Before catching up on FO, I only knew the clips of his deposition from Youtube compilations that didn't include any of Klayman's voice clips. hosed up to hear the full context, but they're both certainly perfect for one another.

Listening to the depositions, I ended up loving Bill and Mark for one of the tricks they would both sue where they would have ask these packets of rapid-fire questions that they must have assumed the KF defendants would easily be able to answer with simple "yes" and "no" responses. I could be wrong, but I assume they added those questions in so that they could draw a comparison with every other answer that amounted to hamfisted attempts at pedantry and skirting around the issue. The Connecticut attorney starting his Alex depo with the "Do you have a photographic memory?" line of question was a funny way of framing what would inevitably be several hours of Alex claiming not to remember anything about Sandy Hook.

I highly doubt he thinks they're the worst people to spend time with; he probably does think they're assholes or idiots a lot of the time, but a lot of people think that about friends and family at least some of the time, and still enjoy spending time with them regardless. Plus, he's spent years outside the limelight doing his own thing much of the time.

Sandy Hook families offer Alex Jones deal to pay 6 percent of $1.5B he owes to get out of bankruptcy

quote:

“Jones may elect to receive a complete discharge for himself and (his parent company also in bankruptcy) if he agrees to pay, from any source, at least $8.5 million per year, plus 50 percent of any income over $9 million per year, for 10 years,” reads a settlement offer by the families’ attorneys, filed two days before Thanksgiving in Texas bankruptcy court. “The time has come for Jones to choose whether he is willing to pay his creditors a reasonable portion of what they are owed or would prefer to remain embroiled in costly and time-consuming litigation for years to come.”

The writer of that article sounds like an enormous dork who sucks, found another article he wrote on the jones trial recently

he is framing these situations like norm pattis is just an innocent attorney

quote:

Jones’ attorney Norm Pattis in a 14-page argument to the Connecticut Appellate Court this week calls the October 2022 jury trial in Waterbury that stunned observers with the size of the award a “horrible case” of “litigation lotto” that “called into question the integrity of the Connecticut judicial system.”

“Mr. Jones was an unwilling and often defiant participant in the litigation initiated by the (families)… And yes, he testified in the jury’s presence that he had contempt for the trial court judge,” Pattis wrote. “Given the manner in which the case was handled, his response was understandable.”

Pattis argues that the appeals court should “reverse” the verdict and send the case back to a different trial judge because the Sandy Hook families and their attorneys held all the cards.

“They found a judge willing to play along and were permitted to present half-truths to the jury as truths fully 'established,'” Pattis argues. “The result is the very thing (families) complained about — a verdict that looks more like the work of a conspiracy theorist than the considered judgment of a fact-finder.”

Uncritically parrotting bullshit while not giving proper context looks a whole lot like sympathizing with jones and his shitlord crew to me

I would feel bad for someone that somehow went from normal to instantly in his situation. Jones has spent decades digging this hole and slinging the poo poo all over other people, ignoring the harm he causes all along the way. gently caress him he deserves it and I hope it hurts.

That part was seriously unsettling. It's like, it's pretty bad when he's just complaining like he does 99% of the time, but the 1% of the time when he's bragging about being on top of things is somehow even more gross.

edit: Listening to the recent episode, Alex really reminds me of a child playing with their toys and making up adventures. It's all Saturday morning cartoon stuff but replace all the villains with George Soros, Bill Gates, and whoever else joined the Globalist Cabal that week. No detail or dialog is too over-the-top, especially when you know that nobody will check your sources, and who cares that Skeletor, Gargamel, and Megatron have nothing to do with one another, they're all part of every one of Destro's evil plans with COBRA because those are the toys we have.

It has been said repeatedly that alex is definitely mentally developed up to like 10 or 12 or so, and then hit a dead stop on all maturation

It would explain a lot of his behavior in the court cases. I know that I was likely to just ignore problems when I was that age. It’s how I had my appendix burst and I wrote it off as food poisoning for two or three days.

I find it difficult to find the exact line between performative rage for the audience and being genuinely mentally unwell. This episode crossed it for me though. He is not a happy, stable man and it really shows once he gets a few drinks in him.

The ability alex showed of his fake crying and freaking the gently caress out, only to flip the switch and say in a totally normal(for alex) tone of voice “we’re gonna go to an ad and then come back with the dukes of hazzard song” was what did it for me. Definitely some unwell poo poo going on there.

I am still so amused by the setup and punchline of Alex getting so angry over some creepy ghoul bragging about how many people he's killed to impress that NYT journalist... only to get completely sidetracked by his own little masturbation session about how violent and powerful he is on the exact same tier as the infamous Navy SEAL copypasta. Even by his low standards, the complete and total lack of self-awareness there is just staggering.
