Jones' lawyers had warned in the filing last week that if the case was not put on hold, “InfoWars will have been acquired by its ideological nemesis and destroyed."

Yeah? And? That would be bad for YOU I guess, but that's not a legal argument. The trial is over and the judgement has already been made.

Last week he urged the court to urgently intervene, saying that if the court did not take action, his website, Infowars, was at risk of being turned over to the satirical news site The Onion.

The proposed acquisition would be used to help fund payments to family members of the Sandy Hook victims.

Jones' lawyers had warned in the filing last week that if the case was not put on hold, “InfoWars will have been acquired by its ideological nemesis and destroyed."

Ideological nemesis? Really? Infowars has always been a joke. Under The Onion at least it'll also be funny.

I'd like to see them turn it into just absolutely stupid conspiracy theories. Like: otters can understand Farsi, and Billie Eilish is actually list a bunch of eyelids, shit like that.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

They're both satire sites but only one is presented as such

[–] greasewizard@slrpnk.net 72 points 1 day ago (2 children)

fuck Alex Jones.

I wish nothing but the worst for him

[–] djdarren@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wish him a lifetime of always being two good wipes away from clean.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Basically everything from Tear Your Dress - Bag of Toys

But also, people like Jones tend to not wipe because they think it's gay.

careful, this is a borderline thought crime

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

He's not dead yet, so i guess it's ok? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Alex Jones and his lawyers were repeatedly warned that if they did not participate they would receive a default judgement.

From a contemporary article:

Connecticut Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis cited the defendants' "willful noncompliance" with the discovery process as the reasoning behind the ruling. Bellis noted that defendants failed to turned over financial and analytics data that were requested multiple times by the Sandy Hook family plaintiffs.

It was so much fun fucking around, Alex, but the time has come to find out.

But Trump's $500m judgment for committing multiple acts of fraud was "excessive". 😮‍💨

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago

Are we done fucking around? Can we finally move on to 'find out'?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

While I'm glad this shitstain loser troll fuck is getting at least a fraction of what's been coming to him, I have to acknowledge that the shitstain loser troll fuck that's in the Oval Office is flourishing, along with all the other shitstain loser troll fucks in his administration and party.

We're not even close to real justice in this shithole.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago

his case didn't deserve supreme court time

[–] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago

How many times does he get to try this?

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why aren’t they using a recent picture of him with his new Hitler mustache?

[–] Lupus@feddit.org 10 points 1 day ago

He just had it a couple of hours in a desperate attempt for attention. Also he is bored.

[–] CompostMaterial@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

Finally, some uplifting news.

[–] very_well_lost@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Sucks to suck, AJ

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Facing the consequences of my actions is illegal!

Right?

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Well he's a WARRIOR OF GOD fighting THE ARMIES OF SATAN. This isn't supposed to happen to him.

[–] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Hey. At least Knowledge Fight's content is awesome right now. If you want a digestible way to witness the slow sad destruction of a pathetic white supremacist and his cadre of asshats, tune in.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah I'm looking forward to their episode covering AJs reaction to this lol

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Yep. He's going to blow a fuckin' gasket!

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Their recent Tucker Carlson episode is one of the most bleak things I've ever heard.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

You love to see it.
