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!

fucking president of the United States

My pet theory here is that the RNC likes having a populist for election purposes and someone who is culpable that can be ejected if needed. In this case, culpability has to fall outside range of a self-pardon or any presidential immunity. I think the civil cases qualify for that, but I'm not sure.
