Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

I hope Alex Jones is ruined for this (more than he's ruined his own life, I mean) and it scares off a lot of the more "mainstream" right-wing commentators from peddling their conspiracy bullshit.

It's honestly pretty scary how much Fox News now hints at stuff that was fringe conspiracy bullshit just a few years ago. A whole lotta grandmas are worried about secret FEMA camps in Wal-mart.

jfc that's what that was about? if I was that judge I'd throw my gavel right through that stupid poo poo

jones' lawyers literally have nothing better to work with, he is clearly guilty as all get out

this kind of crap might work on a sympathetic judge trying to maintain high minded impartiality but after multiple years of this nonsense the judge put a default judgement on jones which is like the worst thing that can happen to you in a civil trial and you can really only get to this point by being a massive shithead flagrantly challenging the court to come at you

the same judge is the one in the court today and she is entirely 100% done with jones' bullshit

Alex's lawyers wanted to put on a big posterboard claiming that Alex Jones only did 27 hours of coverage on Sandy Hook and that was barely any coverage at all, and the judge threw that it because it wasn't true. The actual true thing was that Alex Jones only provided 27 hours of tape on Sandy Hook and ignored a bunch of discovery requests

27 hours seems like a lot of coverage. That's like 3 full length seasons of a syndicated half hour TV show, the combined runtime of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's phase 3 movies, two and a half runthroughs of Ken Burns's Civil War, or nearly a quarter of a Peter Jackson movie.

Eh, I have coworkers who had no idea who Alex was until I had to explain my gay frog shirt. They definitely exist. I've just known about him for so long, it makes me do a double take when someone who doesn't comes along.

There might be people who just moved to Austin that don't know of Alex Jones. No way you could live there for more than 2 years without running into him or one of his idiots.

Alex Jones NEVER said no children died at Sandy Hook (in 2012 or 2013)
