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!

The worst part, following your colloquialism to "level the playing field," is that while the Republicans are pointing to distract their constituents, they're stomping down tons of mounds of shit and trying to use some of the shit to fill in divots. When people look back at the Republicans' field after just scrutinizing the Dems', they're craning their necks to see the Republican side of the field because it's dozens of feet higher and filled with compacted poopie.

Then, they have the audacity to look down on the people from their hill of shit and start crowing all indignantly "but is my field not as level as theirs???"
