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!

It's nice when the trash takes itself out.

All these irrelevant people trying to make a name for themselves.

Well, they weren't going to win that state anyway. If a swing or red state followed, you wouldn't see this kind of response.

True. It's not like any non-hypocrite would ever enter THAT race.

As if we needed more proof he's just running for a position in Trump's white house

Thanks for reminding me. Edited to comply 🙂

Hmm, is it just kbin or is the post still an image, not a link?

[–] Viking_Hippie 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Must be federating more slowly to kbin. It's a link to the article on this account and the two I have on other instances.. just give it a little more time, I guess? 🤷

Are we just posting regular news now? I don't get why thus is funny.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It’s funny because it falls under the category of “shooting yourself in the foot”

It’s kinda funny because there is no point in him being on any Republican ballots in the first point. He’s sucking up to a bunch of racist voters who are never going to elect a POC, no matter how many fanciest promises he makes.

This would be similar me pulling out of the Tour de France because the leader was kicked out for doping. But I was competing on a Pennyfarthing.

Just because you disagree with him doesn't give you the right to kick him out. I'm not the biggest fan but it really does scare me to see candidates removed from a ballot. You may think this is fine or even necessary but no one will be laughing when there is only one box on the ballot.

We’re talking about Vivek here. He wasn’t kicked out, he withdrew.

The insurrectionist wannabe dictator doesn’t deserve a second chance. He fucked around, needs to find out, and the 14th amendment is there to do that.

Not all satire is funny haha. Here's an example of excellent satire from The Onion that's not funny at all.

Does this mean we'll get Grandpa Joe by default?

[–] Viking_Hippie 6 points 1 year ago

Nah, to the right of Reagan as he is, he's still not a part of the Republican primaries lol
