You're a very sick man, and I have no doubt it's something you're very proud of.

A ****ing BILLION? The guy's toast!

News Alert: Jury decides conspiracy theorist Alex Jones should pay nearly $1 billion in damages to Sandy Hook families for his lies about the school massacre

Far-right talk show host Alex Jones should pay eight families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims and one first responder nearly $1 billion in compensatory damages, a Connecticut jury decided Wednesday, capping a wrenching weeks-long trial that put on display the serious harm inflicted by the conspiracy theorist’s lies.

With its punishing award, the decision could shrink or even doom Jones’ Infowars media empire, which has been at the center of major conspiracy theories dating back to former President George W. Bush’s administration and was embraced by President Donald Trump.

The decision marks a key moment in the years-long process that began in 2018 when the families took legal action against Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems, the parent of the fringe media organization Infowars.

In case somebody missed this hilarious detail: One of the many reasons Alex Jones got ****ed was that his lawyers accidentally sent his phone to the opposing team.
Here's a good breakdown:

Yes, I remember that little gem, grindy

Pity the lawyer who then had to ask Alex Jones, "...and can I have my fees now, please?"

Best part is that the lawyer could have just said "Oops, that's actually privileged" and it would have been inadmissable, but he just kinda didn't for no apparent reason.
