I am uncomfortable with this one because its a non-zero chance.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago

I swear, for a second I thought it was real, just like "huh, guess that's not impossible πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ"

I was actually more surprised this was the onion and not real. O.o

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Wow, I ate the onion hard on this one.

I ate the onion real hard for a moment there.

Yeah, I was 100% ready to see something like "the ICE Twitter account using AI-gen" following it. Definitely a possibility.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is it really even satire at this point? MAGA has released memes and AI videos like that.

The only thing funny about this is if newsom before being beheaded calls for national unity and working across the isle or something.

While I disagree with President Trump with their ICE raids, attempt to subvert democracy, and my execution. We both agree that the poor and trans people are a blight on society.

Gavin Newsom, final words before their execution

And isn’t that a sad commentary on life in the US?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day ago

Notable that this is how extreme they have to be to differ from reality

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The onion got the memo that their articles were being too realistic, thank you for readjusting.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago

Did they, though?

Or are they still just prescient?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

I believed it.

I love that in the midst of the gallows humor, they still managed to make fun of his hair.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Newsom's hair is almost punching down. OTOH, he deserves it. He looks so much like Gordon Gecko.

"Soonβ„’"

I cant wait for the first liveleak video starring a gestapo agent. Could be gunfire. Could be chainsaw. Could be waterboarding. I don't care. I need it. And I'm touching myself to it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wow, that's super fucked up dude.

...let me know if you find one

What would be the music track they use?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Unironically, "Born in the USA." But a cover by Kid Rock and Ted Nugent.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My ears are bleeding just imagining that 😬

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Now imagine Mike Huckabee doing a rap in the middle.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Republicans are literally falling into the lowest one can be.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Satire is dead.

And he'll still say "peaceful protests only guys"
