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!

I've never understood why people get upset over autopen.

Like - the signature doesn't really matter, it's just a formality showing that the president accepts the bill and makes it law. It could be a checkbox.

For some people it's a sign of respect.

But in this case they are simply trying to invalidate some laws Biden passed.
