Love to see it…

I saw someone else say that he has been coughing persistently through everyone else’s testimonies and then when it was his turn to testify he did so without a single cough for nearly 40 minutes.

haven't been following this trial so not clued up, so forgive my ignorance. I seen this fella on a Rogan podcast and Rogan openly said to him a few times he got it wrong about Sandy Hook, and Jones didn't reply to that. Does that mean he acknowledges he was wrong, has he publicly said that or is still claiming it was a hoax.

Watching this on delay during lunch and this is fascinating. Jones is a guy who thinks he is the smartest guy in the room and can talk his way out of anything. Well he's not and the judge will not let him pontificate and he is looking like a complete mental case. Amazing.

I hope they take him for every penny he has ever made and more.

Wow! That's an awful lot of testosterone pills being sold!

On a serious note, I hate how shell companies can be used to just move money around between subsidiaries so they don't have to pay creditors. I don't know how people can do that for a living and not be ashamed.

Interesting to see some hard financial evidence of deplatforming being counter-productive.
I don't think you can draw that conclusion from those facts, without knowing what the alternative would look like.

And I'm all out of bubblegum.
Yeah, true. At the very least it shows deplatforming not having the desired effect. I don’t see how his business can increase in revenue without more people being exposed to his ideas.
Easy. Better monetization, more committed viewers, wealthier viewers, etc. It might show deplatforming not having the desired effect, or it might not. I don't see how it's possible that Jones would reach more people off YouTube than on it.

I have been very open on my stances of violence and wishing death on people, but after watching his testimony today this motherfecker is reallllllllllly testing my moral compass.

people like jones thrive on the semblance of conspiracy so deplatforming him will absolutely have no effect on those already predisposed to liking or engaging with his content. all he has to say is "look, they're trying to shut me up" which would jibe well with the brand he's already cultivated.

Yeah, that’s what I figured. Plus I can imagine people who’d never been interested in him before deciding to check him out to see what the fuss is about.

I don’t always get aroused by the written word, but when I do, it’s when Alex Jones lawyers send Sandy Hook parents lawyers a digital copy of all of his emails and texts by mistake

Alex Jones’ texts / emails will be everything the republicans hoped Hunter Biden’s are…

Heard rumours the aim was to try and get a mistrial so he doesn't lose his cash.

The fact Rogan platformed this ghoul this enough to never listen to that Onnit Moron again.

Spoke to a prosecutor buddy of mine about this last night. He said as long as the defense was notified of what they did and had a chance to remedy it, then the prosecution can use it. According to what the attorney for Sandy Hook said, he gave Jones’ attorneys that opportunity and they didn’t act on it.

This is really odd, why would they let this out when it shows he lied? Something smells.
