Reminder: In addition to not being The Onion, this isn't a politics community
-
Look, I get it. The gargantuan shit-show that is U.S. politics and the American descent into fascism is on everyone's minds. It's certainly on mine.
But the point of this community is to highlight weird news stories that make you go, "By golly, I thought I was reading a headline from The Onion. You know, America's finest news source." A lot of stories being posted lately don't even remotely fit that.
That doesn't mean political stories aren't allowed here, but they must have headlines that would make people pause and wonder if it's a story from The Onion. Straight up regular, non Onion-y headlines don't fit.

My removed by a mod post was political and I missed this pinned post. That's on me and I apologize.
The Onion would definitely have thought up a more...imaginative name!
I deleted the post as well. Again, sorry for the slip.

@[email protected] don't you go giving me a safe place to catch my breath as the US falls apart! (Kidding, if that wasn't apparent.)
