Imagine a guy with no neck successfully selling nutritional supplements. What a country.
That and steroids.
Poor guy. This is suppression of freedom of speech.
*Nobody even questions how quintessentially communist and totalitarian it is*
😄
I can also imagine him sitting watching fox new in boxer shorts eating out of a gallon jug of ice scream hollering at the TV.
@@theturquoisedream9244 so you? Without the Fox News
I hope they go for Marjorie Green next for all of her ugliness about it not happening! She should be held accountable also!
She’s a nutcase too
so you know, jones didn't invent the sandyhook story, he only covered it. sandyhook was a fema drill. not defending jones, he latches onto alt news and spins it to discredit it.
And she's a F******** CONGRESSWOMAN what a world we live in😔😔😔😔😡😡😡😡
Screw that guy! I hope they sue him down to his dirty drawers. Then, after they strip his cash, let the DoJ try, convict and jail him for 1/6!
It always confised me how this could be a conspiracy involving thousands of people: other teachers, students, parents, police, reporters, responding EMT's; ER personnel, morgue attendats and other hospital personnel. How did this ever gain traction? Have we really become this stupid, or is this just the basket of deplorables? His staff should be sued as well.
"this just the basket of deplorables" is the correct answer -- stay strong, we have to defeat them by voting for sane people (not republicans)
@@NITESKYLIGHT you say..........Have we really become this stupid? I hate to say it but it looks like the answer is yes.
If you can answer me this question then maybe the rest can start to make sense. How is it that Gene Rosen and his story passed scrutiny? Do you recall his wild account of seeing 6 kids sitting in a circle outside, not knowing what was going on other than a loud bus driver yelling that 'it's going to be ok', then apparently leaving? Then his claim that he just casually invites these 6 children inside his home where they play with his large collection of stuffed animals for 15-30 minutes before he apparently finds out there was a shooting? How is it possible that this story was all over the news where he did multiple interviews talking about it, and these 6 children were somehow accounted for during this crisis to where his story was corroborated? The man was clearly lying, yet we had the media covering him all over the place and no one questioning him despite him even having conflicting accounts of what happened. His acting for the cameras was even very creepy and odd. You can see the video even on youtube of him "rehearsing" his lines, where he is flat out caught red handed literally doing just that. I know that he could just be a bad apple in this ordeal, but I have a hard time piecing together how his story became part of the "official story" in the first place.
Is it just going to be considered ok and normal in a situation like SH to where 6 young children without supervision could end up at some random strange mans house and be invited in to play with stuffed animals.. and that's considered so normal that the news is even going to cover it without batting an eye?
Is there ANY "conspiracy" you believe to be true? Please tell me one....
He's got a dozen LLCs. He's got plenty of money. He's just hiding it.
oh, don't worry. he won't have it for long. more and more Americans will choose to no longer do business with him.
For miss-reporting a story? Like the Hunter Biden laptop, it was the cleanest election in the history of the United States, Joe Biden got 81 million votes, Joe Biden is going to unite the people, there is no inflation it’s only transitory, Joe Biden is going to have China in check and Putin under control? I can go on with likely 4 to 5 dozen more lies that have damaged us as a whole Country and harmed every American citizen than what this clown circus trial is attempting to do. You better wake up, they will come for you next comrade. Do you really think there’s a democratic and republican party? 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
@@robotron17 Ya. Ok. Move along now.
@@mrbubetube I wonder.
Yes and he will get away with it cause thats what rich people do...justice is an entertainment for all of us regular suckers pretending we live in a fair world
Alex is a rare talent. He turned his civil trial into a criminal trial (perjury).
What a genius.😄
Hat's off to his attorney's.
His whole business was based on outrageous lying. Having found the suckers who would believe him, he then sold them a load of rubbish through Amazon. He couldn't turn the lie generator off in court, but judges are lenient about that sort of thing.
Alex Jones is a hero and losers that watch msnbc will never understand that
The biggest clown in this case has to be the lawyer of his. Sending the clients phone records to the prosecutor exposing all criminality has to be the Clown move of the year.
@@SeanyMack
I'm a lifelong Republican and I've had enough common sense than to listen to him.
He's nothing more than a big mouth opportunist that'll say anything to appeal to people, he might as well be a democrat.
All he had to do to keep this from happening was close his mouth. He has no one to blame but himself
Sounds like the Texas legislature overstepped their authority with that cap. My guess is it was to protect the petroleum companies from class action lawsuits brought by the Texas communities whose air and water they foul.
Facts
I agree. You are right on 🎯🎯🎯
What angers we the most is Alex Jones is fundraising off the hurt he did to people. This man has no soul
And if you read the insane ramblings of his followers you are left horrified and asking who are these people and how could their minds be poisoned to this degree.
@@vincentschmitt7597 Those are the same people that complain about inflation, gas prices and food shortages yet, those same people always have money for a Trump rally and buying crap from Alex Jones but not for everything else listed above. My sympathy for them dried up a long time ago. You can't cure stupid.
@@vincentschmitt7597 weak minded people
One of his ex wife's mentioned among many horrible traits this guy has, being souless was just one.
The thing that angers me the most is how he has been shown to be a completely unhinged grifter and people still pop up in these videos defending him.
"We have a plan, send us your money" Sounds familiar 🙄 The worst part is that a lot of people actually fall for it 🤯
Rachel - YES ! I have been saying that from the beginning. trump, jones, etc are NOT the problem. It's the millions (on the right and left) who believe the media.
The right and the left are being played like a fiddle by the media !!
Check out “Ground News”. From a patent attorney group in Denver.
Rates all media regarding left-center-right lean and accuracy.
Their feature called 'Blind Spot' shows how much the media shows or avoids the various stories.
People believe the media tells us the truth !! NO !! They simply sell advertising.
People LOVE to be told, “YOU ARE RIGHT !!” So that is what sells.
Poor guy. This is suppression of freedom of speech.
*Nobody even questions how quintessentially communist and totalitarian it is*
“We got mad at what you said. Give me your money”
Sandy HOOK Parents
@@74nova36 Love your sarcasm !
He follows the trump playbook for grifting
Couldn't happen to a more deserving individual
What about the perjury? Is the judge going to do anything about that?
It's not just Alex Jones, it's a message to American politics that accountability is finally coming back to the table.
Yeah, but Conservatives still think the January 6th attacks were fine and dandy.
About time America was descending into the gutter
Is it though? We'll see.
Sure hope so ,still waiting on trump ,modeling the orange jump suite. Along with all those who aided him.
Don’t count on it. Praying upon the emotions of low-information voters pays very well. Just ask your most visible religious leaders.
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING that there are so many loopholes that protect the wealthy criminals in our society. no matter what they do their culpability is is diminished by LAW. WHY WOULD THESE CRIMINALS STOP? THEIR "CONSEQUENCES" BECOME JUST A COST OF DOING THEIR NASTY BUSINESS. WHY WOULD THEY EVER STOP?
You should see a therapist, you’re wrapped up in your own outrage and you look to comments for validation.
Why wouldn't the wealthy criminals put loopholes in the laws they write? That's the whole point.
@@godwins2027 but he's correct 🤨
This will be one of the key examples that we will look back on that illustrates how far left extremists wish to strangle free speech. Alex Jones, as over zealous and enthusiastic as he can be, has merely spoken words from his mouth. His statements were commentary regarding the overall state of modern politics and was full of nuance. But to punish him with a fine of near $50m when the president with the largest audience in the world - Joe Biden - inferred Kyle Rittenhouse was a 'WHITE SUPREMACIST' on national TV? If the parents are getting this type of compensation. What compensation should Kyle get when he had MAJOR security risks and always will do? The radical left are doing dirty work in plain sight for all to see. And they do not care.
I agree... Nancy Pelosi brought her son with her on her Asia trip to make business deals and the media didn't mention it
That dude is not well. Deeply in his head, that is.
Most of us have been waiting for justice here for so long. I'm glad the day has come!
He needs to be locked up for perjury!!!
Texas jails are already overcrowded with people trying to register to vote while on parole. Perjury ain't nothing compared to getting misinformation saying you can register to vote...smdh
Murky, obscure finances are not good business practice. I think the IRS should help Alex Jones to be a better business owner by giving every one of his subsidiary companies a DEEP audit.
About as DEEP as the men go in your life. Don't get the monkey 🐵 pox.Have some restraint this weekend.😜
He may find himself being charged with perjury. If so and he's convicted, he'll get a deep audit in prison.
@@cocacola4blood365 Hope so. However, between whatever supplements he peddles and what prison inmates would attempt to smuggle in, I would be more trusting of what any inmate is peddling because at least one knows what the risks could be and just walk away.
@@cocacola4blood365 both of those things would put a HUGE smile on my face. Actually, either way, I'll be smiling.
Trump didn't run against Biden.
He ran against Biden, the Clintons, the Obamas
CNN, MSN, NBC, ABC, NPR, the elites, ETC.
This man ran against every mainstream
elite and Mainstream Media, and
He never backed down!
This is why I support Donald Trump.
I was in Danbury hospital when the news broke and a nurse there got the news about her child’s school. The terror on her face was real.
I hope there’s some jail time coming as well, this kind of cruelty needs to be severely punished
Some Americans are out of their mind, if they buy any of his snake oil. It is a great day for the family who lost their children. God bless them.
Take your nth booster and crawl back to your dungeon.
so you know, jones didn't invent the sandyhook story, he only covered it. sandyhook was a fema drill.
Well those diet pills don't seem to be working, considering his volume. Or doesn't he trust them himself and does not take them?🤔
Also on the court docket, are several similar cases against Donald Trump - consequences of his election lies.
You’re talking about this guy I hope
Ask Jones's lawyers about his finances.
They have been very helpful so far.
🤣😂🤣
😆 🤣 😂
Well done!
👏 👏 👏
If Alex plays this smart, he could sue his own lawyer for the amount that he was sentenced to pay. His lawyers really damaged him. Totally aside that Jones is liable of the damages that he caused the parents.
Also, it looks as though the amount could get reduced on appeal due to the cap set in Texas law on twice the amount of compensatory damages.
Good one!!🤣🤣😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Someone needs to sue to have him de-platformed not just "fined".
Tongue and eyes removal along with finger removal should be sufficient. He can't see, speak or tweet ever again. I like the Medieval way of doing things. They did not have anesthesia in those days...so get him really drunk and he won't remember a thing.
"I've been lying to you for years. Send me money so I can continue lying to you."
Justice is sometimes slow, but I'm glad to see it still happens!
so you know, jones didn't invent the sandyhook story, he only covered it. sandyhook was a fema drill.
Not yet if you listened to this well.
Defamation is liberal for they hurt my feelings. Anybody with half of a brain cell knows the parents did not do that. Just like they know he is full of crap and can't be trusted. He still has the First Amendment right. He can say any stupid ignorant thing he chooses to say. It doesn't mean anything except for he is ignorant.

Yeah for example hunter biden's laptop.. law is incredibly slow.. support for Alex.
Disgusting that he doesn't show any remorse, instead, he is asking for donations from the audiences, not realizing, not recognizing what damages he had done to the survivors of the sandy hook shooting. Like Alex or like Trump, those people never recognize the value of human lives, they only see the "physical value" of money only.
Trump and jones are both narcissistic and sadistic people. They are not able to feel or have compassion for anyone and another commonality is they don’t know the difference between a lie and the truth. They are both delusional and obsessed with money and power and they actually truly believe they’re above the law.
I can guarantee you that he doesn’t care at all, I don’t know if it’s that he didn’t recognize it. Why would he regret what he said, he initially made money off of it.
How do u feel about tax paid baby murder? If u support abortion yr opinion doesn't matter
This is why I believe his sentence should be he is permanently banned from all social media

Charge Jones with Perjury the minute this trial is done. In Texas, the statute of limitations on perjury is just 2 years. Get cracking mister prosecutor!
He's certainly liable for a charge of perjury, even the judge commented on it, however, a perjury charge in a civil matter is extremely rare. Not saying it can't happen, but history says it won't happen.
May the juries in every case find you guilty of defamation! Punitive damages are not ENOUGH!
Alex: I can't pay that much money. I'll go bankrupt.
Judge: can we see your company's yearly income report then?
Alex: No
My fav part was where the judge said he's not allowed to declare bankruptcy.
He thinks the Michael Scott way of "declaring" bankruptcy is real. LMAO!
Even if he did, a couple of decent forensic accountants would turn that over.
@Terrell payne Because then he has to pay. Duh.
Violation of 8th amendment and bias in the court. It will be overturned and judge will be investigated.
@F Democrats yup
Will there be extra contempt-punishment for him openly calling his judge a “goblin” on air? 😉
extra...? Looks like he's gotten away with the lies under oath.Havent heard anything about perjury or contempt.
@@renszatrapp9639 guess you werent watching. Very closely
There should be : another $45 million. I remember 30 years ago when the boss of my boss said, ok : the only way we can send the message it to hurt them where it counts - their pockets. The honoraria , extra income tied to additional research output , was suspended.
@@renszatrapp9639 the d.a. and the judge both told him he committed perjury at least twice!
That's the point he finally acknowledged sandy hook was real!
There SHOULD be both contempt AND perjury charges.
Why should a liar be stabilized? It boggles the mind.
I fail to understand how a business with a positive income is able to still make money and all the while file bankruptcy claiming to be broke? What an abuse of the system
Financial chicanery. Another company owned by Jones and his parents racked up debt (fake) and then the parent company of InfoWars assumed the debt, thus showing more outgo than income.
With the fires he stoked over the years, frankly, I'm surprised he's still breathing at all-
only 100+ iq comment here
Yup. Even for his own safety.
Helping lead the January 6th riots and lying about vaccines telling people if they took them they’d turn into whole robots.
🐑💨.
Didn't we hang people like this back in the day they say they all wanna go back to?...lol
I know I would be meditating on his very existence. Sick monster. And all involved. Especially the GOP.
Thank you Jury! Nicely done :) God bless you!!!
As if the jury is going to read the comments here,on a second hand news post,on youtube.
@@jamessummers3866 How are you sure that the Jury won't read this. Are you God? Anyways, these families will continue to be Blessed by Jesus sending them each 50 MILLION DOLLARS! This will just continue like that, so get over yourself and stop worshipping a DEMON. Trump will pay next!!!
I can't wait for his perjury trial.
Someone should send in a tax auditor to Jones’s businesses as he won’t tell the court where his money is & hopefully he’ll get caught out for once.!!!
Was that before or after it was revealed that they had two years of his financials showing that the bankruptcy thing is a complete scam and fraud?
After. What a putz!
They can not come to that conclusion in a court room until a judge has ruled on the case all they can do is inform the jury that the trial qas under way. They did that.
I listen to AJ and he was saying he declared bankruptcy so his financial worth would be audited and published for record because the international cartel after Alex for exposing government lies and corruption were saying he was worth over 350 million dollars.
I think his real exposure will come from his bankruptcy proceedings. He will get caught lying and face criminal liability.
@Helena Chin This trial was a civil trial not a criminal trial.
Jones has not been arrested nor charged with a crime, not yet anyway.
The grift never stops and the trial showed he took tens of millions of dollars from the company in the last 2 years !
Caps on Damages should be done away with. That is unfair and it actually protects rich people!
Private company. Doesn’t he own it? Company vs personal is a hazy line.
He could make £800,000 in a day and he’s claiming he is bankrupt. What utter BS
Hiding it in the ground somewhere, guessing what was coming. Happen.
Over 60 million hidden away from the company. It is so illegal to declare bankruptcy when depleting the corp. Into your own accounts.
Why didn't he just settle? He lost half a day of revenue. There's no disincentive to stop him from doing this again.
How about an apology to all the families who lost their children, now he wants the public to pay his debt.
He needs to lose literally everything and wind up homeless and living on the street.
If only
My area is already filled with crazy homeless people.
The only difference between Jones and those guys is that he has a source of income. He loses that and he's indistinguishable from the man I saw cussing out the curb
@@KodachiC Ha! Ha! There's a few verbally abused fire hydrants on the corner of my street! Ha! Ha!
He might well be in jail
Would not wish him to be lose on the streets...homeless people have enough problems.
The fact that a 250+lb man is peddling diet pills is reason enough never to believe him.
250? More like 350.
@the more you know it’s not fat shaming to simply observe that his diet pills *have* to be ineffective.
Nah I would say it is a good case. You can be large and still have the energy to run a very popular show and multi million dollar company. Works for him…
@@champyongear8186 Still proof the pills don't work or he doesn't trust them himself
@@champyongear8186 OK, Q-anonner...

It's not possible to send Alex Jones a harsh enough message!
So WHY is Jones still talking about how innocent he is on his show??
WHY is he STILL spreading his lies??
WHY is he allowed to do this??
Freedom of the Press, sorry this isnt China or the Soviet Union you fascist. Also the fine violates his 8th amendment right from excessive fines.

That is basically all they can do. Lying for profit is the republican business model.
excellent , thoughts and prayers sent
What insanity ........ Jail time .
Not harsh enough. He should have been ordered to pay the full $151M. And he should definitely go to jail for perjury.
If he lied in court about his financial situation, they should charge him for another perjury too. They should start investigating him & his company to see if he in fact did lie. I bet he's hiding a lot of money.
Absolutely!
There are still plenty of court cases coming at him!! That was only 1 set of parents! I am sure EVERY set of parents and the families of every teacher will wait in line!
@@suzyfarnham3165 Yes! Exactly!
He doesn't care. He won't change. He'll continue to fund raise and he knew going into this case that he would be appealing whatever judgement. His lawyer didn't care, was sloppy and tried endlessly to claim a mistrial.
The most important thing...... He was proven, to be a total scam, and, low frecuency soul.

His lawyer might've known Alex and was guilty as sabotaged the case as best he could without doing anything that could be called out as a deliberate ethics violation.
Texas Supreme Court will proly void most of the judgement.
Oh yeah, AG is milking his fan base and they are eager to give their money
Alex Jones literally just said "hey, i'm gonna go broke because i pushed a lie and wanted this lie to be real. please pay for my lawsuit"
Totally insane. The guy is pure evil and somehow he needs to be put away.
Needs to be put down, more like.
Even his lawyers hate him. :D ☮️
My only problem with this is how the damages are paid out. The families of the victims should have got the $45 million.
I'm loving how accountability and consequences are literally returning into the form of karma for people like Alex Jones. He deserves what he's getting. Now if we could only get the same energy for 45 himself for Jan 6th.
Wish we could get this energy for George bush and 9/11 or Hillary Clinton and Benghazi.
Some texts were 'intimate messages' between Alex Jones and Roger Stone! YUCK!
@@pmac1951 Trump looks horrible! I hope he doesn't die before the indictments come! Maybe that's what Merrick Garland is hoping. He is taking his sweet time hoping he won't have to do anything!

Somewhat hard to not know what the word "harm" means. Yes, I used it, and meant exactly what the definition states. Jones has caused immense harm, to the family and victims of Sandy Hook, not to mention so many others influenced by his campaigns of disinformation and untruths.
@@josepharrington8391
Keep using it that way and the definition changes.

They are impotents, and conspiracies gives them the impression of power and superiority they craved all theirs lives and were unable achives because of theirs lack of intelligence and education.
Jones is a corrupt wacko who has played the system and is truly a piece of human garbage. Even worse is that significant numbers of republicans support Jones and believe his conspiracy lies and trash.

I know. How dare we let people say things and let other people listen to those things. What a stupid system that totally doesn't work at all
@@Kavewolf1989 LOL ... how dare we let crooked vendors sell us rancid food and tell it is farm fresh.

Texas law will try children as adults and has the death penalty but it draws the line at punitive damages, capping them so low is ironic.
Now comes the really fun part: the financial declaration. Alex is going to have SO many chances to commit perjury, and this time I hope he's successful.
Touche 1954Stevied!
i have seen in court cases over many years that people who are caught lying continually on the stand never getting put in for perjury and the richer your are the less chance of it happening
How people are able to listen to Alex J for more than 3 seconds is beyond me
so you know, jones didn't invent the sandyhook story, he only covered it. sandyhook was a fema drill. i agree, jones is unwatchable.
USA need to get their education system straight once and for all.
Take ur vaccine.....thats how
It's a horrifying fact that there are people in this world (esp. in America) who can't not decipher a lie from the truth. Look how many people give to the evangelical churches...suckers are born every minuet. How do you think Trump got in office!?!
Lies ain't Free
It's Texas, where statutes protect malicious defendants.
He reminds me of the televangelist. "Send me your money." Bleeding people of their savings whining, while living in a mansion.
Yes, but televengelists do it for the dead god guy who make fish and breadsticks and walks on puddles. So... Umm.. oh wait, both are scams... Yeah I guess you're right.

He has the same MO.

I agree with you he hurt those parents of saying.the shooting that was fake no it's not fair to the families to have to gone though this again hopefully this would teach him not to be goodie to shoes dearly so much
I just picture Jones over there, BBQ sandwich in one hand, trying to shove dollar bills into mason jars to bury in the back yard so they can't get his money. Liars always out, buddy boy.
This maybe why he wants donations in Bitcoin
They could always use metal detectors to detect the jar lids….lol.
@@bliss4383 Sorry, pal. They now make plastic lids for mason jars. Don't feel too bad though. For $49,000,000.00, they can scrape off and sieve through the top six feet of soil on a fifty-acre farm.

His diet supplements certainly work.
He doesn't look a day over 65.
A huge 65 year old
He is a ticking time bomb
And he looks fit AF.
@@milliegirl7514 I agree and suspect the same.
@@milliegirl7514 He looks like he's actively working on his detonation, like in Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life".
Better not offer him a peppermint leaf 😎
@@notroll1279 a tiny little wafer thin mint?
Yay! Finally. He really belongs in Prison and should have to close his company down. He is SOULESS!
Freedom of speech doesn't protect you from consequences.
The total he has to pay in damages should be Billions, not just millions.
There is a big difference between free speech and hate speech. They need to nail him for ALL his ill gotten money. He also needs to go to jail for perjury and contempt.
It wasn't even hate speech just total ignorance. Just decides a tragedy is fake to avoid having any decency or empathy at all. Called the Mother a crisis actor her kid is just playing dead too? SMH.
You can have alternate interpretations….but not alternate facts. Heinous lies are not “free speech.”
The great thing is that it's $45m to TWO of the families, There's actually 2 more cases with 2 families each so.. hopefully we end up with $150m all up.. Sadly no jail time.
You've got to be kidding . You've got this coming to you. You put those parents thru so much pain. As far as it goes ,your career in media is gone
I don’t know Michael we are talking about Texas and the extremist of America are not the brightest color in the box.
@@RJ-gv4ep I guess it's true you liberals do need coloring books to keep yourselves from rioting and looting.
I find it absolutely incredible that people in this are saying the trial is violating his 8th for cruel and unusual punishment. These people are beyond parody. Truly zero intelligent life forms in that audience.
*Yourself included*
Cruel and unusual punishment that HE caused the FAMILIES
Remember the last lines of "The Galaxy Song":
"There must be intelligent life somewhere out in space
Because there's bugger all here on Earth."
There is NOTHING violating Jones' Eighth Amendment protections against cruel or unusual punishment. For one thing, this is a civil trial, NOT a criminal trial. The Eighth Amendment protects people convicted of crimes from having to endure punishments like boiling alive or hanging, drawing and quartering. Civil trials for civil offenses AREN'T covered by the Eighth Amendment.
And, while we're at it, let's consider what Jones has done to the lives of the Sandy Hook victims' families. As a result of his propaganda, families have been harassed verbally, by mail, and email. They've been threatened with death. They've had to move after being doxxed. And through all of this, Jones has continued to claim that the Sandy Hook massacre was a "false flag" operation to get people to give up their Second Amendment rights.
Bull$h!t! Jones deserves to lose EVERY SINGLE CENT of his wealth.
@@johndemeritt3460 Well said!
Cruel and unusual punishment has nothing to do with paying a fine, no matter how much the amount is. Cruel and unusual punishment is more like being beaten up by law-enforcement, locked up in solitary confinement for a long period of time or simply being unjustifiably put on death row.
If one does considers paying a fine is cruel and unusual punishment then they should look at what the banks and credit card companies are doing to their customer base.
Alex Jones was convicted and founded guilty of committing a crime of defamation. Anything short of not being locked up is not cruel and unusual punishment.
THE SAD THING IS NO AMOUNT OF MONEY CAN PAY FOR THE PAIN THIS CRAP PUT THESE FAMILIES THROUGH.
pfft... 45 million wasn't nearly enough for what he's done. Punitive damages should not be dischargeable.
If small businesses and “regular” people were as low and slimy as donald trump and alex jones, they’ed NEVER hurt for cash.
I don’t know. We seem to have so many grifters in this business already, I don’t Think they are enough fools with money to spare that an amateur grifter could make enough money.
It’s hard to find words for Alex Jones. Disgusting comes to mind yet it feels too kind.
Hung, drawn and quartered are three more.
I think the words I prefer to describe AJ is a vile immoral monstrosity with delusions of humanity.
when "disgusting" feels too kind -- shows us where we are doesn't it
We are so broke. Not what the forensic accountant said. $70 mil in annual revenues he said. Non trading companies shifting money around he said. IRS likely going to take a closer look after this I hope.
NO!
I won't be satisfied until I see video of Jones dumpster-diving outside of a Denny's.
Love Ari. He explains all aspects of every story he covers, an important factor with our world's complicated news
This is Ali Velshi, not Ari Melber. Both of them are awesome journalists, though.
@@9sheri9 thanks. I was just about to say the same thing.
I was like wait…. This isn’t Ari.. 🤔
Alex Jones, should have been on the Ricki Lake Show !
They should immediately seize all of his assets cars boats houses everything should be seized pending is full payment of these judgments.
Yeah, just like they do to "commoners"!!
It's infowars that's being sued not Alex Jones. Now if his houses and cars are under the company, then yes, seize them.
Having To Pay Basically 50 Million Is A Victory For Those Families But It Doesn't Bring Back Their Loved Ones
Excellent. So when do the court hearings for all the other parents take place?
And when do MTG, Carlson, and all the other people that gave this lie oxygen face court next?
The man sat in that courtroom and committed perjury and nothing happened.
Mainstream news commits perjury all the time but you don't say anything? Okay
You mean like Epstein did with the Clinton?
No he didn't
@@abigalanderson7494 nice argument
@@00maniacmanny00 great comment.
THANK YOU judge, jury and Alex's dumb lawyers!
The courts and the victims can put a Lean judgement against everything he has until he pays them everything
There should be no profit in lies!
