He will pay a fraction of what is owed and then claim that it's paid in full. He's a giant piece of shit who brought this on himself.

He's 100% a crisis actor.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago

It's all part of his act

When you're rich, the law is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual law.

I would break out my violin, but my electron microscope is out for repairs.

Crying is a moment of human vulnerability. Are we really going to kick this man while he is down? We've already won, his assets are getting liquidated, there's no shame in acknowledging that he is experiencing the loss... I'm just fucking with you, this horrible troll of a man could cry a river every day, and he'll still never experience the pain any of his victims have experienced. I hope he never gets over it.

I was so close to creating an user in an instance where I can downvote, but you saved it :-D

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Honestly surprised he didn't capture his tears into little vials and sell them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

"Tegridy Tears"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

He'll do that, but he'll just take water from Flint's pipes.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

he'd have to give the money from that to the sandy hook families.

He will be paying this for the rest of his life

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Boy, that first part of your comment had me activated.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

I was ready to throw some hands (virtually)

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

Given the horror stories I've heard of Sandy Hook survivors getting abused by t heir parents because "YOU BETRAYED THIS FAMILY TO PARROT THOSE LIES THE LIBERAL MEDIA PAYS YOU TO TELL!11"

Yeah...

Wonder what will happen to the "Knowledge Fight" podcast?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Jones is already pivoting to have all his income come through his Dad's company. Info wars probably closes. Either his Dad or Tucker pick him up for a new show that pays him minimum wage but covers his living expenses because he thinks that will screw over the Sandy Hook families.

Overall i think we go maybe a month without Jones. We never hear from Owen, Chase, or Harrison again.

Look I just want the painting show Jones promised when he tried to start up a podcast. I need Jones in the Bob Ross role telling me how to paint the future God shared with me over chicken fried steak.

They will have plenty to cover for as long as they want i think.

They've got so much historic content to focus on and Alex Jones is definitely not going down this easy. I bet anything that if he actually stops being able to do info wars (big doubt, he'll probably just make a new company and broadcast from his basement if he isn't somehow stopped), he'll end up with a RT show like Carlson

Amazing how quickly these rabid bullies fold when they actually face consequences.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago

Crybully. It's likely fake. Gotta rev up the persecution complex to get attention for the renamed podcast that opens immediately after.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Pretty much, they aren't stupid, they're just so well protected that they know nothing matters.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

If he's even really crying and not just putting on a show, which he almost certainly is. He's a sociopath, bitter and resentful, and remorse is s foreign concept to him. Hopefully nobody gives him a job once he's been bled dry. I want to see him living in a cardboard box under a bridge, then see somebody come along, kick him in the sack, and steal his box.

I've got nothing to add other than, Alex Jones is a big piece of shit

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago

Alex Jones is a big piece of shit

I, for one, value your contribution to the discourse 🙏

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Good for the families.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think he's probably just acting

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 months ago

Crisis acting, if you will.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago

Damn, all he had to do is not being a fucking cunt and not claiming a terrible tragedy didn't happen!

Rita just out their living their best life! Go wicked bitch!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Forgive me, but is Rita Repulsa non-binary? Genuinely asking.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Pretty sure she's just bin-ornery on account of getting space dumpstered for a millenia.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

I don't think evil cares
