"Senator Lindsey Graham BUTTFUCKED by Matt Gaetz (GONE SEXUAL)"
That’s disgusting, where??
That's my favorite internet of the day.

Just once I want to see politicians put each other in a suplex or a pile driver.
Nothing defends the public's rights like THE PEOPLE'S ELBOW
Missouri just passed a law that will allow that.
Bc it's Missouri, ofc it did.:-P
How does that work?
~~I mean... it's Missouri so... most of the time it does not~~.
Oh, you mean the law. Nobody knows actually - like, murder is still illegal, and I would guess violently assaulting someone still would be too. But don't overthink it, they just wanted to sound tough by putting the words on paper, yet likely they have zero intentions to ever follow through.
Also, if tRump has taught me anything, it's that consequences never apply to the people in charge of things:-(.
Lemmy user SLAMS usage of hyperbolic words in headlines!
Wow: Lemmy User Shock Topper Outburst Blasts Tabloid Media; Parodic Backlash Roast Ensues
I’d like to see a use of “shits all over” in the press.
ROASTS and TORCHES and BLASTS
Watch as they SAY THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD
I fucking hate when publications use these terms.
Other ones that grind my gears:
'Claps back'
'Outraged'
'Caused a Storm'
Like 9/10 when I see 'outrage online' used in a piece, it's actually just like a handful of Twitter people complaining for the sake of complaining.
Also, what the fuck does clap back even mean.
Rage-bait, another eshitification feature
“BAH GOD— HERE THEY COME WITH A STEEL CHAIR!”
"if it bleeds it leads... Or failing that make some shit up that will get clicks"
Slammin’ 😎
Copy editors being cats WOULD explain a lot.
