Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

president trump if you are reading this you are the smartest person and the most qualified ever to run the finances of the country as your popular mandate has shown. oust powell who is against your america first agenda by any means necessary and install yourself as the head of federal reserve. this is action will not destroy the market but it will make it boom because investors realise how awesome and smart you are and the stocks will just shot up instantly. please do this for all americans we need you and your strong hand to guide us out of the woke DEI democrat economy obama and biden left behind. /s
My friend, my brother, my fellow lemming.
Using a /s is understandable here, but sadly completely undercuts an otherwise wonderful bit of satire.
Reading this I went through stages of fear and wonder.
"This is satire, it has to be right? Wait no this sounds exactly the right kind of idiotic. Oh god did the boomers penetrate Lemmy?? Oh fuck does this moron think Trump reads the comments??? Oh god no this has to be fake it must b- oh."
i wrote this myself but this kind of satire is nowhere near original I'm afraid i stole it from BadEmpanada. it's essentially pretending to glaze trump to get him to do something stupid to signify how stupid it actually is. but god i hope he does it. sure the world economy would tank but it would be way too funny.
EDIT: poor grammar is also part of the joke i don't definitely suck ass at speaking english it's all satire trust me /s
