Goddamn it I cannot tell if this is actually a thing that has happened and even the fact that the co-owner of the Onion is telling me it happened does NOT clarify the situation one bit

Is Not The Onion
In this present hellscape-timeline I will take every morsel of good news and hold it close. I will take the transit package passing (Nashville), Kayla Young getting re-elected(West Virginia), Reuben Gallego winning US Senate seat(Arizona). Plus now (haHA!) the takeover of InfoWars.
Some of the money came from Sandy Hook families.

Apparently, Roger Stone was trying to buy the site--but this put the Onion over the top. ❤️

I kinda love it, and will love it even more if this turns out to be unironic, actually-true news.
I read the article on NBC News.

Will their subscribers be able to tell the difference? Is the distinction between a joke and a lie meaningful when the audience is too stupid to know the difference?

That's what this is. It's the absolute pinnacle of trolling, taking down one of the worst people to walk this earth, while simultaneously providing funding to benefit the survivors of one of the worst tragedies in modern US history.
The Onion is the epitome of CHAOTIC GOOD.
