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!

"Our hands are tied! There is only so much we could do without having a majority in both of the houses and the executive. We have to reach across the aisle to make a compromise so that we move forward and make sure that some of our policies will get through. We may not be able to pass everything we want, but it is better than nothing. Perfect is the enemy of good. ~~Fuck you ordinary Americans! We don't care about you at all! You are not paying us enough, unlike the rich oligarchs who fund our campaign and lifestyle! We prefer to rub shoulders with our fellow rich politicians and donors from across the aisle. Oh stop whining, we're only going to give breadcrumbs so you stop crying, is that okay?~~"
