Can you bite the onion if the news are, not only plausible, but reasonable?

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 22 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Just a little bite, as a treat.

But yeah legitimately I don't see anything in that headline I don't believe is true.

I guess "courageously"

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

"courageously" - that's The Onion's way of giving readers a hint it might be satire.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Except, have you read anything the "news" has put out about the guy? They kiss his taint regularly and only touch him with kid gloves. Just saying...

"Trump-Epstein files"

I hope the media catches onto this phrase.

Buddy I got bad news for you about Bill Clinton and probably a hell of a lot more people in both parties.

These people don't seem to realize biden was president for 4 years and could have done something about it for every one of those four years but didn't, for a reason

Every Democratic presidency in a nutshell.

Hey onion.... could you make satire again?

[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Is he copying Netanyahu's work?

[–] plyth@feddit.org 7 points 9 months ago

This, but for real.

What but nuclear will the war be in 2027?

All the Trump shenanigans are a distraction from the preparations.

[–] notabot@piefed.social 6 points 9 months ago

Why is this filed under 'theonion'? Does anyone actually think he wouldn't start a nuclear war to avoid embarasment, let alone what would happen to him if anything damning came out in those files? I sippose the only unbelivable bit is that he is planning anything, rather than being told what to think.

Misread courageously as egregiously. Still kinda works.

When reality surpasses fiction

He is sorta doing that right now by moving the submarines near Russia
