The Onion buys infowars. (No joke)

I know quite a few people who embrace the whole “goblincore” thing – delightful people everyone of them. I can’t imagine any of them involved with anything AJ, except perhaps in protesting him. I have a horrifying thought that this particular site was intended to host something unsavory.

Fake news provider claiming that fake dollars were used to buy portal(s) for fakery and fake stuff [oh and the platfom(s) for selling supplements for sweet sweet $].

Sheesh.

Ah, a federal judge. On to the next higher court then? I imagine that once it reaches the SCOTUS, Jones will get it back.

I sincerely doubt SCOTUS gives a shit about Jones. They are above the petty squabbles of the hoipolloi. They only get out of bed to tear away people’s fundamental rights and abet fascism.

The absolute best part is that, with Sandy Hook families involved, they probably bought Infowars with Alex Jones’ own debt.

When the judgement was announced, Jones laughed, thinking they’d never collect any of it, but when using it to buy Jones’ own assets, it’s as good as gold. :rofl:

They will do as they are told.
Well, the majority of them, anyway.
If some billionaire or other wants this to be decided by SCOTUS it will be.

So, Mr. Musk is responsible not only for the alleged misinformation of Infowars, but is responsible for ALL the criminal schemes committed at X?

Agreed, though I think that would have to take the form of active support, a Gawker-like situation, with some billionaire overtly taking up Jones’ mantle rather than just passive support.

As soon as the judges started sticking his oar in I had a feeling this would end this way.
Being vindicated in pessimism is no fun, though.

Like everything else (e.g., individualism, free speech) from conservative shit bags: No, not like that!
