The Onion has successfully acquired Infowars.
The satirical news outlet purchased Alex Jones' right-wing conspiracy empire at a court-ordered auction, the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting announced Thursday.
"The dissolution of Alex Jones’ assets and the death of Infowars is the justice we have long awaited and fought for," said Robbie Parker, whose daughter was killed in the 2012 school shooting.
As part of the deal, The Onion, owned by Twilio co-founder Jeff Lawson and led by chief executive Ben Collins, acquired Infowars' website, product inventory, customers lists, social media accounts, and intellectual property.
Collins told Status that Infowars will be rebooted under new ownership in January.

 
The scramble is funny. New York shelved their plans for a $15 per day toll for cars in NYC last April so that it wouldn't hurt dems in the election. They've put it back out there and are trying to implement before inauguration. Trump had slowed/practically killed it his first term.
 
Maybe they'll fuck a bunch of russian shit up, Russia will hold off on WW3 for trump to take office and then there's a negotiated end.
