Justice was served.
Jury awards nearly $1 billion to Sandy Hook families in Alex Jones case I'm searching for comments on this case. My gut reaction, upon hearing the verdict was the title of this thread. Spreading lies attracts flies."A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** “…far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.”- Dr.John Lennox “A God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross.” “The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” — Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You

The Jury is no longer out.
CNN writes: A jury in Connecticut decided that the right-wing conspiracy theorist should pay eight families of Sandy Hook shooting victims and a first responder a staggering $965 million. (...) While Jones may face a reckoning, nearly a decade after his heinous lie about the Sandy Hook shooting, the corrosive blueprint that catapulted him to fame and fortune on the political right is here to stay. It is impossible to unwind. Comments? My personal opinion is that though Jones was somewhat entertaining in a National Enquirer sort of way, he crossed the line when using families who suffered heartrending losses from which they will never recover to make money on InfoWars. Jesus is likely not pleased with him at all. It will be interesting to watch the reaction from his side. If he thinks that he will ultimately make money from the publicity, he had better repent before he winds up in hell."A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** “…far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.”- Dr.John Lennox “A God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross.” “The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” — Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You

He is just some goober to me. I sized him up fairly accurately the first time I heard him.

Another public spectacle that I heard about was Conservative Black Rapper/Artist Kanye West and Tucker Carlson, your favorite!
Kanye is fascinating because he is conservative and a crazy genius. Tucker can kiss my grits, however."A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** “…far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.”- Dr.John Lennox “A God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross.” “The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” — Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You |

The old codger will get blamed for the next great economic recession/depression, which will hit within a year. He just isn't bright enough.

NosyNed writes: I'll agree with you here. Trump is certainly not my choice over Biden. He is indeed *worse* of a senility case than is Joe. Biden isn't showing any (or very, very few) signs of his age from a mental point. Trump on the other hand seems much more confused than my father was at 85. It's silly to diagnose anything from watching him on TV but it seems to me that a serious degree of mental deterioration is one explanation for the bananas things he says every time he opens his mouth. My point, however, is that Joe is a bit too old to manage the complex geopolitical issues that this era requires. Honestly, though...I see few bright political heirs on the horizon. I would entertain DeSantis if he divorced himself from Trump.

ringo writes: Don't I have a right to an opinion? The peanut gallery around here is in lockstep politically and wouldn't dare denigrate their prodigies in any way of course. Some people are predicting a MILD recession within a year. And you have the GALL to call yourself a moderate when you call Biden an "old codger" and you call Kamala Harris and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez "harpies"? I think that America needs to step back and fix itself before it attempts geopolitical alliances, but that's just my opinion. We made a big mistake when we took our priorities away from oil and gas. It is too soon to make the switch. There is no way that 90% of our population could even afford an electric car. How are people supposed to get to work in the meantime? And draining the strategic petroleum reserve is not a solution.

Taq writes: Agreed. But I think the Federal Reserve has no firm grip on solutions. They are basically experimenting.
I think it is unfair to blame any president for normal business cycles of recessions and booms. These cycles are actually healthy for the economy. All we ask is that they don't make the cycles worse than they need to be. Theodoric writes: Excessive QT (Quantitative tightening) will overcorrect and plunge us into a recession. I don't have to "prove it" to you since economists never agree anyway. Watch 2023 unfold.
What is pointing to a recession/depression? xongsmith writes: It is ignorant to assume that only one political party is truthful and has our best interests at heart while the other guys are spawns of satan.
quit swallowing the right-wing shit.period. you are flaunting your ignorance.

xongsmith writes: Let's discuss this irrational extremism in detail. I have to go to work now, as my grocery store was purchased by the cross-town rival, and thanks to our Democratic State Attorney General, Phil Weiser, the deal is being investigated. Frontpage news. Honestly, I cannot fathom how a brain grew up to vote Republican! They should be exterminated! I'm pro-Democrat when my job is on the line! Denver Post discusses it here on the front page:
