  1. Jones still doesn’t realize the severity of this trial.
    He thinks he’s doing his propaganda show right now.

    1. @Eduardo Ramos no in the 1950’s we had the FCC Fairness Doctrine that wouldn’t even have allowed him on the air or Fox.

    2. @Sarah J they actually proved he was guilty! It’s about time these hate mongers get held accountable for their lies!

    3. Because he makes a massive profit off of the hype . I want him to go broke but he will probably make more money then they take from him this year.

    1. @Luke_SkyWanker that’s cool veteran I’m one too small world but the difference is one worships a traitor and one doesn’t lol

    2. @Fritz0206 Definitely karma hitting back in a well-deserved way. If I were one of the grieving parents from Sandy Hook, I probably wouldn’t have been able to control my ‘bad’ side and might have sent Jone’s head rolling down the street with one of my samurai swords. Although, I probably would have thought better about that and decided not to dishonor a centuries old blade. I’d have most likely settled on a cheap, mass produced machete and left it behind when the job was done.

  2. Alex Jones arrogance is getting him in deeper trouble. And accidentally sending the other lawyer’s two years worth of text’s was like handing them the holy grail of his guilt and absurdity

    1. @B M that’s just how law works. They didn’t have any legal grounds to claim it as privileged or to keep it from the scope.

    2. @Traci M – Lol. I know they are supposed to disclosed it but they didn’t until 2 weeks ago. They had plenty of time since discovery to determined what was privileged and what was not in all the data. As a way to cover themselves they released all of it right before trial to probably overwhelm the other team or to push their client in front of the bus. That is why I don’t think it was accidental.

  4. Exactly the formula that should be used for ALL lying politicians. Sue them for real damages caused by their lies.

    1. @Jamtommy 🤬 There’s literally two kinds of people in this world. Those that defend Alex Jones and the rest of us.

      Ferrari’s don’t replace children.

  5. My god, the look on his face was priceless. There’s not enough money in the world to compensate for the compounding damage his bs propaganda caused after those families suffered such horrific losses. But if he’s left with 1 penny I’ll be pissed.

    1. @Jamtommy Seriously? His lies are literally being unraveled before his eyes TO THE ENTIRE WORLD… He literally admits IN COURT that he makes stuff up to entertain his audience, and you still believe his bullshit? How are you not seeing at this point that he is a compulsive liar?

  6. Looking into his eyes and I don’t think this man would even recognize what is and isn’t true.

    1. Oh, I disagree. He’s a con man, and knows how to steal money from the sheep who watch his show. But what happens with these deranged individuals who make so much money off telling lies Over and over is they no longer are capable of telling the truth.

    1. @CCDC A new lawyer could appeal based on ineffective counsel. I’ve heard of it being a tactic used in criminal trials and by the Innocence Project, but those lawyers are usually pro-bono, and I doubt Alex Jones is going to get free legal help here. So, yeah he could appeal, but he would still have to pay both a lawyer and I think whatever judgment is ruled against him, so he may just be out of money. On top of that, that evidence is now out, it’s real, so even if he got a new trial, it’s incredibly unlikely the outcome would be different.

    2. @Dina M and the DOJ is asking for those text messages in regards to the Jan 6 inquiry. So poor Alex has got his hands full with future indictments! Can’t wait for justice to be served on him! In the name of those children and teachers from Sandyhook, he deserves to serve jail time and pay up!! No one is above the law!

    3. @CCDC there is no mistake. It speaks of nothing.

      What part of that is just not sinking in for you?

      The lawyers were required to share those records. There is no grounds for a mistrial. This is exactly how a trial works. There was no mistake.

      Also telling me to relax is very weird and unrelated to anything else written.

    4. @Traci M don’t think you are overreacting just a bit? Or is it because I am a stranger, you can be rude and condescending? Yes, lawyers are required to share records, however Defense attorneys don’t normally share evidence that is incriminating. According to the prosecuting attorney, all of the telephone records were sent in error – only specific records were requested, not the same nature roster. Are you a lawyer? A mistrial can be called if the defence attorneys make viable errors that compromise their client’s case. Please, please, do not respond to this because it’s clear you don’t understand civil law and your are reacting reflexively instead of intelligently. Don’t bother replying because I have already muted you! Enough already!!!

  7. He has his tongue tied when there are actual people to challenge him in real time, and he’s not just talking “insanity” AT a camera.

    1. That’s how all these right-wing nutjobs are. Have you seen Ben Shapiro trying to debate literally anyone?

  8. Imagine losing your 6 your old tragically and then be harrased because of this man, its actually sickening

  9. Weird how all their conspiracy theories fall apart when they’re facing serious consequences in a court of law.

    1. @copingbalduglyethnicmanlet I know that Uvalde was a simulation because it followed the traditional pattern: They announce a simulated shooting or bombing drill, then they continue it days or weeks later (occasionally even a year later). During the drill they use actors and actual law enforcement to pretend that a tragic event has occurred.
      It’s a form of legal logic they use to claim they aren’t lying. By announcing the drill beforehand they consider it legal to continue it, cover it on the news and led the public to think of it as real.
      Uvalde shooting drill was announced on March 21st at the high school and re-continued on May 24rd – the date the public has been led to believe was a real event with actual deaths.

      It’s easy to confirm: Contact the Uvalde public school system or police department and ask them to swear that the shooting on May 24th was NOT a simulation.
      They will not swear that to you.

      For them, it’s all about legality. They can’t lie to you, directly.

  10. This guy has screwed himself a thousand times over. I mean when your lawyer “accidentally” sends the opposing attorney 2 years worth of texts messages showing he knew he was lying, maybe it’s time to settle out of court.

  11. Alex Jones is a wicked, wicked narcissist.
    How could you just go about tearing other peoples’ lives apart and remain so beligerent!

    1. makes you wonder why this kind of people are so successful…I mean are there so many sheep people in the world?

    2. I have often wondered HOW this guy thinks that what those kids and parents went through was not real when we keep seeing it over and over again. I mean this guy is a nut job and people believed him. If only he spent that kind of time and effort HELPING others.

    1. @Psybo the trickster Nothing. He didn’t even say the names of the families or anything and also said he was wrong and apologized like a decade ago. This commentor and many others just need a boogy man to make themselves feel better because they’re the actual evil one. They’re projecting.

  12. Jones is awful but I can’t get my head around the people who watch and act on his verbal diarrhoea and actually think it’s good to threaten the parents of a school shooting victim. In no universe is that a righteous path

    1. He never threatened the parents and its not your choice to make decisions for other people on what they believe or not.

    2. People can do the worst things imaginable, without even bruising their conscience, if you can only make them believe that they are righteous in doing so

  13. Those clips were pretty stunning. That he would even attempt to implicate the *Judge* of his trial…Actually made me gasp out loud. That is SO not something a sane person would EVER do (to say nothing of the rest of his behavior).

    1. By trying to implicate the judge, he is attempting to establish a bias against him. In this way, he could get this declared as a mistrial and get a different judge. The problem is that in a case such as this, this judge is likely being very careful to follow mthe letter of the law as well as her superiors are watching her closely. An appeal is not a guarantee, especially if the upper level courts review everything and see it was all done by the book and it was all legit.

  14. Think of not wanting to believe your child is dead but having to “prove” or argue with people that they are dead… for years and still now.

    1. @Yayo Randel How would you do it Einstein?
      How about just asking the police for their records. Or talking to teachers at the school, or relatives or friends.

    2. @Polar Bear exactly, why were no records, documents showing that prove it happened, because the parents are making the claim with no evidence.
