Here’s Why I Decided To Buy ‘InfoWars’ By Bryce P. Tetraeder, Global Tetrahedron CEO ☞ https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/
And let me say, I really do see it as a family. Much like family members, our brands are abstract nodes of wealth, interchangeable assets for their patriarch to absorb and discard according to the opaque whims of the market. And just like family members, our brands regard one another with mutual suspicion and malice.
🤣
Well they dont have to do anything for the second part.
Holy crap. It’s like they were reading the hive minds here yesterday. Crazy.
Genius move from the Onion.
They're going to release completely absurd and hilarious conspiracy theories and the regular followers of InfoWars who didn't know about the change of ownership won't even see the difference.

"I FUCKING KNEW IT!!!"
Conspiracy crap tends to be pretty absurd as it is. Comping up with writings that surpass that level of stupidity and insanity is not a trivial task. Hats off to anyone who can come up with anything that competes with lizard people or flat earth fantasies.
This is the best news I have heard lately.
They're dated no? Infowars and the onion?
I already thought it was very stupid, but I look forward to it now also being funny and not just sad and pathetic.
50% there!
