Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

We've got another four years of prime material. Like a milkshake this sub will be. It'll drink it all up.

Just wait until Alex Jones gets appointed head of the FCC.

I suppose I shouldn't give them any ideas...

A healthy, educated population is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative ideologies.

or any capitalist ideologies, for that matter

edit: now that I think about it, any authoritarian ideologies, even

I'm not sure why someone getting sick would disqualify them from the role.

It's his batshit crazy conspiracy theories about vaccines, among other things, that disqualify him.

It's that he bragged about it.

I thought it all came out in some deposition. Where did he brag about it?

Something tells me one has to do with the other.

This is the equivalent of the Pope being put in charge of the Satanic Church.
