Why can't we have nice things man

Just a reminder that the national review is a garbage rag and a biased source.

The judge had questions about the process used to decide the onion had won, and reviewed the information. That's not the same as blocking the sale.
A hearing is normal after the sale of assets, and the people making the claim that it's not are the other buyer, which is ... Alex Jones.

Jones was accused of peddling the narrative that the shooting, in which a gunman killed 20 first-grade students and six teachers twelve years ago, was a massive hoax designed to get federal gun-control legislation enacted. The plaintiffs alleged Jones defamed them on his show and inflicted emotional distress.

That's a very slanted way to say "Jones was convicted of defamation and inflicting emotional distress on the families of a school shooting by insisting their children weren't real".

That judge sounds butthurt. I wonder who appointed him….

Well well well he was appointed by Carl E Stewart who was appointed by Slick Willy. Not what I expected.

When does Jones realize that no matter what happens, it doesn’t end well for him?

I'm not so hopeful. The government is shifting to full crazy and he helped them get there. Unfortunately I think if he holds on long enough he'll be alright.
