    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
