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!

Well that was a pretty wild read.

That title's such a misrepresentation of what was said. She threatened a deadman's assassination if she was assassinated first by Marcos, which could be a legitimate risk. She said nothing of the sort about that being on the table in any other scenario. In more easily-conveyed words, "If you kill me, your days are numbered."

Also, to get ahead of it: ESH

Despite the clickbaity title, its unusual for a politician to publicly announce such thing.

The title's not just clickbaity, it's a misrepresentation to the point of bordering on DARVO tactics. You might as well publish a news article on August 10th 1945 that says "Japan mad at US".

Any suggestion for a better title? (genuinely asking) Regardless, I still think its a "NotTheOnion" worthy ~~post~~ news.
