1. He's loosing his ever lovin mind. And that's a good thing. I look forward to some day soon ...

... when I drive on 35 between Austin and San Antonio, seeing him working at a used trailer house lot.

4. I'd personally rather he and Trump host a MAGA rally in prison.

2. He's Not Going To Pay A Cent Of His Judgement

That's why people like him can continue to act the way they always have. They know that there won't be any actual accountability.

7. He might learn about a bankruptcy trustee's ability to claw back certain transactions.

9. Beat Me To It!

Declaring bankruptcy isn't a magic pill. The judge & trustee has a lot to say about what assets are protected.

3. This will be a classic test of our judicial system - let's see how it works.

My neighbor filed bankruptcy, didn't pay any of his employees, and continues to live like a millionaire.

I'm skeptical.

5. there must be a way to silence people like him

He has to hook up to the internet somehow. Between his mic and the outside world are:
an electricity company
a telecom company
an internet provider
a web domain
We need to empower judges to ban people like him from all of these things. Take his microphone every way you can.

6. Absolutely not

A judge has no business banning any political speech short of threats or calls to violence.

The first amendment is still a thing.

[Boomerproud]

8. Why he's still on the air and obviously has listeners and advertisers

has me totally gobsmacked. That we as a society have no control over this is absurd.

[Solly Mack]

10. Of course he did.

11. A trust is fronting $500K to Alex Jones' bankruptcy lawyer
