Hope he dies alone penniless in a cardboard box used for a home in the winter.
Then when looking up POS in the dictionary his picture is one of them used.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy (the rotten bastard).

Rat bastard just filed for bankruptcy protection to avoid paying for his despicable crimes against the Sandy Hook families. Asshole.

He's apparently trying to hide his assets from the Sandy Hook families who are suing him for these efforts too.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Alex Jones is facing a new lawsuit in Texas over accusations that the Infowars host hid millions of dollars in assets after families of Sandy Hook victims began taking him to court.

After getting tagged for a fraction of his net worth for pushing Sandy Hook as a hoax Alex Jones's good buddy Roger Stone steps in to help Notice I said steps in not steps up. Stepping up would mean he's coughing up his own money but why do that when there are still sheep to fleece. Of course the MAGAmorons will never see the irony in millionaires asking them for donations and happily cough up their $$.
Stop asking how stupid can they be because they see that as a challenge.

Fucking soulless bastard just lost bigtime. Almost $1billion in total to the families.

(sorry for my French)

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—A Connecticut jury’s imposition of a billion-dollar penalty on Alex Jones will have a “chilling effect on lying,” Tucker Carlson warned.

Choking back tears as he delivered his commentary, the Fox News host said that the jury’s decision “was no more and no less than a direct attack on the lying life style.”

“For those of us who make our living by spreading falsehoods, baseless conspiracy theories, and extremist fever dreams, this is a time to be afraid,” he said. “Very afraid.”

“I think I speak for many Fox viewers when I say I don’t want to live under a tyranny of facts,” he added.

Carlson’s concerns about the impact of the jury’s decision on the mendacity profession found support on Capitol Hill from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“I want to say that the jury was manipulated by mind-control rays beamed down from the Rothschild family’s satellites, but now I can’t afford to,” she said.

What Alex Jones did should be criminally punishable.

It is interesting to consider that the Borowitz piece is pretty much all lies, technically. The big difference is deceptive intent.

Isn't what the The Borowitz Report does satire?

Ironic satire.

Of course. And the purpose of satire is to illuminate the truth, not to deceive people. No one is supposed to actually believe that Tucker Carson actually said that the jury’s decision “was no more and no less than a direct attack on the lying life style.” Still, saying he said that is, taken by itself, an untruth.

The way one can distinguish satire from lying propaganda is through reference to intent regarding the actual truth.

Indeed there is a pending SCOTUS case on this very topic for which The Onion submitted an awesome amicus brief. It's a very funny, interesting and worthy read.

If "reasonable people" can understand what Carlson says isn't the truth then "reasonable people" can understand that what The Borowitz Report puts out isn't word for word truth. As Pio said, ironic satire.

No argument.

Except I think Tucker is intending that a great part of his audience will buy it all without critically thinking. Which is how it works when people are bonded to the opinion leaders of 'their side.'

What blows me away is that viewers cannot recognize his show for what it is - a bad faith, dishonest proto-fascist whine-fest intended to cynically manipulate the rubes. He has no intent to impart news or meaningful analysis. It's white nationalist agitprop all the way, baby.

That recognition requires at least a scintilla of critical thinking. People who bond to opinion leaders of their identity group either never do that, or else thankfully give it up once so bonded.

Why bother thinking when you can have someone do it for you.

Judge levies punitive damages in the amount of $473 million on Alex Jones plus the judge froze his assets to keep this dirtbag from hiding or moving his ill-gotten gains.

Good news for the families who were tormented for years by this orc and his hideous orc followers.

Seems like time to look into any other crimes he may have committed. He really should be in prison, imho.

The Onion wins Alex Jones' Infowars in bankruptcy auction

Quote:

The satirical news company plans to shutter Jones’ InfoWars and rebuild the website featuring well-known internet humor writers and content creators, according to a person with knowledge of the sale
The good and the bad. Infowars will be shut down, bad that the Onion is not going to recreate as yet another satirical site. Imagine the MAGAts believing every spoof they write, a wasted opportunity imo. Kudos to Onion, they are being lauded as doing this as a public service, rightfully so.
