I’m quite surprised. From the outside, how the US appears, I would have expected Trump to do some BS or the courts threw it out because free speech for psychopaths etc. But somehow that didn’t happen?
hahahahahahhaahhaaaa lmao
digging on Magastan!
Because the country is more divided than ever and Republicans just want you to thunk MAGA has a chokehold everywhere. They dont. Also, Jones is a peripheral not the main cast in Magaland.
Let’s just say he made the grave mistake of disrespecting dead children, and that pissed off too many people, prompting a class action.
Let’s also not forget the shitshow that is the court proceeding, where his lawyer ‘accidentally’ leaked his text, and he went with a no-show.
Last but not least, he’s never in Trump’s circle. He acts like he is, but those people probably don’t even know he exists.
Jones has used up all his capital and his buddies are too busy dodging their own lawsuits/criminal charges is how it happened.
Jones was always just an independent grifter. Its not like he was in Trump’s inner circle. Also Jones lost the case over a year ago. I think the verdict came out under the Biden regime.
Let us not forget that the lawyer for Alex Jones sent a full copy of all Alex Jones’ text messages for the past two years to the opposing counsel and did not claw them back or make any attempt or give any notice until the window passed. Meaning the opposing counsel got to sit there and call Jones out for lying on the stand, using his own words from his own private texts. It really hurt his credibility with the jury, I imagine.
p.s. Sorry you can’t read whole source without a work around.
Alex Jones had credibility to lose?
That is an astonishing fuckup
It’s very difficult for these asshats to get decent lawyers because most lawyers care about win rates and their public perception to gain clients
Not really that astonishing though…
So good. Fuck the info-lectual!
Are the text messages not evidence that would have had to be turned over to the opposing counsel anyway? Don’t really know how the whole lawyering thing works
To that point, as far as I know, he had denied having any relevant messages and not turned them over, despite being required to.
It’s a state court civil hearing, so Trump can’t pardon it. The president controls the federal government, not the state courts. Jones lost because he told the entire country that parents were lying about their kids being shot. The kids who were shot on national television and whose bodies were registered by the coroner and buried. It is in fact very hard to win a defamation law suit, because of our first amendment protections, but literally any surface level investigation at all would’ve easily proven the allegations as factually false. You’re right though, Trump absolutely would absolve Jones if he could.
He was just that egregious. Also fascists don’t have solidarity really, he “peaked” a decade ago and no one cares about him anymore, not even his supposed allies. In short, he is a joke and everyone knows it.
