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!

I’m not sure if this is a joke or if you actually think he was a conservative on the Colbert show

This user is well known as a lighthearted troll, but I have heard others say this unironically IRL.

No, entire demographics were and are that dumb.

That is why we are in this creek in this canoe, with no paddle.

I admit I used to think that, mainly because I picked up on the conservative persona before realizing it was satire and immediately stopped watching.
