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!

She's not the best, but she's not the worst. Her biggest crime is what, using insider knowledge to trade stocks?
It's not like she gave a list of our spies to the Russians. Or likely sold classified documents. She didn't betray our allies. (Do I mean the Ukrainians, the Afghanis, or the Kurds?)
She was miles better than Manchin or McConnell. She wasn't our best, but she sure as hell wasn't a Republican. She got vilified primarily because she was a prominent Democrat for years. And it stuck because there was more than zero legitimacy.
They vilified her so much that some douchebag went after her and her husband with a hammer. There's a reason they didn't go after Manchin or Sinema or Menendez or McConnell or Gaetz.
She's better than the bar republicans set, which is so low it's on the ground. Doesn't mean she's good.
