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!

What this guy said^^ focus on the real issues and watch out for the other sleight of hand cause in the end that's all it is. They want us bickering with each other while closed door deals are being finalized

Yeah, they've been pretty explicit in wanting to "flood the zone" with new shit everyday to annoy and outrage us, and so that the media doesn't have enough time to cover in depth what's really going on.

All of this stuff like "Gulf of America", "Red White and Blueland", adding Trump's face to Mt. Rushmore, putting Trump's face on the $100, etc. It's all a bunch of look-at-the-birdy bullshit.

Basically the raison d'être for MTG or Lauren Boebert - have em stand up and say dumb shit and keep attention focused on them while the GOP continues to fuck the average taxpayer.
