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!

Because even a 20 year younger Trump would not be any better or smarter. So its not an age thing with him, but an asshole and idiot thing

For the same reason people think that 20 bucks is too expensive, but 19.99 is cheap enough. 77 ain't far off from 80 in reality. No matter how you play it, biases play a huge role in our perception.
