The onion needs to stop reporting the news.
Can't even smell the onion any more.
Then I looked and realized it was a joke. Dam! Reality sucks balls right now.
Its not funny
Well, fuck. The comments are what made me look at which comm I'm in. Up until that point I fully ate the onion.
The hard reality we live in is that sartire consists now of merely shifting the comma a bit, 1.2 trillion instead of 1-2 billion.
I legitimately think this would work if he tried. Republicans obviously don't dare to cross him, Democrats seem to be rolling over faster than ever, and we citizens are so terrified of our military being turned on us that we wouldn't do anything about it.
I think he should try it if for no other reason than to have a hilarious endcap on our nation for the history books.
From what I can see its not terror of military its fanatical electoralist rulesism decorum fetishists who will not tolerate anything else
this is just a story that's already happened at least twice, but with a bigger number
Not funny, didn't laugh.
And why is it not funny? Because this isn't satire, he straight up does shit like that.
Satire doesn't have to be funny. In this case is the exact point.
The type of content is sarcastic, which, unlike irony, usually isn't funny.
