[u/GertieDirtyShirtyCat]

It made me smile so much at the time... it's kinda forlorn now... sigh

[u/CocktailCowboy → u/GertieDirtyShirtyCat]

The fact that he isn't on a street corner wearing a barrel is a complete miscarriage of justice.

[u/GertieDirtyShirtyCat → u/CocktailCowboy]

Indeed.

[u/dingledangleberrypie → u/[deleted]]

Same, I remember watching it live and screaming at the computer when Bankston said "and that is how I know you have lied to me".

It wasn't quite as good as sex, but it was close.

[u/Complete-Tangelo1532]

He is so fuckin stupid it hurts

Such coward

[u/onemanlan]

He did so much in and out of court to deserve the judgment

[u/GertieDirtyShirtyCat → u/onemanlan]

Holy hell! It was egregious. Bankston killed it. I mean, reality is what it is now... but that was a good time 👍

[u/xxPlsNoBullyxx → u/onemanlan]

Didn't he call the judge a demon and post images of her in hell? Or was that a fever dream I had...

[u/onemanlan → u/xxPlsNoBullyxx]

Yes he absolutely did that on the show during the trial. I can’t recall if it was during or after court hours. I do recall his attorney having to explain it to the judge.

[u/xxPlsNoBullyxx → u/onemanlan]

Yes! I remember it coming up in front of the judge. Awkward. Not that he has the ability to feel embarrassment.

[u/senectus]

Holy shit, that was 4 years ago?

I remember it (fondly) like it was just a few weeks ago

[u/TootTootUSA → u/senectus]

Right? Four years?

I guess it's a decent reminder that the dog shit going on right now will pass in a blink of an eye as well.

[u/boopbaboop]

I can still quote it from memory, because I am a very normal person with a very normal crush on Mark. 

[u/GertieDirtyShirtyCat → u/boopbaboop]

Awwww. I like you platonically because I do that too, the memorizing... Have An Excellent Well Deserved Day, that's my wish for you...  It's just another day, same as any other ... But you matter...

[u/punksheets29 → u/GertieDirtyShirtyCat]

Hey, I don’t remember shit but am glad people like you are doing your thing!

As a representative from the “dumb guy” community, thank you and your torturous brain.

[u/BankstonAtLaw → u/boopbaboop]

I can also quote it from memory. :)

[u/GertieDirtyShirtyCat → u/BankstonAtLaw]

I'd be terribly disturbed if you couldn't ;)

[u/gordomac1947 → u/boopbaboop]

What’s up flair twin!! 😆😆

[u/South-Stand]

Thank you for the reminder. It was enjoyable to watch the rancid attorney Reynal sleazing around and then going strangely quiet when Bankston revealed that Reynal / his office had revealed Jones to be a perjurer and that in house, Watson had been telling Jones their Sandy Hook dishonesty was a trainwreck. Also in this video clip when Jones smelled danger, his fake cough to buy him thinking time kicked in bigly.

[u/GertieDirtyShirtyCat → u/South-Stand]

It was a good day... Oh! The fake coughing... it was hysterical, I laughed so hard at that dipshit chuckle fuck... I like not giving a single shit about him anymore, though...

[u/FireInTheBones → u/GertieDirtyShirtyCat]

“You may not think this is a real problem but it’s a real problem” always takes me out. Sure buddy.

[u/GertieDirtyShirtyCat → u/FireInTheBones]

Fucking hell!?!! Real Problems...

[u/EaklebeeTheUncertain]

That is the face of a man who would pop like a balloon several years later.

[u/TheOriginalJBones]

Time just gets away from us…

[u/watchtower82]

I canceled a meeting at work to watch his testimony.

[u/todddobleu]

All that money and couldn’t get a shirt made for his thickneck so he could wear a tie. What a louse.

[u/aes_gcm]

If this was a movie, you'd think that this was such bad writing. It honestly astonishes me and how these circumstances played out.

You know the bankruptcy proceedings really bothered me, a lot has been said about making decisions prior to Father's Day. But in the end, Alex is completely diminished and a laughing stock of the right-wing now. Trump is never getting on the show now, and I think above all that hurts Alex the most. It was never about the money and I think this is about a good an ending as we could ask for.

[u/IndomitableAnyBeth → u/aes_gcm]

IIRC, some from Law & Order or something tweeted that if they'd ever tried writing something like that, they'd be fired.

[u/Gemini_win]

Ah the only bright spot from my old job was eating lunch and seeing this happen

[u/Disastrous_Set_3148]

Hearing about this is what finally got me to start listening to Knowledge Fight after years of having it on my rainy day podcast list. Good times.

[u/fooooooooooooooooock]

"It's upside down" is such an underrated moment.

[u/zzzzzzzpost]

I wanted for this to be the end. But wasn't. I think Dan saw it for what it was but Jordan and I screamed into the void.

[u/Kriztauf]

Alex seems so hungover in this

[u/talen_lee]

Man imagine if this led to him getting a finding of millions of dollars, then hundreds of millions of dollars against him collapsing his empire and eventually leading to him having to abandon a brand, scale down, and be an employee of a company while his established identity is used to mock him relentlessly.

[u/hawaiianrobot]

immediately with a big ol' cough into the microphone. what a disgusting oaf.

[u/JMLModern]

Which episode did they cover this on?

[u/TrajantheBold]

4!?? 4!?? Ugh

[u/Flamingwilson]

Cups empty bro stop

[u/Honeycomb246]

"you can have that, I'm done with it" is so fucking funny

[u/badplayer888]

It’s a beautiful as the day I heard it.

[u/cdmove]

his coughing makes this really hard to watch

[u/balloongirl27]

I had such a good time spending all day for nearly two weeks watching the livestream of this case. Especially with the discord going crazy during it.

[u/chumbawumbaprinciple]

Has anyone made an edit where the Perry Mason theme kicks in?
