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!

At this point Republicans are just being idiots. They say whatever 1940s idiot shit pops into their head.

Saying this in the 40s in america would get you hanged with an engine as counterweight.

De Santis may be a sack of shit but that doesn't justify the misleading headline in this case. He was giving a specific example of escaping "when a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle, and threatens you." DeSantis says so many outrageous things for real and pushes outrageous policies for real, there's no need to misquote him.

Just an FYI if you don’t smoke weed. Buy an AR15 and just be prepared. But if you do smoke weed. Buy it anyways but don’t admit you smoke weed. Ever.

I think he's saying that you can buy a semiautomatic rifle if you don't use the Marijuana, but if you do use the Marijuana, don't tell anyone. Maybe they used the Marijuana before posting.

Realistically it's a "Stand Your Ground" situation for the protestor if they are threatened with deadly force from a car attack, so the protestors can legally shoot drivers who are attempting to run them over. So if Rhonda wants to escalate that's what they are asking for, GTA street wars basically.
