Where’s that 350 foot gash caused by antifa at?
Oh come on! Stop it! This will put The Onion and all other satirical sources out of business.
Info Wars is the new source to follow
Is it finally from the Onion now? I keep hearing it is, then to hear it isn’t.
Yeah they’ve been putting out videos on the infowars YouTube page.
In case you hadn’t heard, Alex Jones popped like a balloon in his car. Seems like other news outlets are afraid to report on it…
Yeah makes sense. His fat red frustrated head has been on the brink of popping for a while now.
It’s weird how Richard Linklater either makes movies that I love (like Slacker and Dazed and Confused) or movies that make me want to find him and hit him in the head with a brick. Waking Life was probably his worst movie ever (only Blue Moon is a contender) and it’s just bonus points that it also happened to introduce the world to Alex Jones.
They are operating under a “realinfowars” brand across some of the major socials.
Who cares about the pool, it’s a distraction of the most obvious kind.
What I’m wondering now is whether the USA can recover from this utter disconnection of the executive from truth and reality.
There is now a undeniable precedent of just lying continuously while in office, to essentially no consequence.
This sets a new floor for what you can do while in power. How this doesn’t break US American politics durably, I don’t know.
Edit: well this is on topic: https://thegrimhistorian.substack.com/p/has-america-crossed-the-asshole-threshold
We broke.
No denying that brother.
A distraction from say… The TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES ™?
Trump is a symptom, not the cause. Our democracy has been hacked and dismantled, if we want it back it must be rebuilt
President Donald Trump drained the pool Monday, insisting vandals had left a 300-yard gash in its lining. But reporters and on-the-ground onlookers told CNN they saw no gash.
Holy shit, trump… lying!!! NO WAY! He would NEVER lie! he’s such an upstanding old gentleman!!
spoiler
/s just in case
The only morons who will give a shit about this damn reflecting pool are the MAGA dumbfucks. Use it as a urinal until the regime changes.
The best proof that the gash doesn’t exist is that they haven’t plastered pictures of it everywhere, and seem to have actually put black fabric over the fencing to block everyone’s view of the empty pool.
What a comedy of errors. You couldn’t make this shit up.
I saw some video thumbnail - can’t find it now - talking about how Donvict’s 900 foot gash was the drainage system?
Personally, I’m just kind of surprised that there was a motorcade in the damn thing to begin with. Nobody even puts boats in that, let alone cars.
Is my browser just blocking it or is this yet another article that doesn’t actually show any thing that they are talking about?
They have Twitter embedded links rather than just posting the photos directly. So tired of this.
Near the bottom, there’s pictures from the post the article is describing. Also a lot of (blank for me) ad spaces to get you to see ads before the content you’re looking for.
Nothing there. Interesting.
You’re probably (rightfully) blocking twitter. It’s basically showing this twitter post.
Thanks and yes that makes sense.
must be on your end, shows content as expected for me
I guess so it’s not there for me.
FAKE NEWS! But I have a great idea here, maybe it is the best one folks, just fill the whole pool up with beautiful, highly reflective mercury. Or, as they call it, quicksilver. You know what quicksilver is? They used to have it in thermometers before they made them woke… And and I also hear that the algae don’t like being in it very much! Just like looser liberals with box cutters. But if they want to reform, and I told JD about this already, we can do patriot baptisms in there as well! It’s going to be great! The only thing that would be greater is if we filled it up with liquid gold, but we can’t afford that now. Not after what OBAMA did. So the silver will have to do.
omg. that’s the perfect depiction of dumpy mcshitpants I’ve ever seen.
There isn’t much about this administration that could be less newsworthy than the shitty renovations to the fucking pool. Why the fuck is anyone interested in this
Because it shows very plainly the absolute incompetence of this government, not only for this project, but as a whole. I mean renovating the pool shouldn’t really be that difficult, should it? Just get a reputable company to do the job, and that’s it. But the government can’t even do that.
He doesn’t care about that, only that you’re focussed on this, not his failures & grifting.
You can focus on a lot more than one thing. People like to point and laugh about this.
True, but given what he has done & is continuing to do, is it really ok to laugh about?! I get that it can feel like there’s not anything else to do, but sometimes you’ve got to check yourself. Laugh at something else, not him.
Fscists are thinned skinned and being mocked for obvious failure is the only thing that works. You can’t shame them for they have none, but they can be infuriated for their incompetence. Even during WWII there were caricatures of Hitler and Mussolini people used.
As well it’s cathartic given the mountain of bad news and proverbial shit they shove into all channels.
Fair points, definitely understand the need for cathersism, just take care not to lose sight of all they do. It’ll be needed one day! All the best for getting through it all.
It was truly North Korea level propaganda when they sent some Faux State Regime Media lackey down there to stand in front of a puke green swamp and claim it was “American flag blue”.
The next thing is they’ll hold up 4 fingers and demand we see 5.

Sorry, not sorry
They’re not, it’s a distraction from the Epstein files & Iran. The media is bought & paid for.
as soon news hit about Jean e Carroll getting 5+mil, he whips a distraction.
In the media, to avoid talking about the more serious shit.
On places like lemmy, because humor is a coping mechanism and it’s way easier to make jokes about this than the more serious shit.
It’s called staying on top of the news cycle: if you can put story Y after story X, you make it harder for someone else to put what they want / real news after story X.
Fake news - the tires of the motorcade were part of an Antifa sleeper cell.
Gotta be the dumbest president the US has ever had.
Let’s not forget the dumb people that are letting him do anything he wants.
One of the dumbest people the US has ever had
But he got elected. Twice. So what does that say about US voters.
They are incredibly desperate.
So they double down on stupid?
Stupid was saying the things they desperately wanted. That’s how some cons work.
Desperate for what exactly?
Decent wages, ability to afford housing. The affordability crisis.
Desperate to the point of delusion in my opinion if they believed reality tv debutant Donald j trump ever cared about anyone but himself and enriching his family
Yes, obviously. That’s how a lot of cons work. The con man finds a group of desperate people and tells them what they want to hear.
To pay the wage of a child rapist?
I disagree, most of the people who voted on him are even dumber. And it shouldn’t be possible to be as dumb even as him.
One of the dumbest people ever had
That wasn’t obvious?
It bears repeating.
Bears tore up the pool?
No photos in the entire article. Brilliant.
There are some tweets at the bottom so you can click and be presented with an X login wall which I am certainly not going to be able to get past, not having an account to that nazi owned site. I just love twitter journalism these days.
use a nitter mirror
No.
fair 'nuf
So he wasn’t wrong, it’s just that he himself was the vandal.
