The ruling dashed, at least for now, the plans of The Onion’s parent company to take over Infowars and radically shift its content.

    Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez is from Texas and first got an MA in Theology before going into law – if that gives you any useful context.

        Jesus was always saying punchy one liners. He’d be a brilliant satirist.

        Depends on which “Jesus” you are talking about.

          The gospel of Supply Side Jesus clearly states that it is easier for a rich man to pass through the gates of heaven seated comfortably on the back of a camel than it is for a poor man to enter the eye of a needle. So I don’t see the issue - more money = more gooder

            According to Supply Side Jesus, Rich men pass through those gates on the backs of the people they mercilessly exploit.

        If only; that would be some tasty irony for a theology degree-holding judge

        It’s true that Theology does have a lot in common with Law

          Ah I see!

          Nah I just meant, “Nope it doesn’t give me any extra context because I’m too lazy and stubborn to read an article about that brain-damaged obese piece of shit”
