I forgot to mention this is an onion article, so here's the link to it:

https://theonion.com/gop-urges-democrats-to-tone-down-rhetoric-used-to-quote-president-verbatim/

The fact it sounds so real really shows how crazy the current American term is.

I remember when Joe Rogan was going off on Biden for saying something stupid about naval ships or war or something. Then kept saying how he's not suited for office.

Turns out Biden was quoting Trump.

Rogan obviously backpedaled on that statement being suitable for the office of the president of course.

[–] xistera@lemmy.dbzer0.com 50 points 6 days ago

I remember that, too. He said that anyone else would have been removed from their job for saying something like that, but when he learned that Trump said it it was "oh he just messed up his words".

Probably should make sure to include the onion logo when posting screenshots from the onion

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 37 points 6 days ago

The problem is without the logo its too believable which means its not satire enough and just made up news and not funny. Most likely just giving them ideas.

To be honest, I found the screenshot elsewhere and it didn't even occur to me that it was an onion article because of how real it sounds, but I guess it adds to the comedic effect.

I'll add an acknowledgement and it's URL, since I can't switch the image. But hey, at least I didn't post it in c/nottheonion!

Didn't Trump just threaten to let Iran blow up Los Angeles?

[–] meat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] KeithD@lemmy.nz 14 points 6 days ago

The implication was that they'd be nuking them. Which presumably means he was threatening to give them nukes too.

As a non-American, I've seen GOP used occasionally and never really checked what it meant (I assumed it was a US government acronym within the Republican party for something). I didn't realise it was another name for the Republicans, and worse still that it stood for 'Grand Old Party'. Wtf kinda dumb name is that

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 44 points 6 days ago (3 children)

The name is entirely ironic for several reasons. 1) The democratic party is older than the republican party by 26 years. 2).They have been nicknamed the Grand Old Party since the 1870s despite being founded in 1854. 3) The name was granted specifically as praise to the party for leading the Union to victory against the Confederacy in the Civil War, while many GOP members and supports proudly fly the confederate flag nowadays. 4) When they were given that name, they were the progressive party (relatively speaking) fighting for federal economic protectionism and civil rights, while the democrats were the ones were fighting for states rights and free markets. Yet they pretend to identify with "The Party of Lincoln" and cling to the "GOP" moniker to maintain the illusion of any real connection there.

[–] OmegaMouse@pawb.social 16 points 6 days ago

That's actually really interesting, thanks! Yeah it sounds about right that they'd cherry pick the good bits and rewrite history to suit them...

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

The good ole southern strategy, basically some politicians decided to appeal to racist cockwhombles in the south to get votes, which flooded the GOP with former southern democrats, which made the original GOP politicians to switch parties.

Basically the parties did one giant flip and ended up in the same place with different names.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

huh, i would argue the democrats were pursuing a different type of federal economic protectionism that "coincidentally" lined up with making slavery legal in all 34 states.

~~Free~~ Enslaved Markets

FR, though. We are talking Post-War here. But while enslavement was illegal, they still had the next closest thing for a long time... indentureship through share cropping (debt bondage), forced child "apprenticeship" for orphans, vagrants, and kids they just stole from their parents, and leasing prisoners convicted of such crimes as unemployment, loitering, and changing employers.

Generations after the Civil War, people. 190,000 black children were re-homed and force to work in agriculture or domestic jobs until adulthood. Convict Leasing didn't end in Alabama until 1928. Debt bondage wasn't outlawed federally until 1966 over 100 years later. And only mostly because it had already faded with the mechanization of the Ag industry in the decade or two prior. That is well into the Baby Boomer era. This is still relatively recent history.

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 11 points 6 days ago

More recently it stands for Group Of Paedophiles

The fact that we have to ask speaks volumes about the current state of the US...

TBH I was 50/50 on if it was satire or not.

yeah i've learned to recognize that style guide

[–] kboos1@lemmy.world 31 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Guys, let's stop quoting Trump. He says some really dumb and hateful stuff, so let's not repeat it and remind people that electing him was a mistake that they can't take back.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 14 points 6 days ago

Found every national newsroom.

They have been sanewashing him since 2015.

[–] troglodytis@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Um... The voters knew who he was. They voted specifically for dumb and hateful

Grab her by the pussy.

Me if I was the Dems:

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 days ago

Wait no this wasn't 10 years ago it was like 3

[–] AtomicHotSauce@piefed.social 10 points 6 days ago

How about go fuck yourselves, fascists.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Is this onion? I can't even tell.

You also can’t tell because the image is extremely vague/fake looking in that it has almost no info to source it

Well fuck, this has to be Onion right? Right??

(please note that I am allowed to say fuck because I bribed @lwadmin@lemmy.world , I mean financially supported the lemmy.world instance and you should too).

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 days ago

They did that completely unironically with Charlie Kirk, and it was more than urging. Reality outpacing The Onion yet again.

Trump invaded Iran to reduce foreign fossil fuel production competition with the GOP's gaslighting.
