True, though his way of doing politics was to declare himself Emperor and call it a day, thus obviating the need for politics in general!
I can see the tie-in with Trump in that method.
Though I can’t see Trump winning at Austerlitz.

Local man living in second most arid state in the country smells a conspiracy!

Just a dumb comment I saw on a local board. Yes, we’re not actually in a historic drought, it’s the next Big Lie! Maybe it’s transgender Democrat mermaids siphoning water away from the reservoirs?
Well…

An actual transgender mermaid! No water siphoning though, just fun in the sun. But I think our poster there, “mountainair,” probably would be terrified.
Alex Jones has learned his lesson.
“Oh dear, I accidentally sent all the incriminating texts of my awful excuse of a human being client to the plaintiffs’ lawyers.”

Isn’t there some sort of threshold for a mistrial due to incompetent representation? Maybe that’s what they’re going for.
I wonder if that would even apply in the damages phase of the trial?
At least some of these texts were supposed to have been disclosed though. Jones committed perjury claiming there were no relevant texts and he never used email.

Given that it’s a civil case, most lawyers are saying no.
Jones could sue his lawyer afterwards, but there is no exit for your lawyer being incompetent like there could be in a criminal case.

Aren’t lawyers required to supply any information requested of them by the judge or by a pre-trial order? If they don’t they can be held in contempt or worse?

I would think that the lawyer themselves wouldn’t be on board with this kind of plan, as it would likely have bad consequences for them, personally.
You would think so. This lawyer seems to be in some trouble. He clearly withheld documents relevant to discovery and not claimed as privileged, and he didn’t turn them over, until he accidentally did.
Jones testified on Wednesday that InfoWars regularly brought in as much as $200,000 a day, and that it grossed as much as $800,000 a day at times. The exchange came after Bankston mentioned Jones’ claims that his income had virtually disappeared in recent years.
Being a bullshit artist is VERY lucrative.
