wait wait wait wait the onion really bought infowars and it's not a joke??? what a fucking time to be alive.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.
There's just gotta be a line somewhere.
Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.
NEW: I found two "news" websites active on X and other platforms—Al-Fassel and Pishtaz News—that are in fact U.S. government-operated anti-Iranian military propaganda mills. Both appear tied to U.S. Central Command.

Journalists might've once had the excuse that the didn’t realize how bad MAGA extremism would be. But they can't plead cluelessness now. What’s left are cowardice, complicity and courage. Pick one.

Once again, it all should have ended immediately in 2017, when he started openly monetizing his hotels at Mar-a-Lago & around the corner from the White House. We have yawned, as a country, at unprecedented corruption right in front of us.

This is a boringly accurate, purely factual description of events.
And again, this is simply not receiving the same breathless BIDEN FAILED IN AFGHANISTAN type of coverage, even though this is orders of magnitude worse on every dimension. The two parties simply are not held to the same standards.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court takes up two new cases for next term, including a case over Colorado’s exclusion of Catholic preschools from public funding.
The case specifically raises a question the court has circled around for years: Whether 1990’s Employment Division v. Smith should be overruled.
This war is so damn confusing. It’s why we shouldn’t let drunks and dementia patients run it.
With the election of Rumen Radev, the russian terrorist state is shifting its war effort away from Hungary towards Bulgaria. Moscow hopes to regain its veto over NATO and the EU.
With little effort, russian terrorists exploit the fatal flaw of the unanimity rule and poison NATO and the EU.
