Its pretty interesting to hear the forensic psychiatrist talk about the psychological impact on the families is really kind of heart breaking.

Eh 'unfun' means that the horrific effects on the families are being centered rather than letting Alex and his minions continuously make a sideshow of this trial, so I'm okay with it.

Plus the defense will get to question this same expert and is going to poo poo the bed as hard as ever going by his objections so far, so just give it time.

It’s quietly damning, because this information on trauma and how others respond to one’s trauma is applicable in so many ways.

It’s not just weird Sandy Hook conspiracy theorists being assholes to grieving parents, it’s a parent minimizing trauma in their child, it’s genocide denialists, it’s the indifference when yet another black person is murdered by a cop on camera, it’s the horrific suicide rates among trans youth.

What was the judge just talking about? The thing where she thought it was one matter, but the lawyers disagreed and the defense specifically wanted something about "two lines"?

I only came in an hour ago and I'm still playing catch up, not helped at all by the audio on the stream being apparently piped in via dixie cups with string.

maybe they can make it fun again by putting Jones into a giant hamster ball or one of those human gyro rides.

Also give everyone in a court room a few freebie chili water baloons to throw at Gyro Jones and then charge for more throws.

Owen self owned pretty hard when he was on the stand.

At this point the defense is just throwing everything they can at the wall and hoping something hits. Right before the break there was an exchange that was basically:

Defense: And in 2016 didn't Hillary Clinton run ads tying Donald Trump to Alex Jones?

Witness: I...don't remember ever seeing one of those (and no doubt that was because he lives in a Blue ocean where that wouldn't have played).

Defense: *Pause* But she did run those ads.

Witness: I never saw any.

The defense lawyers are like those sitcom characters who tear apart their own houses to find their keys only to discover the keys were in the left pocket and not the right pocket like usual based on how often they just completely play themselves.

Unless I'm misremember or it's changed (both are entirely possible), in Alex's... cosmology for wont of a better word, the Queen of England is a dude. Also a robot.

Alex doesn't usually have much truck with lizard people, that's more David Icke's thing and Alex has mostly hated Icke. He's softened on him very recently and is doing a reverse Stalin, but historically Alex has poo poo all over the lizard people thing.

They were allowed to introduce evidence and dispute facts. They provided Wikipedia entries and CSAM, made up poo poo, and then refused to take part in the court proceedings until the judge finally went, "Fine. You lose."

They don't get to whine about it being unfair and lovely when they're the ones who poo poo the place up.

Alex doesn't like UFO stuff and aliens and steers away from it. I think it's because when he started, Bill Cooper already had the alien niche of that style of rightwing radio staked out. Jones obviously was influenced by Cooper, same with Limbaugh, but he purposely tried to do his own thing so he didn't have to compete with either. Since both Cooper and Limbaugh are dead, I don't think he feels as much need to stay away from those areas. He's been going big into ultraterrestrial stuff recently, saying they're demons from a Hell dimension that the Democrats are in service to and possess anyone to the left of him, but that's mostly been within the last decade I think. He wasn't as big into the Christian Dominionist thing early on in his career, just being crypto to full on fascist.

They had a chance to produce evidence, it was called "discovery" and the fact that they outright refused to hand over documents or provide representatives of the company who were prepared on the topics they were told they would be asked about is why they are here. Alex's lawyers can't protest his innocence because he's already been found at fault. They can't talk about the 1st Amendment because this is a civil case and no one in government limited his speech. He had years to get his poo poo together and didn't. Don't feel bad for Alex Jones or even try to argue the system is stacked against him, he's just experiencing consequences for his own ghoulish actions.

The Construction specifically states in the 1st Amendment that conservative, Christian white men are allowed to say anything they want and it's illegal to critisize them or disagree with them in any way.

Oh, I agree! Several of Jones' previous lawyers hosed up pre-trial so badly that his current one has his hands tied. Mounting the kind of defense Jones would want his lawyer to mount in his current circumstance is an impossible task.

As a separate point from all of that, this dude is an idiot and a bad lawyer and is also doing a bad job.
