    So, apparently, the judge in the TX case ruled that the ~$45 million judgment against Jones is exempt from the cap law on a technicality and stated that the law itself is unconstitutional. That really opens up a can of worms because this is going to be appealed (all the way to SCOTUS, I'm sure) and a whole bunch of folks are going to be filing "friend of the court" briefs. You'll have consumer advocacy groups siding with the victims, of course. But the real interesting thing will be who sides with Jones on the subject that the cap is constitutional. Because whoever does is immediately going to get smeared as "supporting Alex Jones." Some companies won't care if they get heat for that or not, but others will.

    It for sure would eliminate Texas from the list of "corporate friendly" venues for forum shopping corporations. :corn:

    Infowars has taken a creepy turn with Alex and Nick Fuentes using Kanye as the Gimp.

    That was a rabbit hole I was not expecting.

    The Knowledge Fight podcast breaks down episodes of Alex Jones' podcast, and from the clips they play of his Nov 1st episode, it sounds like the motherfucker is losing it. In the middle of his show, he starts throwing a temper tantrum about how he can't take the pressure of the job anymore and he's just going to quit. Then he says he's not going to quit, only to say that he is, and then lather, rinse, and repeat for large chunks of the rest of the episode.
