@Maura_resister @wurzbacher Unfortunately that does not mean much. The families only got a limited relief to let the case go to an appeal. Once Jones filed all other cases had to stop. Judge Lopez’s order lets the judgment become final and Jones appeal - it doesn’t (yet) mean the families can collect on any judgment.

It’s likely they will be able to collect eventually, but that may be years down the road and involve even more litigation. The gears of justice move very slowly.

@jayreding @wurzbacher
It is better than him being permitted to bankrupt the judgment and them never being able to collect anything

Excellent. Another step. Damn there are a lot of steps. But, I’m keeping faith that eventually, a step will finally ruin him.

@Maura_resister Fun fact: Alex Jones is only 48 years old.

@Maura_resister That is a face that needs a fist in it. (Sorry for the reference to violence, but there’s just something about Alex Jones…)

@Maura_resister maybe the pendulum that has swung so far from normal these past 4+ years is starting to make its way back to the center! 🤞

Quokka 🇦🇺Dec 20, 2022

@Maura_resister That's great. Question though.... Where did he amass his fortune from? Are there really enough people that will pay him money to listen to his vile, abhorrent ramblings? Or he do something else as well?

#AlexJones has advertisers that pay millions per week. His weekly ad revenue sounds like the budget of a small country. He's also written books (I know, it's shocking to think that many #MAGAs can read) which have made a lot of money. He also sells a lot of paraphernalia for his show.

But mostly, he sells snake oil, in the form of diet pills.

Scammers gotta scam, I guess.

I'm surprised Elmo hasn't grabbed any of Jones advertisers since it's clear they have no ethics

Hopefully he's not lurking on here. Let's not give him any ideas!

But yes... I'm honestly surprised also. That or the people backing #TruthSocial . (We all know grifter Don isn't paying for anything, he never has. Someone is propping it up financially.)
