Just when you think that certain people can't go any lower

At least we get a new definition of "shameless" out of it.

From The Guardian (UK)

Alex Jones offers $55m to Sandy Hook families to satisfy $1.5bn judgment

The conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has proposed to pay $55m over 10 years to the Sandy Hook families who sued him for spreading lies that the 2012 school massacre in Connecticut, one of the worst in American history, was a hoax.

The offer came after a Texas judge ruled that Jones, the host of Infowars, could not use bankruptcy protection to dodge the nearly $1.5bn he was ordered to pay to the victims’ families, who suffered abuse and threats from believers of Jones’s lies.

According to the 30-page plan submitted on Friday, Jones offered to pay a lump sum of at least $5.5m a year, to be shared among the plaintiffs. The payment would also be accompanied by a percentage of his personal annual revenue, and a slice of Infowars revenue. His debt would be considered satisfied after 10 years.

So...is Jones auditioning to be on Cheeto's ticket as his VP candidate or to be an agency head (Treasury Secretary or head of the IRS) if he wins?
