Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls Alex Jones’ Sandy Hook Awards ‘Attack on Free Speech’


After a Sandy Hook jury announced a nearly $1 billion award against InfoWars’ Alex Jones in a civil trial in Connecticut, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took to Twitter to rage against the decision, suggesting that the trial is a “violation of his First Amendment rights.”  The jury found Jones used his InfoWars show to repeatedly portray the 2012 school shooting as a “false flag operation staged by the government,” a claim which led his supporters to stalk, harass, and threaten parents of the slain students for years to come.

My, my!  Now, we all know what a prolific legislator Rep. Greene is. Perhaps the good congresswoman should consider introducing legislation to “eliminate all liable laws?”  That said, I do understand the point she’s making, which is basically this - it’s time all this accountability crap comes to an end.  No conservative should ever be held responsible for what they say.  Hell, if a fella like Jones can get sued over a few vicious lies about murdered children and their grieving parents, then next thing you know - conservatives could be forced to start telling the truth about everything.  That could spell the end of the Republican Party as we know it.  If you don’t believe me, just ask Mitch McConnell.

Putting all of that aside though, I still can’t help but wonder - could this actually be the very same Marjorie Taylor Greene who once threatened the Huffington Post with “Your freedom of press is not freedom to lie about me.”  Strange how feelings can change so dramatically under different circumstances and with different players.  The funny thing is, her good pal Donald Trump sues almost everyone who disagrees with him.  Now, I know some of you are gonna say “Hey, go easy on Marjorie Taylor Greene.  After all, she ate a helluva lot of lead paint when she was a young girl.”  Well, as they say, then maybe its time “she gets the lead out of it!”

Anyway, the way I see it, the lesson here for Mr. Jones and his InfoWars sycophants is - speech is still free, it’s just those “friggin’ lies” that are going to cost you.  Guess it’s goodbye to all those fancy cars, bigass mansions, and megayachts.  You see, it seems this Sandy Hook jury has a right to free speech also, and they’ve chosen just one simple word - “Guilty!”  Poor Alex!  Hey, I’ve got an idea for Mr. Jones.  Why not ask Elon Musk to bail you out of this mess?  After all, he’s become such a “Free-Speech” advocate, that he’s buying Twitter.  What’s a billion or so to a guy like him?

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War:  In a fiery speech, arguing that impeachment would disenfranchise Donald Trump’s supporters, defense lawyer David Schoen is being harshly criticized for his thinly veiled threat - warning that impeaching the former president could very well result in even more violence from Donald Trump’s easily enraged base. So, if I understand Schoen’s argument correctly, it sounds as if he’s implying that “if you bring Trump to trial, then that angry, violent mob who attacked the Capitol, wanting to hang Vice President Pence and kill various members of Congress, might get really, really mad again - and there will be reprisals.”   You know, we’re talking stuff like ”Nice country you have here - be a damn shame if something were to happen to it!”  In other words, Schoen’s trying to incite violence, in defense of a man who’s facing trial - over inciting violence.  They don’t teach you that in law school.   Now, is it jus...

Trump Returns to Do White House Coronavirus Briefings Solo

Trump Returns to Do White House Coronavirus Briefings Solo:  Three months after he abandoned the daily virus briefings and attempted to turn the country’s attention to what he described as the “great American comeback,” President Trump took the lectern in the White House briefing room alone on Tuesday, free to say whatever he wanted without any distractions from the usual bunch “sciencey nerds” behind him. And, in a rare moment of candor, Trump reluctantly admitted that the spread of the coronavirus will likely get worse before it gets better, and that people should probably wear masks.  Well said Mr President!  The fact is, most of us are already rather optimistic things will begin to get better - sometime after November 3rd. Ironically, now that Trump is finally admitting the virus is spreading fast and that people should wear masks, you’d think most of those armed militia thugs, whom Trump egged on to to out and “liberate” those Democratic run states from t...

Scientists Monitoring Near-Earth Asteroid 99942 Apophis

Scientists Monitoring Near-Earth Asteroid 99942 Apophis:   Scientists meeting this week at the 2019 Planetary Defense Conference, say they’re monitoring the 99942 Apophis asteroid which will be coming within 20,000 miles (33,000 kilometers) of the Earth’s surface in just 10 years.  The thing is, by the year 2029, Trump will likely be settling into his 4th term - so if an asteroid suddenly threatens to destroy the Earth, my guess is that after 16 years of Trump, no one will really much care. https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com  Oldest Human Footprint Found in the Americas Confirmed in Chile:   Researchers say a 15,600-year old footprint discovered by a student in southern Chile is believed to be the oldest human footprint ever found in the Americas.  Oddly enough, scientists say the footprint appears to be that of someone wearing size 12 Bruno Magli shoes, but because it’s from well over 15K years ago - they’re rather doubtful it has any connection to t...
