That's only a tiny fraction of Jones' fortune, however. I heard that InfoWars was getting something like $800,000 a DAY!
So literally hundreds of thousands of people are buying his fake scam crap on a daily basis? Wow. Americans are even dumber than I thought.
shareNo need to insult my country, WTF was that?
Are you suggesting the U.S. has no value?
As an American I don’t know a single person that takes this guy seriously or buys his Ramen Noodle buckets.
But you foreign ingrates can feel free to despise my country, when you limp dicks have another stupid war or a national disaster I say the ENTIRE U.S of A. is on vacation in Lake George that week and the phone is off!
Maybe we’ll send you ungrateful animals some shovels to bury your dead:)
Not a penny more bigmouth.
Jesus Christ.
Maybe we’ll send you ungrateful animals some shovels to bury your dead:)
The ARE a whole lot of dumb Americans supporting Alex Jones! As an American I am embarrassed by the amount of uneducated, racists and misogynists in this country.
I have not met a single American that supports Alex Jones, he’s widely regarded as a dumb fuckhead here.
You seem to hang out with a bunch of dumb shits…well deserved company and that makes sense I suppose.
We are sending you three shovels, bury each other very deep.
Sorry for getting carried away. I love America. But this buffoon makes my blood boil.
shareNo worries Amigo, he is a disgusting person, I quite agree.
Twenty couples lost 6 and 7 year old babies and this piece of garbage throws shade at them?
His head seems in need of a few well aimed bricks.
I applaud you. You are the rare person on MovieChat to reconsider something you wrote after thinking about it further. And you did it without running away from your original post. You have demonstrated credibility here.
shareFair point if I may cut in👍
shareNo one stops the Shogun cutting in
shareApologies
I chat a lot, no offense intended…The local Priest told me I was real mouthy when I was a kid and he might have been right.
No no, I wasn’t offended. I was joking around: You’re the Shogun of MovieChat. You have 56k posts. You can cut in wherever the hell you please as far as I’m concerned. You’re up there with Hownos in my book. It’s all good.
shareWell thank you. But nobody is hownos’ level but I felt quite complimented by that🤓
share"how dare you insult my country!"
proceeds to say the most disgusting sterotypical American things.
who were you saving in Iraq? 300k-1 million dead civilians. thank got you freedomed those citizens! they may have been alive if not.
your history is stained. a large part of your wealth and power came from war profiteers in ww2 and the blood of dead europeans. you made money off both sides before entering. and made literally trillions.
wow how noble.
Cry more, it’s sort of amusing😄
sharethe only one who cried was you. when someone offered mild criticism you said "Maybe we’ll send you ungrateful animals some shovels to bury your dead:)
Not a penny more bigmouth."
everything ive said is a fact. if you cant take even the mildest criticism of your own country you have an issue. which isnt my issue, its yours. but nice little cop out. you couldn't address anything I wrote
"Ramen Noodle buckets."
I don't know anything about Alex Jones, apparently he's a blowhard who has a show somewhere...
He also peddles ramen?
I don't understand why its illegal for Jones to shit talk...
This is just ridiculous.
No one has ever taken him seriously... and those that do, deserve to be misinformed.
It's not illegal, this was a defamation case. Let's ask those parents how they feel when some asshole is spreading lies to weak minded people that their children weren't murdered. They have ever right to sue and I'm glad that piece of shit lost.
shareThe preacher tells people their children will suffer eternal damnation for not worshipping their god... no one sues the church for lies.
shareNo one sues the preacher, because the parents are allowing it and the people sitting in the church are doing it on their own. I really don't understand the comparison of people willingly sitting in a church listening to lies, to parents having to listen to a lying hack saying that their children were never murdered.
Alex Jones turns weak minded people's brains into mush.
Politicians are career liars and their actions kill millions (eg. weapons of mass destruction). Alex Jones is some low hanging fruit in grand scheme of professional bull shitters.
shareOh good, first we're comparing fat ass to priests now we're comparing him to politicians. I guess sooner or later your opinion might come true. A broken clock is right twice a day.
shareFrom everything I've heard about Alex Jones, he sounds like a turd, but I really don't understand the basis of the lawsuit.
Jones goes on his radio show and says "nothing happened at Sandy Hook, no one was killed or injured, or if something did happen, that was a conspiracy among certain government agents, for the purpose of taking away your guns, etc."
I suppose, if he got specific enough, like "Mike Brady says he had a son who was shot and killed at Sandy Hook, and none of that is true, Mike Brady is a liar." But even then, it sounds like only lunatics would believe what Jones says, so 99% of the people believe that Mike Brady is a decent man.
I've read people argue about the emotional distress, maybe if Jones went to Mike's home, or Mike's office, or at Starbucks with Mike, and Jones tells Mike every time he sees him that Mike didn't have a son who was killed at Sandy Hook... but just saying that shit into a microphone... I don't see the case...
People are free to say what they want, they just aren't free from the consequences of what they say.
shareSome people did take him seriously and were harassing the parents.
Can we assume that compassion and empathy aren't your strong traits, based on your remarks?
I haven't foolowed this.
He denies it happened.
Ok.
Obviously that is wrong.
Ok.
He is a nut.
How does having a crazy opinion mean you pay 50 million dollars?
He is crazy.
Ignore him.
