Still struggling to understand the actual damages here. How would this be different than a holocaust denier? Or a 9/11 truther?

I don't like Jones. I have made that clear over the years. I just don’t remember articles like this or the left caring to much about slander during Trump's tenure. Or any other time the MSM slanders and lies about their political opponents. If they had I would take articles like this more serious. Until then I will continue to laugh at the fact they took Jones serious and viewed him as a real threat to their agenda.

It's like getting upset a the View. I don't. It's not serious opinions.

 

[moe]

Dominion approves. If justice and karma follow through, you just have to love lying losers writing big checks. Why is it so hard for conservatives to tell the truth?

It’s the parents of the kids that are suing Jones for defamation of character. Has nothing to do with “the left.” Maybe read the article.

Alex Jones lied and said Sandy Hook never happened….he called the parents crisis actors…the followers of Alex Jones believe everything thing he said, so they started threatening the parents.

it’s in hoppy’s article.

So a “media” personality took an absurd position on a topic? To Gunny’s point, how is this any different than the view with some of their ******** takes? Jones isn’t liable for what his fans do. That’s just absurd.

I’m not a fan of his and really don’t care either way what happens, it just doesn’t make any sense to me at all.

I'm not weeping at all. I'm ready for whatever comes along, especially since my solar panels are starting operation this week. Are you?

Here’s my litmus test of the Inflation Acceleration Act. If it pushes the ROI timeline down to say, 5 years, for installation of solar, then I’ll make the switch. As long as it’s still at 15 years, I’ve got zero desire.

It’s about the money, plain and simple. It either makes economic sense, or it doesn’t.

Should be deductible in 3 years

It is worth the cost to me to stop losing power on occasion, being in the middle of nowhere.

My only landlines will be power and internet. Power currently runs AC/heat, except I could use inside units. 6 chickens are giving me eggs, 2 freezers will be full by the new year, and next year the garden will be fully functional(I have all the seeds I need now). As well as my side gig should be up and running then... moonshining. I can walk to a pond to fish a crap-ton of crappie in the spring. I am close to homesteading it.

He LIED about the individual people (ex. parents being "fake" and their dead kids being "fake"). Same as if I write/say that someone raped someone and they didn't.......they can file a defamation lawsuit.

Not sure how this is hard for you to understand or grasp.

The Parents didn't write the article. Try to keep up. I don't have a problem with jury awarding the families. It's the system we have. I have a problem with the hypocrisy of the MSM and the left.

When do politicians pay for their lies?

What's a Hoppy???

 

[polar80]

Don't know Alex Jones, never heard or read about him. And am very comfortable in that fact.

So again, how is this different than holocaust denial and 9/11 truthing?

It's like watching MSNBC, CNN, or the View. Conspiracy theroies and nonsense. Funny thing he might actually tell the truth more. So that makes the reality of those networks even more pathetic. Same people cheering thing Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, and Joe Scarborough are credible.

I didn’t know MSNBC, CNN or Joe Scarborough were propagating QAnon conspiracy theories or conspiracies about Sandy Hook, or the big lie about the election being stolen, Or that the dominion voting machines were rigged. Ask Fox News and Rudy Giuliani about the consequences of making those statements.

 

[Gunny46]

It's not. You make a good point. People have probably sued. It comes down the jury. Would have to dig into it to see if anyone has been awarded anything for those two in the past. Probably not to many. Defamation cases are hard to win in what I have researched.

Do you have a Qpub drop on Sandy Hook. Not a fake twitter account. An actual original post. Don't remember seeing one. Please provide one if you got it.

As far as the idiots above telling lies. There is thousands of examples posted on this very site.

Looks like I'm not missing a thing. Caves are a really good thing.

McCarthy may have been a drunk but it doesn't mean he didn't get a few things right.

Laugh all you want.

I either survive whatever torment this government has coming our way, or...

The moonshine biz takes off, I purchase the 100 acres of land near me, and have the home of my dreams.

I'm ready for whatever comes my way.

None formally, but if my neighbors up the street start popping off, I'll have their backs.

Lower prescription drug prices are coming your way. Is that a bad thing?

 

[TarHeelEer]

Lower prescription drug prices are coming your way. Is that a bad thing?

Not my way. Medicare will lowball the price, cutting into supplier's profit, which they'll then take out on private insurance. That's another tax added to the middle class.

Is almost another trillion $ in spending a bad thing?
