Hey. ONION. Please STOP reporting REAL NEWS. !!!

dinoraptor.bsky.social•1 day ago

Misinformation / Divisive: Trump made no such claims, historically pro constitution, Onion is a “satire” site not “news” it’s important to not misrepresent your account nor intentions.

If “Satire” label as such,

Compare to “babylone bee”

dockhog.bsky.social•1 day ago

By allowing Trump to carry on each any every Republican official are showing their total disregard for the American people. They are all cowards for not standing up to this convicted felon, sex offender, lied, etc.
They should all be put up against the wall.

jnetter.bsky.social•2 days ago

The one really good thing about The Onion right now is that it is highlighting how scary things are (and how much worse they could get). It’s a reminder that we need to continue to speak up.

turblescelbor.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's a powerful loophole. Similar to the one Mao found when he discovered his one neat trick for lowering rent.

stretchcunningham.bsky.social•2 days ago

So true. And that article was over 6 years ago...

More of a Not The Onion story.

this is probably just true actually

suhails.bsky.social•2 days ago

That is right. As long as he is carrying out his official duties, he can take a dump on the constitution all day long. Are you all happy now?

ratchetology.bsky.social•1 day ago

not satire

Onion: The faux headlines are blurring with the "what the actual fuck? headlines"

ksgant.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'll have you know that Chuck Schumer will look down his glasses on his nose furiously and say in a steady voice "we must pick our battles and this isn't one of them. I'm confident the American people will grow tired of this and maybe one of them will do something about it. Till then, have a muffin"

The sad part is he’s absolutely right. He’s literally committing modern day slavery, paid for by U.S. taxpayer dollars, and no one is stopping him. 😭😭😭

It’s funny cause it’s sadly true. Nobody has the balls to stop him. Bunch of useless, spineless people in Congress. Judges can’t do it all

This "satire" gets to the heart of America's Trump problem ...

garylotman.bsky.social•2 days ago

The only way to safely (more or less) tell the truth in the media these days is to label it as “satire”

susanbehrens.bsky.social•2 days ago

kamichanvt.vtubers.social•1 day ago

The fact that this article is from 2018 🥲

bearman02.bsky.social•1 day ago

A little too on-the-nose

bobjett.bsky.social•2 days ago

A bit too true to qualify as bonefide fake news. Americans 'may' be smart enough to recognize a malignant narcissistic sociopathic career criminal when they see one, but we're 'definately' stupid enough to let one destroy our childrens future.

northernastrophoto.bsky.social•1 day ago

The onion is throwing their hat into independent journalism these days

brooklynxman.bsky.social•2 days ago

Onion needs to hire a reverse fact-checker to stop them publishing stories that are just straight up fact.

richardladlof.bsky.social•2 days ago

Satire too accurate.

crackerjackson.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yup. Trump exposed that the presidency has been a dictatorial role all along. It's just that no one prior cared to break the pinky promises that are it's actual guard rails.

monkeysayswhat.bsky.social•2 days ago

The Onion has launched us past the breaking point of the aphorism, “It’s only funny because it’s true” to land in the middle of the Marilyn Monroe quote “I need one of those long hugs where you kinda forget whatever else is happening around you for a minute.”

immortal-lemon.bsky.social•2 days ago

This one is less satire and more just the genuine reality :/

tiffany-greeneyes.bsky.social•2 days ago

Ok but this isn’t satire, this is literally happening.

I really miss when I didn’t need to check and see if something was an Onion or Babylon bee article. Kudos for trying to write satire in this insane timeline where reality sounds completely deranged.

orionthefoolish.bsky.social•2 days ago

I know it’s the same joke in the comments every time (“I didn’t know you were printing truth now”) but it is really haunting that satire is struggling to keep up with the absurdity of the reality we’ve made.

jcole1974.bsky.social•2 days ago

Trump has never met a law that applies to him

barkofatree.bsky.social•2 days ago

What do all of you expect? Trumps got away with everything under our watch for over 16 years. 4 of these years, we had the power to stop him under the Biden leadership.

slownomaguy.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hey America, this is what you get when you elect a convicted felon as our president.

andyheppelle.bsky.social•1 day ago

I keep remembering the current POTUS mocking a disabled reporter and the hooks that seeing that public mocking and bullying, by the POTUS elect, put into Meryl Streep’s heart. Mine too. His dishonor is a stain on us all. https://youtu.be/cEWlM8Ygxlw

sarjenkat.bsky.social•2 days ago

Honestly, I think they lost control of the dimensional portal they use to get their satire from, and the rift is making absurdities a reality. Either that, or something happened and we're in the Lame version of a mirror universe.

solykos.bsky.social•1 day ago

sarjenkat.bsky.social•1 day ago

That's what I pointed out......

solykos.bsky.social•1 day ago

Maybe you did in a very ambiguous way. I happened to point it out in a more direct way.

observer31.bsky.social•2 days ago

Back in about 2009 or so, I started making jokes about "the onionification of reality". I jokingly worried about what this meant for the future.

Holy shit

sarjenkat.bsky.social•2 days ago

It took me a couple years more, but I've had that same concern. I joke about them using a dimensional rift, but honestly, given what we're dealing with out there, I have to wonder if I am not more on target than I initially thought.

observer31.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh, "we are in a splinter timeline that is slowly collapsing and by the mid 30s causality will cease to function" is just a joke... right?

sarjenkat.bsky.social•1 day ago

I thought so. As this farce that is in government right now is, though, I have to reconsider that it might not be a joke, but prophecy.
Either way, I'm running my freeze dryer all out putting away food just in case this is prophecy and not jokes.....
Worst case I'm stocked for snacks....

stevebuzinkai.bsky.social•2 days ago

Guys(Onion), I know times are tough, but we need more satire especially now. There are plenty of news sites that cover the actual news. Just keep doing what you do best. Now is not the time to change up your format.

hypergraphic.bsky.social•2 hours ago

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. -Declaration

But if no one stops him then it doesn't matter. Just like how there's many things against the law people do every day with little to no consequences. For example jaywalking, going a couple miles over the speed limit, etc.

andriantimeswift.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thing is, he's not even the first President to do this. Andrew Jackson realized that the Judicial Branch has no way to enforce its rulings over the Executive Branch, and just ignored a Supreme Court ruling telling him not to do the Trail of Tears.

baddlesmere.bsky.social•2 days ago

But he’s had the supreme court’s judgment that the president is not subject to law and issued an edict that only he and the AG can define the Law - he ignores the courts ….. welcome to the forth Reich drug heil!

polarbailey.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah that's pretty much my whole point. Idk if you meant to reply to me or the person I replied to.

With an ego as big as his rump.

With his ketamine grin,
He left the whole world in a slump!
