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.
Protect. Your. Fucking. Data!
Scumbags like this make fortunes off your digital behavior. Protect it like you protect your wallet.
Good luck. If you want to interact with the modern world- have a smartphone, use social media, streaming services, etc., you're going to have your data sold. And if you don't do it, the corporation you work for is probably doing it. The horses are already out of the barn. Our data is not ours anymore.
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 😂 
Something something wrapped in a flag and holding a cross…
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
And nothing of value was lost.
Hey now! Bullets ain't free.
But they are back to being relatively affordable. I'd say this was a good way to spend one.
Oddly enough, I did have that on my Republican Bingo card.
It was the free space on mine.
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?
Glad he is gone now.
Nice when the trash takes itself out.
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.
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.
Damn, that headline just keeps goin', don't it?
Now that's a headline
fuck that dude
"alright time for my murder suicide. what was I supposed to do first? uhhh probably suicide then murder? we'll see how that goes"
Each word in the headline brought in a new twist.
First, a moment to acknowledge that his wife, who evidently didn't do anything wrong, got shot behind this.
Now, we dance!
What's the "g**im" slur?
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.
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
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.
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
I don't know if this is the case for other people, but I have to be careful about using slurs in any context because the more I see or use a word the more likely it is to slip out in other situations. I'd never purposefully use a slur on somebody, but my word-choices are largely running on automatic when I'm angry. I just push intent at my mouth and then my subconscious picks out words matching that intent and feeds them into my tongue. If I push the intent "strong targeted insult" into that system, a slur could match those parameters and make it out my mouth before my conscious mind can catch and filter it. Entirely avoiding using slurs, and ideally avoiding even thinking slurs helps to avoid this happening (both by avoiding them entering my vocabulary-supply in the first place, and by building the mental reflex to immediately drop them like they're hot if they do pop into my brain).
A more society-level reason to discourage people from publicly using slurs even in discussions about them is to make it harder for bigots to stage "discussions" as excuses to loudly use slurs while in earshot of the people they'd like to use those slurs at.
People also get paranoid about automated (or braindead) moderation, or trolls who shame people based purely on the fact that a quick and context-free search of their post history turns up N uses of a slur. It's often easier to just dodge these kinds of problems than to fight them.
Some people are just uncomfortable using the word.
Also there are people/tools who will scan your comment history and autoban you from communities for having used a word. If you care about those groups, you don't want a dumb bot scan to mess it up.
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.
[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goy
[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kike
" kike" pretty antiquated antisemitic slur but still finds its use amongst the acient and the young neo nazi crowd.
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.
Oy. Jewish slang for non Jewish I think. (Not spelling the whole thing as I don't want to risk mod ire)
Wow He defended his use of the nword by using slurs I don't even recognize
Well, good, I guess.
And here I thought nothing was gonna go right this year at all.
Sucks to suck
