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!

Not that different for the purposes he wants.

I bet we can tie a lot of his actions to the boob tube schedule

In the first admin it was clear he was watching Fox by reading his tweets and comparing.

Sounds like he belongs in retirement home.

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Nah he fell asleep watching The Rock, that’s more his style.
