Depends on how many lawyers are willing to throw themselves on a grenade for you.

Just because every time he walks into the courtroom it's filled with the stench of a thousand graves, thick with glutinous, rotting putrescence, a foul corpse-wind wafting from the rancid rear end cheeks of a bloated, decaying husk, does not necessarily mean that he's dead.

i remember when MAL got raided, someone said it happened and to wait for the news, people piled in here to call them full of poo poo, then 5 minutes later someone posted a Maggie Habs tweet and the thread got like 1000 posts immediately

Wasn't the first word we got of the raid when Trump himself tweeted about it? Like he could have kept it under wraps but he chose to blast it to the world and make himself look as big a clown as possible?

Do you have more context about why this is good? All I see is that it was bought by a company that used a TheOnion trope.

I bought and read Our Dumb Century when it came out and I was floored by the historical intelligence and insane volume of content. It was like someone locked every Onion writer in a basement for 18 months with a few historians and said "Crank!!!". No clue how they worked that into their day jobs.

Because The Onion for the past 10 years has existed in a state of either being completely silent, putting out horribly unfunny tiktok "satire" content, and "satirical" comedy podcasts that no one listened to

Even bad new ONN content is still going to be an improvement

Our Dumb Century was so long ago I bought it just for the headlines when I didn't really know what The Onion was and was floored when the articles were fully fleshed out instead of PASSERBY lorem ipsum

Since the dawn of time, conservative humor has never, ever been funny. They always try to make it work and it goes belly-up. I think the Babylon Bee is trying so hard to be a conservative answer to the onion and they get buried as soon as they dip their toe into waters outside of the party line.
