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!

Mike Johnson is a walking argument for voting against 70+ year-old geriatrics who can't string together coherent sentences.

All it takes is one exceedingly unlucky accident and that motherfucker becomes president.

It's a bit bonkers that the way the American system works can so easily result in a president who is a member of the other party.

That's by design, sadly.

And not only that, a majority of voters seem perfectly content with it.
