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.”

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!

Pretty sure having one or more conflicts of interest is a requirement for Republicans and their allies.

Wait until you realize that it’s not just Republicans….

Yes, but the only people with the power to stop them have a conflict of interest too.

You know that's kind of the point with the whole MAGA thing. They're picking up exactly where they left off in 2020 with thundering applause.

It is. Elon licks Trumps butt because SpaceX space missions, and Trump licks Elons butt because of Twitter.

Also keeping tariffs that allow him to fully corner the EV market.

95% chance they will serve themselves and not the public for sure.

It's not, since it isn't an official actual government department, even if it will act as one.
