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.

Are you fucking kidding me? The US is ruled by memes now. How long until they reach out to Scumbag Steve or Success Kid?

I'm glad that I took vector calculus in college, so I can accurately model this fucking parabola of the country going straight into the ground.

Let me blurt it out here, people: you are looking at your next president. And I am aware that, currently, by law, a non american can not be elected for office.

By law, neither can an insurrectionist, but here we are.

You are.

I'm outside the lines watching the circus burn, keeping my hopes up the audience notices it and get out while there is time.

Not sure what you're trying to say here. I'm supporting your point that rules will be broken; they already have been.

Just trying to (more or less) clearly state, that although not being american, I am aware things are getting very bad over there and have the potential to get even worst, but I hope the people realize it in time to do something to turn it around.

Oh right, well I’m not American either. But I reckon this could have global implications and we’re all stuck on this little rock together (whatever Elon thinks about Mars).

Laws mean nothing any more. Both houses of Congress are Republican and the Supreme Court has several Trump supporters on it. No one with any power will stop him.

DEPORT HIM, FFS!!!!

Next up. We're renaming dollars to x-coin.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

X-bucks, it scans better. Sorry not sorry.

No x-bucks is alimony

Bureaucracy is good at one thing; making sure nothing slips by.

Elon wants deniability.

Congratulations America. You put the reins of power in the hands of toddlers coming up with cool names for made up comic book superheroes.
