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.”

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.

And that’s basically it!

nah, see, you got

  1. self-aggrandizing unelected bureaucrat
  2. intentionally sabotaging government programs to make his own vanity project look better
  3. blind obsession with deeply-flawed and barely-functional technological monstrosity
  4. claims sole credit for his program's achievements despite, at best, hiring the guy that hired the guy that hired the guy to build the schematic that some other guy gave him
  5. definitely blackmailing his boss
  6. barely committed to his administration's political agenda beyond whatever inflates his own ego
  7. nazi cosplay
  8. not a real face

dude's not Vader, he's Tarkin. Vance is the moody teenager from bumfuck nowhere who suddenly started sucking the spiteful old warlock's dick despite years of going on about how much he hates his whole deal, likely screwing over his wife in the process, making him Vader. and I guess Obi-Wan is Pope Francis because Vance definitely killed him.
