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!

If there is one moron at work, you have a moronic coworker.

If everyone at work is a moron, you are the moronic coworker.

Or you sleep with a bunch of managers

Edit... I typed work, you damn phone. Or maybe I'm tired and need sleep

I mean, it would be somewhat on-brand for her

Well when it comes to personal trainers this works

If it smells like shit near someone, avoid them.

If it smells like shit near anyone, check the bottom of your shoe.

Did she encounter a mirror?

(it's a joke, I know there are enough clowns in washington to create a natinowide job shortage in circuses)

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Lol she'd never pass the mirror test.

.... and an echo

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

She entered that room at the end of Enter the Dragon.

To be fair she does work in congress

For the outliers who may not be familiar with the term Dunning–Kruger effect, here it is in the real world.

[–] douglasg14b 28 points 1 year ago

It also creates a really weird paradox where the folks suffering from this effect do not believe they are suffering from this effect and instead believe that everyone else is.

It's a lose-lose situation for everyone involved. There is no winning play, since any play means being drug down by stupidity.

Remember kids! When you feel surrounded by idiots, it usually means you are the idiot.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Either that or you're traveling through rural America

Wait I genuinely thought Newsweek was satire

[–] AFKBRBChocolate 28 points 1 year ago

They used to be a respected news publication, but then they got bought and turned into a streaming pile of dung. It's all about what gets clicks now, so your confusion is understandable.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Oh boy if only.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

All those people she works with think the same thing about her.

[–] notannpc 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In that video clip she’s not actually wrong. And I feel dirty just typing those words out. Americans are going broke because of the idiots in Washington DC.

However, maybe she shouldn’t be throwing stones inside her glass house. She’s easily in the top 5 of the most moronic people in DC.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

You say idiots like they don't know what they're doing. They do. They are paid corporate liars, decievers, malicious abusive sociopathic ETOW oil cock sucking actors. Do not for one second pretend that Biden is anything but exactly the same.

I'm tired of all the blond, red jacketed, play-doh faced morons I have to work with here in Washington!

It’s like the Queen looking down upon her subjects with disgust.

Let them eat gespacho (police)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah I think Queen Elizabeth was not a complete out of touch monster. Can’t say the same for most other parts of The Firm.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not disagreeing; my statement was about MTG being the Queen of the Schmucks, not comparing her to Liz or any current monarchs

I wonder if any of them graduated high school ?

[–] morriscox 5 points 1 year ago

She sounds like a snowflake.

Fuckin' Sporkfoot never fails to fail.

[–] LowtierComputer 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh weird. I wonder what caused that.

[–] PeckerBrown 4 points 1 year ago

I think it's turned out to be not true, but shit sticks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Has she looked in the mirror lately? Like, irrelevant of physical appearance, I just mean she needs to point to herself in the mirror and start screeching at THAT fucking idiot she sees.
