Legit had half the onion wedged between my jaws before I remembered to check the community.

Don't give the4 fuckwit any ideas.

Jeeeeeesus. This one got me. It's honestly pretty close to giving him ideas.

Yep, I immediately was like 'that definitely sounds like something they'd do'.

My ex owes me literal tens of thousands of dollars in child support. He's white, I'm not. (I am not Latina, but I am often mistaken for one.) I know it's satire, but Jesus Christ this was a terrifying thought.

I agree with everyone here, we have entered the phase again, where Trump's actions outwit satire by a long shot.

Even though it's the onion I have a feeling this is true on some level. Probably not so onion-ie

Ah, the beginning of his Stasi or Gestapo.

Really.

This is it.

A personally created police force of loyalists.

Edit: dammit. Got me. It’s too goddamn real, though.
