and this cunt-sack ruins it by eating a bullet in front of you and your family.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 21 points 11 months ago

Wait, he did this in public?

What a POS.

If I found out who it was, Id loudly proclaim that he was a scumbag and that I'm buying a round of shots for us to party right through it.

First, a moment to acknowledge that his wife, who evidently didn't do anything wrong, got shot behind this.

Now, we dance!

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 13 points 11 months ago

She was a psychologist and didn't notice this dude was fucking crazy? I don't want to blame her for being shot, but for her to be willing to put up with him she couldn't have been innocent of the other stuff he's done.

Now that's a headline

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

Wow that's too bad. Anyway now his rich widow can recover and go waste her Inheritance on whatever trivial bullshit she likes. It won't help the world, but it's better than actively undermining it.

"alright time for my murder suicide. what was I supposed to do first? uhhh probably suicide then murder? we'll see how that goes"

[-] Grant_M@lemmy.ca 16 points 11 months ago

As the trump-cultists come to the realization their god-emperor is a fraud, many will take this turn.

[-] saigot@lemmy.ca 14 points 11 months ago

Wow He defended his use of the nword by using slurs I don't even recognize

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 15 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Kike - Jew

Goyim - non-Jew notable usage is the Goyim Defense League; a U.S. based Nazi group

Spic - Spanish speakers

I think your experience with the terms will be geographical rather than age

Each word in the headline brought in a new twist.

[-] BongsForJesus@lemmy.wtf 12 points 11 months ago
[-] Evilcoleslaw@lemmy.world 29 points 11 months ago

I think it's goyim. It fits given the context of referring to his own ethnic group as the k slur. Guy sounds like a giant asshole.

[-] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 20 points 11 months ago

And what’s the k slur? As a foreigner can you please use the fucking expletives so people even understand what you are trying not to say

[-] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 11 months ago

I will never understand why people dont just say the word when talking about language or the actual words. You don't use it to describe someone or attack someone, you are discussing the meaning of the actual word so just say it.

[-] Touching_Grass@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

I don't because I don't want to make it normal to do because it creates a loop hole I've seen exploited by racists. If you have a context where it's acceptable to use racist words they will use it thinking they're clever.

They'll pretend to be having a discussion about these words and slide them in as often as possible.

So avoiding it is not normalizing it so its harder to hard

So, goyim is yiddish for "not jewish"[1]. The k slur is almost certainly "kike"[2] which means "totally jewish" but in the worst way.

Yes. Jew here- antisemites will refer to themselves as goyim sarcastically when speaking in the context of Jews. Which is weird, because I have almost never actually heard a Jew use the word. And the few times I have, it's come from some elderly person who's probably bigoted in other ways too.
