A wild scene at the end of the Alex Jones trial today when Alex turned into Col. Jessup, talking about liberals loving to kill Iraqis, then: “I legitimately thought (Sandy Hook) might have been staged, and I stand by that and don’t apologize for it.”

And I remember the shitstorm that ensued on the "right" when Obama began withdrawing troops from Iraq.

Liberals love to kill Iraqis? Umm, we were the ones out on the streets protesting to try to stop the war.

This guy is a skidmark on the underwear of a shitstain.

He's unhinged but I don't think he's stupid. He knows he's going to lose the case and will have to pony up to these families he has tortured, but he's betting that if he can play this up for his audience they'll continue to tune in, but his mech, and pay for his sins and he'll just keep on going.

For him, it's about the ratings. His behavior keeps his loyal base loyal. He'll continue to pull money in from the walking jawless fish who constitute his followers. Advertisers will continue to see his program as profitable.

Suing him won't end him. We need to do two things:

1. convince advertisers that supporting his show is business suicide.

2. get someone with real regulatory power to look at the shit he sells as "herbal supplements" or whatever. It's quackery and should be labelled as such.

Why can't these reich-wing shit-biscuits keep their stupid mouths shut?

That's what happens in this country when you get to scream lies into a microphone day after day with no rebuttals to correct the lies. Thanks, Ronnie Rayguns.

He can't even stop lying in a court of law! This drooling moron has so much money stashed in places all over this planet they'll never wipe him out, which is what he deserves.

He'll still have his bottom-feeding radio show in over 1000 stations when he walks away from this. He doesn't care one bit.

The only thing I hope for is him getting throat cancer from all his screaming into microphones. I really mean that, too. I hate that shithead. 🤨
