And yet Eisenhower had no problem installing brutal totalarian governments

On January 17, 1961, at the end of his second term in office, President Dwight Eisenhower tried to pull back the reins on U.S. military intervention in other countries with his warning about the military industrial complex. But he did not apply that same restraint to covert CIA interventions in other countries — covert interventions that he worked very hard to protect and keep secret from Congress and the public.

'good president'
The dark side of Eisenhower's foreign policy
While he warned about the military industrial complex, he was less restrained when it came to covert interventions, some which reverberate today.

He's about to get spanked again. This time in Connecticut, where there is no appicable punitive damages cap.
Evidently, a corporate lawyer employeds by Jones' company testified as a company representative, and made several damaging admissions.

Essentially she admits that Jones does no independent research, which he claims to do, but that he gets the conspiracy theories from elsewhere without fact checking, and bases his decisions on whether Google Analytics suggest high ratings which in turn will help him sell more "supplements."

A representative hired by Alex Jones to testify for Free Speech Systems, Brittany Paz, gave hours of testimony about Jones' Infowars Show, admitting that false statements were made about the Sandy Hook shooting for money. A Connecticut jury is now determining how much money Jones and his company...

What I find amazing is that people still follow him despite knowing that his whole schtick is to just sell supplements. Like what exactly is his appeal?

He is a high-ranking member of the in-group they identify with. Doesn't matter if he picks their pockets and shits in their shoes.
Submitting to a rightful authority figure is like the whole point of being a right-wing authoritarian.
Trying to use reason and logic to determine the why beyond that is pointless.

This makes me curious about what it must be like to witness emotional expression and regulation for someone who lacks empathy and regulatory capability. What conclusions must someone draw about what's going on in the minds of others?
I think what is happening is that the lawyer, in describing his behavior is turning on the emotions of utter loathing and disgust that are generated by a person of his moral character and he objects to this because in his own personal opinion he is a saint that is innocently incapable of seeing any of it. And the reason for that is that he is a psychopath that renders him incapable of experiencing empathy. The moral shame that most people would experience doing the dirt he has done is dead in him.
Hehe, I started my post before I saw this as I was interrupted by a phone call.
I think what I said was my theory on what it must be like.

Good. Let him show arrogance. Let him rant and rave in front of a jury who is going to decide if he gets to retain a plug nickel after this is over. Let him act like he believes he did nothing wrong when it's already been legally established in the case that he maliciously defamed the plaintiffs. So let him show no humility or contrition. He already got stung for $50 mil in punitive damages in the Texas case. This one has 8 plaintiffs. Maybe they can add a zero to that.
Just like with Trump, narcissists can be their own worst enemies.

How is that amazing? I couldn't watch past 60 seconds. That interviewer let him interrupt everything he said and go off ranting like a child.
A large portion (maybe the majority) of the video is not Alex Jones being interviewed. I think the video is very well done and worth watching imo.

Alex Jones must pay Sandy Hook families nearly $1 billion for hoax claims, jury says
Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones must pay at least $965 million in damages to numerous families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook mass shooting for falsely claiming they were actors who faked the tragedy, a Connecticut jury said on Wednesday.

Nothing wrong with that-it is certain that Jones will appeal and will certainly claim that the most minor procedural error was prejudicial to his rights. If being extra careful delays things a half hour now, it's well worth it.
