i am literally 35

 

does this help Alex Jones in any way whatsoever?

(I am not good at Business)

 

it they’re building surveillance towers you think they’d have the imagination to at least name the company after one of the towers lmao. But yeah besides the point. I’m just poking fun because it distracts me from the existential dread

 

it was a bankruptcy auction to help pay off what he owed to the victims of sandy hook's families

the families helped this happen


"Terms of the deal were not disclosed. But the Sandy Hook families increased the size of The Onion's bid by agreeing to forgo a portion of the money Jones owes them.

"From day one, these families have fought against all odds to bring true accountability to Alex Jones and his corrupt business,” Chris Mattei, an attorney for the Connecticut families, said in a statement. "Our clients knew that true accountability meant an end to Infowars and an end to Jones’ ability to spread lies, pain and fear at scale."

The Onion acquires Infowars

 

I can't believe they let you out unsupervised tbh

 

Can we admit, even if ~ it doesn’t work that way ~ , that this doesn’t look good

 

give your irl life a gpa score now

 

as one of the posters in this thread who is most sympathetic, shall we say, to Ukraine's current position, I can admit that this looks absolutely terrible

I think it exemplifies the Biden administration's unique knack for alienating & pissing off literally everybody, with their insane combination of the positions they do choose to stake out and then their confounding lack of action the rest of the time

it makes me think of the alleged Obama quote "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to fuck things up"

 

Didn’t care about GPA in high school, didn’t care about it in college. Got mostly B’s with the odd C or A thrown in there. “Good enough”

 

The Majority Report had two really good interviews yesterday, this one talks about immigration/deportation.

 

Can we get this energy for student loans? Can we get any energy at all actually?

 

the short answer is "no"

the long answer is also "no"

I don't know how you look at his actions and inactions and come to any other conclusion other than Biden liked and supports a lot of donald trump's policies

I suppose you could say that he doesn't like to verbalize this publicly because he seems to think that it looks / sounds bad, but that is actually the less respectable position if we're being honest

I mean, look at those pics of them bro-ing out yesterday at the White House - Biden was absolutely fucking glowing haha I almost felt a little bad for Dr. Jill

 

The Onion feels like it has been almost back to it's early 2010's peak quality ever since they dropped A.V Club earlier this year. This is going to be incredible.

 

Gotta give Ben Collins credit...got introduced to him during the Trump term as a internet disinfo guy, didn't expect him to play such a big part in the Onion lol

 

Dems not building housing: Hahahaha

20 years later: Fuck!

 

If only we had an election where the Republican wins the popular vote but the dems win the electoral college, then maybe there would actually be something done about it

 

they would just do January 6th again

 

every argument I have ever heard in favor of the electoral college is actually solved by not having it in the first place

 

Like I think i understand the take Grim is poorly attempting to make here, but also don't understand why he thinks it's good idea to make this "well he actually does have some beliefs that align with the left, nobody else is saying it" take about a corrupt pedophile becoming AG. I don't give a fuck how he feels about Cannabis and or if he likes Lina Khan right now
