And let’s not forget the POTUS has been on Jones’ show and complimented him.

They’ll never admit it out loud, no, they never do. Instead they start tuning them out, finding some other source for “news”, or something else to do when he’s on.

The Verdict was just on recently, great movie; the jury foreman asked this question as part of the climax.

It was all done by “Clear Channel Communications” now called iHeartRadio a company founded by Lowry Mays and B. J. “Red” McCombs (yes, the former owner of the Minnesota Vikings) in 1972, and later taken private by Bain Capital, LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners through a leveraged buyout in 2008. As a result of this buyout, Clear Channel Communications, Inc. began to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of CC Media Holdings, Inc. On September 16, 2014, CC Media Holdings, Inc. was rebranded iHeartMedia, Inc.; and Clear Channel Communications, Inc., became iHeartCommunications, Inc. It now owns, operates, programs, or sells airtime for nearly 1,200 radio stations and it also has equity interests in 240 international stations.
On March 14 and 15, 2018, the company and various affiliated companies filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and claimed to have a proposed agreement to restructure $10 billion of its over $20 billion debt load (thanks to the leveraged buyout by Bain Capital LLC, the company owned partially by Mitt Romney.)

As important as cutting off a gangrenous limb. Allowing these abominations to fester will lead to the death of our democracy.
You need to be careful. A couple of you guys on here are getting WAY too good at channeling the batsht crazy…‘trnc’ is thinking about becoming a ‘wingnut profiler’!

"Find a safe and more descriptive term like “fucking lies.”
We got a preview of his disgusting self during the recent custody hearing with testimony from his ex-wife. Best outcome: Jones admitted, for the record, that his whole hysterical conspiracy-theory rant-fest is just an act.

Even if Sue Alex Jones [who knew he was a boy named Sue?] claims ignorance, isn’t there a standard of reckless disregard for the truth? I’m asking the lawyers among us.
I wonder if Jones is covered under some kind of blanket libel insurance policy paid for by the radio station.
If not, he’ll be paying for his legal defense out of pocket. I can’t imagine any underwriter taking on this risk.
His libels are so egregious, he could never prove them. Any attorneys, whether his own of those paid by an insurance co would recommend either a settlement or retraction.
I do hope TPM stays on this one.

I see you forgot to include @mattinpa’s suspected cheese-eating and surrender-monkeying.

This interests me. I tend to scoff at alarmist ideas about a civil war in this country. But you do have a wingnut subculture that believes the wildest, most implausible things, things so absurd and obnoxious that they aren’t tolerable in the more rational mainstream world. Laura Ingraham says something obnoxious about David Hogg, he simply points to her advertiser list, and an outraged public makes them go poof. Jones rants away in his bubble, saying God knows what craziness every day, and suddenly he has a seriously problematic lawsuit on his hands. It may be, as we learned just yesterday, that Sean Hannity is pushing Kremlin propaganda. The wingnut world and the mainstream world are getting to where they may not be able to coexist. What next? It’s interesting.
Whatchoo talkin’?

No. First, advocating prison rape is flat-out wrong. Second, why do you want to punish some ordinary criminal by putting them in with a dangerous, manipulative psychopath?
