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!

Just wait until Alex Jones gets appointed head of the FCC.

It’s Trump season again! USA is the cornucopia of absurd news for a few years, so buckle up and enjoy the ride.

We've got another four years of prime material. Like a milkshake this sub will be. It'll drink it all up.
