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!

A healthy, educated population is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative ideologies.

or any capitalist ideologies, for that matter

I'm not sure why someone getting sick would disqualify them from the role.

It's his batshit crazy conspiracy theories about vaccines, among other things, that disqualify him.

It's that he bragged about it.

[–] EatATaco@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

I thought it all came out in some deposition. Where did he brag about it?

[–] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

This is the equivalent of the Pope being put in charge of the Satanic Church.
