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.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content 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.

People taking dumbass shit like this seriously is why the right will do literally whatever the fuck they want in this country. It takes 2 seconds of critical thinking and investigation to see that this is a complete nothing statement made as a joke. Yet half the people in the comments are gonna lock themselves in a bedroom and cry over this "attack on free speech".

I really fucking hate it when people say "both sides are just as bad", but c'mon guys. This is "the LIBS are trying to make your kids TRANS!" levels of stupid.

We have a president openly selling pardons, violating the Emoluments clause of the Constitution, illegally accepting bribes and gifts from foreign countries, and breaking laws without a second thought. Six Supreme Court justices openly accepting bribes from plaintiffs in cases before them, then ruling in their favor. Those justices completely ignore the Constitution, black-letter law and 250 years of precedent and make shit up to justify decisions that have no possible justification. A HHS chief who believes Youtube over science and is dismantling the very organization he oversees, plus blocking new vaccine development and deployment of existing, effective vaccines. The list goes on and on.

The GQP has shown that they will do whatever the fuck they want because there are literally no consequences. Some people crying over attacks on free speech isn't going to make a damn bit of difference to them either.

Raw Story and The Daily Beast are garbage sites that make the left look stupid

But see, that would require reading the article and not just the headline.
