It’s maddening that they even had to ask. Our legal system sucks.
Edit:
On Saturday, Jones was defiant, saying “At the end of the day, we’re going to beat these people. I’m not trying to be dramatic here, but it’s been a hard fight. These people hate our children.”
I can’t even.
Yes because he's the epitome of a children's advocate
Ugh he reproduced?
Yes, but he's lost custody of his children to his first wife.
Fun fact- he couldn't remember details about his children in the hearing, and attributed that memory lapse to, and I shit you not, the fact that he had a "big bowl of chili for lunch."
That needs to become more widely known, both as a story and as a legal tactic: The Chili Defense
Brings a new meaning to “Red Alert”
If they eat chili, convicting is silly!
The man is half actually crazy and half faking crazy. Statements like that make no sense for a grift. Why not just say you're stressed?
At the time, his lawyer argued that Jones is just a performance artist. But honestly, I think it's much more likely he's a paranoid schizophrenic. He just wholesale invents reality to be whatever he wants it to be when it's convenient for him and his grift. I honestly think he doesn't have a grasp on objective reality any longer.
Don’t put that image in my head. Nooooooooooooooo!
Hiya cum face:
Damn... You a special kind of evil
I hope they take everything from him. I hope they take his fucking toothbrush. He should be left destitute and alone in a fucking hole in the ground.
I don't want that. I want him to have safe and secure housing, with no food insecurity, medical care, and plenty of hygiene supplies.
And I want him to realize, every fucking day, that it's because the people he attacked and villianized are better than him.
I can appreciate your intent, but some people are beyond saving. This is one of them.

I want that too. But, since that's clearly never gonna happen as evidenced by the fact that he's sniveling about how unfair everyone's being toward him during the last of his shows, I'll settle for the first thing.
Nah. He's an asshole and wouldn't care. He'd call them suckers. I'd like to see this guy working at mcdonalds while living out of his car.
He will never realize that
No, do not let him loose again. Lock him up in a prison so he can't hurt anyone else, and ban him from social media.
I mean, I didn't say he should be free to mix with civilized people, let's do some prison reform while we're here.
Trash like him will never realize that. No narc ever appreciates the compassion of others. They just take them for granted.
you're a better person.
I want him to fucking suffer.
He's already working to try to hide assets and move things to his (dentist) dad's brand new supplement company.
[Alex Jones] also listed his living expenses at about $69,000 for April alone
Goddamn, dude. Stop ordering DoorDash.
He's fucking got house staff that takes care of his properties and his family.
How in the fuck does someone even spend that much a month?! Even in some crazy scenario where me and my wife eat out every single night I can only get to like $2300 monthly for restaurants. Throw another $5k (high) for mortgage, grocery, bills, etc doesn't put me anywhere close. Hell, if you stayed at a hotel for 30 nights at even $200 a night that's only $6k. Lots of hookers and drugs?
I did a little digging - here’s something reported to the court:
“His July spending included $7,900 on housekeeping, $15,184 in prenuptial payments to his wife, $6,302 in maintenance and taxes for his vacation lake house, and $6,338 on meals and entertainment, according to court papers.”
Dude needs to get YNAB… or just cut back on the avocado toast.
The lake house and lavish entertainment budget need to be given to the victims of his despicable conduct tho.
Yup, and once those are sold he can keep giving the $6K monthly payments going to them. Sounds like he needs a $200 vacuum cleaner too, then he’s got another $7k to send the victims.
Edit: flipped the numbers.
The majority is going toward his prenup. Good on his now ex-wife and her attorney.
You're not thinking big enough.
I'm not saying it's wise or prudent, but it's definitely possible to get there if you are behaving like a rich person.
This guy's veins are at 1,000 PSI from all the cocaine he's snorting, that's one large expense you don't have.
He's trying to either get and hide or waste as much of his money as possible so that other people can't have it. He's already tried a ton of shady shit in the bankruptcy hearing (including somehow getting a massive bill from one of his father's shell companies), so it wouldn't surprise me if he's pulling shit like that.
The most I can manage is a mean of $10k/mo.
IT'S ALL THE BRAIN FORCE X-PLUS EXTREME SILVER WITH FISH OIL, BABY!
You made me read that in his voice using nothing but all-caps
$5k a month right now is like a $900,000 house, which is a lot for the vast majority of people, but very low for rich people.
Shoulda been done at the start
One can hope
Just gonna drop a bright spot on you today: if you don't, listen to Knowledge Fight on your podcast app of choice. I'm sure this + Alex's weekend broadcast are gonna make this week's episodes spicy.
Also, if you're already familiar with KF, I wanna plug Kudos who does little animated shorts from various KF episodes.
I've never heard of Kudos before and I can't thank you enough.
And the KF coverage of this past weekend is incredible. You know things went nuts when the episode is 3 hours, 45 minutes long.
You're welcome!
I first heard about him about a month ago or so, and I absolutely love the "Two Shitty Metaphors" bit!
100% take these morons down
I'm wiling to pay 100 bucks for his subscriber list. Does anyone know anything about fund raising for cult reprogramming?
Liquidation meaning sell all the office furniture, or make him an employee of his own business that got sold to the highest bidder with his wages garnished?
Closing down the business entirely, selling off all it's assets, with claimants and creditors getting first dibs on cash.
with claimants and creditors getting first dibs on cash.
And with any luck, Jones' parents wont get a cent of it before the lawsuit is paid out.
But, who will tell Robert Barnes, "good job"? Who will feed Owen Shroyer? Who will help David Knight back to bed? Who will change Buckley's diaper? Who will feed LeeAnn McAdoo's addiction to being sexually harassed in not-so-subtle and sweaty ways by a greasy human christmas ham?
If you ever go to the SXSW Comedy Festival, go shake Charlie Sotelo's hand.
