Are you paying attention? It's capped.
Compensatory isn't capped, that's the one competent thing Jones' lawyer did trying to convince the jury that these compensatory damages shouldn't be much

Punitive damages are capped at 750k (possibly plus some multiplier of compensatory)

The weird refusal to attribute anything positive to political enemies is kind of creepy. Of course Jones, Trump etc can be funny on purpose.
Sure, but mostly unintentionally and there's no need to hand it to them when they say stuff they clearly believe then go all "can't you take a joke?"

And to add, he's absolutely thrown around Protocols of the Elders of Zion poo poo on his show

That idea that he's not fully there is entirely the point of the plausible deniability approach

How have none of these loons mentioned channel 4's Utopia like it's a documentary for their bullshit?
Or the Netflix remake, which, in a particularly bold move, was released early in the pandemic

(it's too obvious, you see, there's no code to break, nothing to feel special about "noticing")

There's probably no one conspiracy theorist figureheads hate more than people that "scoop" them

We won't find out until Tuesday at the earliest, right? Going with $69 million per plaintiff and not entirely as a joke.

I haven't been following super closely, but I was under the impression that the court was doing other things on Mondays and Fridays

He was also not a household name outside of Austin until way after loose change and the 911 stuff.
"Household name" and "way after" are debatable, he was in Waking Life which came out October 19, 2001 and he was a known quantity at that point

He did something similar where he wore a mask all the time while creating an album. He even lived in the basement of a stadium while working on it.

Was there a knowledge fight episode that covered the day it became apparent the jones team turned over all the texts etc?

I only recently started listening to them and wondered
Yes.

I don't remember which one it is off the top of my head, I'll edit it in later

It should be in #712, which also features the Cantina intro song and guests Mark Bankston and Bill Ogden

/e: I listened to #712 and it didn't cover it, so it's probably in #714/715 that recap Jones on the stand

Update: #714, a bit after 01:46:00 is when the text with PJW gets introduced (and Jones initially tries reading it upside down), ~01:54:00 for the moment

Yeah I'm 100% in favor of instant justice when it's 100% clear

Seriously, bankruptcy court has been around a long time, Alex Jones isn't competent enough to think of anything they haven't seen a thousand times before.
I'm sure he'll find a novel combination somehow.

I've always imagined Jordon as cartoon cartwheeling around the room when he loses it, which is why I have always been pro-Jordan.
Especially in "mic down" moments where you can still hear him screaming from what sounds like the other end of the room
