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:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...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.
And that’s basically it!

Thats the thing I don't think they get.
"Ok, well our guy will go to jail, but so will yours!!!"
"That's fine."
"But then we BOTH lose!"
"This isn't a MAD doctrine situation. This is supposed to be more like a scorched earth situation. No corruption left behind."
And I don't think they grasp that.
What they don't grasp is that we'd send our guy to jail: because they won't.
That's the difference.
When a corrupt democrat is exposed they're expelled (bye bye Cuomo)
When a corrupt republican is exposed they're re-elected.
Even if it’s egregiously overstated (Al Franken).
This still makes me mad.
