A billion dollar judgement against this guy and he is still spewing lies.
Billion and a half.
A billion and a half so far!

It's truly unbelievable, isn't it. It illustrates the degree to which people are truly a slave to their impulses and delusions. No external factors will ever reform this guy, and it's really a sad thing to watch a person trapped in their own kind of hell.
He knows what the truth is. He just wants money and cocaine, so he continues doing these.
Kamala lives rent free in his head. I've heard, you know...on TV, that there's a way to get her out and it involves a power drill with a long drill bit. But, shhh...don't tell anyone - it's a liberal secret.
If he drilled out his medula oblongata with a half inch drill bit, that would own the libs so hard
If we don't ever get to see the families of Sandy Hook take his money, I would at the very least hope to see Alex Jones incarcerated with no ability to reach a public audience. That's not all though. His only source of news should be restricted to daily governmental briefings on what democratic elected officials are doing and left-leaning news organizations coverage. One more thing. We give him a recording session of 1 hour every month so everyone gets their dose of schadenfreud.
That's the only thing he knows and sells.
How else should he get money now?
the thing is he wasn't in trouble for his lies generally speaking, he was in trouble for specific lies that made the sandy hook families' lives hell. As long as he's talking about general conspiracy bullshit that doesn't materially damage anyone, he can still say whatever the fuck he wants.
🤔 Isn't he making a specific lie about Kamala Harris here that could be shown to materially damage her election campaign? Plus all it would take is one of these nutjobs taking pot shots at airplanes or something to expand the scope of harm. He's definitely playing with fire on this one.
theoretically, perhaps, but remember you have to prove the damages in court somehow, and the jones was liable. The Sandy Hook families were dealing with very long list of direct consequences from his conspiracies, like people showing up at their houses and harassing them.
I suppose if there was an assassination attempt with evidence of the perpetrator saying it was due to this conspiracy then yeah that would be similar. seems pretty unlikely there would be clear enough evidence for that though, given all the stuff people hate on democrats for.
