Hopefully the onion can eventually buy it at a steep discount too!

Not allowed to shoot CEOs, not allowed to buy your enemy’s company in a fair sale. What happened to the American dream

Only boomers and some Gen-x believed it. The rest of us grew up with the Internet and an ever-increasing feeling of betrayal and hopelessness.
Edit: Modified the language around Gen-X per the reply below.

Please don't lump Gen-Xers in with boomers. Why do you think Gen-X got its name? Disillusionment, detachment, loss of identity and purpose. Gen-X didn't know what was wrong, but they knew enough to know they were left out. Even boomers aren't to blame -- they just have more people in the ownership class right now. If we divide along age and generational lines, the capitalists benefit.

Deny. Defend. Depose.

Context. Volume. Relevance.

I thought they'd already bought it, I didn't know it was still in question. What a bummer. This was going to be hilarious.
-
Wait a second. A judge blocked the Onion from buying the site at auction because... he thinks it should have sold for more? My brother in Christ, do you understand what an auction is?!
-
Specifically, he thought the trustee should have allowed the other LLC (which is totally not affiliated with him yet only exists to shelter his supplement business) more time to counteroffer.

lame

Boooo

This is why I don't hype myself up over such stories.
There's always a rugpull.
-
Does the judge think that shitpile is gonna be worth much now? Like, unless they can force Alex to appear there and do skits, it's just a fucking website without it's, for lack of a better word, talent.
Keep at it, Onion, the funny outcome was just delayed, not averted!
-
No justice, no peace! Give them Infowars!
-
Boo this judge
-
not cool bro. not cool.
-
Who would even want to buy it now? Clearly this is in such a legal fuckstorm no one with certainty can buy it.
Feels like alex fucked himself out of a sale

Aw man, that’s some bullshit
At least we now know why Musk was upset. He intended to buy it and hand it right back to Alex Jones. Can't have the "alt-right" media sphere disappearing.
