People laughing at this don't seem to realize how perilous this is. Now he can call anyone a member of Antifa. This will be his justification for disappearing more people off the streets and sending them to God knows where.

Be very careful when joking about this!

Alex Jones's bid to SCOTUS to overturn his $1.5 Billion in defamation and punitive damages has come to an end, with the Court rejecting Jones's appeal on First Amendment grounds. Adam Klasfeld joins Popok to put the ruling in a bigger context of a fight that's broken out within the DOJ leadership.

Reading that cretin Alex Jones was put on blast by the conservative Supreme Court and "Dr. Phil" has had to declare bankruptcy on the same day? What an embarrassment of riches! Only one other breaking news story about another odious man would make things better.

Hey Lindsey, do you remember when Eddie Walker wanted to make a public access news and politics talk show like Alex Jones's public access show? I think it was you he had come over to record. I refused to go on camera. No way was I doing something like that for posterity.
