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!

FYI: Most of those braindead “am I not allowed to criticize Biden???” comments and posts on social media are a concerted effort by right-wingers from /pol and other such sewers, trying to get people to not vote against Trump. Don’t fall for it. These aren’t “lefties” or “tankies”. Just downvote, report, and ignore.

Maybe they're involved, but a much bigger player pushing that line of reasoning is the Kremlin. They want to get Trump elected again so he cuts aid to Ukraine.

Plus, there's 4 years of new Top Secret info for Trump to turn over to Putin.

You think he'll give up power after four years? He's already actively undermining the US' democracy.

[–] GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I was talking the last 4 years of Top Secret info created during the Biden administration. Because you know that Biden, unlike Trump, isn't giving away our Top Secret info to Putin. But, Trump will package it all up neatly with a bow, and hand it over to Putin the first chance he gets.

Lemmy is fucking FULL of them. Every other post is some Israel / Genocide Joe bullshit.

If you didn't know any better you'd think Joe is literally flying a bomber over Gaza right now.

It's getting tiresome even down voting this crap.

[–] suction@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Yeah, honestly it makes me wonder if Lemmy is also already over.

Don't forget to tag shills so you can keep an eye on them

I'm my software I click on the username and then the menu button in the top right.

Other software might require a click and hold. It might say "add user note"

Why are they wasting effort on like 200 leftist techies? They could get a lot more bang for their buck on Facebook.

[–] HRDS_654@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago

They are on all social media platforms.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 8 points 5 months ago

They have plenty of automated bots there too

Democrats not doing all the faschie shit they claim to be saving us from challenge level impossible.

Don't like Joe? You're a bot. Have a laundry list of gripes about Joe? Nope you're a single issue voter whining about a single racial cleansing like a baby.

Blue MAGA out here working overtime blaming the left for any and every Democratic loss, claim to hate Republicans but will hand an election to them every 4 years before they concede even an inch to the left instead of sprinting right to "court voters" that were NEVER going to vote with them.

That kind of propaganda is very common now so it makes sense that people have their guards up.
