In Baghdad, supporters of the populist Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr have stormed the parliament building, in protest at the failure to form a government after Iraqi elections last October.

I think watching the video footage of Hussein's hanging when I was in sixth grade was the first time I realized how brutal war actually was.

Alex Jones' legal troubles have been a ****ing roller coaster but this was insane. Jones might actually do time for perjury in the greatest own goal in legal history.

I've only read some of the things he's said on air. Everyone has a right to an opinion, and he takes full advantage.

Thought he was getting away with a mere 4 million....

News Alert: A jury finds Infowars conspiracy theorist Alex Jones must pay $45.2 million in punitive damages to the parents of a Sandy Hook shooting victim


A Texas jury has decided to penalize Alex Jones with $45.2 million in punitive damages in a lawsuit filed by the parents of Sandy Hook shooting victim Jesse Lewis.

The award, which the judge could reduce, came one day after the jury settled on $4.1 million in compensatory damages.

The judge doesn't seem too impressed by Alex's perjuries so here's hoping she doesn't reduce it. And this is the first of I believe three Sandy Hook cases breathing down his neck so here's hoping he gets cleaned out. ****ing loser.
